Sometimes a misphrased question reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the domain that needs to be addressed before any meaningful conversation can even begin. Sometimes it's a verbal typo.

Would I rather be rude or risk being misunderstood?

I wish to be blessed by neither quick wit nor quick stupidity

Kinda a shame that guns, mortars, bows , etc are impossible to ban. The aesthetics of melee warfare is so much better.

Ranged assassination are lame. Commanders should be on the frontlines in royal battle dress. VIPs should be able to meet anyone up to 10 ft away without worrying about getting shot.

We deserve lifesized battlebot mechas tactically ramming each other instead of tanks just firing salvos.

Wisdom is hindsight about the present?

There's a likeness between hindsight and wisdom.

People are wiser about their past, they realize what's relevant and what wasn't such a big deal after all.

(I'm people)

People are too eager to call themselves a shape rotator when they can't even rotate their feet in a waltz.

Put down the children's toy cubes and start rotating your hip joint through it's full range of motion

People can't explain things they already know. I don't know anything, so I can explain everything I think.

The idea of Buddhist festivals is funny. "On this day we make paper lotus lanterns".

Lost track of the plot

I hope phones bring back Aux ports

@niplav Surely the lack of transitivity is no bother! Else by induction all numbers end up close to one another..

For me the unfortunate asymmetry is what gets my goat, unless it involves from some weird NaN float

@aeonofdiscord Americans will fight against the imperial metric system at every opportunity

@niplav Fun to checkin what https://www.lipstickalley.com/ has to say sometimes

Tough call, but imo net negative to allow automatic cross posting from twitter

It adds content, allows twotter users to gradually move, but at the expense of making this place a bottom feeder ecosystem, feeding from the trails left through Twitter.

Sad to follow an account, interact a little and realize it's a ghostly after image

@niplav scaling down reading is an wise gambit. Reading is the best source of ideas. So much so that it supplants doing.

@panchromaticity one reason is that they bundle all the image assets together. So for any icon there's five or six copies for all the permutations of pixel densities and high resolution settings.

I also like that this post evokes a meaning of taste. In movies, in food, in life

everyone's a deconstructionist until it's time for something they care about
