Jordan Peterson as in “Being transgender is satanic ritual abuse” and “Transgenderism is a social contagion” Jordan Peterson?

Are you arguing in good faith or are you just a troll?

Yeah, more or less.

So…what are you supposed to take at this point? Because you’re not supposed to take the “nighttime” branded decongestants long term, and phenylephrine was recommended as an alternative to that.

It makes me kind of sad to see so many people happy that the accent is going away. It’s good to have diversity, and the thought of my “native” accent becoming extinct makes me sad. I don’t want bad people to have a claim to an entire accent and culture, especially since the death of the accent won’t do anything about the bad takes. There’s a lot that good about southern culture - taking things slow, being laid-back in a world that wants you to run around like a chicken with your head cut off, and forming tight communities with the people around you. I just wish there was a way to reclaim that without feeling afraid that people would assume I support the bad parts, too.

Why would you use an accent when it actively gets you associated with idiots / racists / conservatives?

There’s a lot of people who have been hurt by Southern culture, so naturally they reject that accent. A lot of decent people reject the accent because they don’t want people to assume they’re one of those Southerners. There’s also the aspect that you end up talking to people outside your region a lot more often than in the old days, so you learn to switch it off because people outside your region might not understand you well.

All y’all is broader, but I’m not sure how to characterize it. Like if you’re talking to someone who is part of a team, saying y’all could ambiguously refer to the whole team, but all y’all unambiguously refers to the whole team.

How well does this work? Like is glare / not being able to see an issue? How much of the wall color shows through, or do you have to have a special screen?

Trying to calculate if trans or just adorably clueless

I can’t imagine the pain of having your sight taken away, getting it partially back, and then having it taken away again purely by corporate greed.

Oh no, CrImInAlS. We’d better make sure only big corps can use this tech and legislate against individual use. /s

You good bro?

Blink three times if you need help.

This looks super neat, and would give me good reason to go down roads I haven’t before.

Pathfinder usually goes alright, but any mention of D&D 5e and all I get is "Ugh D&D 5e is so basic, have you tried ". I’m not judging your TTRPG system taste, don’t judge mine.

That had better be a waterbed. It looks like it.

The only head canon that makes sense is that Palpatine drained her life force in order to bring Vader back from the dead.

The only head canon that makes sense to me is that Palpatine used Padme’s life force to bring Vader back from the dead.

Because the hour lunch used to count as working, IIRC.

I wonder how this also plays into other dopamine-related diseases such as Restless Leg Syndrome.

There was literally an article either yesterday or the day before with the headline “AI being used to ban books in Iowa” or something to that effect.

I think this guy from the article has the best take:

Marsden has handled dogs since the age of seven, and following a long career as a stockman in agriculture, has spent most of his life around working dogs, training collies, lurchers and greyhounds. “I think there is a growing problem now with owners not taking responsibility for their dog’s actions,” he says.

“Not everyone understands how to train them properly.”

He says there have been similar concerns about potentially dangerous breeds over the years, such as rottweilers and dobermans, and that banning a breed may only shift attention on to a new one. “You take these off people and the likelihood is they’ll just move on to something else.”

What’s the alternative? “We need to look at getting more licensed breeding, so there is more oversight into where these puppies are coming from … People are bringing dogs in from other countries where regulations aren’t the same as they are in the UK.”
