We all got our own shit and the world would be a better place if people could just not be assholes to each other about the little things

If only everyone would get that. Thanks!

I think giving any terms create a divide (someone in rainbow club, and someone not). If everyone is in the club, then why even call it a club, that is like whole earth. I generally would prefer if we move away from any terms at all, and just stop asking about gender and sex

I played super tux kart (or any kind of cart racing game for that matter) and had a great time

hey jubliant, do you remember me? Greetings! How are you doing? (In case you do not, we had personal chat)

I consider the identity obsession of Gen Z to be mostly narcissistic self-regard. It reflects our society’s rampant individualism, where kids have become a lifestyle choice and pampered like fragile consumer objects. I don’t have any answers about how to fix any of this. Indeed I’m something of an individualist myself.

this seems a bit to harsh. As I see, most people are overly stimulated, this just makes them react a bit more visibly. This is also because of social media. Some news from other side of globe that you may have never got earlier, or weeks later, you now get that in minutes, and similarly, the friction to post is also very low, so most people feel like “raising voice”. Though I do not treat raising voices online to be equivalent to in person voice raising but that is a separate discussion. Maybe individualism is on a rise, because our lives now do not depend much on other people (it still does, now you just do not have to interact with them), so you do not hear about their problems or perspective.

Much more clearer, thanks!

I learnt the term aero-ace in a jaiden animations vid, where she explained it, and that seemed to match with me. I have not explored my gender or sexuality yet, and have never felt the need to do so

thank you, hearing from a person of GSM definitely gives me a better perspective.

but usually there is a ‘prefer not to say’ option.

I do not like that option (it kinda feels like hiding a crime or something). But where I live, most of the time, it is just male/female/others. That still feels harsh, and kinda in line of saying all other “gender minorities” but still feels a bit blunt.

If respecting a non-trans person’s gender would be doing the same things, to you, then sure

Pardon me, but I did not understand this sentence at all. Can you please elaborate (or eli5) it?

That would be great. I did hear the news of their joint venture, but have not heard anything since. If anything comes out of this, that would be great

what does that mean

fair point, you currently have to compromise on either “ethics” (a bit stronger word than I would like to use) or result quality. My only try is to promote independent engines in hope to improve them such that market gets more competitive

I can only suggest you to try the engines in the linked article, maybe something serves your wants better

i have tried them, but can not use them as first either. but it is fun to sometimes search stuff on it and it goes off the rails

thanks, fixed

I feel you. Not a american.

well you are techincally correct, the best kind of correct

much less than half

sorry, i messed up calculation

= (25*(10^9)*1000/(3 * 10^8))/(3600)
23.148148
= (4.25*365)*24/123.148
302.319161

the 123.148 should have been 23.148, i somehow got a extra 1 in there, so that reduced final value by nearly 5 times, hence i got ~300 days instead of ~1500 days

sorry, then number of days should be 1608.346293 (24/23… * 365*4.25), and total time to reach there is 77200.622084 years (it should be less than this)

i just did some napkin maths, and currently, it is approximately 1 light day away from us (23.148 hrs, no relativistic consideration). For perspective, our nearest star is 4.25 light years away, and that is roughly 302.319161 times further than voyager. with voyager speed, it will reach centauri (not actually heading towards it, but just for distance perspective) in about in roughly 14511.319728 years (actually less than this).

edit - messed up the calc a bit, 302… should have been 1608.346293 and 14511… shoul dhave been 77200.622084, explanation in replies - root of errors - typo
