What happens when the depth of the hole exceeds the height of the knees

Okay, so we should be distrustful of pizzacake in general because her work is popular and relevant to a country she lives 75 miles away from. And this is not fallacious.

But when it comes to literal self proclaimed white supremacists who makes comics where the punchline is “n____”, we have to give each and every argument they make the benefit of the doubt because ultimately someone’s credibility in general cannot ever be used to judge their stance on individual topics?

Edit: so bro posts open and self admitted nazi propaganda and instantly blocks anyone who thinks that isn’t totally irrelevant. Curious

what the fuck do they have left?

Lots of things! Wellness farms, military readiness camps, factory labor. The possibilities are endless!

Save tonight?

The normal people you speak of for the most part are pretty much also just trapped in that very feedback loop. Lots of folks feel very intense pressure to conform to ‘normality’. Comes across in everything they do, watch, listen to, wear, and so on.

Rejection is just that powerful, and people contort themselves to avoid it. Funny thing tho, being your authentic self and thriving in it is actually a form of rejection as well; you’re rejecting their concept of normality. You’re quietly saying that the lengths they go to fit in, the sacrifices they make, are all for nothing.

This is how you give birth to “haters”. People who have no leverage over you via simple disinterest or rejection, so they have to actively try to drag you down to the appropriate “normal” level of misery with them.

However! This is also how you find other genuine, amazing people who make the hours fly by just by sharing their love of the world with you.

I say all this because it can be very intense to encounter your haters. But they’re not who you’re looking for. So it’s very much worth maintaining your excitement for pine cone sculptures or whatever. Everything that brings you joy in this life is gonna motivate some people to want to bring you down. Just respectfully disengage, and keep your beautiful energy intact for the next person

Two units if you consider the absolute unit performing the lift!

Yeah, she’s testing the weight to make sure it really is heavy and not a prop. Feeling it for herself, she then congratulates the lifter

It harkens back to very old strongman shows. Often they would have guest come up to try a weight (or pass the implement around the audience if possible, such as a metal rod they would later bend or a hot water bottle they would later inflate)

It’s actually kind of a current issue with powerlifting as a spectator sport as well. You can tell lifters are struggling and it’s very exciting when they fail a lift and 5 people need to step in to bail them out. But “300kg” is just a number to most people, it’s hard to really convey to onlookers what an insane amount of weight that actually is to have on your back at all, never mind to squat with

Gotcha, yeah just giving context on why people are seeing that number and thinking it’s really small. If you look at the lifetime graph from the same source it paints a very dramatic drop-off compared to other sources, like steamdb

The article kind of touches on something that is very important to understand about that figure, but misses some key details

First of all, that census is unofficial. They gather metrics based on publicly available achievement data.

However, they changed the default status of player’s achievements in 7.0. It used to be public by default, now it is private by default

The game definitely experienced a sharper drop off in players than during Endwalker, don’t get me wrong. Dawntrail itself is pretty messy, and to be honest another major factor is that everyone just played the game nonstop during covid and got burnt out all at the same time lol.

But the Lucky Bancho numbers have always been weird. We simply don’t have access to the real numbers, just different methods of estimating the trend line

The explanation makes a lot more sense if you already understand what is being explained

It’s hard to believe Skyrim is already 19 years old

Regardless of the fact that work has ground to a halt the CEO will continue to claim productivity has never been higher since implementing AI

The post is good! I like the post! Thank you for posting :3

I just like to shill for resistance training, it transforms people’s lives. Posts like these are a great opportunity for me to do so, where it’s mentioned offhandedly and maybe with a misconception I can talk about

I’ve had several people on fedi reach out to say these comments have helped them out in some way, so it’s just something I like to keep up with :3

Yeah :3 Just based on teaching people to do various chest exercises, wrist pain is usually caused by holding the implement too far up the hand, creating a moment arm that bends your wrist open. Around 150-200lbs is usually when people stop being able to tolerate such a grip

If you search this page for “bench grip” it will take you to an image of three hands, the rightmost of which has a red line and a green line. Best image I’ve ever found for communicating the spot. If you get it down you should feel no discomfort at all in your wrists

Haiiii hii hii just want to pop in with a couple fun facts,

There’s no serious risk of damaging your joints from lifting, actually it’s the opposite. Resistance training will reduce the likelihood of injury throughout all stages of life.

There also isn’t really any hint of truth to the old myth “muscle growth is the result of damaging the muscles so they grow back bigger”. It stems from very early misinterpretations of experimental data and became something people just repeat forever with no factual basis.

Catabolism (breakdown of muscle) occurs all the time, and is usually balanced by anabolism (building muscle). It would be more accurate to say that “sufficiently challenging bouts of resistance training stimulate greater rates of anabolism for a period of time which result in a net gain of muscle mass”

Many common factors can tip the scale towards catabolism which is very bad for your health and quality of life (sarcopenia, menopause, HRT in some cases) and training is the best most consistent lever we can pull to mitigate those negatives. Women especially reap massive benefits from training, doubly so after midlife

I almost never encounter it anymore because I habitually just open a new tab for everything. A habit I started doing because encountering it made me so angry I almost swore off computers altogether

Super niche adjacent rage but shoutout to max-for-live developers who implement their Ableton plugins as a series of user actions so that the instant you touch the plugin it detonates your entire undo history

Thank you! It is a privilege and a joy to have made such a remarkable improvement to your life!

Sadly the sum of all natural numbers is not actually -1/12. It’s a divergent sum. You could call it infinity.

There’s a little parlor trick that maths teachers like to perform where they do algebraic manipulation on a simple formula, eventually cancelling out the variables and arriving at some absurd statement like 1=2. The game is for the students to figure out what went wrong.

The trick is always that at some point, snuck into the progression, you ended up dividing something by “(X-X)” before moving on, seemingly without violating any algebraic rules. Very astute students (or ones who were warned by students from earlier classes haha) will notice that right at that point in time, you are in fact attempting to divide by zero, which is not possible.

So the reason you ended up with 1=2 is because you applied rules to something which they definitionally cannot apply to. At that point, the equation became undefined.

…the funny thing though, is you were able to just…continue. And get something to come out. Now, in this case, that thing was utter nonsense. An amusement for children to help teach them of various pitfalls they might fall into when playing with numbers.

But what if you were one of the most brilliant mathematicians who ever lived, and you were concerning yourself with questions such as,

“What would happen if I took [1 + 2 + 3 + 4+ 5….], and subtracted [1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5…]”

Now, those are both divergent sums. So we could just call them both infinity. But the second infinity just kind of…feels smaller, doesn’t it? It feels like you should be able to just…perform some type of operation and get…something to come out.

It wouldn’t be “correct” to do so, but this is basically what Ramanujan did. Illegal math. With a nonsense output of negative -1/12.

The funny thing though is that this “nonsense output” is actually now a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. It turns out we subtract diverging infinites from each other literally all the time, even just by walking around, and that pesky little -1/12 trick has proven to be consistently useful. Astonishing.

He died a preventable death at 32. Imagine what the world might have looked like today if only he could have dreamed a little longer, asked more impossible questions, and broken more rules. Specifically he died after a bout of dysentery, in case anyone is confused why they’re reading all this in the shit posting community

Just to save the next person the trouble,

It was introduced in 2009. Inflation calculator says that $0.89 in 2009 is the equivalent of…$1.34 in today’s money.

Wow.

I’d be curious to see the whole price history but yeah. Can’t believe how bad a deal all the fast food places have become
