- Comment on When voting for judges in elections, how are you supposed to know which are good? (Since none of them publicly express their political opinions, judges are *supposed* to be neutral) 1 week ago:
Same. Heritage Foundation involvement is another red flag.

The Jeff Wayne’s War of the World’s live tour did this. Richard Burton the narrator had died. So they had a giant head hanging over the stage that they projected video of him narrating on it.
That show was crazy in person. The head starts at about 8:30. youtu.be/wqDJiIWhpPM
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 2 weeks ago:
My problems with the progress flag and the trans rainbow flag are not with the groups or ideas they are ment to express.
First like OP I think they are bad flag designs. To busy and lack the simple design a flag should have. I also just don’t like the look.
Second there is value in a consistent recognizable design like the rainbow. I spot all sorts of variants and often don’t know what they are supposed to mean.
I also don’t think there should be spefic meaning to the parts. Saying this color stripe is this group and that color is another group is problematic.
The rainbow colors were meant to symbolize broad inclusion. Everybody under the rainbow. Red isn’t gay, blue isn’t lesbian, etc. (I know some have tried to add that after the fact).
When you start adding spefic groups to the flag you start having included groups and excluded groups. So as much as I support trans rights and think they belong in the community I don’t want any spefic group in the flag.
You then get groups that are not included and want a new flag to included them. Like we are seeing with the trans flag causing groups to want the progress flag. Pretty soon the rainbow is going to look like nascar with logos everywhere.
A simple consistent flag with the message of broad inclusion is better.

I’m of the option that the original rainbow flag is still the best. It was meant to include everyone under the rainbow so trans people and others are already included.

Pie is a set filling in a crust. Cake is a sponge with optional glaze or frosting.

38 digits of pie gives youv an error of less then a hydrogen atom in the circumference of the known universe.

Good news for her. Cheese cake is a pie not a cake.
- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 3 weeks ago:
FFT was a DARPA project. It alone probably makes all their funding worth it.
- Comment on is white light "white" because that's what our start emits? 4 weeks ago:
So white light is when your brain sees a roughly matched signal level on all three color channels. So white would be all of whatever color receptors we evolved for the planet. It’s more of a signal overload than a color.
We actually can’t tell the difference between the mix of primary colors and the actual color. Take Cyan at about 490nm. Looking at it triggers your red, blue, and green receptors in a spefic set of levels your brain reads as Cyan.
However your brain can’t tell the difference between a signal at 490nm and the right combination of 440, 540, and 580 nm. So for example a tv can only show 3 colors but your eyes and brain can’t tell the difference between that and all the natural colors.
We are the most sensitive to green because it’s the wavelength least used by photosynthesis and most plants reflect it. So we evolved to be extra sensitive to it. Camera sensors are usually 50% green, 25% red, 25% blue.
A small number of women have a mutation allowing them to see yellow. So some women can tell the side difference between true yellow and a primary color mix.

What’s your favorite Stewart Raffill movie? Tell me it’s not Mac and Me.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 5 weeks ago:
Yeah the budget was cut a lot just before shooting started. I think the director and cast said it’s going to bomb so let’s just have fun.

I’m in the minority where Chronicles of Riddick is the only Riddick movie I like. Such a neat universe.

They changed and killed off Black Noir so it’s going to be different.

They won’t say that but watch some of the cast promoting the final session of The Umbrella Academy. You can tell they knew it was bad.
- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 1 month ago:
More people need a transplant than there are donors. A lot of people die waiting for an organ. Some people are willing to skip the wait list and get their organ from non willing donors.

Yeah we stated to get some answers in season 3 and they were dumb. I have no faith in the mystery now.

Nah I had good friends with me.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
My cousin was raised super religious and sent to religious schools that barely taught anything. When she graduated high school and went to a real college she flamed out hard.
She couldn’t keep her grades up because she hadn’t been educated well. Flunked out and moved in with a tattoo artist living in a trailer. Got pregnant a year later and decided to keep it.
Ended up working at a call center to support the baby and her husband who was over 20 years older. He ended up dying in his 50s so she moved back in with the parents.

Kings Quest? I played them on pc. They had stuff you needed the manual for but that was it. Did they change it for Nintendo?

I’ve seen some bad poly breakups. Once where the three all had a falling out. They jointly ownend the house they lived in together. Three were a few months where they all would just stay in their room as much as possible.
One of them finally managed to get a loan to buy my friend out of her share. Now she refuses to be dependent on a partner for housing.
- Comment on sus 2 months ago:
Yeah my fluid bonded girlfriend had a condom break with her other boyfriend. So she just told me and we switched to condoms until she could get retested. No big deal.
If we hadn’t been poly it would either have been a I cheated on you conversation or worse she exposed my to possible STD without my consent.
- Comment on sus 2 months ago:
Yeah. My polycule is small but my friend is in a big multinational one. They have a google doc spreadsheet with STD results and sexual relationship tracking (fluid bonded, barriers, etc).
