Emasculated goes a bit far but I kinda get it. It doesnt bother me if a sexual encounter starts with a toy, but “let me grab my vibrator so I can finish” is a night that ends with me feeling like I’m not good enough and probably going to bed feeling bad about myself. It’s something thats turned a few dates into one night stands for me when I told them how it made me feel and they were dismissive of my feelings

I used to be that guy. Then I realized asking eachother questions is just part of the human experience. I know we can both google it, but maybe you just wanted to talk to me instead of a computer. Maybe ill ask you something I already know or could easily google so you can feel smart and helpful answering my question. Life is nicer when you have positive interactions with people instead of searching for every minute way you could belittle them

5·5 months agoIt’s a double entendre. Alleged is the censored word but its purposely censored in a way to make it read “aged” if you ignore the censored letters

e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x)
That is the euler relationship. You can use that relationship to convert any expression with a trig function into an expression of exponentials and imaginary numbers. “Euler’s formula” is a good search term if you want to learn more
Shout out to the euler relationship for allowing me to forget every single trig identity I ever learned
I think milquetoast is the word you want; milktoast is phonetically correct but that spelling refers to a breakfast dish.

Avocado toast is one of the many things disingenuous conservative media has used to blame millennials for the economic situation we grew up in. “They wouldn’t be in such poor financial situation if they stopped paying $15 for avocado toast at brunch every day”
That being said… avocado toast rocks and that is an opinion shared by all of my friends of my age lol. Personally I like mine with a fried egg and hot sauce

Afaik its a strategy to scare off predators. The general idea goes like… predators dont want to get stung --> predators less likely to eat wasps --> fly pretends to be wasp --> predator less likely to eat fly for fear of being stung. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimicry here is a Wikipedia page if you feel like reading a much better longer description written by people who know a whole shitload more about biology than I do.

News@lemmy.world•No, Chicago salt trucks are not being used to interfere with ICE
12·6 months agoContext for people from warmer climates who may not know what a salt truck is/does:
In colder climates where the roads freeze in the winter, cities de-ice the roads. This is sometimes done by spreading salt from big trucks all over the roads to melt the ice. You could refer to a salt truck as a de-icing truck or an ice melting truck and you’d be largely correct
You count up in incremental numbers until you reach 5280 and then finally increment from 0 to 1 miles. That’s base 5280. Just because we didnt invent more symbols to easily represent that does not mean its not a different numeric base.
Did you read the words I wrote? It looks like youre responding to a “imperial units are better than metric” strawman which you may notice I didnt say or even allude to
This comment brought to you by a complete and fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to use a different base numeral
Imagine being so close minded and bad at math that you can only think in base 10 and feel the constant need to degrade people who are good at math in different bases
