Twice I got my face plastered on the flyers of a conference because none of the other speakers looked Mexican enough. I still don’t know if I should have been offended.

Sometimes I conjure up the delusion that having a big feline is doable if raised from birth because my little feline is such an adorable baby that she shows her belly to literally everyone she sees even when she’s never met them. But even this cute ball of fluff will dig her claws into my leg to avoid falling when she rolls over while napping on my lap. Imagine if those claws were 4 cm.
What if I don’t wanna get shipped to El Salvador for throwing up gang signs?
Yep. Just read it again. You’re absolutely correct.
What? No, the image explicitly says f is a meme.
Let M and f be as in the hypotheses of the meme.
Since f is a meme, then f∈M. That means f can be applied to itself. It follows that (f, f(f))∈f. We have then:
f ∈ {f, {f, f(f)}} = (f, f(f)) ∈ f
Thus, f∈f, violating the Axiom of Regularity. We conclude the meme is mathematical bullshit and I will not have it.

2·16 days agoMost people don’t treat sports like that, though. Even those who do, know to shut up about their stats when talking about their sport with someone who isn’t that into it. You don’t say “oh, I went golfing with some friends last week” and immediately hear “I can score an 85” because that’d be obnoxious. I know there’s always been people like that but it honestly feels like “competitive” play has become the norm and it didn’t use to be like that.

41·16 days agoThe current landscape of gaming is so foreign to me. Gaming for me has always been an experience to get lost in a fantasy world — something akin to reading. Nowadays everyone seems obsessed with the online and competitive sides of it. It feels like you can’t have a conversation about videogames without someone bringing up Fortnite and the new skins they unlocked by treating it as a job.

12·21 days agoI love when professors send you a list of sites you should stay away from lest you’ll get an illegitimate copy of the textbook. I love it even more when professors just don’t care about the optics and straight up email the whole class a link to libgen. But there was one professor at my uni that outdid all of them. He just took it upon himself to write a textbook for every course on the entire math curriculum and sold them for like $3-5 depending on the size of the book.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Social Pain (rejection) and physical pain overlap parts of the same neural pain pathway, and acetaminophen (paracetamol) alleviate social pain. Proof of social pain hurts as much as physical painEnglish
2·25 days agoI once saw an episode of a TV show on exactly this topic. The way they simulated social pain was by telling three people they were playing a game of catch together on a computer but, in reality, each person had its own game with 2 NPCs that would eventually just leave the player out and start throwing the ball among themselves and I just think that’s so mean but kinda funny.

Oh, shit. I left out hugely important context. This happened in Mexico so it’s probably neither of those.
