Oh that’s true. I’ve seen a lot of cancel/call-out documents archived on IA, some of which were directed at children or had false accusations on them. It would be funny but not that surprising if all of this was over obscure Twitter drama.
It is, of course, a tragic and beautiful poem on its own, but another thing I find interesting is that it’s been translated into a ton of languages, so if you speak another language, you can see for yourself how translation changes a work: https://ifimustdie.net/
The Malay version rhymes, for some reason. And there are quite a few small changes in meaning: the line “bringing back love” is changed to “bringing back a love that had left”, presumably for the rhyme to work.
I looked it up, it’s when remote workers go on vacations without telling anyone.

He could have set it up at the start of the class using information from past years.
The “near death experience” heading being messier supports this. I imagine this was the first time that happened, so he added that in the middle of class.
That’s not what the campaign is saying. The statues are just being used as a visually striking metaphor for sexual harassment. It’s cheaper and more effective to put some placards on a statue that people are obviously paying attention to, vs spending the time to design posters that nobody will look at.
Why would knowing about taxes a few years earlier make you rebellious?
The trees on the right have artefacts on the lit parts. The sky has these nonsensical white lines that you would usually associate with the underside of clouds, except they’re not attached to any clouds. The pink fluffy clouds on the right overlap each other in weird ways.
And I think what made me immediately think AI on a first look is the strange colours. The top half uses a very warm, low-contrast palette but then you get to the bottom and suddenly there’s tons of green and blue. Not to shit on OP but it’s a very “beginning artist” choice for a work that is clearly not made by a beginning painter.
If you join any big writing community (the Reddit one most obviously) you’ll be stunned at the number of “How do I write [opposite sex]?” posts. Most of them are from men but there are a surprising amount of women making those posts too.
Did not get that impression at all. To me it seems like basically the same thing as the “What have you done, Billy?” and “dumbest man alive” memes. Something relatably annoying followed by a hyperbolic “haha if only” response.
A bias I’ve noticed on a lot of social media is that a lot of people tend to assume video games are either 0 importance or heavy importance in people’s lives. Like if he gave up his console, it must mean that he sacrificed his dearest hobby for her and that’s why it’s bad. In reality it’s just as likely it was something he used a couple times a month and gave up for something more important.
Where does that “the eyes of a psychopathic killer” diagram on the right come from?
Energy in gen Z context means vibe.
This guy has never spoken to a gym rat or eboy LMAO. Lots of straight men love masculinity, love maintaining and enhancing their bodies, love their “corporeal existence” as he puts it.
For me a big thing is that because Lemmy is so small, it’s not diverse. It’s mostly liberal-to-leftist nerds from America and Western Europe. I roll my eyes and scroll past whenever there’s a post about any Asian country because you know it’s just gonna be a bunch of foreigners (whose exposure to the country is limited to news headlines) pretending they know anything. And unlike Reddit there are seldom any locals available to set people straight.
No, it was mostly racism. Singapore is mostly Chinese, as I’m sure you’re well aware, whereas Malaysia is (obviously) mostly Malays and has several inbuilt benefits to give them advantages in life. A lot of Malaysian Malays were not happy about Singapore having equal racial rights, because they believed that Malays should have special benefits. This and general racial tensions led to hundreds of deaths in racial riots. The decision to separate was heavily influenced by the desire to avoid more racial violence.
I hated this Reddit trend of learning one (1) fact about a country and then linking it to literally every post or comment mentioning the country in any capacity. I really hope it doesn’t carry on to Lemmy. Countries are a lot more nuanced than that.
I usually don’t give a fuck about ads, but they’ve gotten increasingly annoying lately. Used to be that the popular websites were classier and less intrusive with their ads, that’s why they were popular. Now the biggest websites (most obviously YouTube) are the ones with the craziest most intrusive ads.
Python. It’s the only one I know :(
I’ve been trying to learn C# too but object-oriented programming just slides right off my smooth brain lol.
I love the way their coats are drawn. They look so fluffy.
