I was referring to Linux nerds, piracy anarchists, privacy/foss fanatics, etc. All of which are great, but may scare off new users.
Tankies are definitely a bit of a problem, although they usually stick to their own instances. Luckily I haven’t encountered much if any racism on here. Where are you seeing it?
I think there are more “intense” people here (in a good way), but reddit can more aggressive and negative in general on the big subreddits.
Hexagons are really not better than triangles.
I kinda do agree with out on fractal geometry though, (although you’re gonna see a lot of tiny triangle shapes). And also for certain applications, things like catenary curves are ideal.
I don’t think 90 degree surfaces are going anywhere though. Having angled walls would be less space efficient, and angled floors would be a safety hazard. And cubes/rectangles are by far the easiest, most compatible shapes to efficiently design with. Although in your hypothetical future I guess we can just use the biocomputer superintelligence to design everything.
cgp grey is overrated and so are hexagons.
Hexagons are the tesselation of the densest circle packing, but other than that, they aren’t really exceptional in any way.
There’s a reason we use triangles for structural trusses, and rectangles for everything else. In fact, hexagons mostly just show up as a byproduct of how things are made, which is true for chicken wire as well as honeycomb.
Hey I saw your other post, and I think this was a good place to post this. Anyway this is my response:
Here’s a bit of a harsh truth. Most of the advice you’re responding to can’t work if you’re alone. It’s very hard to enjoy hobbies or make progress in therapy if your needs aren’t being met. (although if you have access, I would recommended medication for anxiety if that’s a problem for you. But medication won’t cure depression or trauma, it’s impossible if you don’t have support)
It’s really hard and really scary, but I think you should try to find people you connect with.
I promise you, there ARE people out there who are genuinely good, who will care about you and accept you for who you are, even if it doesn’t line up with the world’s expectations.
Look for others who don’t fit in with society. They tend to be the most interesting, the most genuine, and the least judgemental.
And give yourself some credit for surviving what you have, but realize that there’s a chance your life could be better in the future, and it’s worth it to keep trying, even if it’s the hardest thing you ever do.
You seem a little riled up.
For the record, I think framerate has nothing to do with the quality of a film. Art direction, script, and performance are what matters.
I stand by me previous comment though, not sure what gives you the wrong impression?
I think that’s mostly just because you’re not used to it.
Also 60 and 48 fps are a bit of an odd middle ground. I’d be interested to see a 240fps film. (also I bet it would make 3D look way better)
I think that’s a separate issue, and it was often dark and low contrast.
Personally, I like they/them better. It’s already been used for persons of unknown gender for a long time, and using it as explicitly non gendered is really seamless.
Wheras neopronouns can feel very attention calling and othering. Then there’s the issue that most of them sound gendered anyway, (‘zhir’ sounds a lot more like ‘her’ than ‘him’)
I do agree about the need for more nb representation, though.
