As right-wing extremists are re-platformed everywhere from Twitter to Mar-a-Lago, it’s more important than ever that we hold our journalists, researchers, & others to high standards of accountability when it comes to reporting on extremism and extremists. We need journalists who will tell us the truth, not stake out a position in the middle of two unequal sides. I keep coming back to this quote about reporting on the weather, but it was missing something — so I modified it to make it complete.

Friendly reminder: last physics nobel prize DOES NOT state that communication travels faster than light. She, I think, explains it very well.

As long as our society keeps worshipping billionares we're doomed. Being billionare is carrying a label of "I've screwed so many people to get here". It is also important to let us remind that making a fortune is only possible when you have $resources and good luck (Apart from hard work, of course.)

Dr Sabine Hossenfelder shared this article in her twitter profile. From times to times, insightful theories require simple maths ♥
Also, it is true that nowadays physicists are actually able to understand quantum physics, even when it is hard for, I think, most of us to concile it with how we perceive reality
Check it out! :)

Periodic reminder: any system that requires you set a password and then specifies a maximum length... means it is either developed by numpties (whom you shouldn't trust with the security of your data) or that they're storing your password in plain text somewhere (e.g. a database with a limited field length) which means that they're decisively incompetent numpties. Either way, both should be avoided.

@arielbnz awwww thanks!!! ♥ I actually wasn't looking for anybody xD he just popped out :'3 hahaha ... I'll consider your words, thanks :3

I started dating someone about three weeks ago and at the very beginning I felt no much of an interest for this person....however, he managed to change that and actually had me to like him so much.... now he is going back -.- this is second time this happens to me ._. Why in the hell would someone make an effort for you to like them (reaally like them) and when you do they just don't feel interest for you anymore ._. I really want to understand that.. to me, that's basically playing people out. I'm inherently monogamous so I can only focus on one single partner once I've chosen him... I expect the same but that does not happen... to me xD
I think I should give up and just move on :ablobunamused: Rick was right; focus on science, love is a waste of energy and time u.u

Does every murder have a mental illness? and.. does every person with a mental illness a potential murder? The answer to both questions is NO. But, take a look on some of the pages of this amazing book, The Science of Evil.

Such a beautiful quote ♥ from *The C++ Programming language - Bjarne Stroustrup*.

"Just as plenty of piano practice can cause a thick layer of myelination to increase the efficiency of the specific circuits needed to play a Beethoven sonata, lots of seizures can increase the myelination of the circuits that seize. (...) This is the first demonstration of maladaptive myelination in a disease context"
I wonder now if this is a mechanism that replicates with other mental diseases such as schizophrenia or BD...

@peterdrake OMG Thanksssss!!! 😍 😍 😍 that's waaaaayyyyy better 🖤 🖤 🖤

Sooo, if you ever need a boolean output on whether a text contains at least one word of a list, you can code it in a single line in python, like this :D
```any([text.find(i)>0 for i in list])```
I feel a bit proud about figuring that out :'3 I guess a senior would do it way better tho. However, if that's the case, right now I don't feel like hearing/reading it, but as of tomorrow xD

How the fuck do execute a code if a message contains at least one word in a list using an if statement in a single line in python?
Like this B) ... that my own :'3 I'm fkng happy right now :'D
Please don't ruin my happiness telling me this is not how a senior coder would do it. I mean, do it, but softly xD

Ich kann Castlevania Ende nicht fassen :ablobcatheartsqueeze: es ist einfach wünderschön :'3 ♥

Lisa: ich starb... und warst nicht da
Vlad: ich weiß
Lisa: und bist auch gestorb
Vlad: so war es...
Lisa: du hast noch mir gesucht
Vlad: natürlich habe ich das... ich hatte nicht anderes tun konnte
...
Vlad: onhe dich würde es mir schlecht ergehen
Lisa: onhe dich würde es mir schlecht ergehen

♥♥♥

Glücklich sind die Meschen, die solche wahren Lieben haben! Und darüber bin ich sehr glücklich auch :ablobhearteyes:

I was in this very dark place just once in my life... I guess ten years were necessary for me to miss it.

@arielbnz it describes later how javascript was deemed to be a joke from early web developers abusing its features... like putting blinking letters, snowflakes falling effects, etc etc x"D I wish I could see it... I first knew about the internet when I was 17. Third world issues xD
