How often are you dudes changing SIMs? I only ever do it when I get a new phone, and they always come with one.

Idk, maybe that most of the western food supply is owned by a select few conglomerates that have an interest in getting you to buy a ton of product and make it as addictive as possible? That's my guess.

A lot of my leftist friends will still let the bad be the enemy of any sort of good whatsoever it seems. It's exhausting as a leftist when you can never be outraged enough for other leftists.

Now you've got me thinking about it. Time to nerd out, I guess, haha.

From an algebraic perspective, it would be whatever "undoes" a thank you.

From a logic perspective, it would be something that is the complement of a thank you, and contradicts a thank you given ty ∧ ¬ty or is a tautology when ty ∨ ¬ty.

"Welcome" doesn't seem to quite fit for either of those cases. "Not thank you" or "ungrateful" do indeed seem closer.

I feel like GIMP was a depraved person's creative exercise in designing a UI and workflow as fucking shit as humanly possible and then leaving it like that for a couple of decades while continuing to develop the program.

But in reality I know it's probably due to the complexities of maintaining such an old project with limited resources and volunteers and I'm grateful something like it even exists.

It's funny because most of us on sites like Lemmy and Reddit are also extremely full of ourselves except most of us don't have a PhD. Who the fuck are we to judge.

It's a feature of a lot of parliamentary systems in general. It's honestly nice to have the shake up when things are at a standstill in parliament, even if the sometimes constant elections are annoying at times. It also helps to have more than just two viable political parties, also.

I find it hard to ignore the text as my eyes always seem to want to gravitate towards it, so prefer to turn it off so I'm more focused on the scene itself. So yeah, I usually turn em off.

Idk man I've seen mathematicians at my university shudder at applied math and they were kind of half joking and half not. Not all of the faculty were like that though, some of them had a wide range of interests! My favourite was a wonderful Polish professor named Edward who knew tons of things about not just math but also computer science, physics, and chemistry.

I worded things exactly as I meant them. They haven't been given a decision that doesn't involve a probably violent uprising, so they would have to make their own opportunity but authoritarians tend not to like that thus the deading oneself part of my comment. I think we agree ultimately.

As far as Palestinian's support for Hamas goes, I find that the whole story is honestly kind of nuanced the more I read. https://theconversation.com/hamas-was-unpopular-in-gaza-before-it-attacked-israel-surveys-showed-gazans-cared-more-about-fighting-poverty-than-armed-resistance-215640
