It definitely smells like that, except maybe just anti-"woke" or anti-minorities instead of just anti-women?

I'm with you. Even YouTube is classified as social media (which I guess it gets closer to with shorts and comments and everything). I definitely think that, this, and Facebook are categorically different, even if they're all "social media"

Same. Except it's usually more, like, verify an obscure fact or something.

And yet here you are.

No, no, no, no, no.

Not no claim. Just... No legal claim.

Of the finished property, probably. A property with a giant, abandoned project on it isn't worth nearly as much.

You know that old E=mc² equation? That's actually only the simplified "rest" half of it. The full equation that relativity gives us says E²=m²c⁴+p²c². Meaning if it has energy, it definitely has mass (m), momentum (p), or both.

For a massless particle like a photon, that means E=pc, and its momentum is proportional to its energy and therefore frequency/wavelength.

They're just going to write all the articles in lojban.

It's about taking money from people who like spaceships.

Okay I did some math. If the gun shot a single photon with all the energy of a .50BMG from an M2 heavy machine gun, it would have about 1.2e-4 Ns of momentum. For reference, the bullet it's compared to would have 38.3 Ns. So the photon has about 32000 times less momentum than a bullet. Do with that what you will.

I know it's playing the syntactic role of a noun, that's what I said. But it's playing the semantic role of a descriptor. The "thing" being described here is a suspect, one that is white and also male, as opposed to a male who is white and also suspected.

Syntactically, the word male was a noun. But semantically, it's still just describing the suspect, rather than identifying the thing to be described.

He's not quite as bad as all that. He's an ass, but he's self aware enough to at least see when he'll be perceived as the unreasonable one and back off. I honestly don't have much of a relationship with him at all at this point, beyond saying hi and bye. My family has what most would consider a big get together every week, my nine siblings mostly showing up with their double digits of kids, all hanging out and having dinner. Without that, I lose a rather large portion of my small introverted social circle.

Mostly, I'll stick with going when I'm comfortable and leaving when I feel disrespected. It's shitty, but it's something. And I can continue growing my circle elsewhere too. Joined a game night group, I see my friends from next city over every now and again. I'll do okay.

Yeah, but if I ask a third grader which way is right, they'll know and they won't be able to tell you why. This is normal.

It's called "capitalism". You should avoid it if you can.

I mean, the US medical system is terrible in basically every way, but it's nice to know it's worse than everyone else in this particular way, too.

I expect there's probably the "rich folks" version of your open asylums that are marketed like "mental health retreats" or something and cost as much as a house, but generally if you don't have the luxury of shopping around reviews for the hospitals you're staying at, you'd just wind up in a "closed" one here. And the person who needs to check in because otherwise they know they won't eat for a week probably isn't checking reviews.

Because fluent speakers of a language know the rules even if they don't understand them. Why can you have a big green dog but not a green big dog? Because that's the way the language works.

Frenchwoman and Frenchperson are both ridiculous enough to try, but maybe go with Frenchie just to see if they'll punch you.

Québécois then.

Welcome to language my friend. Always has, always will.

Because the police never try to dehumanize "suspects" and "perpetrators".
