I don’t want to ruin your fun but some of us have feet that aren’t ticklish in the slightest.

Highly recommend it, Tina Fey is an icon. Just beware that you’ll be quoting her character more often than you’ll notice yourself.

Are you always this angry? Doesn’t it get exhausting?

Does that include sleeping consistently at least 8 hours a night for at least a few weeks straight? In my experience, sleeping long after not getting enough sleep makes you feel even more tired the first few days.

How much sleep do you get? I’ve found that getting 8 hours of sleep and then getting up immediately when the alarm rings is the best way for me to get started in the day; waiting too long with getting up, getting dressed, or getting started just makes me more drowsy and adds mental inertia.

Naturally we’re all individuals, so what works for me may not be right for someone else.

Starcraft was also supposed to be a Warhammer 40k game iirc.

How do you make it work? I’ve been in a few but after a while the heartache from missing them gets unbearable.

If you encounter a black bear, make yourself big and threatening. If attacked, fight back.

If you encounter a brown bear, stay facing it but avoid eye contact and back away slowly. If attacked, play dead.

If you encounter a polar bear, pray for a quick death.

Excuse you. If they get Fisto wrong I will riot.

I think part of it is a fundamental weakness in the Swedish judicial system where you need clear perpetrators and clear victims, meaning that if you have a group of people committing a crime and you can’t prove that they intentionally cooperated to commit the criminal act or who did exactly what, they may go free (exhibit A). The same goes if you can prove the crime but not the victims (exhibit B).

Of course the bar is higher when it comes to the police, they will pull out all the stops to prevent one of their own getting investigated, but this issue runs even deeper.

Silvio Berlusconi, former prime minister of Italy.

But it isn’t exactly the same, not when you’re one of the groups that loses their rights under republican control.

I think the exact opposite, ML is good for automating away the trivial, repetitive tasks that take time away from development but they have a harder time with making a coherent, maintainable architecture of interconnected modules.

It is also good for data analysis, for example when the dynamics of a system are complex but you have a lot of data. In that context, the algorithm doesn’t have to infer a model that matches reality completely, just one that is close enough for the region of interest.

What? Torque tells you what force can be applied at what distance from the center of rotation. Acceleration is a function of mass and force. Of course more torque is going to get you to accelerate faster.

Yes, in the US. The commenter above was talking about more than just one country.

Who was shitting on men with emotions? I haven’t seen that at all.

wanting an emotionally supportive partner isn’t the same as treating them like a therapist

We agree on that, you can do one without doing the other.

Who said anything about that? You can share your emotions with your partner in a way where you don’t expect them to be your personal therapist. Generally, it’s healthy to have a support network, preferably not just one person and especially not just one person who isn’t even a professional.

When you share your feelings with a therapist, that exchange is in one direction, you should never have to emotionally support your therapist. That is however not how it should be with a partner, in a romantic relationship both people should be able to share their emotions and receive support, and that isn’t possible if one person is treating the other as if they were a therapist and not giving them the space to share their emotions in turn.

Most things in life are about balance, just because you don’t agree with something all the way one side (e.g. there is no way to create an unhealthy relationship dynamic by sharing your emotions, regardless of how you do it) doesn’t mean that you agree with something all the way to the other side (i.e. you shouldn’t give two shits about your partner’s emotional well-being).

Expecting your partner to be your personal therapist is not cool but it’s also not necessarily narcissism.

Honest question: Why? Muscles aren’t hard when they’re relaxed, a muscular person would still be soft and cuddly if they’re not flexing.
