I just realised I'm not entirely sure what stores/transmits energy in photos. Obviously the frequency of the photon is important, higher frequency is higher energy. But does light have amplitude? What would amplitude even mean for a photon? In water it'd be the height that the wave reaches Is there a limit to the amount of energy that could be contained/transmitted by a photon?

How do you keep on living while knowing that you will die?

    It's hopeless isn't it? We complain about destroying the planet and being a horrible species, but both you and I are part of the problem.

    Indulgence is selfish and being selfish is the reason humans have gotten to this point. But everyone's going to be selfish, so why shouldn't I be? There's no hope of the world recovering. Might as well have a metaphorical doomsday party.

    I hope I can have a peaceful death. One without horrible pain and fear leading up to it. Killing myself seems like the best way for that. Instead of dying slowly from disease, I can shoot myself and be gone before the pain starts. But again, the fear of death is so horrible... No matter how much I think about the fact that it's just nothingness, it's still terrifying. Before I was born I experienced nothingness, and it was fine. Returning to nothingness would be fine. But I'm so scared despite that

    Sorry that you've been through so much

    I have latest update Windows 11, the latest update Google Chrome, and my PC hardware is:

    • 3070ti GPU
    • Ryzen 7 5800x CPU
    • TUF Gaming x570 motherboard

    So not really old hardware. But anti-aliasing sounds like the right answer, and it makes complete sense. Now I'd like to see what a webpage looks like without it!

    I'm starting out as an intern and don't really know what my boundaries should be. I'm trying to do a lot of stuff so that I seem valuable, and the company will hire me. But I can't keep up with other things in my life. I know that they'll probably expect me to keep up the pace once I'm hired full time, but I won't be able to long-term.

    Slacking off now or setting reasonable expectations would mean I'm less likely to be hired I think.

    But then again, my boss is a really nice and understanding guy. He hasn't pushed me to work so hard - I did that myself to increase the chances I've been hired. Just not really sure what to do.

    Finding the area under a function in calculus. Super cool to me, for some reason. Imagine trying to make a small grid and counting out the area under a curve - you'd still be pretty inaccurate and it'd take forever.

    I was taught never to get anything like this installed in me since it's almost definitely the mark of the beast. Eventually no one will be allowed to buy anything unless they have these high tech devices in their hands

    "Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name." - Revelation 13:16-17

    I'm not a Christian anymore, so I don't believe this. Looking back, I actually think I find it a bit silly. But that's what that other guy means

    Can anyone help me figure out why I find this song so gripping?

    [https://open.spotify.com/track/5erINbTb8XLbTjv85ajj6r?si=39461e7b3782496e](https://open.spotify.com/track/5erINbTb8XLbTjv85ajj6r?si=39461e7b3782496e) I don't really like the song, but something about the singer's voice really gets to me. Feels almost like the precursor to a panic attack. I really wanna figure out what exactly makes me feel that way - if it's the voice editing, the rhythmic delivery, the melody, or something else? All the above? Edit: Song's name is Happyface by ALASKALASKA
