@inthehands and I really wanna hammer in home that's this lecturer is one of the best in the faculty in the sense that he actually cared about us and didn't see us as a burden. I'll let you imagination paint a picture to how the rest of the faculty members were

@inthehands I remember when the class year after me in my physics undergrad were struggling with most subjects because the uni had changed the degree structure drastically for that year. One day they went to the most, let me say genuine, lecturer there is and when they were complaining how no one is doing anything about the fact that they're all getting poor grades and failing, his response was, "we're under the impression that this is a particular bad year of students"

@mcc I remember being in a Facebook group of Physics student memes during my Physics Bachelor's and at some point someone innocently asked "What is spin?" wanting a genuine answer but the entire group got dumbfounded when they realised that there's no coherent explanation for it and it became an inside joke/meme in the group for months.

"What is spin? Oh, it's the angular momentum of a particle but not really."

@killyourfm looks cool. Idk what the ones on the right side are though

@aliss excuse me, the horsey is called the Knight and it's not a bug, it's a feature. Us true Knightists know its true value

@GossiTheDog I'm more likely to think Microsoft will throw openAI under the bus. That's why they never outright bought them but just "heavily invested" in them

@emma there's a whole organisation spanning thousands of years which disagrees with you.

Ok, I'm only joking

@MicroSFF "also Starlink satalites pass by without our knowledge or consent and fuck up our entire data"

@GossiTheDog @tomwarren I really wanna know how this gets past the DMA in the EU

@thomasfuchs so sending nudes predated phone sex

Yes, that is all that I took from that information

@babe my girlfriend found Linkin Park in a playslist called "Divorced Dad Rock" once

@ryanhoulihan "Ocean Temperatures are fuckex" would have been a way better headline

@mina countries where borders were randomly drawn up by colonisers? Idk, that's what comes to my mind. It was done specifically to fuck up all organisational governments

@mina it also includes the middle east

@mhoyeI when the superconducting thing was on the news a few months ago, I remember Twitter being full of "Has the EU banned the superconducter yet?" jokes by a bunch of "libertarian" tech bros. I spent more time on Masotodon just to avoid these sorts of dumbass tweets since there were more tech socialists here from Europe overall

If they're here now, I speculate that it's from the latest wave of migration from Twitter and they're now poisoning the space with their "line goes up" bullshit

@aral @bitflipped I guess that's why I'm asking. Why is it not inclusive and what can be done to make it inclusive?

@aral I swear I'm not trying to play devil's advocate here but I genuinely do want to understand the sentiment. Why is the name not inclusive? I understand it's named after the sex thing which I guess is a bit weird tbf, but as far as I know the act of being a gimp or dominating one is pretty gender neutral. So who exactly is it excluding?

@thor turns out those maths lessons in school WERE important

@thor I had friends who did that as well. Some people do not really grasp poverty. I was complaining to my friend once about being poor and she replied with, "I just bought a flat and am €300,000 in debt and you don't have any dept at all so you're richer than me"

Little did she know I had spent 3 days without food that week because I had no money

@ryanhoulihan that's the secret. She was always a psychopath
