Mom would call it “baby poop” green.
I’d call it pea soup green.
Or puke green.
Depends on what the color was on and howl inoffensive I care to be.

Context matters.
“Men make me uncomfortable.” Could or could not be sexist. It would depend on why one feels uncomfortable and how they act on that feeling.
It’s a very fine line.
Given the additional context provided by OP… yeah she’s definitely ableist.
- Comment on If I was to watch the next jake paul fight on netflix, but only watch the first couple fights and turned it off before watching him fight.Would they know? 1 week ago:
They wouldn’t even care.
Unless you were also grifting the free week trial thingy and not actually paying the subscription. But usually they’ll only offer that once per email account/credit card.

yeah. its ridiculous. Rather than accept that there’s some inaccuracies and that parts of the bible contain mistakes and say something like “but most of it is true” … they double down, triple and quadruple down. They have to get increasingly improbable theories to explain how all this evidence isn’t really real. Fossils are planted by satan, to lead people astray; there’s a massive World Order whose sole job is to keep this secret for some strange reason.
like. they could just build a rocket and launch it into space and see for themselves. Or some really simple experiments involving sticks and shadows. that allowed them to determine the distance of the sun from the earth, it’s circumference, and can be replicated with some lumber and fifty bucks in the gastank.

Also, they believe the earth is flat because the Bible says so; and the earth is young because the Bible says so, and that science is the devil’s work because it contradicts a book written by Bronze Age goat herders retconned by a guy in the Iron Age that got killed for telling the Roman’s he was king of the Jews.
- Comment on Any idea what might be going on with this print? 2 weeks ago:
It’s definitely being under extruded. As to what’s causing that, my first guess would have been a clogged nozzle… but if it’s happening not-at-random, it’s probably not that.
is there a way to see a log of hot end temps across the prior prints? it could be that something is causing the the machine to speed up putting out more plastic and the hot end struggling to keep up, though I’m just spitballing here.
- Comment on Filament splicing? Do any of you guys do it? 2 weeks ago:
if I want to torture myself and, hum, make a custom multicolor filament, yeah.
I prefer to respect myself, so I have a sign saying “Don’t” on the box of junk with the splicer and similarly bad ideas.
- Comment on Could there be additional forces at super low energies? Could a new fundamental force be discovered anytime soon? + other questions relating to forces 2 weeks ago:
Short answer? probably not. particularly when considering the second paragraph.
“the force” is not a fundamental force as described in physics. Speaking as a fan of Star Wars, don’t get me wrong, but The Force™ is bullshit handwavium to explain why the BathrobeRaverSquad can do the things they do. you’re not going to find some special force literally or proverbially fictitious that will let someone do the things they do.
If there was, we’d see that in the world today.
All of that said, our understanding of the universe and it’s nature is imperfect. It’s something we improved incrimentally getting better and more accurate models as we progress. it’s certainly possible that there is something new to be found, but it’s highly unlikely.

I mean, you can use a magneto hydrodynamic generator to replace the bits normally spin up by steam.
But, eh, it’s less efficient than a rankine cycle.

It’s okay, because you can get even more loot by donating to a temple; and everyone forgets it.
- Comment on Why do I always have "dreams" that give me anxiety (aka: nightmares)? Why do I never just get to re-live my happy memories in my dreams? Wtf brain?!? This is outrageous! It's unfair! 3 weeks ago:
IIRC, what you’re describing is called Lucid Dreaming. most people who lucid dream are aware, though some can actively control their dreams. The degree of control varies, though.

the idea that cheese affects your dreams is kinda… folklore. Most likely, it’s simply the act of eating right before bed is the problem. (your body doing digestion stuff affects your sleep cycle, making it hard for you to sleep well.)

As far as I know- and I’m far from an expert here- dreams are really just your brain trying to make sense of your brain doing whatever the fuck it is your brain is doing why you sleep. (maybe a de-fragmentation cycle to keep everything nice and functional? bad analogy, probably.)
in any case, your brain is trying to make sense of signals and synapses firing off, in what is basically a random pattern. so it cobbles together a reality as best it can and fit things to that.
Its also trying to maintain a certain amount of continuity with where you are. So, if you’re anxious while you fall a sleep, your brain is going to incorporate that anxiety.
Also, as Bigfish mentioned, the freaky/weird/anxious ones are more likely to wake you up so that you actually remember them.
In any case, I would suggest maybe changing your bedtime routine up and finding something positive/calming to focus on. crotchet works well for me. but it could be just about anything. a feel-good novel, or whatever. (I also suggest turning the screens off.)
might not change that the only things you remember are the unpleasant ones, but it might make them less frequent.

- Comment on Why do communities make 'unpopular opinion' based sub-communities, but can't handle it when someone gives a good one? 5 weeks ago:
Looking at your posting history, your recent post… probably violates rules 1, 4 and 5: no politics, shitposting is okay as long as it’s not problem, and no trolling.
the answer to your question is that there are differences between opinions that are unpopular and opinions held by assholes. Believing that ice cream sucks is unpopular. Believing that poor people shouldn’t spend money on ice cream is vile. Do you see the difference?
(Just to be clear… ice cream does not suck.)
- Comment on How do you respond to unwanted advice? 5 weeks ago:
If the advice is unsolicited, it’s u likely that they advice giver has enough context to actually give good advice.
There’s exceptions there (“hey, you shouldn’t lick electrical outlets”, for example. Or a more experienced person at work suggesting something like “hey, try it this way,”)
- Comment on When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two? 5 weeks ago:
Let’s say you like to do dorodamgo- Japanese art/hobby/whatever of making mud into polished balls.
Let’s say you make one ball of good clay… and another out of poop.
They look the same, but one is just clay and the other is utter shit.
- Comment on Was thinking of getting into 3d printing, doesn't this listing seem too good to be true? 5 weeks ago:
It’s been modded, which is always a crapshoot. It could be a stellar printer, or they’re lying, or they think it prints amazballs, but has really low standards. Or it could be even more amazing and their standards are just straight up OCD.
From what they say, the mods are fairly common for creality printers.
It’s also super common to mod your printers, especially lower-end brands like reality.
I would suggest asking if they could do a test print- and give them the filament to do it with. Something like a Benchy won’t take too long, or too much filament. Also if it comes out nice ask for what they used as print settings.
If it prints well, 150 is a spectacular deal.

Being called out for a hypocrisy is not hate.
You were literally telling me not to tell be how to drive (which, while I came close, I didn’t actually do,) while literally telling me how to drive.
I understand many states have some form of “slower traffic laws”… and explained why that’s not relevant.
There are many reasons why someone needs to be in the left lane- taking a left-exit, or the left hand fork in a split, or, you know, actually passing people themselves…. Or seeing an eratic driver behind them making it dangerous to get over.
I have to assume that CA law also says something about running people off the road because they’re not going fast enough for you. Generally, I assume everywhere does- for obvious reasons.
Even if you’re right, that doesn’t give you them right to drive recklessly and tailgate people. Which brings me back to the original point I was making: the kind of people who are angry at having to slow down… are unlikely to be polite and civil- they’re already demonstrating harassing behaviors.
- Comment on Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do? 1 month ago:
IIRC, the felony reckless driving was lowered from +30 to +20, during Covid after it became clear how dangerous people were driving. We saw a massive spike in roadway deaths because suddenly people felt like they could do whatever.
- Comment on Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do? 1 month ago:
Wow.
I don’t care what “the algorithm “ says, and you’re a hypocritical asshole for telling me not to tell others how to drive while telling me how to drive.
Now to be completely clear: I will always drive in a manner I deem to be safe. Not you. Not the asshole tailgating me because he can’t be bothered to to leave 10 minutes earlier.
And I can assure you: driving 50mph in a residential area is not “safe”. And neither is 90 in a 70 during rush hour. These are both staggeringly dangerous and imo, people who do so are on the level of those who drive drunk.

"What lane your in has nothing to do with speed limit… keep right… "
Left lane.
And your advice is actually somewhat incorrect, depending on the context your in. In more rural areas, sure. In more urban areas… there are dozens of reasons why you need to keep left- including taking a left exit.
Or, you know, like how at that speed your usually passing everyone else…
And just for the record, I don’t know where you are, but here… +20 is considered a felony. it’s incredibly stupid to drive that fast on a highway… never mind not on a highway.
people that go +20 and faster? They’re putting everyone’s lives at risk and statistically it’s only a matter of time before they kill someone. Hopefully something happens to teach them why it’s fucking stupid before it goes that far.
