I didn’t either, but then I started being shocked by some positions I saw randomly on Lemmy that I never did on Reddit, and then I understood the pattern. I had no idea what a tankie was before coming to Lemmy.

The explanation you got is fairly positive. The negative side (depending on your own compass) is that they have the reputation to host a lot (majority ?) of tankies, which creates tensions, with people who defend democracy for exemple. See this definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie You likely ended up on the lemmy.ml because it’s one of the major instances and it is administrated by the core developers of Lemmy, which themselves are openly defending things related to the article above.

Just so I know if my time will be well used to redact an answer, what’s your affinity with lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad?

Living conditions have improved for the majority but the current leader (13 years) has increased autocracy, further reduced freedoms, continued oppressing Uyghurs and Hong Kong and increased the threat on Taiwan.

I couldn’t find any reliable source, but the most convincing idea I read was to reduce contrast and glare issues between the white chalk and its background. The green would reflect more light than the black, reducing the contrast and the glare. Also, the original blackboards were made of black slate, but then they became synthetic which made it easier to change the color.

Scarcisoft?

I wanted robots to do my chores but instead they are taking my job and my hobbies! Hopefully they become addicted to gaming and don’t to take my job anymore.

I’m using the froze and thaw technique to remove more water, but it’s still a hassle.

Why do you think this paper is more correct than the other? This paper seems to be locked on a single definition and says everything else is wrong because it does not follow this definition.

Personally, I find it very intellectually unsatisfying because you can have a individual with male gametes but with a female phenotype, and this definition says, this individual’s sex is without a doubt 100% male. It seems the main benefit is not questioning a historical definition, which fits well with conservative opinions. There’s clear evidence on many other subjects that this can slow down or block science (ex: tobacco, climate).

Consider some of those people are trying to do that for rational reasons and check the article as an example of such reasons.

I feel there’s some marketing conspiracy with the “office” term. It looks like they have been planning to make it disappear because it is uncool for some new marketing genius or it reduces the target markets, I guess. So they first attached a new term, 365, as a transition, and now they dropped the office while keeping the 365 so recent users can still make the link.
The AI bubble was maybe just a convenient excuse to advance the plan.
Plus, since post-covid, return to office is very unpopular, how convenient!
The plot thickens.

Isn’t gamete also only one aspect of what constitutes the sex? What do you do of the sexual phenotype for example? See this article about a multimodal modelisation of sex. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.26.525769v1.full.pdf

Looks good!

EASY: This recipe has minimal ingredients and can be made in ~20 minutes!

I hate those ridiculous time indications. I always multiply them by 3 to have a resonable estimation.

Maybe a contradiction between the animal shape and the design requirements for the handle. If they had given the parrot a long neck, it would have looked like an overly stretched out parrot.

Makes sense, would have been fun if we had seen it at the same place.

Macaws are parrots.

Missing colors on the beak, could be a royal penguin too.

Naha?

Which country?

Everything else sounds right-winger when one is into authoritarian “left”.
