I think a lot of body language analysis is vibes based BS, but sometimes the vibes sure are vibin’.

If they’re high quality editors who consistently put out a lot of edits then yeah, it is meaningful and insightful. Wikipedia exists because of them and only them. If most feel like they do and stop doing all this maintenance for free, then Wikipedia becomes a graffiti wall/ad space and not an encyclopedia.

Thinking the immediate disgust of the people doing all the work for you for free is meaningless is the best way to nose dive.

Also, you literally had to scroll past a very long and insightful comment to get to that.

Even with transition lenses it’s so, so bright 😩

Something about seeing some of the beautiful blooming jacaranda trees that are everywhere in LA in this picture really got me :(

Go have this fight with someone that wants to have it and didn’t make it clear that kind of behavior isn’t alright. Maybe somewhere other than on a thread about cops threatening to come assault protesters in their homes.

Interesting that a Californian making a callous comment about living in hurricane country is somehow equivalent to the conservative media industry absolutely cheering bloodshed any time natural disasters strike us. 🙄 If California celebrated like this any time, much less every time, a natural disaster hit somewhere else it would have its own dedicated conservative channel playing it on loop.

I’ve lived through multiple hurricanes because I haven’t always lived in California. People from everywhere say that stupid shit about hurricane prone areas. Take the chip off your shoulder.

Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.

Unironically, cows are great indicators of what’s normal in fields and pastures. They’re up over there investigating ICE because they’ve never seen them or their vehicles before.

During WWII there are stories of both sides having issues in rural France because milk cows would come up to their hiding spots, crying to be milked (going unmilked is painful for dairy cows).

I like to imagine they were just found in random shoes over the day that people lost/forgot. Someone gets to Vegas and goes ah, fuck, I lost my coke shoe!

First, fuck AI. Second, do a reverse image search if you’re going to claim AI.

I’m glad, stay safe! Grab some N95 or KN95 masks for outdoor use too while you’re at it 👍

Yes! A single camp fire can only put out so much wood smoke, but wildfires cause all the air around you to be saturated with smoke. The smoke can contain heavy metals and all other kinds of bad shit to breathe, because it’s not just dry wood the way camp fires are. The contents of any homes or cars that have burned are also now floating around in the atmosphere.

TL;DR: don’t breathe this

with an open window.

From a fellow resident of an area with frequent fires… Friend, close the window 😬 You don’t want to be breathing it! Wildfire particles are very tiny and will lodge themselves in your lungs. Do you have air purification going? Please be careful and take care of yourself.

It drives me nuts when news articles mention but don’t link to the Go Fund Me page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-dianas-recovery-from-acid-attack
