There’s a lot there in that video that I think will resonate with most people, myself included, but I nearly did not get past the philosophical problem of the speaker’s claims that HSPs somehow feel things deeper than others. As if people that are better equipped or trained to manage their emotions are somehow experiencing emotions on a shallower level. That line of logic reminds me way too much of the way colonizers would dehumanize indigenous peoples by claiming that the culture and language of those indigenous peoples were somehow less developed because of a difference in technological development. I know that they are very different situations. I’m just trying to draw abstract parallels to show why I find the language they used offensive.

Either way, that video left me wondering. Which would be more emotionally exhausting, being an HSP or accommodating one on a regular basis?

Was that supposed to be coherent or relevant? Are you lost?

If you’re going to be snarky about units, at least get the significant digits correct. The infographic gives 100°F as the temperature. If I had to guess I’d say that wherever that number came from, it’s precision is much less than a whole °F, but for simplicity let’s just say that the precision is a whole number, no decimal places in the precision. At that precision 37.5°C and 38°C are both also 100°F. There are 9/5 °F for every °C after all. If you’d said 37.7°C I wouldn’t have even commented. But that was one decimal place too far (and being too lazy to find the ° symbol or type out degrees).

You’re all probably saying, “Who cares? Why do you care? Aren’t you just being any even more annoying pedant?”

I do. I don’t know. Probably.

But, if you’re going to be a smartass, you better at least try to be smart about it.

Blue pizza just like aunt Beru used to make.

What are the odds that he lives in her house, maybe unemployed?

What a convincing argument. I didn’t realize you had the authority to just decide.

It’s an optical illusion. By definition their isn’t generally anything YOU would call erroneous about any optical illusion, I’d guess. The fact that the text is difficult bordering on impossible to read at some angles is the perceptual error. Stop ignoring obvious interpretations to support your pedantic trolling.

That’s an unhelpfully restrictive definition of illusion that is itself illusory. An illusion is also:

A sensation originated by some external object, but so modified as in any way to lead to an erroneous perception; as when the rolling of a wagon is mistaken for thunder.

The text is hidden or revealed through a change in perspective. That is the illusion.

Kink shaming is the real mental illness.

How many knife fights have you been in?

How is a zig-zag numbering any less valid than any other method? Your mapping a two dimensional space with what is essentially a line. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense for there to be discontinuities in the numbering, as one would have to do if the numbers always incremented in the same direction. Would you prefer that the numbers follow the path of a Hilbert Curve?

To answer your question though, surveyors have been using this method to number sections of land for much longer than you or I have been alive.

Knives suck as a defensive weapon though. I’d rather be robbed than be involved in a knife fight, even if I was the only one with a knife when that fight started. Carrying around a knife for defense if fucking crazy!

Yeah, I’ve also only ever heard that from racists too.

Whenever I’m forced to use windows, show file extensions and show hidden files.

Your privilege is showing if you seriously have never confronted the racist undertones of the white colonial idea of darkness. Just for a start “The Heart of Darkness”, the dark continent, the epithet “darky”. There’s so many more it’s often practically it’s got own college class devoted to the subject.

I’ve only ever heard boomers, racists, and idiots use the word “dark” to mean “unknown” or call it the “dark” side when they meant “far” side.

And it doesn’t even have the decency to stay in the same place. According to this guy’s estimate you’d have to move across the surface at about 9.5 miles or 15.3 kilometers per hour to stay in the Dark Side at the equator.

No, not against just him, against the entire party supporting him.

Because vector graphics take up much less space. That’s the joke.

Now I’m going to put the joke out of it’s misery.

Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I’ve ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it’s not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.
