Inspire, maybe, just by pointing out someone’s behavior in as gentle a way as possible. Although the effectiveness will very from person to person.

Teach, definitely not. Repeating what you’re told to think, say or do is a fairly opposite thing.

No for an orthogonal projection, because literally every point in the plane centered at H and normal to (AH) (so dihedrally perpendicular to the plane given in the problem) could potentially be P. In other words, it could project to H, or a point off of P perpendicularly to (AH)

You don’t really need math for that one, it’s just spacial reasoning, which you can’t really directly teach. I suppose just the concept of solid angle vs. dihedral angle vs. face angle would be good for everyone to know. To formally prove it, it seems like you’d need linear algebra, which they don’t usually teach in high school anyway.

Now, if you can use oblique projections as well, it’s pretty trivial to find one that’s “tilted” such that any point not already in the plane maps to a given H - the projection can proceed along any set of parallel lines through the space, and there’s always a line between any point X and H. Mathematically, you use the fact that X-H must be in the kernel space of the projection, and the standard formula for constructing a projection operator from a basis complementary to the kernel space and one in the plane it projects to.

I mean, we live in it. It comes up in practice fairly often.

Do-ups and buns and things are nice, too. The history of using them for modesty tells me that’s a minority opinion.

Yep, although I’m getting used to them over time. It still seems to be confined to people who are very “alt”.

On the one hand, it does look weird up close, or if done poorly. On the other I can see the potential in being able to have whatever kind of eyebrows you want to go with your look.

I’m going to guess literally dead. Human skin isn’t very permeable, by design.

What is icky is that some women have made such a huge deal about them that it gets borderline unfair for men who don’t want to bother with grooming or those who cannot grow a full beard.

TIL that’s a thing. Beard culture mostly feels like men competing against and/or encouraging other men. And old ladies are pretty direct about fucking hating them.

Tabs were literally designed for indenting, as far as I can tell.

It can go too far in the opposite direction, though. I was raised in an environment where men doing literally anything besides showering a bit was gay.

Depends on your background. If you’re from a Jewish or Muslim family pearls will be clutched.

When they’re done badly, it’s very noticeable and terrible. When they aren’t done, it’s fine. Not everybody is looking for curves and puffy lips. Presumably, there’s a bunch of successful injections you never notice, but on the balance that’s not a very good record.

Oh really? I didn’t know that. Okay, never mind. But, like I said, it was inevitable.

Yep, giving it a quick look, that definitely does look like the account of a deeply miserable person.

No problem, and happy cake day!

It’s growing one. The dislike of bots and one-liner posts seems like it could actually stick around as a form of etiquette, although it’s too early to really say. A lot of readers will remember the poop post a couple years on, too, which counts.

The political bent and heavy tech-orientation are just a reflection of who the early adopters (and devs) are. Ditto for any extra civility or insight on the part of the people posting.

The situation of international anarchy in which individual states exist. Except there’s nobody dying in wars on Lemmy. And not even anyone dying indirectly yet, as far as I can tell, although any time you let people talk to each other there’s a continual risk of it happening.

The Lemmy devs should focus on making Lemmy better and faster, not bloated with things like that.

As a bot, sure, why not? Apparently you can opt out of seeing them if it gets annoying.

Honestly, I have strong suspicions about how dumb and cliquey that space was. Normal people understand context and give each other leeway.

I’m talking about Thiel. Nobody else at the same level would match that description as far as I know. He basically wants cyberpunk corporate rule to be real, and thinks everything bad about Silicon Valley is good, probably because that’s personally affirming for him.

Vincent Bollaré hasn’t even come up, are you answering the right comment?

For reference, I’m in Canada, and I’ve been hearing about Thiel for years - well over a decade. Albeit never on the front page of anything. The main time I hear about Arnault is when I use him as an example of a quiet, little known billionaire, although I think I heard about it when he tried to leave France. I just looked up who the Bollaré family is now.

Dealing with the way the world is is tough. I wish I could tell you how to feel better, but I can’t. Certainly not without knowing you, anyway.

Very few could actually totally isolate themselves, and there’s all kinds of people out there in the world that you’ll have to meet. On the other hand, maybe you’ll spend a more manageable amount of time being angry if you stay off of the internet.

It’s also important just to recognise why you’re angry. You’re probably thinking it’s obvious, but as therapists like to say, you’re feelings don’t come from other people’s actions, but what you think about them. So they’re bigots, what about it? People being bigots makes me sad, personally. And then, if there’s another way to look at things will depends on your values, and what you want out of life exactly.

Best of luck figuring it out.
