Huh?
I can't imagine how "pretty good" could mean "better than good." Most of the examples posted here are talking about how something relates to your expectations, but that's not the question. Yes, "pretty good" is often used to describe something that is better than expected, but that doesn't make it better than "good."
For example, it doesn't make sense to say "$50 is good, but $100 is pretty good!"
I do think "pretty good" is often used as an understated way to say that something is very good, e.g. "Yeah, Messi is pretty good at soccer." However, that's a play on the actual meaning of the phrase, and should not be construed as the actual meaning.
As I understand it, the primary reason that there are women-only events is because some people worry that having only open events would discourage women from participating at all. The reasons why women might not want to participate in open events seems to be related to women and girls historically not being encouraged as much as men, and therefore being weaker performers (as a group) than men. Additionally, there have been issues with sexual harassment (see the recent lichess article "Breaking the Silence"). It's understandable that some women would not be comfortable competing in that type of environment.
I think we need a concerted effort to bring competitive chess to a truly genderless paradigm. I understand why there are currently women-only events, but it's not hard to imagine a future where all humans play chess on equal footing all the time. The human brain is the star here, and the flesh and bones wrapped around that brain are inconsequential.
I got this comment on another thread that answers my question:
The following people get a report when content is reported:
The community of the reported content
The instance administrator for the community of the reported content
The instance administrator for the person who reported the content
The instance administrator for the person who was reported
This makes my queue a mess at times, especially because federation is not instant and many apps cache content. I’ve had people on Beehaw report content on Beehaw that was already removed hours ago. When someone spams a bunch of content across communities on the fediverse (such as today with a prolific spammer) we can sometimes have dozens of reports for the same user because of all the reports generated above.
Thank you for clarifying this. I'm going to post this information over on that thread just for visibility. Thanks again!
There's some interesting questions being raised about the report function over here: https://tkohhh.social/post/10726
If this is true, what is the admin of the reporting user even supposed to do? Surely I'm not expected (or even able?) to go Bigfoot on somebody else's community because one of my users reported some content over there. I feel like I must be missing something.
Oh. So how would I report it to the community mods?
Yeah, that's what I was figuring as well. This is one downside to not allowing downvotes... they would get buried pretty quickly if we could downvote them.
Not a car expert, just a guy that learns how to do something when it needs to be done...
I don't know how relevant the "why" is... you've got a leak, and the easiest first step is to inspect to see if you can figure out where the leak is originating from. If you can figure it out, then fix that. If not, the next easiest might be to just replace the coolant lines. If it's still leaking after that, it could be either the radiator or a gasket.
Good luck!
I think the logic is that you, by virtue of the fact that you made the comment (or post), agree with the contents. If you comment or post but don't agree with what you wrote, you could manually remove the upvote. Alternately, you could just not make the comment to begin with.
