Grass-fed free range UVs. Of course!

Also, what's "artificial" UV light? The light is either in the UV range, or it's not.

Reduce weed ingestion whilst posting or just in general

The software allows it. The configuration chosen here does not (for regular users, staff IINM can). This was based as SJ notes on problems with how the system behaved when such activity was visible (reciprocal in good and bad ways… retaliation, etc.)

Poor Forest management practices, obviously Kidding aside, given we can’t even get 50% of the population to take an obviously safe and effective vaccine or even just wear masks during a global pandemic, I’m not sure how we stop this. It’s as if in the movie Independence Day 50% if people pretended that aliens were a liberal hoax to take away their liberties

Unable to respond. The captors can see our communication

If the intent here is to use this thread as an experiential tool to give readers a real life understanding of how torture feels, then you guys are doing a bang up job. Mission accomplished!

I smirked

In fairness to JCM, I’ve been a bit unkind toward those who have challenged my position. I’m okay with some rough and tumble once in a while. I certainly won’t be crying myself to sleep bc someone online said I might have a tendency to support social justice like a warrior.

So, just to clarify: Your stance is that I’m being disingenuous and mostly looking for personal validation. Fascinating

Totally understand. No worries.

That’s a great restore! I’m sure seeing it made her extremely happy. Well done 👍

You and I are aligned here, and I certainly appreciate the sentiment, but I can't in good conscience allow you to conflate posting points and counter points on a discussion forum like SFN (and various other social media channels) with the great work those great people did often at great personal risk to truly change the world. Too late. The right wing outrage machine has been a dominant force for a few decades already now.

So does seeing otherwise decent people nonchalantly use as an incentive slur the act of advocating for social justice. No offense intended to my buddy James Clerk M, but anyone who thinks it’s an insult to refer to others as warriors of social justice are to be dismissed as knuckle dragging fools.

Or vaccine resistant… regardless of from whence it comes

My home state was super smart and decided to address Covid by no longer reporting the numbers and making it illegal for schools to mandate masks. The numbers can’t go up if you’re not counting them! Super duper smart. Reminds me of government reports and military planning docs being required to strip the words “climate change” out every publication.

Completely agree.

Seriously?

Oh, poppycock! EVERY single decision I EVER made during my teenage years was PERFECT!! Correct, but even if there were it still reeks to me of "separate, but equal" treatment. I reckon they should be allowed to participate in whatever division or classification they choose, so long as they meet and adhere to the (non-gender based) requirements of that division or classification. Seems obvious to me that we can just leave gender out of it entirely, and setup classifications and divisions based on other things (as StringJunky recently highlighted).

Well, there you have it. I just used my phone lol (also, smoke from California wildfires had blown into the air)

We haven't achieved it yet. Legislatures across the United States are making it illegal for transgendered humans to participate in sports aligned with their identified gender... hence this thread.

Which of us do you believe does not know this difference? Is it that you have perceived me as arguing for equality of outcome? If so, then I've failed miserably to accurately convey my thoughts on this topic. It's about equity (whether we choose to address the symptom or the system remains to be seen), but it is not about equality. He already did, did he not?

Clearly my own personal camera and editing capability doesn't match what I originally posted above, but supplementing this with a photo of my own:

Interesting. Can you find a way to have the water chemically analyzed?
