How much energy does it take to go at it lol? I could jerk it 5 times and my wife could still turn me on like crazy 20 minutes later. It’s not finite like a budget haha, we’ll both be just as into it as ever, I’ll just last a little longer for having helped myself lol.
Totally. Every next safety measure from airbags to seatbelts are about adding extra inches, rarely even full feet, and they are shockingly effective.
Largely true, but it’s crazy what the difference of just a few feet of slowing down does (rather than zero feet of abrupt stopping) to acceleration forces. The crumple zone on a car only has to be 3 feet long to turn a 60mph crash from a fatality to a horrific injury.
Wow that’s interesting, cuz I share zero trust with the NSA, too.
That goose is so fly they call his feathers “up” instead of “down”
Dang, really thought that’d work…
“we used to think that this was what we didn’t know, but thanks to exhaustive and expensive research, it is now this that we don’t know.”
Which are sometimes as or more important than answers, but it does tend to reveal that it’s “turtles all the way down”
Just one more collider bro, one more I swear. And we’ll know everything.
Semenal album more like it
He’s got BPDFE
This is definitely making me Rage
Seems to me like the one locked door and the literal hiding room would be the two most important places to look. How did they ever consider the search done without going in these two rooms?
Specific strings of letters are filtered in some instances. So it isn’t that word, it’s the 4 letters that are being filtered out in the middle of the word. But apparently it’s only on some instances.
Lol yep, what a weird freaking place
Took me so long to figure out what the word around the “removed” was. For others (using a symbol so it isn’t removed again), I think it is “susp|cion”
Good to know, thank you! Yet more reasons to avoid it
I think the point is that to you, it’s just semantics. But, to use your example, given that some people have started intentionally using “female” in place of “woman” as an (arguably) subtle way to exclude trans women, it suddenly becomes more than semantics to both trans and anti-trans populations. That’s what Smotherlove is saying about “dog whistle” language only being transparent to the perpetrator and the victim.
So from your/my perspective (admittedly assuming you’re neither trans nor anti-trans), it’s largely a case of “a few rotten apples ruining it for the rest of the bunch.” What should just be a semantic difference has been coopted and intentionally weaponized by some, so all of us have to be conscious of whether or not we’re making that worse.
It’s also not a new phenomenon. Many epithets start as PC terms and then become offensive based on how a specific group starts to use them, notably, almost every one-time PC terms for Black Americans and people of color. Unfortunately, it’s basically the reason that, for at least 100 years, (responsible) individuals/media have had to change terms for many marginalized peoples every 10-20 years, with many other examples, like “Oriental” and the terms that predate it, and plenty of others.
The use of “the French” in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and should have been “the Fr*nch 🤢.”
