Simply build a Paperwork Organiz-inator

It was pretty popular and cool on Reddit. Hoping it gets some more love here too.

I second the Nerts recommendation because when I was a teen I played Ligretto (Basically just a branded Nerts) at one party and we all had a blast. To this day I wish I had the opportunity to play it again, but I’m not a party guy nor do I have that many decks of cards so /shrug

Recently I’ve actually been wondering how the hell researchers manage their citations for big projects, because a while back I started doing some research on the Cass Review, tripped on my own dick and accidentally ended up with 70-something disorganized citations (that I actually used) that were a pain in the ass to clean up.

I’m definitely checking out those first three software lol

Did the xLSTM end up going nowhere? I thought it looked pretty sexy.

She predicts the next token.

I did something like this when working support at Phillips

I thought it was funny but my colleagues and supervisor were not entertained lol

Sometimes you have to use complicated terms because you’re dealing with complicated ideas…

Other times it’s clear that the authors are just trying to pad the length of a paper and sound more pompous.

In Brazil we call this “enchendo linguiça”, which literally translates to “filling sausage”.

As someone who’s not too familiar with the bureaucracy of academia I have to ask: Can’t the authors just upload all their studies to ResearchGate or some other website if they want? I know that they often share it privately with others when they request a paper, so can they post it publicly too?

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare

It’s a shame that it doesn’t seem to have that many players anymore. It’s a lot like other multi-class shooter games like Overwatch and Paladins, but about three times more crazy and weird, and I had a ton of fun playing it as a teen.

I’ve heard Garden Warfare 2 is pretty good too though, so I’ll consider buying it at some point (when I have money).

Not sure how deeply positive it was necessarily, but as far as I can tell I changed at least one person’s life significantly.

When I was in middle school I learned how to solve the Rubik’s cube through online tutorials, and afterwards I was basically addicted to it for a while and I was messing with a cube all the time. One of my classmates was interested in learning how to solve one, so I drew a bunch of guides and taught him the terminology, and soon enough he was also hooked on the Rubik’s cube.

I eventually grew tired of it, but he kept going and learned how to solve all sorts of smaller and bigger cubes and pyramids. I bumped into him at uni a few years later and he had a cube in his hand lol. Last I heard of him he was even participating in some local competitions, but idk what he’s up to now.

Even if he ultimately gave up on his speedcubing dreams I can at least say that I introduced him to a cool new hobby that kept him entertained for several years.

Winter because I live in Brazil, which is a tropical and very humid country so the heat can get unbearable even here in the south where it’s colder compared to the north.

There are a few cities that get cold enough to reach negative Cº, but where I live it’s mostly between 10º-20º during winter so I just need some extra coats and more blankets and I’m happy. During summer I can only take off so many layers before it becomes illegal.

$15 is like 80 BRL and I don’t have a single cent to my name right now so…

Buy Minecraft, which apparently is on sale for $14.99. It’s not quite as fun when all your friends have the official version and get to play together while you’re stuck with an - *ahem* - unofficial version.

But in case you’re curious about the actual answer

Ages ago I was doing some research on the prevalence of different paraphilias (my main focus being zoophilia as I was contributing to WikiFur), and this was one of the few large representative studies I came across. There’s one more from Canada, but they didn’t ask about autogynephilia/androphilia.

Reasons…

It’s kind of ironic that Freud came up with this weird theory considering autogynephilia is more common in men than autoandrophilia is in women: The Prevalence of Paraphilic Interests in the Czech Population: Preference, Arousal, the Use of Pornography, Fantasy, and Behavior

I’ve always wondered if some sort of decentralized, community-led system would be better than the current peer review process.

That is, someone can submit their paper and it’s publicly available for all to read, then people with expertise in fields relevant to that paper could review and rate its quality.

Now that I think about it it’s conceptually similar to Twitter’s community notes, where anyone with enough reputation can write a note and if others rate it as helpful it’s shown to everyone. Though unlike Twitter there would obviously need to be some kind of vetting process so that it’s not just random people submitting and rating papers.
