more like chimps are monkeys in the same way that whales are mammals
so, frequently people will conflate monkeys and apes, and use the terms interchangably (that’s the left end of the graph), people with a bit more knowledge may be aware of the common definition that monkeys have tails while apes do not (that’s the middle part), while those with more knowledge of biological taxonomy argue that, since new world monkeys and old world monkeys share a more distant common ancestor than old world monkeys and apes, if we want to define a term ‘monkey’ that encompasses both new and old world monkeys, it would have to also include all apes (including humans). so, according to the right side of the graph people, chimpanzees are apes are monkeys (though lots of monkeys are not apes, it’s a squares and rectangles kinda thing).
i definitely watched it when i was a youngun, but i’m always surprised to hear it’s still running tbh
words do area-of-effect damage, friend.
if you use the r-slur around me, even if its not directed at me, it hurts, and it makes me feel less safe with you, because of the way that word has been used to specifically target me for hatred based on my neurotype. plus there’s the fact that you acknowledge it to be a mean word for disabled people, and if you’re using it as a weapon against non-disabled people, you’re really saying ‘haha, you’re like those disabled people, and that’s terrible.’ i hope you can see how this probably doesn’t feel so good to a lot of us?
well, whether by bow or by vat of acid, i’d probably choose to spare my friend over some random celebrity. though i’d naturally rather not kill either of them.
is this like a joker dilemma where they’re both dangling over vats of acid and i only have time to save one?
is this new on iphone? as far as i knew, that’s been a thing for most videos for ages on android, excepting only most music videos.
probably ant man, as well as any film that prominantly features ant man as a character. the sci-fi nonsense justification of his powers is just way too stupid for me, and it taints everything it touches.
Unfortunately for us, they have the same vote we do
gosh i wish that were more true. given the equal representation of states in the senate, and the subsequent higher weighting of low-population states in the electoral college, the vote of a californian is worth a lot less than the vote of a wyomingian. and someone in washington D.C. has even less say. it’s a pretty fucked up pseudo-democracy, tbh.
T2 is definitely the best terminator film, but you’re missing out if you discount all the sequels. Dark Fate at least is pretty darn good, and it’s basically a direct sequel to T2, so you don’t have to watch all the films in between.
i like my laptop cause i already have it, and have gotten to know it quite well over the past 16 years, but i wouldn’t recommend it. it would be nice to have more than 4gb of memory these days, cause i can’t have too many tabs open on firefox without it bogging down.
just a historical factoid that a lot of people don’t realize: the luddites weren’t anti technology without reason. they were apprehensive about new technology that threatened their livelihoods, technology that threatened them with starvation and destitution in the pursuit of profit. i think the comparison with opposition to AI is pretty apt, in many cases, honestly.
my first os was windows 95, but my first linux distro must’ve been whatever version of ubuntu was current around 2007/2008.
right now, job hunting, but as soon as i can stop job hunting, my answer will change to working.
trying to start any kind of art as an adult sucks because inevitably by that point, you’ve got a fair head start on your art appreciation skill, which makes you perceive your initial attempts at art creation as particularly heinous. if you start as a kid, you’re less capable of recognizing how bad you are, and you aren’t having to compare yourself against peers who’ve got twenty years of experience on you.
why dost thou speakest in riddles, fair traveler?
i may or may not have a tanksona, but that doesn’t make me a tankie.
even if they were breaking tos (and i don’t think it sounds quite so cut and dry), shouldn’t the response be to notify them and allow them to fix it, or just terminate the account? demanding a ton of money to make the problem seems a skeevy way of handling it on cloudflare’s part.
but by that point, whoever the inheritors of the account were have probably been paying money and adding new games to it for decades. why would valve destroy their relationship with that customer just because they might still technically have access to some hundred year old games that either don’t even run on modern systems, or might even be public domain by that point?
