I just knew the comments were going to be us tearing each other apart.

That'd be point of re-re-re-rehashing this. Zohran Mamdani, using the big S word, recently won a primary. So now we all gotta go back and drag through this mud some more.

I think like seven people on the bus would fight to swerve towards the cliff if they were told China is on the edge of it.

Protip: in small talk/office chitchat C is often functionally D.

For flooding it is a typical estimation from modelling from things like topography maps and known precipitation events. It is all rough estimations without collecting monitoring data, which is what funding for these agencies tend to be used for.

It requires a lot of information to accurately model and predict if any given river valley can handle 1.75 inches in a 3 mile radius in 4 hours, versus 3.25 inches in a 1 mile radius in 2 hours. How much does a 0.2 inch rainfall event in the previous 24 hours impact? What about 1 inch in the same area in 24 hours? (And so on.)

Your average RPG is typically a group of trauma survivors clinging to each other in a crisis situation.

At the same time putting a group of adults together and doing a thing is the basis of many game shows and reality TV.

I find marionberry jam to be the superior option along with raspberry, although I agree strawberry is better than grape.

However I have never tried white/gold grape jam (made from green grapes) which I've often seen spiced, so I imagine that might have potential.

Our current system is predicated upon catering to the wealthiest (0.)1% which keeps winning them elections. Abusers of power get to frame their own opposition, and so you have things like poor people being blamed for the excesses of the rich. So you have people start swearing off avocado toast they never bought in the first place instead of proper italian plumbing.

Trans-rights have never actually been an issue. Anti-trans people are the issue because they made their issue everyone elses.

Abusers deflect and redirect onto their targets so they never have to defend themselves. It isn't that trans people want to survive, it's that there's motherfuckers that don't want trans people to exist.

'Do the thing' is using the tools a user has at their disposal to block other users. Communities can block and ban users too.

Defederation over moderation is not the thing I am suggesting. Especially not as part of a multiyear campaign perpetuating a bad-faith feedback loop.

That's why instances, communities, and users can be blocked and banned. If 'their conversation' is not allowed in 'your space' then do the thing and move on.

Through an arcane formula the stonkmancer converts hopes and dreams into shareholder value.

Now, now it is only a Totenkopf if it is from a distinct region of Germany.

They're extracting value, not making it.
