No, and for my one-minute abridged defense:

• Gen 1-2 definitely didn't happen and were written by two different groups with different religious views using two different creator-god names
• Noah's Ark definitely didn't happen, and the story repeats itself all the time because it crushes together the Yahwist's and Elohist's writing in a manner especially suggestive of natural human authorship
• New Testament claims that the human lineage is as young as is reported in Gen 2 (Luk 3:38) and has Jesus - presumably the same entity as God - suggest multiple times in two gospels that the great flood was a real event

That's about enough to deconvert already, and it keeps getting worse the deeper you take things

I wonder what it sounds like to physically speak something in parentheses

Congratulations, you've invented the Martingale betting system and are well on your way to becoming an adept probability theorist

The short answer is that casinos account for this by changing the profit returns and the odds of making a profit at all so that catastrophic losses are much more likely

pros: exceedingly small chance that the one decision-maker and everyone who succeeds them are correct about everything all the time and we reach utopia

cons: likely genocide

In case you didn't know, you can turn off promotional emails in Settings -> Dashboard -> Email Subscriptions or by adding a mail filter to push them all into an advertisement folder, and the other ads can be mitigated by hitting "don't show this offer again" on each one

sarcasm was not clear, I bought a kilo of heroin after reading your first comment and now I don't know what to do with it. I'm using it as a mousepad now

These are some of my favorites that you haven't listed. I pretty much only browse TF content

Rakisha/Tanraak does some of the best lighting and musculature work I know of, and prefers to define shapes and contours just through how they distort the shine on top of solid colors. Also a lot of cybernetics. Masterful work all around and the kind of artist I aspire to be.

Redflare500 does a lot of shiny clothing and inanimate TFs. It's often creepy and uncanny but just enough to add to the excitement IMO.

Helixjack/Shinyhelix does a ton of goo content and is one of my older favorites. Over the last decade their art style has changed from being near Fox0808 to near Redflare.

Rhaenjarr is less on the TF side, more often does creatures that were shiny to begin with. When goo shows up it's much more viscous and weighty than most other artists' styles, and with more diffuse reflections like the material is closer to silicone. Very good with backgrounds and scene composition. Makes me wish I had more $ for commissions

check op's profile, pretty sure these posts are just meant to be confounding

you don't have one of those DM_ME_(thing) usernames

tbh at this point being a Linux user is a Lemmy meme

Nitpick: the proper term is "virtual desktop" or "workspace", as "desktop environment" is already a common term for the software composing the entire user interface.

I enjoy using this feature on any operating system since it lets me quickly scan through and declutter open windows, and place categories of windows in their own workspaces. I might have only productivity windows on one, and leisure and socials on another. It's especially effective if you learn the keyboard shortcuts for navigating inside and between workspaces. All this improves my productivity and keeps distractions away.

Every time I sneeze I redirect all the air into a cough. If I actually need my sinuses cleared (e.g., at the end of a cold germ) I just blow my nose. Am I in the minority?
