Obviously it would be “do literally anything to die with a lot of money in an account”

Cats are tangential

That’s what the propaganda machine has been pushing.

And there was a strong push from the Russians.

How in the fuck.

Like what drives a majority of Americans to vote for a demented toddler. It’s insane.

As a kid I always wondered how on Earth did Hitler ever make anyone follow himself, how did those people not realise. Turns out a majority of people are just fucking morons.

I love how the statement receiving laughter from the crowd was a point in showing how it was political commentary.

Blind greed and incredible selfishness.

Basically you’re trying to reason madness.

THCA: The acidic form of THC, THCA, is particularly sensitive to heat. It can degrade into CBN and CBD at temperatures as low as 50°C (122°F).

TIL. TY.

Are you sure your oven is actually 120c?

It might be hotter and your cannabinoids are being vaporised?

Try making some hot cooca. No need to decarb, as the heat from making the cocoa does that. Also, it’s liquid and fat-based, so you’re gonna get all your cannabinoids nicely mixed in there.

The times I was the most high was when I made cocoa. Although I put in like 15x the amount I’d have smoked or something. Hash, bud, trim. (Hash I had made myself from my own plants.) I was young and the internet didn’t have as good of a cannabis culture back then.

I only drank half and I was blitzed for a solid two days.

capitalism <3

My sink is conveniently within reach. Can sit and shit and vomit.

Then if there’s hugs splashes clean it all up with the bidet shower.

General purpose silicones like silicone sealants and gaskets tend to have a high-temperature limit of around 200 C to 250 C and also lower temperatures of -50 C to -75 C.

So your dishwasher isn’t going to warp silicone, but lots of plastics, yeah.

First let me acknowledge I have zero idea how many dialects Japan has. I should learn more about it. The language in general, that is. And I am, but like in a passive YT short here, interesting article there sort of way.

Yeah colloquial use of language is different from official use, but the scale of the difference is rather larger here than in say, the US. I’m using the US as an example rather than the UK, because the UK is a lot closer in the sense that there’s a ton of accents and even dialects.

They have in general a lot of accents, but they mostly still use British English, but there are different dialects, such as Scottish English, Welsh English and Northern Irish English.

Just like with those dialects, some Finnish dialects incorporate Sweden, some Russian, some Norwegian, and from so long ago that my grandma for instance hadn’t the slightest clue that like a tenth of her vocabulary is more or less directly from Swedish, albeit it from probably hundreds of years ago.

Huh. Went into a dive there, ended up reading this article about chronemes, which both Finnish and Japanese feature heavily, but are less common in English. Never knew the term (and it’s not s common one) but it very well explains what I’ve alway felt is the hardest thing in learning Finnish to native English speakers.

Here’s about the Norwegian book language https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokmål

Because this discussion made me think of a short about the subject https://youtube.com/shorts/JaxprgJ17zg

Accents are really to do with pronunciation more than the words. Like a person speaking the King’s English with a heavy Russian accent is still using the same grammar and words.

Finnish has dialects.

Same thing with Nordics in general, even though Scandinavian languages aren’t related to us in the slightest. (They’re more like cousins of English.) The reason I mention it is that all Nordics pretty much use a concept called “book-languages”. It’s the standardised spelling and grammar. Dialects can vary quite a bit, to the extent that I might have more trouble understanding someone slightly drunk with a heavy dialect from the other side of Finland than I would understanding a light Scottish accent.

There’s also Finnic languages in general. Karelian is one. It’s to Finnish what the Scots language is to English.

But everyone understands the “book language”, although no-one really speaks it. Newsanchors, politicians, etc, arguably, but even they use a bit of informal expression from dialects sometimes.

But you don’t see news readers with heavy accents, unless it’s for comedy. My city used to have a news cast with a reader who had the strongest Turku dialect.

The differences are mostly tribal (Finland had “tribes” before the national movement), if you look back far enough. But yeah, geographic, really.

I’m only curious because something that draws me to the language is its “common sense” approach to pronunciation.

Ever looked at Finnish? I know a lot of people say of a lot of their own languages that “we say things like they’re written”, but we really do. There’s like one phone (linguistics term, not telephone) in the language. It’s the velar nasal that is in the word “language”, ironically. Other than that, purely phonetic. You can put any word in front of me and I’ll pronounce it the same way any other Finn would, where as in English, asking “how do you pronounce that” is common as hell.

Anyway, look at some of these examples:

A horse = hevonen [ˈheʋonen]

Peasoup = hernekeitto [ˈherneˌkːei̯tːo]

Come = tule! [ˈtuˌle]

Luckily with the magic of the internet, your imagination need not be an issue.

You can just see them!

Well, it really makes sense for these every specifically tuned biological machines to all function more or less the same way.

Everything we can glean from neurology pretty much says our perceptions are similar, we just process them differently.

Red is a shorter wavelength than blue. It would make no sense for the brain to interpret long wavelengths as short or short as long, which is probably why our colour perceptions are more or less the same.

Language affects our perception more than the biological hardware we have. The physical sensations are similar to everyone, but processing them is different. Which is why it could still be that your red isn’t my red. But my point is I don’t think it’d ever be blue or green in any context. It’d je different, perhaps, but not fundamentally so.

The ancient Greeks used to call the sky bronze. Related, there was this cool short the other day. Talked about how someone raised their kid normally other than carefully making sure never to say what colour the sky is, and then later inquiring about it. The girl had trouble at first, but calling it some mix of white and blue. The point in that was that kids learn colours somehow related to other objects. And the sky, as “an object”, is a very different category and was thus weird for her to assign a colour to.

Unrelated rant over

This might be silly to ask, but have you tried high CBD strains instead of “purely recreational” ones (which often have high THC and abysmally low CBD)?

CBD attenuates some effecs of THC. I very much doubt it would change the behaviour of THC completely for you, but there’s still a lot we need to learn about cannabis so, I wouldn’t say anything for certain.

Here’s a (trained electrical masters) putting metal in a microwave. I don’t remember if its this or another of his microwave videos in which he warms up the cardboard box and looks at it with a thermal camera.

Or maybe it was a veritasium microwave plasma video where they show it i can’t recall

Dude.

As a third-party to this conversation, I have to say that the dude writing “There is often a gap between common-use language, and the academic function of words (see “racism”). This is why I emphasized the relation of the definitions I provided to the fields of anthropology and sociology, as well as why I stated it is a use almost exclusively found, in my experiences, in academia.” seems a tad more credible than the one writing “I’m not superior just because I used a dictionary to quash the logical fallacy of your call to authority.”

I seriously think you just missed the nuance he was trying to emphasise, and you started mansplaining something he already implicitly had agreed on. Now you’re going for these rather immature “logical fallacy” arguments. Just a tip for that, btw, to up your game in that aspect. Naming fallacies to implicate that the other person is wrong is actually something called “the fallacy fallacy”, ie "because their logic contains a fallacy, the conclusion must be false. That in itself is a fallacy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy

So yeah. You’re not wrong, but you’re also not right in correcting him in any way, and he’s not wrong to say that he is right.

I do believe he’s an English teacher. Just use your imagination a bit and think of how many of the things your English teacher told you didn’t seem to make sense, but when you actually dug into the material, you got an “aaa this is what he meant” - moment.

You can, though.

Not as easily, but it has been quantified.

We know these things for pretty much certain. The only people who pretend “the science isn’t in” are the people who stand to gain when employees are exploited. So, ya know…

One of the mods is an actual Russian troll. Davel@lemmy.ml

Pro-Russian mod who keeps pretending they’re not.
