It’s unclear. The Vatican denies it, but apparently weirder methods have been used to certify the passing of a pope before, so who knows.

You know, there’s something truly beautiful about people knowing you’re weird and still wanting to spend their time with you.

I realized I couldn’t think of a single green mammal so I DDG’d it and it’s true. In a nutshell, the pigments that give mammals their colors are limited to warm colors (so no blue or green) and you could also fake a green color by reflecting mostly just green light off you (it’s how birds do it) but it seems to be something only feathers and scales are good at, not fur.

I really hope it does the manga justice. It would be a tragedy if people ended up dismissing this series because of a subpar anime adaptation.

I don’t know. Perhaps it was at first, but I’ve been hearing Cameron talking about Avatar 5 for a long time.

Yes, it exists and it’s getting a sequel in December. You’ll have to wait until 2029 for Avatar 4 though.

Not if you’re suicidal. Death by submarine implosion has got to be one of the best ways to go if you ask me.

Yeah, this is a whole thing. In Portuguese, like most other Romance languages I believe, every single noun is gendered, so cars are male, houses are female, and so on and so forth. We have the male pronoun ele (he) and the female one ela (she), and besides these there’s also a neutral isso (it) but using that to refer to someone is very rude and dehumanizing, so we basically have no neutral pronouns (when talking about multiple people you generally use the plural male pronoun eles unless they’re all women, but some people think that’s kinda sexist I guess).

Some people have been trying to create new pronouns to fix that, such as elu, elx and ile, all of which have seen very limited adoption. I like to consider myself a progressive and inclusive person but I just can’t bring myself to use these new words, they all sound terrible, it’s like I’m butchering the language. So yeah, when talking about someone you don’t know in Portuguese you basically have to guess their gender or just ask them what they like more.

Fuck it, make a city in the nucleus. You can only visit it if you somehow survive the absurdly high pressure and temperature down there.

There goes my hero.

Guilty as charged. Netflix has a lot of good content and their app works well so I don’t mind paying for it, though I still put on my eyepatch from time to time when I want to watch something they don’t have.

Because composers are artists and (I imagine) making art is not like a regular job. I know I would put a lot more effort into my job if I had to create something that people will enjoy experiencing and remember for a long time instead of spending all day sending e-mails and filling spreadsheets.

I see, that makes sense. I thought they meant the opposite, as in movies like Sharknado which doesn’t take itself seriously at all.

On the other hand a bad movie with a complete lack of self-awareness can also work, as in The Room.

A lot of people don’t have a choice, though.

Is this still true if you’re self-employed?

I guess I too missed the memo that says you’re supposed to outgrow everything that brought you joy as a child. I’ll probably be an old geezer and still be playing videogames, watching cartoons and reading comic books.

What do you mean it isn’t popular? I was under the impression that KDE was roughly as used as GNOME, maybe a little less since it’s not the default in as many distros. As for why current GNOME is popular, my guess it’s mostly momentum (since GNOME was already popular) but it being a very clean and polished desktop probably helps as well.
