The character jesus was not a real person

I think it’s generally accepted that Jesus did exist, as his baptism and crucifixion were documented by third parties at the time.

The concept is much older than the word we use today.

One of the earliest known vegans was the Arab poet al-Ma’arri, famous for his poem “I No Longer Steal From Nature”. (c. 973 – c. 1057).

Like “vegan” isn’t even a century old yet, it was made up in the 1940s by some guy who thought vegetarians weren’t good enough, and he set whatever rules he wanted to.

Maybe you forgot what community this is, chief.

My kitchen faucet does this. It’s a 2-axis lever. Y axis is the temperature adjustment, X axis is flow. As long as you leave it set to the same Y position when you turn it off and on, it’ll be at the “last used combination”.

Chang’e-6 samples contain iron oxides, previously thought to be absent from moon, which may have been generated by impacts, scientists say

We had mostly 8s, but somehow a few 4s got added in. Here I am now, 30-ish years later, and my roommate has 4s in her kitchen, too.

Holy shit it just gets better and better.

An AI wouldn’t have made as many grammatical errors as OP.

Mopeds are motorbikes.

I think the canted touchpads are a nice touch, and inline sticks are the way to go (I can’t believe Nintendo and Microsoft continue to get this wrong).

Yeah but two weeks from shore and it’ll feel like the most appropriate song.

The wild part about it is that this technique required a very specific prism in the camera in order to work properly, and the tech behind it was completely lost to time and nobody else knew how to make that work, which is why we’ve primarily had blue/green screens with chunky matte lines ever since. The guys at Corridor Digital managed to recreate the effect pretty authentically, and it’s awesome to see the results of their work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQuIVsNzqDk

I hope he’s doing well. Thanks to the code he started, I’m on the Fediverse in the first place.

DEI isn’t intended to be “colorblind”, it explicitly suggests that employers give consideration to applicants from disparaged demographics, who may have otherwise been ignored during the application process. It doesn’t, however, imply hiring quotas; there is no such thing as “a DEI hire”.

Many people seem to confuse DEI for Affirmative Action, as evidenced above. This article explains the differences pretty succinctly: https://natlawreview.com/article/dei-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-v-affirmative-action-they-are-not-same

While Affirmative Action is often seen as a legal and policy-driven approach, DEI is more about cultural transformation and ongoing efforts to create a supportive and inclusive workplace. Both are crucial for building a fair and equitable society, but they operate on different levels and address different aspects of inequality. DEI initiatives, though can impact hiring, focus on the workplace and people in it. The intent is to embrace the collective, minimize bias and treat others in a respectful and understanding manner.

I like the theory that suggests that JonBenét Ramsey wasn’t killed, and was instead kidnapped and secretly raised by her captors to be a singer, and grew up to become Katy Perry.

Rocks are woke now.

Neither of those are DEI.

I feel like you may not understand what DEI actually is. What, precisely, do you think a “DEI hire” is?

I love this, and I hope they find success with this. I also hope they find a way to make it not look like something out of Ed Gein’s collection, because right now it’s hideous.
