The was no ‘just’, just as there was no equating.

Bring any nuance to a charged topic and the ones who think in black and white terms will come to misinterpret what you said in the least charitable way.

Maybe not, but the boundaries can be fuzzy, and statistics tend to get built on technical language that may not treat the fuzziness the way you or I would agree with. So I get the urge to use vague language like ‘affects’ or the difficulty in finding language that is general enough without sounding mealy mouthed.

In reality, it’s not purely about race. Most racism isn’t between groups that are culturally identical, it is between groups with significant cultural differences. Race is just the most obvious attribute used to identify the other group.

I get you, but how would you phrase it? I expect, BTW, that it might be intended to cover both the extreme of children forced to work in a sweatshop 12/7 and children who have to help their parents with some subsistence tasks.

Thank you for your service!

Remember the redneckizer that would translate whatever text you entered into redneck speak? (There were other flavors too.) I want someone to make a sovcitizer.

I’m using a pixel 7 pro. I’m feeling absolutely no reason to upgrade.

It’s always a numbers game. The more times you roll the dice the sooner you’ll see success. The lower the chances the more times you need to roll em.

A general thing you can say about opportunity is to put yourself places where opportunities happen, even rare ones. But sorry I don’t have any advice about where those places are.

Also, non successful attempts can still be learning experience.

Or maybe viralness is just proportional to stupid and so the stupid ones simply get copied and reencoded lossily more.

I’m lichen them.

Believe it or not the Goldberg variations works for me.

As to what I am trying to accomplish: your comments, suggesting you have some theory about how the planets move that somehow scientists have missed, suggests to me some basic misunderstanding about how science or scientific knowledge works, and I’m trying to get at that, to possibly help you see something you are missing.

I don’t even know what you are talking about when you say ‘theory’. I can’t remember ever seeing a model of the planets rotating around the sun presented as a ‘theory.’ It’s just a model to explain what is understood about it, and of course a simplification. Of course scientists understand that the sun is also moving and if you combine that motion with the orbiting of the planets you of course get a spiral.

Who else could offer more distraction?

Did you really think that what you were able to infer from basic knowledge about the motion of the planets was not realized by scientists?

Fruits still have other flavors to my taste. Your sensitivity to sugar will change based on how much of it your eat, so if you’ve adapted to eating a lot less sugar you may have become so sensitive to sweetness that it overpowers other flavors.

European grapes (which most wine is made from) were devastated by phylloxera in the 19th century, and since then they’ve been grown on American grape root stock which is resistant.

I’m thinking more on the lines of a dangerous psycho posing as a barber?

You might need multiple ladders. An extension ladder if you think you’ll every need to get up on the roof, clean out the gutters, etc. Definitely a full size step ladder. A really light short step ladder can be handy too.

I’d also suggest a painters tool. A couple of putty knives and a can of patching plaster.
