As a python developer, I’ll accept the shower joke in stride. But who are these Esperanto speakers you’re shitting on?

The kind where people don’t write down their units until the end

I’m not Bi, per se. But if Ryan Reynolds was game… this might be about me too.

I like to think the reason the robbed guy didn’t shoot the robber initially was because the robber was less armed than him and it wouldn’t have been fair. When he stole his first gun, he must’ve thought “ohhhh, big mistake”.

Would be funnier if only scalpers bought it and couldn’t unload them.

I had an apartment where the landlord had clearly painted right before I moved in, and had done so with an ungodly thick layer of latex paint. That’s fair enough for the walls… I hope it wasn’t to cover up mold, but he was very thorough. He did paint over the outlets and some hinges too. But even worse he also painted the bathtub/shower combo. Like… the whole thing, including the sloped interior basin of the tub.

Not only is that fucking weird, it’s also a major hazard as ot turns out. Did you know that latex paint is very slippery when wet? I do now. Had to cover the bottom of the tub in adhesive strips of traction tape to not crack my skull open. What’s more, latex paint is not meant to be applied to bathtub, nor is it meant to be bombarded with hot water every day for months on end. So as you can imagine, shortly after moving in, paint would periodically bubble up and chip off

By the time I moved out, a little over a year later, almost all of the paint had peeled off the bottom surface of the tub revealing the heavily lime scale stained surface they tried to cover up. So glad they tried to kill me with a frictionless curved bathtub bottom rather than to replace, properly clean or even just leave the bathtub as is.

Or was absorbed. Returned to the mold from whence she came.

There is a kernal of validity to your point, but let’s not pretend like those things are at all the same. The difference between copyright violation for personal use and copyright violation for commercialization is many orders of magnitude.

Or my favorite class, artificer. :/

Don’t conflate a legal problem that is already not taken seriously and addressed enough with another thing entirely. Real wage theft is already illegal and pathways to remedy that wage theft exist as long as people take it very seriously. What is described in this meme is also a problem and also needs addressed. However it is entirely, 1000% legal to keep wages low while you rack in rescord profits, and many capitalists would argue that you should. By conflating an actual legal issue wish a subjective moral one, you make it easier to excuse the legal issue as just another subjective moral issue that can be ignored and exploited.

They are different things that have different remedies and different access to those remedies right now. You’re not strengthening the definition of wage theft to give more power to this new issue. You’re weakening both.

Not to your knowledge

“What is up, dog?”

Side note: the opposite of cat isn’t actually dog. The opposite of cat is goldfish. A goldfish loves water, is not fluffy, doesn’t exterminate every bird for sport, will never knock your favorite coffee mug off your desk, not bipolar, and I’m not allergic to them.

“women are not socialist.”

I’m not sure if that is technically misogyny, but I still want to apologize on behalf of my autofill.

Edit: If I’m more selective about the 3 options autofill gives me, it comes out more complimentary: “women are very nice to see if you want to lighten the world 🌎”

There are different forms of color blindness. I have Deuteronopia, which is an abnormal green perception. It sounds like you may have Protanopia, which is an abnormal red perception. Protanopes may have limited ability or an inability to see red. Signs you may have protanopia include seeing black instead of shades of red, seeing dark brown as dark green/orange/red/blue/purple/black, seeing some blues instead of reds, purples and dark pinks, and seeing mid-greens instead of some oranges

it would always appear grey to you?

Not at all. This is a common misconception about colorblindness because the name is kind of a misnomer for the majority of people who are colorblind. There are no colors that I am actually blind to, that I cant see or appear grey to me (except grey, of course). The only way you see some or all colors only in greyscale is by either having a defect in the visual processing of your brain or by missing one or more of the color sensing structures of the eyes. These structures are called cones. They come in red, green and blue varieties, and react to different ranges of light frequencies that causes us to see different colors.

My green cones still trigger for green frequencies for me exactly as yours would for you, so I do see colors, including green. But my colorblindness happens because there is a structural difference in my green cones that shifts the range of frequencies that trigger them towards the frequencies that trigger my red cones too. Because of this, there is a sizable range of color frequencies that trigger BOTH my green and red cones. Everyone has a little overlap, but mine is much larger than the normal overlap in non-colorblind people. When that happens, I still see colors. But instead of distinctly green or red colors, what I see is more muddled and brownish than what you would see. It’s because I’m basically getting mixed signals from my cones. There are also frequencies of light that are outside of this overlap that trigger only either my green or red cones, and so those colors do look distinctly and vibrantly green or red, even to me.

There are differing scales of deuteronopia (what red/green color blindness is called). The more overlap between the ranges your red and green cones’ wavelength reactivity, the worse the colorblindness. Mine is not super bad, just enough to be annoying sometimes.

Well, first, there is not a range for which I am “blind” to greens/reds, as in I would only see greyscale or something. Rather, there is a range of overlap for which both my green and red cones in my retina react to the light and so I essentially see both green and red, making the colors hard to distinguish. (Fun fact. As a result of this, I actually see slightly more blue that the average person.)

But when it comes to the green sequins, the tone/brightness of the light shouldn’t matter. It is the frequency of the light, not its relative intensity (above a certain level), that determines which cones are activated. So if they are all different shades of the same hue, they may fall into that overlap. But if it is partially reflecting other colors of light, then yes, the angle of the sequins may change how I am able to perceive the color(s) depending on those reflections.

That would be my guess. It is slightly obscured, but I can definitely make it out.

Which kind of colorblindness? Because I’m red-green colorblind (the most common kind) and I can read it.

Who ever thought punk was not progressive? At minimum it was blatantly anti-authoritarian and counter to the conservative culture in Thatcher’s UK and Reagan’s US. Why would anyone be shocked to find out that it was also pro-choice, feminist, and anti-discriminatory?
