  • I've been listening to Lovecraft audiobooks and at no point he mentions Jewish people in any of his work. His racism and hate was very blatant towards black people, native American and foreigners, especially of Asian origins. In one of his stories, he explicitly attack kurds, black and Chinese people all at once.

    I genuinely want to know where people got the info that he hated jews. I mean, it's not like it's something Lovecraft wouldn't do, but what perplex me is his hate for Jewish people is often the only thing people mention, while his hate for black and Asian people was so much more explicit in his work.

  • American can either be like : 9/11 is like the worst day in the entire universe lifespan . Don't ever disrespect it, ever!

    Or

    I ate Mexican tacos and a few hours later, it was like 9/11 all over again in the bathroom. It was so bad that I almost melted my toilet. The keyword is almost, cause we all know jet fuel can't melt steel beams.

    There's a weirder type of people that are not even Americans and act like the first type.

  • "Tested on mices" is the The biologist equivalent to the programmers "it works on my machine"

    If humanity ever perishes and the next dominant species ends up being mice, the discovery and translation of our research will usher in a utopian world for them.

  • My PC with 4GB of RAM and an HDD is barely holding with linux mint. Tbf Mint isn't the problem, it only takes 32% of ram compared to the 60+% of a debloated windows 10. It's the other apps. Running a browser along anything else and Linux mint starts to struggle, even the built-in apps like the file manager and the text editor feel like they're gonna crash the computer at any moment because of the random freezing/ delays.

    My advice would be to try upgrading to 4GB and installing an SSD. Your old computer will likely only support SATA SSDs, which have a max speed of 500MB/s, but it's far better than the 30MB/s at best that the HDD disks give.

  • When you learn a new language, you acquire its vocabulary. The etymology of the vocabulary is often irrelevant and can sometimes be beneficial. For example, when I started learning Spanish, I discovered that most French words ending in -al and -tion (a language I already know) are the same in Spanish. This means that I have instantly acquired hundreds of new words in my target language.
