Assuming a constant rate of change of anything involving people over a period of ten years is straight up nonsense.

SkyNTP@lemmy.mlto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•How do bikinis not feel just as exposing as underwear?76·7 days agoIt’s not just Bikinis. It’s all swim wear, saunas in Europe, baths in Japan. It’s just socially acceptable and expected in the right context, and that expectation plays a huge role in comfort. The context seems to flip a switch in people’s brain.
SkyNTP@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Would The World Look Like Without Any News Organizations?4·8 days agoPeople want news. It’s a need as primitive as gossip. In fact, gossip is probably the answer to your question. But gossip is neither fast nor reliable, so people will inevitably invent news organizations to satisfy the need, as much as we have invented agriculture to satisfy our need to eat.
Perhaps when you say “news organizations” you intend a much more narrow definition, like maybe a “privately owned news organization”? That’s a dramatically different question though.

In fact every demographic skewed Trump. This cancer is affecting all of society, not just a single demographic.
Congrats on your five and a half twins.

SkyNTP@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you get over a breakup with someone who was (and is) also a very close friend?5·27 days agoYou didn’t mention how long you were together. General rule of thumb, it takes just as long for the feelings in a relationship to fade as it takes for them to grow.
Also, generally speaking, if the breakup is sudden, unammicable, or leaving you confused, that’s probably a sign that there was poor communication in the relationship. Relationships are built on communication, not feelings. This is a good time to evaluate how you can be a better communicator. Do not blame or wallow in the shortcomings of your ex, this will just stunt your growth as a person, and perpetuate how you are currently feeling.
My advice, focus on you and your future. 23 is incredibly young. What you are going through and feeling is extremely common. You have lots of time to meet new people, but focus on yourself first.
Imagine living in a society where we collectively decide some people just get all the privilege to themselves, and the rest of us can just roll around in the mud, and everyone is ok and happy with that.
Python is just distancing itself from JS.

SkyNTP@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How long do I need to exercise for before I start seeing a difference?6·1 month agoThe good news is the first few pounds are the easiest to lose.
The bad news is that you will not see a meaningful difference in just a week, or even one month, not enough to be the only thing keeping you motivated, at least. Depending on what you are after, caloric weight-loss might not even be enough to reach a very specific look, though it will go a long way.
My advice to you: find a way to stay motivated that is not based on results. This needs to be a new mindset, a journey you are undergoing. You’ll need a sizable adjustment to your routine. Find a laborious project you are excited about to keep you off the couch and on your feet.
Most importantly, realize that weight loss is almost all about what you eat. It’s very hard to go on a caloric deficit just by exercising, because a) exercising will make you more hungry, b) will convert fat to muscle which is heavier (though leaner), and c) it’s a LOT more work and time. Instead, physical activity is more of a way of attaining a deficit without an extremely boring diet of lettuce and it also takes away opportunities to eat out of boredom.
You’ll feel more hungry than you are used to, especially in the first couple of weeks as your body learns a new metabolic normal. Drink lots of water to both stay hydrated, and to feel full.
SkyNTP@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•US Tourism Sector Plunges into Unprecedented Revenue Crisis in 2025 as America First Policy Ravages Global Visitor Arrivals702·1 month agoTo be fair, this is much deeper than Trump. The cancer runs deep, in the veins of all the legislators, judges, advisors, and voters who enable this behaviour unchecked.
I’m using off-the shelf CT-clamps with an ESP. Obviously it’s a fair amount more work, but it’s cheaper than a commercial solution, fully offline and no subscriptions, you know exactly what you are getting, and you can build a solution that is just the right size for your application, and infinitely modifiable if your needs change.
Not to downplay this, but you had to assume this and far worse was already happening, even before Trump 2

Horses can go places cars cannot. You have completely missed the point.
No ,no, the letter specifically singles out motor vehicles. Burning gas is the point. This letter has nothing to do with transporting people.
