I've always found physics-y stuff interesting but a bit too hard to understand unfortunately.

icey Link Parentgood point - presumably with them being in widespread usage they would've found a way to decrease the excessive fuel consumption? I'm dealing entirely in hypotheticals here tbh so take my thoughts...good point - presumably with them being in widespread usage they would've found a way to decrease the excessive fuel consumption? I'm dealing entirely in hypotheticals here tbh so take my thoughts with a grain of salt :)

Comment on Why White people don't use White emoji: Does shame explain the disparity in the lesser use of light-skin-tone symbols in the US? in ~humanities

I reckon you've hit the nail on the head here - from what I've seen/encountered, different skin-tone emoji are often used by POC as a means by which they can express their identity through something as simple as a thumbs up or a high five. As a white person, I simply don't feel the desire to connect with others in a racial sense, presumably as my race hasn't (consciously) shaped me into the person I am today to the extent that being a POC may do, what with the shared hardships and the like which can help to mould someone into the person they are.

Comment on From E-40 to Blueface: The Timeless Impact of the Offbeat Flow in ~music

MF Doom is a brilliant example - one of the sharpest minds in rap (imho) who really pushed the perceived boundaries of cadence and flow in music. I saw this video of Blueface rapping on beat the other day and was kinda surprised at how so many of the comments are calling him a troll or saying he raps off beat for clout, unaware that it is just another style of rapping which has been around for decades.

I see this every day at school as an 18 year old - a large number of my peers are locked into this mindset that the only way to succeed in life is through "the hustle", relentlessly chasing "the dream" and throwing themselves full force into an entirely unsustainable way of living. I shouldn't have friends locking themselves in their rooms all weekend and blocking out any human contact just to 'get on their grind' and 'chase the dream' - all that's happening is they're harming themselves, and setting themselves up for disappointment and failure when they simply can't maintain this way of living without causing serious harm to their mental (and physical) health.

icey LinkThis is really exciting! I can't even begin to imagine how many more "secondary" paintings could be hidden within countless Basquiats...This is really exciting! I can't even begin to imagine how many more "secondary" paintings could be hidden within countless Basquiats...
