  • People fighting for Pluto that it should be a planet instead of a dwarf planet

    Ceres: 🥺

    Context: Ceres is now considered a dwarf planet, and used to be considered just an asteroid, but when it was first discovered it was considered a planet. That was in 1801. There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn’t. Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them. Ceres is round like a planet like Pluto. I’m not saying it should e considered a planet, I think dwarf planet fits them both nicely. As late as the 1950s Ceres was still sometimes considered a planet by some people.

    I have a sort spot for it. I love it.












  • I stopped asking in like 2020 for the most part. Everything I asked was getting.akred as a duplicate even though it wasn’t because someone believed an ANSWER on a different question answered my question (they didn’t).

    Plus StackOverflow Meta has been a fucking joke for years. They removed a site from HNQ because of a tweet. Why are they listening more to random Twitter users than folks on Meta?

    And the whole Monica fiasco still has me upset.

    But seriously. Every time I asked a question on StackOverflow I’d spend like 30 minutes wording it correctly and looking for duplicates. I’d find things that were sort of duplicates and explain preemptively why they aren’t. And every fucking time some doofus marks it as a duplicate. I just can’t take it. Like it literally makes me so angry even thinking about it. They had a problem with their humans LONG before AI came around. If they’d fixed that problem they could’ve really positioned themselves nicely when AI happened as a boutique place for humans answering humans. But no, their culture cultivates assholes who believe they’re following rules to the letter.
