I’m genuinely trying to renaturalize to Germany eventually and all I need is to learn German, so this ended up being a happy accident

Jesus a chastity cage would’ve actually probably helped you

I had a vch piercing and men still couldn’t find my clit

Yeah I’d spend hours trying to cum with a vibrator, and my clit would go numb before I came sometimes. If I did cum, it was the weakest most unsatisfying orgasm

Same. Couldn’t even enjoy orgasms.

I think those last 2 paragraphs are due to people approximating math that would otherwise be quite complex to calculate, or making models that are approximations due to widespread available technology. Just because I don’t turn if I cross over Mt Everest, does not mean that is the fastest route by foot.

I’m not saying to not use these approximations.

I really recommend the book “Where Mathematics Comes From,” to really think deeply about what math is to us as an animal. Even other animals can do some rudimentary math, and arguably athletes are doing math innately as they perform their sports. Birds and dolphins do physics and calculus. Sort of. In this view, what we teach as math to each other as humans is essentially a language describing these phenomenon and how they work together. Calling this approximation a “straight line” in this language sense isn’t very accurate and it’s what’s causing the debate.

Thank you for the informative answer

What is the slope of a straight line, a linear function? Now what is the slope of a nonlinear function, aka a curved line?

A geodesic would only be accurately labeled a “straight line” IF it was on a plane. On a curved or uneven surface it’s a nonlinear function.

https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Geodesic.html#:~:text=A geodesic is a locally,circles (like the equator).

Yes I think they mean it’s a continuous line, not a “straight” line. As in the line is uninterrupted (continuous). It’s also possible they mean the line qualifies as a nonlinear function since it also doesn’t double back over itself (A function is a relationship where each input value (X) will create only one output value (Y)).

Math is hard. Describing lines like this is math - calculus actually due to the curve, and actually not just basic calculus but vector calculus because it involves an x,y, and z axis. Most laypeople will struggle to describe a line with the correct jargon.

It used to not matter that much to me, as long as they were basically normal intelligence or higher. But I have found that men do not really like dating women who are much smarter than them. And the conversation tends to be more interesting with smarter men. So I hold out for men who are pretty intelligent.

With women, it’s never factored negatively into our relationship so any intelligence level in women would be fine, at approximately normal intelligence or above. And same for nonbinary/agender people too.

It’s literally just an easy way to search ages. Stepsiblings means you want 2 actors who are younger. Mom/dad specifies older. Etc. It’s more to do with how searches catalogs and mixes terms like “older man, younger woman,” which pulls up often the same results as “younger man, older woman.”

Lol

It’s because reddit had a rightwing mod takeover and they really do favor the bullies… like look at all the nazi stuff/subs there. Reddit is compromised

I have taken a variety of science classes, especially in biology but also in chemistry, engineering, and physics, at undergrad and masters level at multiple decent universities.

No, it won’t take a couple of centuries to happen, you misread. The collapse will most likely happen before 2050 according to new research which speeds up the timeline on the old research. The various environmental fields do actually agree on this and it’s accepted.

The impacts of an AMOC collapse would leave parts of the world unrecognizable.

In the decades after a collapse, Arctic ice would start creeping south, and after 100 years, would extend all the way down to the southern coast of England. Europe’s average temperature would plunge, as would North America’s – including parts of the US. The Amazon rainforest would see a complete reversal in its seasons; the current dry season would become the rainy months, and vice versa.

That means the collapse will happen, with immediate consequences as well as consequences that won’t stabilize for over 100 years, not taking into account other destabilizing forces. Like can you read?

That’s wikipedia though, not a scientific article, and it acknowledges that many think it will happen sooner.

Here’s an article from CNN that is hours old, based on a new study, which is confident AMOC collapse will happen by 2037-2050 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/08/02/climate/atlantic-circulation-collapse-timing

That’s pretty soon.

Maybe in 10 years that won’t be true.

Why don’t you? If there was a 98% chance your car could explode if you went 30mph-80mph, would you be cautious about going 29mph? Wouldn’t you not get close to the lower reference range?

Because that lower reference range is still the reference range. 2025 is still the lower end of the reference range for AMOC collapse, which we expect to have cascading consequences including possible earthquakes and volcanoes.

And honestly, attitudes like yours are exactly what convinced me we were going to die tbh. The people who dissociate and refuse to acknowledge any kind of negative reality because they don’t enjoy the biochemical state of being upset. The pandemic, the election - people like you who gaslight about what we can literally see in front of our faces - I get it. You refuse to accept there’s a problem so we all will die for it. Cool. I already know. You don’t have to keep trying to convince me you all are in severe denial. I won’t join you.

They don’t know what’s causing that anomaly. So it could indeed be a trend.
