Great apes are closely related to humans BECAUSE humans are great apes. That idea is offensive to many religious zealots, so it’s not a fact often brought up in any conversation unless specifically prompted. This isn’t a logical fallacy you’ve uncovered, just a cultural bias and stigma. Of course a language model will also avoid the topic unless specifically prompted because it’s trained on people and articles that ALL do the very same philosophical dance and mental gymnastics to avoid inciting the ignorant zealots.

Calling anything bad weird seems a little judgemental for my taste. I like bad weird. Good weird is boring.

Ya basic.

Getting weirder and weirder is the only viable direction a Master of the Universe movie can go for success. Don’t you remember the last movie?

More like working class traitor.

You might eventually and with some great expense (even if you have a public defender, jail isn’t cheap for poor people), but you won’t beat the ride. They can and will destroy your life and livelihood with a trumped up charge for little more than knowing your rights. It doesn’t matter if the charge sticks, the injustice has been done and freedom has been trampled.

I’m always amazed how some people have no self awareness. They have no concerns for others. And yet if you acted like they did and it affected them they would be so pissed.

Like the person sneaking photos of people in public to ridicule them anonymously on the Internet?

What’s wrong with taking your shoes off before putting them up on the furniture? Seems the polite thing to do so you don’t get snow or mud or whatever other shit is on your shoes on the seat. It’s not like there is someone else using either of those seats opposite at the moment. Maybe you’re just feeling shame about your foot fetish? It’s okay to have a kink about feet, but non-consenting voyeurism is not okay.

I’m very pro real books and as a result was hesitant to jump on the ebook bandwagon. That all changed after finishing a particularly large book early during a long trip, lugging those damn dead trees around the country for a while and unable to find anything worthwile to read in along the way. Now with my ebook any book and every book on my “to read” list taking up the same space, same weight, and I don’t worry about damaging them because the ebook is waterproof with a rugged cover.

I still buy hard to find and out of print books at used book stores, but those stay home and get gifted to special people when I’m done.

So you’re looking for validation, not an honest discussion. This whole thing just got more weird. You’re weird.

So we’re not getting hand milked by 40 cows while getting figged by 3 cherubs.

It’s shorter than saying zero and it’s only ever used where context makes the it obviously not the letter. Also, almost all of the other digits are single syllables too. Seven is arguably (I’m no linguist) the only other multi-syllable digit and I think it gets a pass because it’s barely more than a single syllable unless you emphasize it.

I don’t understand banning sex toys from supermarkets. Every supermarket has sex toys. To say they don’t is just naivety. Banning masturbation aids from stores that aren’t adults only is only a ban on safe toys. Easy and shame free access to safe toys and prophylactics is a matter of public safety and harm reduction. Restricting those things by law to adults only stores, online, and private parties is cruel and causes harm. The Texas law isn’t much different, just dipping a toe in the waters of harmful oppression.

Sex toys and their packaging aren’t always inherently obscene or explicit. Y’all can stop clutching your pearls, the kids will be alright.

YYYY-MM-DD is the only non-mental way to write either.

I was only answering your question about why programming a way to parse those common date formats is problematic.

The date is 12/11/2024. Am I talking about yesterday or a day about a month ago?

Rude.

I was going to say something snarky too, but this is the only sane take here. Nothing more needs to be said.

Ok, not to many other comments, still though.

Bro, if you didn’t want people to respond with genuine takes on what you post and if you’re going to be so defensive, why are you even here?

Also, I’m not defending anything. DST should be the standard time because we spend most of the year in it anyway. But that’s just my own opinion, which I feel no need to defend to you or anyone else.

You’re so wound up about making your point and defending your point of view that you’re not actually comprehending my comments. It’s your map in the sense that you are presenting it to us, who authored it isn’t really relevant to this discussion.

Just pointing out the ridiculousness of getting petty and insulting about the way other people define time scales because you don’t agree. There is no objective truth here, just subjective opinions. ALL of those opinions and methods have flaws, especially your beloved “everyone should just use UTC”. There is no such thing as “correct” here, so putting that word in your map’s title and using “right” and “wrong” in this discussion is just naive.

We spend most of our year in daylight savings time. Standard time is the pretendy-magic-time.

This map really brings home how awful this projection is for this map’s purpose and how awful most projections really are near the poles. Greenland isn’t that big. I know this map is Plate Carree, not Mercator, but the size issue of an equirectangular projection is really similar when comparing longitude and size for the entire globe from pole to equator. 15 degrees of longitude for a timezone stops making sense that close to the poles. Greenland would mostly fit in the central time zone of the United States for example. Given its sparse population, dividing it up into 3 timezones seems unnecessary.
