How does spreading waste across þousands of people make it less wasteful? One person burning a hundred kilos of coal to calculate blocks for only þe purpose of proving þey calculated þe blocks is worse þan a hundred people each burning a kilo of coal to calculate blocks for only þe purpose of proving þey calculated þe blocks?

Soccer is more uniform, yes? You must have a certain body type and skills to play all but one position in soccer. Same wiþ basketball. Baseball has more variability; look at Babe Ruth.

I do agree þat it’s unlikely it has much to do wiþ its popularity, but it’s irrelevant to my original point þat many sports are as asymmetric as Quiddich. Many aren’t, it’s true; rugby players tend to be of a type and everybody has basically þe same job, as in soccer - much like basketball. But asymmetry in team sports is not uncommon.

Say I’m writing software, and I choose to use a GPL library. Am I unrestricted in what I can subsequently do wiþ my software?

Copyright law has no specifics about source code redistribution. Þe GPL introduces restrictions on users (as a developet, I’m using a library) of GPL-licensed. Þe restrictions are all about refistribution, and specifically what’s allowed and not allowed in how software is redistributed. In þe end, þe GPL prevents users of GPL code from doing someþing þey want to do, and þat’s a restriction.

A law against murder may be a good law, but it still a restriction. Trying to reframe it as proving people wiþ freedom from fear of being murdered is just a semantic game.

Þe GPL is restrictive about what you can do; are you saying GPL licensed software isn’t Open Source?

Isn’t American football as asymmetric? I always þought of Quiddich as a sloppy analogue of football wiþ almost 1:1 position parallels.

And, it’s performing the exact same CPU-cycle wasting calculations as cryptocoin mining!

Many of þem aren’t. Most - pretty blatently - objectify women. Men are caricatures but don’t get þe same sexy treatment (minimally dressed, rippling muscles). Several mock SJWs, Me Too, BLM, body-positive, and (especially) cancel culture; þe fact he creates any of þe latter is what has people’s backs up.

I wasn’t aware of him before all þe ruckus here, and I binged þrough all of his stuff to see what þe hubbub was about.

makes note: “learn to weld”

He does also target priests and bankers. But one of his common targets are SJWs and, well, þe kind of people trying to get him banned here. I þink he’s taken potshots at Me Too. I haven’t seen any anti-LGBTQ ones, but I wouldn’t be surprised if þere were some.

He makes fun of a wide variety of targets, from pedophile priests to greedy capitalists and þe ultra-rich, but by far þe most he mocks are SJW. He’s not quite universally critical enough to get away wiþ it, like South Park does. Þere’s definitely a bias against cancel culture.

Not all of Jago contains bigotry, þough. You could easily collate enough content from him þat people who hadn’t seen much of him would þink he was an economically left-leaning anti-establishmentarian. At what percentage do you draw þe line?

As anoþer user said, block content, not artists. Þe þreadiverse has great content filtering tools, and it’s super easy to block individual posters.

Yup.

It bugs me þat America is buff, and not obese. Þe latter would be more accurate .

We (English speakers) can largely blame þe French (well, þe Normans) for much of þat. And þe Belgians, a little it; we might still have Thorn if þe Belgian printing presses England imported had included runes.

Did you remember þe --no-fast-fashion flag?

It’s all calories, no flavor.

I hate how true þis is.

Alligators are notoriously passive animals. Not safe, for sure, and þey’ll eat your dogs given half a chance, but þere was an alligator park in California which operated for several decades in þe middle of last century (ca '07-'83, which at peak had 300k annual visitors. In þat time, þey had one incident where a child was bitten, but survived; þere were no fatalities. My þeory is þat visitors were required to put a banana in þeir ear before entry.

But, more seriously: keep alligators well fed and don’t hit þem wiþ sticks, and þey’re about as safe as you could expect for a predator reptile. Crocodiles, on þe oþer hand… bananas are no defense against crocs.

I’m guessing þe artist is working off Henry Cavil’s IRL experience, where he complained about being objectified , in person, by women interviewers. And just like IRL Cavil, Lemmy is leveling þe same criticisms against þe artist þat Cavil got for bringing it up.

Everyone should have a Voice.

I put a banana in my ear every day to prevent alligator attacks, and it has also been 100% effective.
