xylogx@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The horns emoji is the hearts emoji for boysEnglish3·9 days agoThats great! I feel comfortable using the heart emoji with my wife and kids, but for co-workers it can be a little creepy depending in the circumstance. I started using the blue heart, but that just caused confusion. I found the horns conveyed the thought better without being creepy.

And a grandkid or two would be nice…

That’s pretty amazing. Where is this?
Not sure why you got downvoted, it is a fair question. Real time multiuser editing is a powerful feature. That said it is really only needed a small fraction of the time for specific types of collaboration. Also, it can cause problems as well. Libreoffice Calc meets most of my home spreadsheet needs: calculating mortgage rates and future value of investments and such.

What has helped me break out of the spiral is to notice when I tell myself I am stupid and actively respond, “No I am not”

xylogx@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?English1·1 month agoOf course I want to think I would do better. Maybe I would manage to integrate with the local indigenous people, but the reality is I would likely die. Either way my knowledge of science and “advanced” civilization will benefit me not at all.
xylogx@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?English201·1 month agoYou would die. There are many, many examples of explorers from “advanced” civilizations getting shipwrecked or stranded in an area where primitive hunter-gatherers live. Unless they are saved by the hunter gatherers, they are doomed, despite their knowledge of science and technology. Joseph Henrich talks extensively about these examples in his book, “The Secret of Our Success”

Incidentally, the transcript from the Scopes trial is awesome. There is a book about the trial called “Trial of the Century” and it quotes from the transcripts heavily, a great read.

Rock horns. Shorthand for “that rocks” a more manly way to say I love that.
