So asking it to fuck off is the best we can hope for.

What are you doing?!?

You want to go with slightly condescending, like you are giving the person the benefit of assuming they will recognize their behavior is ridiculous or dumb if you just point it out, and they just didn't realize yet because they got wrapped up in their mind with the nonsense.

For example: What are you doing? While motioning vaguely at the Huskers.

Actually they sell light bulbs that have big zappers built into them. They work great with can lights. You cycle the light switch to flip between white light, a dim UV but light inside the body of the light, and both. I keep one or two in the kitchen to get rid of fruit flies.

I thoroughly enjoyed that.

I'm not at that level of need right now. I think I will be satisfied browsing information on the topic for now. But seriously, thank you. That is very kind.

I know this even without the research. I have IBS, and my modd can change on a dime at the same time my gut changes moods. Like, if I get gas, or indigestion, it can be quite sudden. And at the same time my entire demeanor will flip like a switch. Sometimes before I feel it in my gut. Like I can be asking myself why am I so depressed and then the guy bomb will hit and I'm like oh, that's why.

Get your kids a damned night light. For hells sake it is easy as sin to set up a USB strip light with a remote. And cheap too. I even have UV strip lighting in a few places, like my nightstand drawer, to keep the glow in the dark remote cover charged and make it so I don't wake my wife when I get called to work on the middle of the night.

Same with my wife. A tummy tuck results in swelling by the end of the day if she pushes it too much. She is still incredibly active, even works as a fitness instructor and her coworkers call her nuts for how much she does. But sometimes she just needs some targeted massaging and rest.

I'm a xennial and I feel the exact opposite. Although I do choose chat over other methods in some situations.

Einstein might have something to say about that. Not necessarily a counter argument. But something for sure. Or maybe his chauffeur...

Actually there are whole segments of science that deal with the problem of observation. Many things are altered by the very act of observing. Some of those are easy to understand. Like photons being used to observe things will drastically alter subatomic particles. Other are a complete mystery.

I am not qualified in the sciences, just what I've picked up a long the way.

Yeah, I completely agree. Except I feel like posting the automod screenshots should be the expected norm, not something that pokes the bear. That just seems like accountability to me.

I am no fan of American conservatives. But that doesn't mean I can't take criticism about all aspects of politics and consider the different viewpoints. Like you said, unacceptable for a news community to do this.

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee 2 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I recognize this as English.

I'll have to look into everything you said here. I may be old, but I'm always game to learn new tricks. Thanks.

 

Got suspended for agreeing that plotting to assassinate the president is "the lesser of two evils" compared with murdering one's own parents.
