You're right, and I don't want you to feel like no-one agrees with you.

I think you're missing the point of the original comment. Describing modern conservatism as a disability at once absolves conservatives of their responsibility not to hold abhorrent views, by classing it as a characteristic they have no control over, and lumps people with disabilities into a group that, in a non-insignificant number of cases, wants them dead or sterilised.

That's why the commenter was upset with you; not because you've criticised eugenics, but because you've been massively insensitive, and when someone pointed out that insensitivity you became defensive and attacked them in return.

Looks ai generated, so not too surprised it's wrong

Eh, you wouldn't use the noun water to refer to atoms of water. 'How many waters are there?' to refer to atoms of water is the statement of someone deranged

Depends on if you're using water to include types of water (if, like a maniacal madman, you have mixed Evian, Buxton and Harrogate mineral water into one jug). Then 'i mixed fewer waters' or 'there are fewer waters in that glass' would be valid.

To be clear: I'm not the person you replied to, just someone who finds it quite interesting (in the same way that the plural fishes is valid if you're talking about different species of fish).

And yes, I know prescriptivism is bad, but also it is quite fun.

I read that as courting. Which honestly... Yeah?

Seems to be the general consensus. Thanks all for the help!

two cast iron pans, lightly rusted image of the smaller of the cast iron pans image of the larger of the two pans

Hi all, thought a nice thing to do for my dad for his birthday would be to restore the two cast iron pans he uses. I've attached pictures of the two, which basically show rust wearing through, particularly on the smaller of these. I've read conflicting advice (abraid back with steel wool on the specific areas Vs strip with lye all over and fully reseason). I have minimal experience, so was wondering what the right approach is likely to be? Thanks in advance!

The contrapoints video on cringe touches on her near the start. IMO it's a topic that's kinda sad.

So cool to see specific mushrooms in art -- that's a shaggy inkcap (which I now see the Latin name down the bottom). Really cool mushroom. Goes well fried or in soup, but needs to be eaten immediately after picking, else it turns to inky mush (and ends up looking like her umbrella)

Yeah, these kind of posts always feel kinda mean if it's not him that's put that caption.

People who aren't conventionally attractive are allowed to have a sense of style and wear fun clothes too.

Everett True wouldn't put up with this shit

 

How do you distinguish between romantic attraction and strong friendship? Something I struggle with and when romantic attachment is suggested to me I don't know whether/how to say yes/no.
