Descriptivism vs prescriptivism is going to play a role here.
I think all those terms are going to have hella blurry definitions.
Atheist is going to be the blurriest since even people who aren’t against the possibility of a god(s)’s existence refer to themselves with it. As do people who aren’t against “spiritual” but don’t believe in deities. Etc.
As for secularism, that’s a term that can be used to describe both personal religion/philosophy and/or political stance on religion in relation to society/governance. Not to mention that there are several different “secular” models of looking at the universe so there will be diversity within this term and some overlap with the other terms you mentioned
Also anti-theist as in:
against the idea of the existence of deities?
against the worship of deities regardless of existence?
against theistic religion?
against religions/spiritualities in general?
against letting people believe in gods?
that we should fight against and/or kill gods? (The best option ofc)
Do people have the same understanding of the words as you do? I don’t think anyone here can answer that because it depends on what definitions you’re personally holding to.
If you travel Utah/Idaho/Wyoming/Nevada you’ll see what I mean.
Sure there are some cool and beautiful little historic towns, but you’ll also see a lot of towns that are basically just two truck stops and an RV park. Sometimes also a hardware store or tourist trap. And then basically nothing but desert/cheatgrass or farmland for 20mi in every direction.
Hey now, do you really think all the eldritch monsters just stayed in the appalachians? No.
Thats why there are skinwalkers in the rockies; they’re just wendigo that heard there were taller mountains forming in the west and decided to migrate over.
Do you think left handed people are only complaining about the handle shapes?
It is physically impossible to make “hand-neutral” scissors. One blade will always come before the other, obscuring your view of the cutting line from one side. That’s the problem.
Honestly just the worst when you end up not crimping down hard enough on some so they slowly come loose during use, so then you randomly start getting up but no down or vice versa
Alright fine guess I’m going to try being fully left handed today.
Funnily enough, it looks like I’m making less mistakes typing this out on my phone with my left hand than I typically do with my right. I wonder if it’s because I’m typing slightly slower, or if the way I hold my phone in my left gives me a better angle for typing.
Nah ds1 is more bisexual since you can choose to serve a 20ft tall woman or her little femboy brother gwyndolin, and technically you’re gwyndolin’s pet even if you choose the woman since his sister is an illusion.
Plus, you get to save a fire damsel-in-distress AND also get your knight-in-sunshine-armor Solaire who “jokes” about you having feelings for him
As long as you can continuously get the CO2 out of the way above the surface so you don’t suffocate… you might still die.
“Non-buoyant water” is a real thing. When water contains enough dissolved or finely dispersed gases, it becomes less dense than the human body. There will be no buoyancy force making you float, so if you stop moving you won’t just hang near the surface, you will sink to the bottom like a rock.
Now, maybe you can still generate enough force to tread water if you really tried. Maybe the bubbles themselves getting caught under you would counteract the loss of buoyant force, but the point is that if you carbonated a pool enough, it could possibly be more of a deathtrap than a play area
You know, I was going to say that tetration or busy beaver numbers would counter that argument, but then again I guess they’d pretty much just look like vertical lines if the stroke weight of the marker was enough to cover the curved behavior around zero.
The linear pattern of the things plotted here weirds me out. Is there really such a clear life-time / size trend? Or were specific things chosen to be listed because they follow a roughly linear trend on the log-log plot?
You were voluntarily (not-involuntarily-forced-into) being oppressed and decided to stop volunteering for it (use the freedom that was already there: to leave without facing violence)
It’s not like immigrants can just “break up” with ICE
Edit: Removed “voluntary” because it could be construed as “consented to” and not “free to choose without constraint/threat” like I meant it
Okay now that’s just cursed

Rural towns in the Western US (truck stops with some houses nearby fsr)
vs.
Rural towns in the North East (quaint new England town with an old church near the center)

Too bad it’s not the proper hand for scissors :(

Iirc it’s Taiwan that makes NVIDIA chips, not china
No no no butthead would be the opposite so it’d refer to yeeting your butt as far away from their head as possible

Idk what a groyper is tho

Why did the cop just stand there and get eaten? /s
I think you actually just described Danish.
Why pronounce a consonant when you just can swallow it and use a glottal stop instead?
a) I was talking about the specific situation OP described, not any abusive/bad relationship ever
b) If it was abusive that would likely have made it violent (psychological violence is violence)
c) “Voluntary” as in they could choose to leave without threat to their safety/wellbeing, not “oh boy I wholeheartedly desire this.”
