As someone who figured out my gender using calculus (mapped dysphoria over time and found the derivative. Yes that is way too much work) I may have to do a troll
We found the source of the variable X in LatinX! SOMEONE GET THEM TO SAFETY BEFORE THE MACHISMOS FIND THEM!
The math would’ve been easier had we been dealing with latine.
? you can totally do meth in the latrines
What was the derivative?
The transient solution was positive
Can you … can you post the graph?
Wow, in Doctor Who back in the 70s he runs in a classmate from Galifrey who calls him ( an equation) abbreviated as “Theet Sigma”.
I like the idea that there was something about the doctor that they didn’t understand about themselves and had to do the math. Not sure if that would make the equation part of the question or answer but it’s interesting.
Thank you, hope you’re on a lovely path.
Thanks, it was definitely a strange experience but learning calculus gave me new frames of reference to think of all sorts of problems and that was one of my major problems at the time. It’s part of why I think that math and science are just as important as the humanities for well roundedness even if you’ll never use them. They teach you to think differently just like history and literature do.
And yeah it was fuck 9 years ago now. I transitioned shortly after and am now at the point I spent so long hoping to get to where it’s all in my past.
fantastic
Is a “chicks with dx” joke acceptable here?
oh, that was good
Damn right it is
Acceptable? You might win the Internet for the day.
You can ever accommodate a partial derivative
That’s actually incredible finding out your gender with calculus lol what an awesome way to find out lmao
In making the announcement on the Tony Kinnett show, livestreamed on YouTube, Rokita stated that investigators would pore over submissions and post any they believed to be credible onto a publicly viewable database.
In other words, they’re not going to act on the ones that don’t align with their own political ideology.
Is the Lemon Party image still around? That would be horrible…
Can someone try to “Little Bobby Tables” them? Just put some SQL injection shit to make the servers more of a dumpster fire?
I imagine sending memes is not illegal, SQL injection attacks might be.
And targeting a group of people is unconstitutional, fuck the laws that harm the citizens and protect the state.
It is almost certainly illegal under the computer fraud and abuse act. Don’t hack, kiddos.
*don’t get caught (have good opsec)
But what if a meme just happens to be a SQL injection?
I’ve worked with a bunch of government agencies and the chances of a SQL injection are low. Not because they’re good, but because they’ll use some kind of framework to speed up development which will have injection prevention baked in.
😔 Damn.

It doesn’t matter what Christianity says. These piles of sub-human filth are just trying to keep America at its own throat so we focus on human rights issues instead of paying attention to the bills they actually care about.
This shit is all smoke and mirrors and at this point I don’t think they’re going to get the idea until the rest of us start acting real French
I can’t think of anything that would apply here in terms of not snitching.
Pretty sure this would fall under the several parables in Christianity where Jesus or God basically tells people that exacting judgement for biblical sin is the domain and privilege of God alone and that it’s not the job of people to act on it.
But if Christians didn’t get pushback for being terrible to people they wouldn’t feel persecuted and they all want to suffer somehow to feel like they are Christ-like themselves. The Bible is very much written from the perspective of having it’s work cut out to be radical upheaval of the status quo. I don’t think there was much thought that they would basically recreate the structures they were fighting against by becoming economically as powerful as nobility. When you really start digging everything from the expectation of extreme celebacy to the idea that giving money to the church is a virtue that should be rewarded with respect and prestige in the church isn’t Jesus… It’s Paul. The notoriously power hungry guy who who fell off a horse, hit his head on a rock and hallucinated Jesus.
Without Paul there is no Christianity. The James community got wiped out. What’s more without Paul there is no Bible either.
27 books and 13 attributed to him alone. Of the remaining only 5 are popularly referenced. Of those five 1 is Jesus recast in the mold of Paul (Mark) and the other is about the merry adventures of Paul. Since John copied Luke, Luke copied Matthew, and Matthew copied Mark even the parts about Jesus aren’t really about him.
You don’t know what Jesus really said, you can’t even confirm the man existed.
Here is the truth and I am sorry it hurts. Your god is made in your image. The Jesus you like tells us a lot about you and nothing about what really happened. If you are a SJW type then Jesus is one, if you are an authority type than Jesus is one as well, revolutionary, closeted homosexual, enlightened being who knows about aliens, into peace, into diversity, into charity, into institution building… There are as many Jesus’ as there are people who worship him. The greatest Rorschach test ever made.
What religion hurt you?
What did I say that was factually wrong?
All of them hurt everyone in one way or another.
So does Sunlight?
you can’t even confirm the man existed.
Well, that’s going a bit overboard. Unless you have someone’s mummy, you can’t confirm that any ancient person existed. Obviously some people existed, otherwise we wouldn’t exist.
The Bible is the most printed book in history. There’s more surviving written evidence that Jesus existed than some Roman Emperors. It’s just an atheist belief that Jesus “probably didn’t exist”.
Whether you believe he was a divine figure is different. But there’s more written evidence about him and what he believed than most people in history.
Hey, do you have any suggestions on where i can read more on your first two paragraphs please?
Bart Erhman. He wrote a series of popular books on the NT and pretty much is the guy everyone is going to recommend to get started with. He also has a podcast.
In terms of the book attributions Wikipedia has a list I am sure.
In terms of what happened to James community I am not sure the best place to get started would be. Maybe start by learning about the purposed authors of the Gospel of John.
In terms of my assertions that Mark was recasting Jesus as Paul well you are just going to have to look around. Start by finding a basic textual criticism class on Mark. If you would like to know why I said that I can give you a breakdown of my arguments but a real historian could do a better job.
In terms of me saying that they all copied from each other again Bart. Me and him disagree about John but he he agrees with the rest. You also might want to read up on the Synoptic problem and Q, M, and L sources.
Let me know.
Thank you for recommending Bart Erhman. Hes delightful and very informative to watch/listen to.
Yourr a legend. Thanks for the detailed reply,i appreciate it.
Point of order regarding the hostility here - I am not a Christian. Closest spiritual philosophy I ascribe to is Shinto. I dislike Paul in a general sense because I am a trans non-binary person and I grew up in a town where Christian kids were awful to me mostly based off the sex negative nature of Pauline doctrine where I intuit the man was a sex repulsed asexual who really was fond of telling other people what to do and setting that up as the default state of Christianity is very good at creating situations of sexual/religious trauma.
I study the bible and the origins of dogma for historical purpose to help make greater sense of the complex nature of how individual schisms of the church impacted the world. I am aware Jesus has the same situation going as Aristotle and Confucius where what we have of his philosophy was written down by his students or his students students. It’s at best a warped lens.
Still the picture painted that remains of Jesus, or this idea of Jesus… does have some identifiable philosophies. Mostly comparable to the classical stoics.
But at least part of the situation in figuring out the formation of the early church and the development of is to look at the early adopters. The bible is not meant to be be read through as a full endorsement of every rule. Leviticus for instance is “the rules of the tribe of Levi” and are essentially a snapshot of the sort of rules created by the priesthood of that particular time. It gives context of where dogma comes from potentially so that one can extrapolate what is God’s law and what is cultural. There is no divorcing Paul from the modern church due to him being the core around which the whole thing aelf legitimizes… But a Church, any church or the conception of an organized church is not Christianity. As movements go using the document as a historical document (more or less in the same way we would use Monmont or Herodotus) you can recontextualize a very different conception of the religion and there is nothing really to stop you from following it.

Yes when you ignore data that doesn’t agree with you, you can find data that does. There is no universal agreed upon method of verifying that the oral tradition
- Existed
- Accurately reported what really happen
- Self-correcting so it could remove what didn’t happen
Besides which we really do not have a reason to believe that a country bumpkin illiterate preacher in that culture and place would know and invoke Greek philosophy. The very word we have for a person going against God Apostate comes from Epicureanism by means of Aramaic.

Cool. Are you trying to convince me or Christians? Your argument is that Christianity doesn’t have to be terrible it just is. It is a fixable problem. Which might be true since hey as I said it is all a Rorschach test. There is no historical Jesus so anyone can make him say whatever they want. Now where does this get you? In theory if multiple things happen in a very specific sequence something awful could be good, for a small amount of time.
Why don’t we just cut out the stalling and middleman and just all become atheists humanists? No? Fine go retrocon the Bible and pretend you have some means of detecting what can’t be detected.
My general issue with atheists is that they are generally complete asshats about people who do believe in anything and even the suggestion that any belief system other than their own should be taken seriously as a potential core function of identity causes them to go on a massive hostile tirade where they treat everyone else in the room as an idiot.
If you are as big an asshole about any belief than your own functionally you are basically just Christianity 2.0 as far as trying to flatten the spiritual landscape. When people become hostile towards you with that behavior you earn it. I don’t know what religious trauma got you where you are but taking it back to the drawing board for a hard think about how you are turning it around and inflicting it on others.
No I don’t think Jesus was particularly up on Greek philosophy but it’s not actually all that hard a philosophy to hit upon. Most of the stoics did so in isolation because essentially it is a trauma response. Sometimes someone randomly pops up out of the landscape with a similar idea call it the convergent evolution of ideas.
And Yes, convincing Christians is in part my deal because I am queer and as a whole we need to fight these beliefs just to stay alive but Christians aren’t going to become athiests. You do not fight belief with disbelief, they spit that back in your face because that’s not how faith works.
But by all means act a complete social paraiah that makes the work harder by making them believe that people are trying to rip away what’s precious to them. Drive them to believe they are persecuted and call them idiots so they dive back into their book and their churches with a self righteous relief at having dodged the devil once again. Ask yourself what that ego hit of proselytizing your atheism with vicious slow burn rage looks like from the outside and then look at the men on the street corners telling us how we’re all going to burn in hell waving their holy book and ask yourself if your behaviour towards others is all that different.
I usually steer clear of religion but the Rorschach test idea is amazing, never looked at it that way until now. Cheers!
What religion are they members of?
Evangelical christians.
So, it could be any of the 3/4ths of sitting politicians
Glad to have alerted them to this very important situation developing in the city of Fuckhole, Indiana. o7
Hello! I created that image! (With AI.)
I was inspired by this image to make some more, this theme and subject really lend themselves to some fantastic images!
Love the rad themes at the end, skating thru space
Can confirm; got it from Lemmy. Thank you for your service o7
I haven’t been able to check if they actually need a confirmation email or something…
I see an “add attachments” that is crying out to be tested with a zip-bomb.

You have to use more realistic names and shit so they waste time looking through them.

The script for Eurotrip, with a note not to tell Scotty
Scotty doesn’t knoooooooooooooooow
Fionaaaaaaa
Thanks for reminding me that in 7th grade I knew a kid named Scotty who had a crush on a girl named Fiona and we used to sing this song for him. Gave me a good laugh, thanks.
No, you.
This is like when a little boy has a crush on a girl but pretends they’re disgusted by them and their cooties. I suspect there’s more projecting going on here than a voice-throwing competition.
Everything that a conservative does is in the name of their own, personal insecurity. It’s all projection of their internalized fear and self-disgust.
And then what, send the teachers and kids to re-education camps?
Isn’t this the same kind of thing some people get upset at China over?
Wtf.
Well yeah but it’s okay when Republicans do it because Murica.
Because capitalism! FREEDOOOOM! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

And just when I thought my state couldn’t get much worse, we’re wasting time and taxpayer money for witch hunts.
I think you missed the time and taxpayer money that has already been spent on persecuting Dr. Caitlin Bernard for performing a legal abortion on a raped 10-year-old. Rokita has been doing witch hunts for a while now.
Just as the Salem Founders intended
Hello fellow Hoosier, I emailed our school superintendent last year when the stupid book banning bill thing was proposed, and then passed. I wanted to know if there would be a way to tell if people requested books to be banned, so I could go out and buy them for my kid to read. (because obviously they must be read worthy)
I followed up with him recently since the bill had passed. He did, at least, inform me that no ban requests have been made. So at least in our school there wasn’t some crazy people waiting to start complaining and getting books removed. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to search for banned books though which I would like to see as an option.
Well that’s definitely encouraging. I’m from a small town (my graduating class was less than 60 people), but I haven’t heard about any book bans here either.
I actually filled out their form, with my info but didn’t meme them. I wrote out a paragraph or so message about how disingenuous the GOP has been. That this Grandstanding and fear tactics are what has been “dividing” people and that his webpage/form, along with other bills they continue to introduce are the problem. I also reminded him that children aren’t racist, homophobic, (should have included religious) until adults teach them these things.
I’m sure my message will get lost in the memes but it made me feel better.
