Feels like many of my followers could use these images in some wonderful memes. Or in flirting. Or you can just be happy knowing that the Deaf community tends to be very queer-positive and that even "mainstream" apps teach LGBTQ+ terms, etc.
But also, yeah, I know some of you -- even hearies -- are gonna be dropping these screenshots in non-ASL conversations, heh. 🤟
In a gift economy, wealth is understood as having enough to share, and the practice for dealing with abundance is to give it away: In fact, status is determined not by how much one accumulates, but by how much one gives away. The currency in a gift economy is relationship, which is expressed as gratitude, as interdependence and the ongoing cycles of reciprocity. [...] the economic unit is "we" rather than "I", as all flourishing is mutual.

Digital planned obsolescence (of video games) must end!
multiplayer games need more casual gamemodes. and by that I specifically mean:
@tempest aw that’s very fair. I get so frustrated by math because it feels impossible for me to learn anything about it by googling. like if I have a question about chemistry or economics or sociology or computer science I can probably find an answer within 10 minutes if not faster, but for math it seems like you have to learn it in a predetermined order through one textbook after another and that is just extremely not my learning style tbh
okay so, I’m glad that they’re remastering Deus Ex 1 but I don’t think I like the new look at all tbh. it looks like an Xbox 360 era game and not in a good way. I actually prefer the original’s look a fair bit over this
computer science: a quaternion is an angle
mathematicians: nono you see a quaternion is a four-dimensional associative normed division algebra over the real numbers
computer science: a normalized vector is 2-3 numbers that add up to 1. it’s a helpful way of defining a direction, like a character’s travel direction in a video game. they’re actually really easy to calculate and understand
mathematicians: ummm no actually there’s no such thing as a normalized vector, but a unit vector is defined as [eldritch garbled equations with no further context or elaboration]
if math could be explained in a way that everyone can understand it would be called physics
math is actually a scam. nobody knows what an integrand or an antiderivative is - they’re all just pretending in order to seem smart. all those Wikipedia pages? pure technobabble. all that weird squiggly notation? no rhyme or reason at all
that’s why all math technobabble is exclusively explained in terms of more math technobabble. there are no plain English axioms that everyone can understand - it’s technobabble all the way down
JRPG fans love increasing numbers so much that Squenix named all of the Final Fantasy games after increasing numbers
“kas wtf are you talking about”
I have no idea it’s just in my WSL login message for some reason
