The worst is when a language formally has a disambiguating word but then speakers all just decide to not use it.

When talking about a group but only one individual of the group is present you can still use y'all.

My feed is currently like 2 people, plus a bunch of dead accounts from people who dipped their toe in but didn’t stay.

For me a lot of those toe dippers were subsequently found to have settled on BlueSky.

Thank you! I've been asking that question for years and you're the first to provide an example. Point conceded.

Why are you expanding the age range beyond what you quoted? Seems like a bad faith tactic. Try harder next time.

At an incidence of 2 for every 100,000 getting surgery, I have to assume that between the individual, their parents, and the doctors involved there was some concerning factor that pushed the surgical intervention into something more than simply treating the emotional/mental body dysmorphia. And I'm not so pompous as to try and inject myself into that process on their behalf.

a bunch of people didn’t show up and fucking vote .. and Bernie lost

It's obnoxious how often that's why the conservatives win.

The other candidates gradually stepped aside to allow Hillary to run. The big one being Joe Biden not running as it was her “turn”, allegedly after the deal between the Clintons and the Obamas.

Apologies, but I can't tell if you're trying to supplement my point or pose an answer to my question.

Which state's primary votes did the DNC alter or override to give Hillary the nomination by popular vote instead for Bernie?

Society ain't happy with plastic surgeries performed on children

Which statistically isn't a thing that's happening and I've never heard anyone argue in favor of.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/gender-affirming-surgeries-rarely-performed-on-transgender-youth/

The study found no gender-affirming surgeries performed on TGD youth ages 12 and younger in 2019. This was expected, the researchers said, as current international guidelines do not suggest any medical or surgical intervention for TGD individuals prior to puberty. For teens ages 15 to 17 and adults ages 18 and older, the rate of undergoing gender-affirming surgery with a TGD-related diagnosis was 2.1 per 100,000 and 5.3 per 100,000, respectively. A majority of these surgeries were chest surgeries.

I assume holding the vote early is so incoming MAGA senators don't get a say.

 

Lately when I forced to login to FaceBook they will sent a WhatsApp message to my phone number, even though I don't use WhatsApp. I'd like to see if there is really an account with my number. I tried going to the web client but it seems to be requiring to pair with a device app.

Up to one in four patients who are unresponsive after suffering serious brain injuries might actually still be conscious – indicating more patients may be aware of their surroundings than previously realized, new research suggests.

This state of 'hidden consciousness' is now officially known as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), where cognitive (or thinking) abilities aren't connected to motor (or movement) abilities. Researchers have been looking into CMD for several years.

However, 62 percent of an additional 112 patients who were visibly responding to instructions at the bedside didn't exhibit the expected brain signals showing responsiveness – so the researchers suggest their methods still don't detect everyone with cognitive function.

 

As seen in the screenshot, there's a lot of wasted space in landscape mode on my tablet. I don't see this issue in the feed. I've only noticed it when viewing it editing posts and comments.

 

This would pair with the existing setting to use the in-app browser. The user would have to have enabled it in their chrome flags as shown in the screenshot.

 

I noticed my phone running a bit warm todayx.so checked the battery usage and Liftoff seemed be a bit high. Clicking on Liftoff from this screen, it set for Optimized usage. I have v0.10.10 installed from Play store.

I just can't even with this.

About 24 percent of polled Republicans say the charges in the classified documents investigation make them more likely to support Trump, while 21 percent said the same with regard to the 34-count indictment related to falsified business records in a Manhattan court case.

I mod a sports league community, and I was trying to put team logos in the description. But after the fourth one the editor would not upload any more. I tried saving and going back into the editor but it still wouldn't.

I was shrinking them down to 20x20 pixel png files, and I saved all the links to the ones I already uploaded so that if I can get this resolved I won't be re-uploading the same ones.

I was able to add more today, but again it stopped after a few. The 4 image refs in the editor was probably a coincidence vs the number of uploads, and I didn't count the number of uploads. So there is for sure some limiting happening, I'm just not sure what in specific. I wasn't able to add more using an incognito window either, so maybe it's a limit on uploads per day per IP.
