There is no general convention in mathematics and linear algebra to index from 1. It highly depends on the department and person and it’s becoming more common to index from 0.

Nah I won’t spy on my neighbours, and I live in an apartment complex. Cameras make people even more paranoid from what I’ve seen, and I’m kinda glad that my country has strict rules on them so they’re not everywhere (yet).

I’m afraid that someone will break into my house. It’s a completely irrational fear but that knowledge has never helped me. I panic from each weird sound I hear when I’m alone while if someone else is in the house I don’t worry and just assume the sound comes from them. I barely have any expensive items so I’m mostly just scared of the possibility of a physical confrontation. I think I developed this fear from watching too many detective shows as a child.

Yeah

I have friends in Gaza too, I know what it’s like. And I know Palestinians in my own country who have family that are being killed and they are obviously the most determined activists you’ll ever meet because it’s the only thing they can do to help their people. But yeah it’s rough. As I said, I cry all the time about it.

I cry so often nowadays and try to just let the emotions out when I’m alone so I can function ‘normally’ in public. Idk what is the best approach to deal with the depression and sadness. I just tell myself that being afraid and sad means that I’m human and it motivates me to not give up the fight.

I do think that we all deserve a distraction sometimes and taking a break from reading the news sometimes can actually help us gain strength to fight harder (depends on the person I suppose).

I was referring to the last time we had a discussion on hexbear about a possible refederation with blahaj which was a few months ago. The drama around the defederation wasn’t really relevant for that discussion as it was a long time ago. Blahaj’s admin is open to federation with hexbear because we have a huge trans community and it would be nice to connect them with the community in blahaj, but due to the issues I mentioned it’s not really in the best interest of our trans community to federate.

Chasers are people who fetishise trans people. Trans spaces often attract people who won’t stop talking about our body parts which gets very uncomfortable.

Hexbear has very tight moderation to make sure it’s a comfortable place for minorities and people who don’t like interacting with racism, misogyny, transphobia etc. I browse blahaj.zone occasionally and its moderation is just not good. The trans communities attract chasers which makes me not want to post there, and in 196 I regularly come across posts that are misogynistic or transphobic and have been up for days. I always report them and they often (not always) get deleted after like a day, which in my opinion is too late because the harm has been done (a 2 day old post should have been removed whenever a mod came across it).

On hexbear I’ve not seen posts that were so blatantly misogynistic or transphobic, and posts get removed much faster. This is why many trans people in our community don’t want to federate with blahaj.

It just means phone is in sleep mode so you don’t get notifications.

You can divide the debate into several topics and let the candidates choose for which topics they’d like to be included in the debate. Something like 5 candidates per topic is a bit more doable but obviously it would still not be as easy to follow as a debate between 2 candidates.

She’s a multi millionaire, not as rich as the others but still definitely not part of the working class.

Germany, land of unnecessarily capitalising words, doesn’t capitalise its own name?

Depends on if the integral is integrated in the text or if it gets its own area

Yes. I have a personality disorder that makes me want everyone to like me so I’m always nice (sometimes to the point of being flirtatious) to strangers and people that haven’t offended me greatly. Obviously it doesn’t work on everyone.

Easy, just cover the whole planet with cement

I’m pretty sure @[email protected] was being ironic there

That’s not how decolonisation works.
