Don’t treat a gun like Tony Stark treats particle beams from an accelerator.

Urine is already diluted by water, so you’re most of the way there.

Words are fun. A related word would be lieutenant. There was some scifi detective series about a time traveler who came from the Revolutionary period into modern times and helped a woman cop. Mid 2000s? Anyway, they tried to be somewhat accurate and used the word as it’s pronounced for centuries before being Americanized, “leftenent”. And in looking it up, the history and arguments over when and why are themselves interesting.

So, canon.

Realistic C-64 users: “It’s a misspelling in an early Commodore document that just carried over.”

Rabid C-64 users: “It’s not a word, it’s an ACRONYM!”

Me: I didn’t even realize it was wrong or knew it was a thing, then or now. TIL I think I saw “kernel” in my mind.

So this should be posted on a subLemmy? Reddit has a large history of terminology. People have adjusted to saying communities fine.

I was using the “room” concept on Q-Link (Quantum Link) 40 years ago. You know, when we had to connect on slow lines. Uphill, both ways.

Either I’ve seen this type of thing before when he first went public, or it’s been some other famous person needing to do similar. Could be both, honestly. Leads to the same problem. Even money can’t save you in this kind of crooked system.

So compression of knowledge is lossy.

Shorter: You are used as a product for someone else’s profit. If you’re okay with that, don’t worry about privacy and security.

Whataboutism is pure cope. Deal with the now.

I guess it’s consent. The master/deity or their aide comes to the servant and tells them of master’s will, the great plan. The servant says, yeah, okay.

Yet another fail in writing. Why not make it so God and Gabriel give her the choice, and she adamantly agrees? Remove all doubt from the story’s plot. Or better yet, add some drama, have Mary unsure, and Gabriel explains the importance (not that it’s already planned, but why her choice is key to the direction of salvation and all that). And she with some thought decides to do it.

Oh, right… that would give a woman some agency. Never mind.

No, just debating which set of rules we’re playing by.

Yes. it can absolutely be spun that way, as I said. As most anything in the Bible can be. Let me ask this then. Could she have said no? And when would that have happened?

There wasn’t consent though. It can be spun that way, but biblically Mary was destined to carry, and screw any free will.

How can it be loss if the wall is still standing?

Going nude adds to the fear factor for the intruder. They know you mean business and don’t give a rat’s ass.

It’s a weak loss.

Thanks for the feedback. I wish Amazon made it easier to provide different selections. I basically have to resubmit the whole thing every time. But I did create a “basic” cover for the small/cheap one.

Animal was always my spirit animal.

That’s the “I might be okay” moment, followed by the body’s too early, “oh, we’re there?” at the last few feet. Sometimes you can distract the mind a bit more by focusing on something else while you make the last steps. A lot like how flying works in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you have to notice something totally off-topic and forget you’re about to hit the ground.
