Fair enough, poor fuckers don’t deserve that

Oh COME ON. This guy is actively mocking Taiwan now, too??

Damn it, Muskrat

They’re just going to try to make one that’s ever so slightly better, and then patent it again

There’s an app! Good to know!

Yeah, you could put a rainbow neon cord down there, you’re not seeing any of it in -20

Fair enough!

Can someone please explain how to move to ecosia on an Android mobile device, but in tech-stupid-ese?

Is that specific to the lightning or also the usb-c?

Soup, salad, or sandwich. In that order.

They have no concept of “human” or “mother”

Actually, they do. Maybe not in the words we use for it, but a cat can recognize their mother and can determine humans apart from other species. It may not be an complex psychological process of ranking them, but they recognize.

I don’t think they question it. Just like if you feed a stray cat, they will often continue to come back

“Human gives food. I stay with human.”

It was this evolutionary trait that allowed us to domesticate animals in the first place. I don’t know if they have the complex psychological capacity to question or doubt it to that level. It’s a trust bond, not a superiority one.

That is a year that was exists, yes. Your point?

Rather than jump to “trauma” here (and believe me, I say this as a person with PTSD), could you elaborate on what you mean by “fear”?

Me neither haha. I just use the ToR Tumblr format. But I’ve also been transcribing for over two years and I’ve done over 100 of them (70 on reddit, Lemmy uncounted). So it’s just second nature to me by now

So, transcriptions should be separated by a line break whenever there’s a new major section, like the beginning of the transcription after the title, between Tumblr posts (not between comments), etc. That means hitting enter twice for a new line (only hitting it once doesn’t fully separate them), then typing “—”, then enter again twice. It should look like this.

If you’re still confused, click the 3 dots and then hit “show raw text”, if that’s an option on the platform you use.

Every section of text should be separated by pressing enter twice. This includes any paragraph breaks in the text, any new replies or comments transcribed, or when you’re writing the body of the message after you write the username. The transcription should read as similarly to the image as possible.

The format goes right after the image transcription line, usually in italics. So “Image Transcription: Tumblr post”

Usernames should be written in bold (two asterisks on either side), and placed above the text block, separated by two enters. You don’t need to write “says”, it’s implied! (It doesn’t say “says” on the original image either, but we still know what’s going on, right?). Here’s an example:

You’re doing amazing, keep it up! Transcribing can be more complicated than it looks!

Remember, screen readers read text by selecting each block of text and jumping between them as you select. By putting the username above the text like that, the user can jump between the name and the text to have a smoother experience in understanding it.

A few basic tips:

• Descriptions of visuals should be written in italics INSIDE square bracks (don’t include the brackets in the italics). Example:

[There is a large purple dinosaur with orange polka dots dancing the tango alone under a spotlight]

• Replies to comments should be written as embedded quotes, with an empty quote between the username and the text body, using “>”, “>>”, etc. Example:

User 1

This is a comment

User 2

This is a reply to that comment

User 3

This is a reply to User 2

• The ToR (transcribers of reddit) subreddit has lots of tips and formats for transcriptions on the info bar of the subreddit, I’d recommend checking it out! The discord is super friendly, too, I go on there from time to time for transcription help. Just be sure not to include the official ToR footer!

Just wanted to give you some tips to help you along the way! You’re doing great, thank you for helping make things more accessible!

Hey, did you want some formatting tips for transcriptions? (Former ToR here)

The original

(Know your meme is usually pretty good with that. I usually use it when transcribing)

Big enough that the heat from it would probably set a lot of things on fire and as a result mess with the atmosphere in other ways

Also, given the average puff is about 35mL of smoke, and there’s about 30 puffs average in a 0.5g joint, that gives us 1050mL of smoke in a 0.5g joint, or about 1.05kg (to unit transfer here) per 0.5g joint. There’s an estimate of 5.1480x10¹⁸kg (think five quintillion) of fluid in the atmosphere. So that would be an increase by a factor of about 4.9 quintillion. Converting the joint weight to kg gives you 0.0005kg per joint. So you multiply those.

Your joint would have to be 2.451429x10¹⁵kg of weed. 2.45 quadrillion kilos. For reference, the weight of all humans on this earth combined is about 390 billion kilograms.

I’m tired lmao someone check my work I may be stupid

Lmao I’m a grown kid who’s helping teach my dad a lot and it’s so funny to see the back and forth, to see him excited about his work softball team or messing something up. He’s one of those “always need to look fully in control” types so it’s refreshing to see him actually be human sometimes

Yeah, there’s a balance of “I’m not perfect, but I will always be here to look out for you” that has to be struck. Too far one way and the moment you break, the kids are gonna be scared and confused at what’s happening. And too far the other puts the responsibility on the child to take on a parent role (and believe me when I say that fucks you up)
