Is it wishful thinking to say he was the first to say "thanks Obama"?

Rallies were always useful before media became its current centralized technological force. Due to people skewing things, it's still technically useful. All for the same reason it was useful for philosophers like Zeno and Jesus to have people just sit and listen. It's the public figure equivalent of an artist archiving the step-by-step process on how they made a work of art in order to add some assurance.

One reason might be that the Greek versions were made more for the Greek alphabet.

I myself have been wondering this. In my experience, try to settle disputes with people and they will consider peer speculation to be the embodied voice of reality, if anything. It's like the zombie apocalypse equivalent of bad judgment, and I only wonder what would happen if their "infallible" sources are stripped away.

If speaking from experience, I for one haven't ever been met with applause like that, voting here is anonymous and, if anything, we are usually scorned for voting third party.

There is no question about it once you realize the issue at hand involves abusing authority to spread unproven claims in a place where the one who the claims were about was mainly only trying to talk ordinary members out of suicide in a place that encourages suicide, and that you have three people who remain in authority who specialize in a place where people can do to vent about depression but who don't believe in the existence of minorities such as transgender people, which the three explicitly state, before stinks were made elsewhere.

Why would we?

It's rural here and I guess that comes with the implication that a lot more of the costumes are going to be basic. Regular vampires, regular witches, etc. So for a lack of a better word, I probably overdo it every year because I do it in the form of cosplay, which used to be normal before I inherited my current home and the social environment changed. I might be biased since they're a common subject in my art, but the main exception were some Pokémon characters, namely from Pokémon Horizons. I know one very well-dressed Liko and one very well-dressed Roy were wandering around telling people they were looking for treasure (candy) and the adventurer Lucius (using that character as a parody of how nearby is Bernie Sanders' childhood home, which itself is a hotspot), nods to the Pokémon Horizons series.

If my experiences have taught me anything, it's that the act of caring is gradient. Sometimes it's for the sake of onlookers that it occurs. I don't strictly encourage insults, but the real enemy so-to-speak is escalation.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I don't encourage insulting, but the most durable ones (and, by some peoples' definitions, more tolerable, often because they appeal to some kind of truth) are usually the oddly creative/specific ones. For example, there's the famous Shakespeare line "I'd engage a battle of wits with you, but I see you're unarmed". Basically what Dirty Harry and Sgt Hartman do. In contrast, you have things like the "F you" and the "a**hole" which just seem like you're throwing what you can find.

I'm a cultural Kiwi and don't recognize half of these.

In the case of dunny, I was trained on calling it the loo.

So I'm fairly social for someone like me and have done my fair share of talking to people as well as toward people, some talks being more passionate than others, so I guess having my odds of this reduced is a factor here when I say occasionally "projecting" will be brought up during a conversation. One should "stop projecting" they might say. It's always in an accusatory kind of context, with being described a certain way by someone else often being connected to the latter person fitting what they're thinking of.

Is this... a meme for a lack of a better word? Where does this conceivably come from? Seeing such a thing all the time, I can't fathom the mindset, it seems so faulty my mind groups it in with grievance misapplication. Why would someone play hot potato with things even deemed to be things nobody should be handling like it's second nature? How could someone in control subconsciously see instinct in this? What happened the last time this came up for you, when did it turn out to be the case?

 

This seems to be something people don’t always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that’s the case, change the setting and that changes too. In the places where I’ve lived, people often needed that mapped out. Where are they known in your rural locales?

 

To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.

 

There are some exotic foods we tend to take for granted exist. Almost every city for example has a Chinese restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, and maybe an Outback Steakhouse. But this isn't universal for some reason. Someone asked me if I wanted to go to an Egyptian restaurant and I was like "wait, they have restaurants?"

A question for all those who would say they consider themselves ethnically fluent. What are all the cultural categories of food you've had?

 

This refers to when two or more people encounter each other in completely coincidental fashion. You might notice your old classmate from three countries away is now your waiter in a place you had no reason to expect them in, and you might say "wow, what a small world". You might notice two people who you know from completely different spheres miraculously know each other. You might recognize by chance that your penpal has made a cameo at a venue you're at.

But what was your most profoundly coincidental encounter?

 

Unless on usurped or deceptive pretenses, I do not encourage the act of circumventing bans, and other people in charge would say the same.

That said, if someone gives off the vibes that they're in the business of it, it cannot be enforced as if it were an exact science. It can only be dissuaded based on certain definitive details. We kindly ask if you may give the benefit of the doubt, and if people (not us) have the authority to do so, they will act.

Let people higher up take care of these matters. Do not harass people or vent at them over such matters, and report people cautiously, not based on whims. Or as a list of rules once said...

"Remember the human" is as good a rule here as anywhere. Thanking all for their patience.
