It’s because the sport is now about handicapped distance to stop people from just overshooting the hill entirely. They could just build bigger hills if they wanted more distance but what’s the point? With no handicap it just becomes about who has the balls to jump closest to the flat without breaking both femurs.

Isn’t the proton CEO a trump bootlicker?
I am definitely not a rule follower by default in the sense that I identify that many rules are just a framework for compelling obedience and preserving power hierarchies. But then shit like speeding and running red lights or driving recklessly makes me furious, because these rules are not tools for subjugation or oppression in any way, they are protocols for safe coexistence which sometimes create extremely fucking minor inconveniences.
I honestly believe people who drive aggressively are just impotently asserting agency in a world they feel beat down by, because they have literally nothing going on. It’s one of the most pathetic behaviors commonly present in the modern world.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath?English
69·12 days agoThis thread is wild simply because I don’t know any adult humans who actually take baths, and I have honestly always assumed the reason they exist at all is for washing small children.

3·28 days agoThis is called compute dispatching and is super common. I have done a whole bunch of DSP implementations where you use a CUDA or AVX kernel depending on availability. Or you dispatch to standard library or even Python kernel otherwise.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader?English
41·1 month agoWhat more evidence do you need that hasn’t already been leaked? There’s not going to be a notarized letter which says “I, Donald Trump, Fuck Children.”
On the other hand, there is a fucking birthday letter to Epstein where Trump very clearly does a “wink wink we have the same secret wink wink.” Like it literally calls his relationship to a known pedophile a “wonderful secret.”

This is a picture of the Amine heroine sailor Moon sleeping in a bed. The meme is meant to indicate that if given a choice in the matter, OP would rather stalk young girls and watch them sleep instead of whatever activity they had previously agreed to, which has now been cancelled, thus allowing OP to pursue his true passion.
Honestly this is a great way to figure out the next round of layoffs.

Eh, a significant portion of the anti work crowd does seem to think communism is when no ditch digging. This is why communism really requires specific material conditions, because as long as tedious, dangerous jobs exist, there will always be degrees of worker alienation, no matter how much effort the state puts into propaganda which attempts to convince them otherwise.
