- Comment on Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app 2 weeks ago:
I also have been attacked by an ex.
I can see both sides - if it’s an app about suffering abuse, all should be welcome vs there aren’t enough women-only spaces online and those that exist are frequently brigaded.
Both have reasonable arguments. Likely a compromise where a filter could be set where you can choose to opt your posts into the women-only feed.
However, my argument would be this app is bad and no one should be on it. Even if all the content is true, a gossip app that covers legally questionable things is likely not a sensible place to hang around.

WordPress uses a taxonomic system you choose with a mix of the Settings page and how you organize your template hierarchy. To my knowledge there is no out of the box query url functionality in the core system.

Cone count is my guess. Of the photoreceptors in the eye - Rods see in low-light and cones see in color. Some animals lack or have different cones compared to humans. Hence why bees can see “bee purple”

- Comment on Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers 4 weeks ago:
"Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade as much as you are directing a current of power." ―Sabine Wren and Kanan Jarrus on the Darksaber, Rebels: s3e15 Trials of the Dark Saber
I’m sure there are other references, too, but for it to be a power current it needs to flow to and from a terminus. See also the Tagge Protoblade in which the energy circles around a metal core (internally referred to as the corn dog lightsaber) instead of being a sword

another note on the light Saber blade: it’s actually a long spinning loop like a narrow ‘0’ or the eye of a needle, which is why it doesn’t disconnect
- Comment on Project Diva 4 weeks ago:
great copypasta. fits any game.
for hearthstone: swap “perfects on 8⭐️” for “legend in wild”, “players on YouTube can get top 100 NA standard legend”, “why don’t you marry Unnerfed Jaina or Boulderfist Oger”
for destiny: “gone to the light house”, “solo dungeons”, “marry Eris or Savathun”
etc

- Comment on Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry 4 weeks ago:
Studies suggest this is an extreme minority, and stories like yours - while yours might be true (and be fair to me here, we’re just two usernames, we don’t know each other’s motives and biases), it’s often used to push reasons to defund homeless shelters and criminalize being poor.
Even if you have seen a homeless person (or imposter) do something wrong, it might be worth considering that being homeless is very difficult and often caused by pre-existing medical conditions or institutionalized discrimination.

to clarify I am speaking “culturally” not legally.
Most people go out for drinks and drive home.
- Comment on Let people enjoy things 🙄 5 weeks ago:
in my experience, culturally, drinking one (1) 4.8% ABV 33ml can of beer in Europe is drunk driving
Drinking two (2) 6.2% ABV fl oz (946ml) glasses of beer and smoking weed in the USA is not drunk driving.
Not defending it, just saying that it was eye opening how many people in the US get behind the wheel after drinking what they consider a small amount of alcohol

as written it should be pronounced
shw-meth-quey-em-ass-em
where the shw is throaty - is it different because of the language?
