While that may be true in many cases, it is important to remember that straight people are perfectly capable of being hateful, homophobic monsters. Placing all the blame of LGBT hate on LGBT people, openly or not, isn’t nearly the whole story.
I actually think your hypothetical smoker is a great example of the opposite. Someone who lived it, understands the struggle, and ultimately regrets their choices is exactly who you want to hear from. It’s why the really cheesy don’t smoke PSAs don’t ring a chord with most people, they don’t feel genuine.
I don’t think Thoreau is some enormous hypocrite, but I do absolutely understand why some people might feel bitter about it when they learn the greater context.
IMO the laundry thing is an easy example of the larger issue of extreme privilege. Being able to live on a rich friend’s property in the woods by a pond sounds awesome. I’m sure I would love that and it would do amazing things for my well-being. But that’s just not a relatable thing for most people and it can really sour the message.
Melting without breaking. It’s cheese and emulsifier mixed together so the oils don’t separate out. People often use egg for the same reason when making cheese sauces.
Except, ideally, a PhD thesis. Which should contain a completely new piece of information for the world.
Very cool combination. How are you managing single sign on with all those services?
I couldn’t believe no one wanted to hear about increasingly obscure generative AI news so I made a whole project to prove it.
Open source is about ideas being freely shared and iterated on. Open hardware has benefits, making a lot of things more accessible to people. It’s not the end all of sustainability, but it doesn’t pretend to be either.
I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. Going to try it out today, thanks!
I would immediately vote for this if they managed to get it on as a ballot initiative. Voting in a democracy is a right, not a privilege.
Otherwise known as: boomers wanting to downsize are making a whole bunch of cash with which to do it and are finally paying a fair portion of their net worth.
Asphalt is pretty amazing given the amount of wear it goes through. It’s basically infinitely recyclable, very flexible, goes down fast, and is relatively easy to work with.
The article seems to imply that speed is relative to the star who’s nova formed the black hole. That speed from the headline is seen only for moments after formation.
It is entirely natural to want to not die. It’s pretty unfair to blame the victim (even a victim guilty of a terrible crime) for the suffering caused by a process they didn’t consent to.
IIRC 2 and 3 (and possibly 4) were filmed together.
Highly recommend meowwolf. I did the Vegas one on a work trip and it was a blast.
Discord movie night with some friends. Double feature of First Wives Club and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Basically their unit (or ship) gets assigned a special military PO box and the military takes care of it from there. USPS says you just pay like a domestic letter or package. It’s almost certainly subsidized by the military. I assume the other package carriers are similar.
I don’t believe it’s possible for a CA to decrypt TLS traffic with their private keys. They sign a site’s public key with their own private key after verification but are never given the private key itself. Public CAs only provide identity verification, they do not take part in the encryption process itself. Let’s Encrypt is perfectly safe in that regard.
Yes, mocking him by calling him gay, as an insult. I understand you don’t think that’s an insulting thing to be called and that he would, but using it in a derogatory way at all is still more harmful than helpful.
I’m not calling you hateful or anything, I just wanted to point out the issues with this very common argument.
