You can sense the towering intellect

I’ve gone a long stretch without cubing (think a bit less than a decade) and, while it was refreshing coming back to the hobby, with new hardware and seeing it becoming even more popular, I was forced to confront the fact that I don’t have much disposable time to practice.

While this is argument enough, I think, to prioritise focused practice, I generally find that the opposite becomes even more tempting: I generally just do a bunch of mindless solves, and while I do see myself improving, I doubt I’ll improve as fast as I could. It’s probable, even, that I’m reaching a skill ceiling for mindlessly solving.

I don’t know what this is, maybe just a cubing-related rant about getting older.

Eternity no celular (98% do tempo) e photon no desktop.

Não me oponho a deixar o photon como interface padrão, mas, por outro lado, penso como seria isso a longo prazo, dado que, supostamente, vem aí uma atualização da lemmy-ui que vai melhorar bastante a interface e, em qualquer momento, o photon pode parar de ser desenvolvido, visto que não é diretamente associado ao desenvolvimento do backend do lemmy em si.

Shocking

Esperado, mas triste. O paulistano médio realmente acha que o Boulos pessoalmente vai invadir e ocupar a casa dele.

Quite a sizeable jump from the last record

Edit: though a bit sad to see this done with CFOP. I do not personally use Roux, but I liked that the previous record was set with it. I think the method deserves to grow

Considering how much of my free time I spend cubing (a big chunk), I always found it weird that my dreams are not full of cubing as well. I have dreamt of cubing once; I remember doing F2L really efficiently, but that’s about it. Nothing interesting or out of the ordinary, so this may be an unsatisfactory answer for you.

Merda (literal)

Acho que foi isso, porque abri o aplicativo agora e já estava logado. Obrigado pela atenção, em qualquer caso, e pela excelente manutenção dos servidores e respectivos serviços

Pra mim, não rolou. Suspeito que tenha a ver com o fato de o XMPP ou o próprio Conversations não permitir maiúsculas, e o meu usuário conter uma

Such a great channel

Finally got around to reading this. And, yeah, as always, what I thought has always been thought of before, and better written also

Something you said that really resonated with me is, besides the experience with psychedelics, the way that people will treat you as a conspiracy theorist for deviating from the “correct” frame. I think this is a major barrier for escaping the neoliberal narrative, as it is very natural for us to try to fit in, to not be weird, to be accepted. Nobody wants, at face value, to be the loony commie and ostracised.

It’s fine, thanks for the recommendation anyway!

Love Jones! Do you have any hints, keywords?

Ah, yes, of course. I specified western because I had in mind certain people I’ve seen using lemmy, as I mentioned in the OP, which, as far as I’ve gathered, is populated mostly by westerners.

I think it makes sense in their head that there exists a dichotomy between left and right (restricted to liberal/conservative in a very US-centric way) and that they are on the left of that spectrum. Then, being “as left as can be” is a matter of being more what they consider left, which, indeed, they are.

God, I forgot how annoying I find this phrasing they adopt, especially when you know they haven’t done the least bit of reading to inform their opinions.

A bit unrelated, but this made me laugh out loud. Maybe this won’t make sense to you, but there’s this game called Victoria 2 (seems somewhat popular on hexbear) where the people can manifest different ideologies, and then there’s the more radical equivalent for each. Like, communists for the socialists, reactionaries for the conservatives etc. They made up what they called anarcho-liberals for balance reasons, in order to make the liberals have their radical versions in-game, and your comment made me think of categorising these so-called anarcho-liberals as radlibs.
