Who do we associate with the power being resisted against in reality? Governments? Politicians? Police? Corporations? The ultra wealthy? Religious institutions? One person's "bad guy" is another person's "good guy".

When a company takes on shareholders, whatever goals, mission, or ethos they had is erased. They now exist as a vehicle to make as much money as possible at literally any cost. That's it. Was nice while it lasted.

As much as I wish he would land in jail, I doubt that will be the actual outcome. I bet the republican talking heads know it too, but they can't resist cashing in on the fear of it to fire up their bases.

I also meant my initial reply to be more sarcastic and rhetorical, but I forgot that doesn't come across online so well. Hope you feel better soon though.

I appreciate that you used the word homosexual, but the person you replied to didn't so I was confused as to why you thought that's what they meant. 🤷

Sorry, I guess the confusion is partially between you and the person you were replying to. The chart says LGBT, but "gay" is often used synonymously with LGBT when referring to the community (i.e. gay pride month instead of LGBTQIA+ pride month).

What did you think the T in LGBT stood for?

We won't need guillotines if we can just make it trendy for billionaires to do dumb shit like this. 👍

The gravitational force equation actually takes into account the mass of both objects and their distance. The only reason we can throw out a gravitational constant of 9.81m/s^2 for most objects on Earth is because the mass of the Earth is so large that the mass and/or distance of the other object would have to be equally large in order to make any significant change in that value. Technically though, a bowling ball at sea level falls slightly faster than a bowling ball at the top of Everest, as does a bowling ball and feather from the same height. The reason is more accurately that they are experiencing slightly higher or lower gravitational forces, which cause them to accelerate (in conjunction with all the other forces acting on them).

I switched my desktop to KDE Neon and I've been enjoying it. Does it have some minor issues and rough edges? Yup. But I think Windows also has some things it handles poorly that people have just learned to cope with so well they forget about them and paint it as the "perfect" OS that always "just works" and expect Linux to live up to that unrealistic standard.

When I built my Windows 10 PC I had to manually install a ton of drivers, including the network card which is the biggest pain, then go into the registry to disable a bunch of "features". Some user friendly OS. 🤷

Mia has seen my wings many times on magic mushrooms as well as seeing my eyes glow blue

Well that explains everything.
