@Great_Albums @lowqualityfacts it's "whoever", not "whomever" because it's the nominative case (as in Latin, German, etc.) which I just learned is also named the subjective case in English. The nominative case applies to the subject but also to the complement if the complement is the same thing as the subject. For example, in "I am a Berliner", both "I" and "a Berliner" use the nominative case because they describe the same thing. However, in "I eat a Berliner", "a Berliner" is not equivalent to the subject and therefore uses another case. This is poorly explained here and there:

You can only do this once, answers are given after each guess time runs out . In my case, before I could spit it out 😔

Poll-experiment for 24 hours:

Keep the three bars at the same length!

@walruslifestyle and a ban should be called a mastectomy.

[mastodon: early 19th century: modern Latin, from Greek mastos ‘breast’ + odous, odont- ‘tooth’ (with reference to nipple-shaped tubercles on the crowns of its molar teeth)]

the admin of a Mastodon instance should be called a Mastodontist. thanks

I probably paid a little more than I should have for this photo but I love it. I love the cat’s position and expression, I love the texture of the fur and the grass/foliage, and I love the ethereal light leaks. From my collection, no info known. #CatsOfYore #Cat #Cats #History #catsodon #catsofmastodon #catcontent #ilovecats #vintage

At the end of that one, he harps a bit on the ‘whitepaper == bad’ thing from the original paper:

“The paper you just read could never be published in a scientific journal. The studies themselves are just as good as the ones Ethan and I have published in fancy journals, but writing about science this way is verboten.

For instance, in a journal you’re not allowed to say things like “we don’t know why this happens.” You’re not allowed to admit that you forgot why you ran a study. And you’re DEFINITELY not allowed to talk about Dyngus Day. You’re supposed to be very serious; a reviewer once literally told me that my paper was “too fun” and that I should make it more boring. You’re supposed to pack your paper with pointless citations because reviewers might like your paper more if they see their name in it. And if reviewers don’t like your paper, they’ll reject it and nobody will ever see it.”

This is a portrait that I made at the request of a lady in Texas about two years ago. This type of thing is an awesome gift to give someone and is affordable as well! I'd be thrilled to make you something, please message me with some photos and we can chat about getting some cool custom art made for u! #art #arts #artists #artforsale #artwork #portrait #portraits #commissions #commissionsavailable #commissionswelcome #commissionswanted #artnet #illustration #artistsonmastodon #artistsofmastodon
