ShadowAether, in How fluent do you think one have to be to be considered "bilingual"?

Um the first part of 2 and the 2nd part of 2 are two very different things. I know lots of people who pass the language test to get into college but make a lot of grammatical errors. Also basically require spellcheck/chatgpt to write a basic email. Also even my roommate makes grammatical errors in conversation and she has to do her job in her second language. You seem bilingual to me, seems kind of silly you seem to think you need to spent a year in England or something to be considered bilingual.

Fredselfish, in What series did you rewatch most often?
@Fredselfish@lemmy.ml avatar

West World, Supernatural, The Boys, Breaking Bad, Justified.

Speaking of which a new Season of Justified coming out soon.

On Supernatural seen every episode at least 3 times and some of my favorites at least 100.

West World season 1 and 2 I watch every other month. (And yes I know it been removed but I own the dvds of the entire show.)

How do you have time for that?

@Fredselfish@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t know I am kinda boring sometimes I will rewatch the same shows over and over I do that with movies too. Be honest I don’t have the time to do all the things I want.

On Supernatural remember show aired for 15 years been fan since day one and been off the air for 3 years. So plenty of time to rewatch my favorite episodes.

On WestWorld it was a great show and season 1 is awesome.

Justified is just great and on The Boys I rewatch right before a new season aired. Same way it started with WestWorld I mean each season was 2 years apart. Then when I am in the mood I will rewatch it. I seen season 3 and 4 twice but thats it.

If you saw the amount of books I read you probably be flabbergasted.

One thing I don’t have enough time for is my writing ( I literally have 3 novels I need to finish editing and one need to finish writing.

Also playing video games. I still have not finished Dead Island 2 and just got the new Zelda game but haven’t finished the first one for the Switch.

And now writing all of this reminds me that I need to focus on my editing instead of being here on Lemmy.

Oh and how can I forget that I am building an Rv Park on top of my day job. I don’t know how I can get anything done.

Sharkapotamus,

New season of Justified?!? THANK YOU. I’d have had no idea.

Yes he will be in Detroit. Justified Primeval it will be called. 8 episodes coming out this year. There a trailer.

csolisr, (edited ) in What are some useful or just cool stuff to memorize?

Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit:

  • multiply by 2
  • remove 10%
  • add 32
baconeater,

This is wrong? Taking 20°C as an example. Following this formula gives 48°F when it should be 68. Could you perhaps be supposed to add 32 instead of 12?

ips,
@ips@infosec.pub avatar

Adding 32 is correct.

linearchaos,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it’s supposed to be c * 2 + 30

Today,

Thats a very close approximate and what i use when it’s numbers i have to think about for 5/9 and 9/5.

ips,
@ips@infosec.pub avatar

f = c * (9/5) + 32

linearchaos,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

I mean you’re not wrong Walter.

The concept is that it’s a formula you can do in your head most people aren’t going to spend a minute trying to work out 9/5 in their head

PhreakyByNature,

I mean… That’s just like… Your opinion man.

Nah, the speed of light in air is faster than the speed of light in peanut butter.

kafa,

yes, but that’s speed of light

csolisr,

Thanks for noticing the typo

thefool, in What online games can be played by 2 users?

www.boardgamearena.com has a bunch of board games, if you’re into that. I’ve played a bunch using my phone, and it works just fine.

A number of games require a premium membership, but there’s quite a few that are free

kuzcospoison,

This is great, thanks for posting, will definitely be checking this out.

cypherpunks, in censored?
@cypherpunks@lemmy.ml avatar

The Lemmy software is intended to be somewhat censorship resistant, but that does not mean that lemmy.ml is a “free speech platform”.

Like most instances, lemmy.ml has rules (they’re in the sidebar on the front page) and we regularly delete posts and comments which violate them.

That instance you’re talking about is intended to be a “free speech platform”, which in modern internet parlance is a synonym for “nazi bar”. One of the two admins of that instance says explicitly: “racism, bigotry, sexism is allowed".

Most Lemmy users aren’t into racism, bigotry, sexism, and the other things people there are into, so, most Lemmy instances have defederated them.

I hope this answers your question!

angrynomad,

So essentially it’s highly censored to defederate them. Not only you can’t view them using a different instance and post, but registering there, you can only interact with their instance. Lemmy needs a better method. I was thinking about this the other day, why is something as simple as blocking content on the users end or blocking x type of content not an option, even on registration. Even if there’s hate speech mixed in, freedom of speech should exist, but freedom to not hear it, should also exist. Essentially shadow banning, but done by choice of those who don’t want to hear said content.

Racism, bigotry, and sexism, exist in everyone. Maybe there’s just better ways to express it, or not to. But it’s cultural, people want to be with their culture, their people. When you force people to ‘accept’ everyone, they lose their Identity.

I really don’t think Lemmy will survive as everyone will be afraid of getting cancelled and defederated.

hoodlem, in What are some of the things you say / think to yourself when going through a hard time or dealing with uncertainty to help yourself along?

“I won’t always feel this way”

Sharkapotamus, in What do you use Vaseline for?

I play sports and always put it on my heels before switching into cleats. Prevents blisters. Works with new shoes too, while you break them in.

darkan15, in How fluent do you think one have to be to be considered "bilingual"?

For me personally, when you reach a level where you can think, and communicate in the non-native language (without doing mental translations back and forth) with enough ease and speed, no mater the topic at hand (meaning that even if you don’t know a technical or specific word you can make yourself understood), and even if you make grammatical mistakes or have an accent, the point of the conversation is not lost between participants, then you can consider yourself fluent enough on said language.

My native tongue is Spanish (could you tell if I didn’t mention it?), but I have consumed so much content throughout (and yes I did check how to spell throughout) my life only in English and practiced enough doing conversations both writing and speaking (even with an accent) on the internet that I can communicate with ease and be understood.

I have visited the United States a handful of times for around a month for vacations with family, so I can say that I had to communicate with native people outside the internet now, but I haven’t had any formal education except a few very basic English courses in high school.

InEnduringGrowStrong,
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

By now I think in either, but not always the one I mean to speak in. So sometimes I’m looking for words in my native language and I only have the English one in mind.

fuzzybee, (edited ) in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Definitely factorio, but I can’t tell you how many hours. I started playing on steam, but then downloaded it from factorio.com and had multiple installs so I could play different mod packs. Steam says 1100 hours, but it’s got to be 3 or 4 times that, total. I’ve played multiple saves that took several hundred hours

Silaor,

Do you know of a factorio community on lemmy? I tried looking but didn’t find anything.

fuzzybee,

I subscribed to !factorio but it doesn’t have much traffic.

AlexWIWA,

I’ll join too. Let’s give it traffic

Silaor,

Thank you, subscribed!

arcrust,

Same here. Steam says 200 hours. Which is a lot for me. The next closest is NMS at 50 hours.

My play time is also higher because I have played many hours offline and then reset my computer so it didn’t track that time.

It’s such a ridiculously addictive game. I regret nothing.

fuzzybee,

My longest NMS save is 80 hours. I mostly just do the expeditions.

kuzcospoison, in What online games can be played by 2 users?

I’m sure there’s quite a few traditional board games that have online or app version, like risk for example. Iirc there’s also Scrabble, scythe, Catan, and I’m sure others. I can’t speak to the quality of the apps but I would recommend just searching for any games you’d be interested in playing and seeing if there’s a version on the app store.

Tschuuuls, in What online games can be played by 2 users?

Geoguesser?

Monthly subscriptions would be a harder sale if everything was stored on your machine.

housepanther, in Advantages to selfhosting a Lemmy instance?
@housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com avatar

Do it! I struggled to get mine going. But in doing so, I got a lot better using docker.

jetsetdorito,

One day I’ll learn how to use Docker

TheSaneWriter,
@TheSaneWriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com avatar

Docker’s honestly really easy to use, is there anything specifically challenging you about it? I’d be happy to explain how any of it works or how to use its features.

housepanther,
@housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com avatar

It’s only easy if you know how. If you’re just learning it can be challenging because documentation is spartan and makes assumptions.
