On the backdrop you mean? That would be from light refracting off of other places in the background and converging behind the gadget, partially illuminating the shadow.

Is “spring and fall” actually a set phrase or not? My actual not to pick was that “fall” only refers to the early part of the season, I just wanted to get a little more of the quote.

There’s also something to be said for the strength required to constantly operate a heavy body. I used to do a lot of community dance, and it’s so, so much easier to do that at a low weight.
Immediately post COVID, I danced for the first time in ~18 months after having gained probably 10-15 kg, and I was fucking wrecked. Since then, I’ve lost the weight, but I’m now a smoker. It’s still so much easier to dance now, and I don’t have a way to test it, but I would be surprised if I’m in better cardiovascular health now than I was then. I’m just lifting less weight with every movement.

Your source doesn’t say that at all.
Autumn and fall are used interchangeably as words for the season between summer and winter. Both are used in American and British English, but fall occurs more often in American English.

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. I’m desperate for any other way out of this mire.

Luckily, they might be too young to really remember it. One just turned three (so she may remember, unfortunately), and the other is under 18 months. I hope they weren’t watching.
I’m generally very squeamish, but I didn’t think the video was that bad. Then it kept playing in my head while I was trying to sleep. I have no love lost for Charlie Kirk, but I hope those kids avoid the video for as long as possible.

Oh dang, I saw that post earlier and thought it was probably just him repositioning his hands, but it really was my phone not having enough resolution.

My husband has a visually similar body type and has a very active job. He can do ten pull ups at a stretch, which is mind blowing to me. I’ve got a bmi of 20 and I’m pretty strong for my size (I lug around cases of drinks that weigh about half as much as I do regularly), but I’m nowhere close to a single pull up.
Even if this guy’s not a strongman, it’s possible to look like this and still be stupid strong. Just be short and carry your fat in your belly.

We already have drugs that increase breast size, they just have the primary purpose/drawback of inducing lactation.

It’s a reasonable thing to think from the way it was described in my physics class, at least. I fault people a lot less for misunderstanding something that even scientists in the field don’t really understand than for something like thinking the earth is flat.

- Comment on If fossil fuels aren't vegan that would mean almost nobody is actually vegan. 6 days ago:
It’s kind of revelatory that vegan is a shifting term, that means whatever it wants to mean for the believer.
Really? It’s not new, at least. Vegans love to disagree about what specific things are vegan- some are cool with honey, some are cool with nestle products made without animal products, and some are cool with anything they don’t pay for. Many aren’t cool with any of that, but don’t think twice about killing a mosquito in their home.
It’s an individual choice and you’ve got to decide what you care about and prioritize that.

- Comment on Reginald Fried Kentucky Jr 2 weeks ago:
Is this edited? He looks rough, even compared to just a few months ago. His job would still be stressful, but probably much less so if he were doing a good job. Pretty ironic that he’s harming his own health through his stances on healthcare while incorrectly attributing the poor health of the Americans to their own stances toward healthcare.

I had an aunt Julia growing up and my parents sat me down when I was four or five and they heard me calling her aunt Ju to explain that “Jew” wasn’t inherently a slur, but it could be offensive to people if I just shouted it randomly after my aunt. Based on that, I suspect they would have talked to me about slurs if it had come up, but I never used them.
I did once talk to my grandmother at around age eleven about seeing a huge Afro and she asked if I meant the person or the hairstyle. I complained to my mom about her being racist and she set me straight. Both of my my grandparents taught at colleges in the greater Boston area around the time they were integrated and my grandmother insisted on renting a room in their house out to black students who couldn’t get housing otherwise throughout my mom’s whole childhood and ended friendships with people who had a problem with it. She was just from another time and didn’t consider “Afro” to be an offensive term, probably because she was involved in civil rights through the seventies, when that was used by lots of black groups as a term of empowerment

And why does everyone assume that everyone cares about youth and has the same taste in appearances? Maybe she grew up a patriots fan and her absolute dream was to meet belichick, then they hit it off. Maybe he makes her laugh and he’s kind and good with his hands. Maybe they’ve got a super niche kink in common.
