More info here for those wondering. The person who apparently raped Phoenix is a dude named Armak.

Jick and Phoenix ended up marrying, and Jick has a bunch of bunch red flags and abusive things that resulted in them divorcing.

It seems like most of this was softly affirmed by Jick, but has been loosely corroborated by many people around with varying degrees of 'most of it's true, but there's some inconsistencies'.

Kingdom of Loathing... how I miss you sometimes.

Phenomenal! Thanks for proving yourself wrong!

I didn't present the evidence, ya'll did. It's on you, not nameless strangers on the internet taking a shit or doing other stuff.

Edit: Ornery_chemist was a good dude and proved themselves wrong! Hooray! https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/05/18/1251919831/sunscreen-effective-better-ingredients-fda

I'm down voting both of you because neither provided sauce.

Soap box <--- We have not been here for about a decade. Very, very, very few people who voted right wing are still capable of being swayed by almost anything you say, and the effort you put into it, likely isn't worth it. More Republicans approve of him now 87% to 92% than they did in his first term.

Adding from someone above. https://old.lemmy.world/comment/16391357

Someone did the math above.

So, a typical pupil is around 2 mm in diameter in bright conditions. With the Rayleigh limit that results in an angular resolution of 1.22 * 60010^-9 m / 210^-3 m = 3.66*10^-4 rad

At a distance of 5 x 3 mi = 15 mi = 24.1 km this corresponds to a point to point distance of

tan(a/2) = (d/2)/l

d = tan(a/2) * l * 2 = tan(3.66*10^-4) * 24100 * 2 = 8.8 m

So in conclusion, with regular, human-like eyes he could discern points that are at least 8.8 m apart in the best case scenario. Discerning hair color from the color of the clothes would need a much higher resolution, and the horsemen are probably not 10 m apart from each other either. And again, this is a theoretical limit, real-world resolution would probably be significantly lower.
