How much does that cost?

Most people I know hate it, but I absolutely love the feeling of a fly crawling on my arms or legs. It gives me this wonderful comfortable tingling sensation and I can’t get enough of it.

Yup, that’s me, too.

An interesting read, no doubt, but I still disagree with

Is this something we actually have to worry about?

Maybe.

The “threat” here would entail no negative emotions, no human (or other) suffering, just… nothing. Plus, it sounds like if the universe were indeed unstable/meta-stable, there’s nothing we could change about it anyway. So of all the things I can worry about, I feel this deserves the least amount of worry.

It’s a fascinating example of the psychology of (face) perception. I scanned the entire image several times with no success, but literally the second I decided to turn my phone around, Kanye jumped out at me.

I’m closing in on 40 and life satisfaction has been rising consistently over the past couple of years. I think the peak is still ahead.

I get almost all literature for my papers from libgen and scihub. I even have access to a lot or journals through my uni’s VPN, but it’s just much simpler and quicker to use the open seas.

My justification is that a) scientific journal publishers are evil and a scourge on humankind, and b) on average, I only need like 1% of the info in such literature, so I would never buy it anyway, which means that me pirating it doesn’t affect sales in any way.

See also: the Dead Sea Scrolls. That area is great for keeping stuff safe.

My wife and I have done several trips with our two kids (born 2018 and 2020) and have never checked in anything. It’s absolutely doable if you pack wisely.

I have no idea what this is about but I love the meme template.

Yes. (I’m a protestant Christian.)

I’ve never quite understood what binds the BRICS together other than some vague opposition to the West. These five countries are incredibly diverse, and adding more countries from three different continents isn’t gonna change that.

Just call the whole thing X.

I mean I live in Berlin…

I sing in an amateur choir led by a professional singer, and his voice is the purest, warmest, cleanest sound you can imagine. I melt every time he sings a solo or demonstrates part of a song to us.

…in a tank, or in a prison cell? Or in a café drinking ^polonium tea?

Love those books but aren’t they more like, 90s?

Of the ones I visit at least somewhat regularly, Twitter has always seemed the worst for me. Every thread (at least on political topics) is just a stream of toxicity and misinformation.

I use this userscript with Tampermonkey for a layout that’s closer to old.reddit. (Script not mine.)

I mean you could become famous for doing the first AMA on lemmy…
