Did you see that Magic: the Gathering now has a game state in which you need to prove that there are an infinite number of twin primes to win? I can explain it more if you are interested.
(With reference to this post here.)
By all means, please tell us about the Magic: the Gathering combo which requires proving the twin prime conjecture in order to win.
This too shall pass but like holy fuck
I'm trying to prove something.
A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad
It was kind of a dick move to create animals that require air, then confine them to the freaking ocean
The late 2000s to mid 2010s had at least these achievements:
- the internet became less hostile to queer people existing
- the internet and society became more aware of (and less hostile to) trans people existing
- countries were at least discussing legalising same sex marriage
- tech and many hobbiest conferences and online communities started to embrace codes of conduct
- income and wealth inequality was a mainstream conversation
- racism and its harms was a mainstream conversation
- it still felt possible that we could avoid the worst of climate change
- there was movement against sexual harassment and assault in workplaces, there were cases against the churches and other institutions for the sexual abuse of children and other vulnerable people
- it felt like there was reason to be hopeful
None of these things were perfect. Homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and racism were still big problems, but the bigots were beginning to be careful about who heard them spout off.
Codes of conduct weren't (and aren't) always enforced and when they're enforced it isn't always to protect the vulnerable.
Then the wealthy fought back with Brexit, Trump's first term and the rise of authoritarianism across the globe. They forced inaction on climate change and suppressed worker wages. This took away a lot of the gains we had made. Now wealth inequality is even worse, and the richest man in the planet has bought the USA government.
am taking perverse pleasure in reminding people it's 2025. that's a star trek year. silly little science fiction number. except it's happening, and DANG ain't it underwhelming!
Happy Halloween!! Eat lots of candy and stuff!!!
Here is your mission.
Some of the women were so contaminated that radiation could still be detected using a Geiger counter of their graves in 1987. 62 years after the chief medical examiner of Essex County, New Jersey, Harrison Stanford Martland, MD, published his report that identified the radioactive material the women had ingested as the cause of their bone disease and aplastic anemia, and ultimately death.
so much rage for anyone who tells the story of the radium girls like “ohoho weren’t people in the 20s fucking stupid” and not like “corporate greed has always cost people’s lives and health”
Anyway
