@ThinkingSapien Miles better than bans, but still kinda messed up to put a warning label on something we don't know is bad.

@OldAndCranky My great grandfather lived to be over a hundred and till the day he died, he had a weekly hard-drinking cigar-smoking poker game.

Do whatever works for ya!

@Oliviastarstuff That's okay, it's wrong anyway. 🤦‍♂️ 😆 Sorry, I was thinking of a different, but similar problem.

Your issue can be solved by tracking the time variable separately.

Instead of multiplying by the frequency by the time value when you feed them into the sin wave, store your own separate timer value and when you increment it each frame, multiply that increment by the frequency.

That way it will retain a consistent state between update frames, regardless of any jumps in frequency/timescale.

@MIfoodie Nice, what did you use to scan?

I haven't done a game jam since college, but I'm seriously considering entering this one.

@Oliviastarstuff If it helps, I've solved that exact problem before by treating the input as a radial angle (-pi to pi) instead of a linear input (time). Once the input is essentially a closed-loop circle, it becomes pretty easy to interpolate properly between two points.

Setting up this filter was oddly comforting, like peeling a sunburn.

Just blocked the NYT, Lenscrafters, and about a dozen political candidates from emailing my server. If they try, they'll get a simple failure message: "Fuck off spambot"

@blitter I can only speak for myself, but when I find myself heteronormalizing around straight people, it's usually to avoid becoming further marginalized.

I think we do it as a defense mechanism. The gayer we seem, the more likely they are to try to take away our rights.

@blitter Same reason a mouse can only be themselves when not in the presence of cats.

@kagan I cannot wait until a judge orders Louisiana schools to also host the commandments of scientology and satanism in line with our constitution.

@levisan Hmm. I just tried it. That sounds strange to me without the second H.

@lucretia I would agree that disruptive actions are far less reprehensible than destructive actions.

> It's to cause direct negative effects to the owners of the thing being sabotaged
Is that worth it if it turns popular opinion against the saboteur, though? Seems like a one-step-forward-two-steps-back result before you even consider the moral implications.

> I would argue that if anyone is being childish, it's someone who decides they oppose enviromentalism simply because the news told them that some activists broke something
There's a big difference between supporting a moral or idea and supporting a cause. For example, I'm all for ethical treatment of animals, but fuck PETA. Ultimately, we're social creatures, so if activists act like lunatics, then normal people will want to distance themselves from those lunatics, and they do so by distancing themselves from the activism.

Why do we pronounce "threshold" like it has two Hs? "Thresh-hold"

Shouldn't it be "thresh-old" or "thres-hold"?
