Which instances are we talking about? I’ve not seen this debate crop up on Kbin or Beehaw.

On one side men who may not be the most well informed about women issues; will get immediately defensive at being compared to a large animal known for tearing people apart and eating them alive.

Nah. Defensiveness in this context is a red flag because it is transparently obvious why a woman would choose the bear. It needn’t be a strictly rational choice; it’s a vote of no confidence in men earned through lived experience. The fact that it’s even a question should be a seen by men as deeply sad: a reminder of the work that must still be done. The very act of trying to convince a woman of the error of her choice is a sign of a failure to understand the nature of the problem, the exercise, or both.

This is by no means what bears are known for. Black bears will frighten off easily. Brown bears are dangerous, yes, but much depends on the nature of the encounter.

It was never going to end in a productive, calm or rational discussion

It already has, but thanks for the self report?

That’s a referral to a series of specialists and probably an MRI or two at minimum. Cancer is a deeply shitty way to die, go talk to your doctor ASAP.

Bah, these modern homeless aren’t putting in the effort to make proper Shanty Towns like they used to. /s

Cool, I’ma go tell my wife something we disagree on is idiotic and we’ll see how it goes. Should be fine, right? It’s not combative!

What an idiotic comparison.

.

…is incredibly reductive and combative. The world needs less of that, not more.

Be the change, homie.

In any case, do recall that many of us are in enterprise environments where we’re not the only decision makers. Plus, FOSS without reliable support contracts isn’t workable for many use cases. If something in FOSS goes tits up none of my customers will be satisfied with the great discussion I had with the devs about it and how they’ll totally get to it after Furrycon.

You might not be paying for software in money but you’re going to pay for it, one way or another.

Dorn as an alarmingly competent Weasel was pretty nuts.

Aren’t most farms corporate operations now?

Tea. Just make tea. You’ve effectively ruled out almost everything else.

Some people have made their ADHD (or “neurodivergence” more broadly) a core facet of their identity and worthy of pride and praise instead of an issue to be managed like diabetes or something.

It’s a coping strategy in reaction to all the negativity they’ve endured. So they go a step past acceptance into “actually no, it’s a good thing!”

Sorry bro, it isn’t. And the more severe it is, the more clear this becomes. Life demands certain things of all of us that require executive function and the side effects of ADHD like creativity and hyper-focus, are not worth being unable to remember to pay your bills, hand in your homework, or complete basic household tasks in a timely manner.

We give ourselves grace, we love ourselves as we are sure, but we just can’t start pretending our farts smell great or we lose all touch with reality.

Just get a scale and weigh your flour. Much more consistent results. 120 grams per cup.

Here’s the bit that chills me:

Representatives from the Kremlin, the Russian defense ministry, and the Russian embassy to the United States did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the issue.

If they’re not denying it immediately that says they think there’s some utility in not doing so.

Honestly I’m here for a CA/OR/WA Western seaboard alliance. Hawaii can go back to being governed by natives but can ally with us.

Off topic but I love that people still remember Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

[Insert lengthy, nigh incomprehensible diatribe on why, well acthually, Qatar isn’t practicing slavery in the very specific and coincidentally convenient meaning of the word I invented 5 minutes ago]

[Insert picture of pig shitting on itself]

[Insert insult and throwaway line about CIA propaganda]

There, I think that covers the bases for the thread, don’t you?

Okay but Obama with Spike Spiegel’s hair though.

As scientists age, they begin exhibiting symptoms like takes on why other disciplines are totally doing it wrong, and how whole fields of study are bogus. Please take care of your scientist as they approach end of life. Particularly noticeable in Physicists, but found in most STEM fields.

In Japan. One of the least religious nations on earth.
