@ben cubic spline interpolation is popular, but probably not a good idea in this case because gender emission spectra can depend on a lot of unpredictable higher-order effects. even a superposition of delta functions gives you a more useful approximation.

and, of course, keep in mind that gender spectra can vary a lot with degree of excitation, pressure, and temperature. ensure your gender is in a thermal steady-state before taking sensitive measurements.

@ben let's not forget the polynomial approximation, either, that can give you as many vector components as you like and will eventually fit most genders quite well across the visible spectrum if you really crank up the number of terms.

a gender dropdown where the only option is Other

Funny trope in movies is that they make POC say that to white protagonists to make it less white.

if you reply to my posts about taking care of human need with horseshit about overpopulation youre catching that block

i dont know about you but white people talking about how there are too many humans gives me the heebie jeebies

politics and race 

@Absolutely_Blakely this also ties in so heavily with the “Irish were slaves” myth. Loads of wealthy Irish people were slave owners, and loads of Irish people who emigrated to America ended up becoming cops and kkk members.

@realtoddhoward i love and care for you but every time this post places itself before my long suffering eyes the thought of doing grievous bodily harm to you does cross my mind. i say this with love, of course

this is the energy i'm tryna embody in this year two thousand and nineteen

I think it's a matter of personal metabolism. There isn't really a universal "too much".
