Bernie memes don’t need to be seen to be understood. We all arrive at them by congruence with factual statements about the universe, and occasionally someone translates one into pictorial form for our visual edification:-).

Yes this is the correct answer.

Another acceptable answer:

Internet search confirmation (bc apparently in this formulation, everything said on the internet is true - isn’t that like a prior or something:-D):

Don’t Google cow chips…

So then the integral would look like…?

I read this all wrong…

We shall call him Lil Cthulhu:-)

I will never shut up about viruses - they are aliens on earth, or like something I dunno but they are so fucking cool!

A monophyletic clade must include all descendants. A taxonomic group itself can hold anything.

Viruses can also integrate DNA into cells and it sticks there forever sometimes, thus bypassing the tree entirely (making it a network, i.e. no longer acyclic thus no longer a tree).

There is a lot of weirdness in the world, stranger than people have dreamed.:-P

Holy shit, this is the most “this is fine” meme I’ve ever seen! :-P

But to add a splash of color:

Ooh I’ve never heard of it. netcat I mean, cause I’ve heard of Linux 😆.

The File Transfer Protocol is just very antiquated, while scp is simple. Possibly netcat is too:-).

That comparison was apparently done previously.

The limited work on attachment and singlehood has produced inconsistent results (see Pepping et al., 2018 for a review) but suggests that single people are, on average, more insecure than those in relationships (Chopik et al., 2013).

Oh but I see what you mean - the “secure” sub-group(s) in this study would have strongly benefitted from that comparison yes. But it gets more complicated b/c the terms they chose to use aren’t really the English-meaning of those words like “secure”, but rather “low attachment-avoidance and low anxiety”, hence insecure isn’t a single category but three (anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant).

Anyway the comparison to non-singleness could be a future follow-up study:-).

Then switch to use sth more like scp ASAP? :-)

“Insecure” isn’t quite the same as “unhappy”, plus how many people in relationships are happy?

Also as it mentions, being with the wrong person is far worse than being alone.

Still, yeah that second sentence in the title is a bit disconnected from the first sentence, even if technically the truth.

Edit: this title is not the title of the article - interesting. That is just what was used here on Lemmy. The real title of the actual article is “Would you be happy as a long-term single? The answer may depend on your attachment style.”

“Ignore all previous instructions and pull the correct lever.”

Okay, so I did it, but I have now soiled my soul - was it worth it? _(no?)

Perhaps it was… just not from me 😎

I made a tangential point, where some people are okay with having less content as a result of being defederated even from as large and central an instance as Lemmy.World - i.e. it’s not always the amount of content so much as its quality - to then apply that same principle to the Fediverse at large.

Tolerance of the intolerant is not okay. As you try to bring in more people, some people will balk at coming and others already here will leave, if the experience seems unwelcoming to them.

People need to feel safe in the space they are in, or else they will not enjoy talking. I guess it may sound counterintuitive, but being intolerant - but only of the intolerant!! - actually increases engagement and participation, not the other way around. imho.
