I can't believe you all missed the free space that is "misogynist"

Gay and Fr*nch

[-] dkr567@hexbear.net 58 points 3 months ago

Oh look it's the smartass who still uses the term "girly drinks" in the year 2024. Probably smells like literal shit too.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 42 points 3 months ago

It's funny. His manly 8% beer. Her girly fruit drink that's like 60% straight vodka. Patriarchy is a trip.

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

8% beers are hipster beers. Real lads drink 5%.

When the semicolon is so misused you assume it must be just a spot of something on your screen fry

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

lmao I didn't even notice that.

"polymath" yeah sure dude lol

[-] daniyeg@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

he probably takes pride in the fact that he knows semicolons ... exist. i bet he writes exclusively in cursive.

[-] BobDole@hexbear.net 46 points 3 months ago

Polymath

What a nerd. I can do multiple kinds of maths too but you don’t see me making up words and bragging about it

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 39 points 3 months ago

"Freelance" also means "unemployed"

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

Free lance, as in if you pay people i well stab people while astride buttercup, my trusty steed.

anyone who calls themselves a polymath suffers from dunning-kruger

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago

Me, a polymath, inventing new kinds of invisimaginary numbers to try to figure out who all is actually in my polycule and which people i'm dating.

[-] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago

why assume irish cream? white russians and toasted almonds exist. the bloke didnt even answer the question!

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 38 points 3 months ago

Love 2 ask people online for help only to get some smug smartass telling me to suck shit and the next reply is an AI telling me it's safe to drink bleach.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago

I wish these absolute losers would just say "haha wat r u gay" instead of this elaborate fedora dance, but they are allergic to simplifying absolutely anything they say because doing so would reveal how mud-fucking simple their thoughts and opinions are, and we can't have that if we're gonna be an august man of letters can we?

[-] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

At least almost everybody calling themselves a 'polymath' is just a bullshitter.
Today, humanity's collective knowledge about so many things is too deep to actually get in-depth into multiple topics. Hell, you can encounter mathematicians claiming that two mathematicians who study different branches might as well be speaking different languages to each other.

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago

it's worse than different languages. they use the same words to mean entirely different things. so you can say stuff from the same lexicon that means entirely different things to different mathematicians. there are supposed to be analogies that help you translate but jfc I swear to god if I hear one more definition of compactness I'm going to cry. no I'm not going to learn more category theory to understand how I can use a sheaf to translate the different notions because that also doesn't mean what I think it means. shut up shut up shut up words mean things. next you're going to tell me red is blue because color theory staaaahp

self-teaching math is a pain in the ass

[-] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

but jfc I swear to god if I hear one more definition of compactness I'm going to cry

Huh. I'm only familiar with the ones that are equivalent to what you would learn in a general topology textbook/course almost right away, i.e. a compact space is a topological space, such that every open cover of the space contains as a subset a finite open subcover of the space. What other ones can you share?

EDIT: forgot a word. Not thinking great right now.

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

they're supposed to all be versions of that one, it's just not always very easy to see how - joke was mainly about that. category theory calls things compact if they're "small" in a very particular sense. algebraic compactness also has nothing to do with the topological notion, at least on the surface (abelian group that's a direct summand of every group containing it as a pure subgroup). basically, every area of math where the topological notion makes no sense will invariably call something compact eventually, because mathematicians can't resist.

sometimes if you squint you can see how it relates back to the topological notion but frequently it's anything but obvious if you don't already understand the field - which means when you're trying to work things out for yourself, you just have to treat it like one more definition of the same word until you finally get it one day.

I think it's easier if you have a prof who can just make the analogy clear from the start.

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago

Liquor? But i hardly know her!

[-] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

If you don't know, just don't answer the question.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

He had to Google "liquor"? The rebellious colony must be held in very low esteem indeed for Mr. Polymath.

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

This "girly drink" discourse sounds weird living outside of the US or GB, over here everyone is at least a part-time alcoholic and the only way you might get negative comments is if you drink something non-alcoholic in a bar

Not saying that it's better, it's just weird where you attach your fragile masculinity to

It just gets worse the longer you look at it oh my god

[-] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

I'm convinced Quora is either an LLM test ground or a CIA op to try to make people dumber/people sound dumb. It literally came from no where and was shoved on us all yet I have never heard a real human say they use it.

Vs Yahoo Answers, people were shitposting on there constantly, posts felt and looked real, were dumb but in the "I'm actually don't know this" and not in the "I'm being wrong to upvote my opinion" way, and was "organically" picked by way of Yahoo being some people's default site already.

Having been in British pubs before, having some eyebrows raised by your drink of choice is a badge of honor. They can call me gay all they'd like, at least I get to eat food with actual seasoning and flavors.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

definitely a video game boss, because I would run, jump, climb and put maneuver like 30+ guys just to humiliate this shit wizard.

my guy used a lot of words when he could've just written "Wikipedia-Fascist" as his bio

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

"Liqour"? What's that!

Proof that the anglo something something saxons something anti-britishish something greater doggerland.

[-] Philosophosphorous@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

its hilarious how the platform essentially forces these people to admit they have no qualifications, yet they continue to post the most objectively incorrect takes in the most condescending way possible

[-] Tiocfaidhcaisarla@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Ricky Tack go on Quorarators

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

I am once again asking you to just let people enjoy the things they enjoy.

Imagine imposing your woke gender ideology on a goddamn inanimate drink. Yes, milk has a lot of estrogen in it but we all know that's not why this dork is doing this.

If you're so bitter and spiteful over feeling compelled to drink something that you hate then... maybe instead of ordering some drab, awful slop that you have to force yourself to swallow you need a bright, flavourful cocktail that fills you with joy and excitement?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
