You can't seriously be against all censorship in books, right? Where are your actual boundaries? I don't think you'd be ok with something obviously evil like a book of cp.... Right?

Edgecases are why it's hard to be consistent.

It's like a smaller, slightly more convenient walkman

I am very much failing to see how the chess thing makes any sense...

It seems that the chess association that did that is operating from a sexist stance of "men are inherently more logical than women" which led to their transphobic stance of "trans women are not to play ciswomen"

Am I missing something? How does it make sense?

And that's why it's the job of people like you and me to raise a hellish stink about it whenever it happens so that one day, maybe it will finally stop.

I've come to the realization that some people really really do enjoy having children and actively want them. I am not one of them. You probably aren't either or you'd understand it. I don't understand it either, so I assume it's for a niche that isn't me. Or rather, less assume, more have seen. I know these people exist as I've seen them, but I do not understand them. But I figure that's ok.

Unfortunately, most people don't take this sort of view and assume everyone is like them, leading to stupid absolutist nonsense that they can't seem to see past.

Best to not switch away from the default (row) unless you really know what you're doing. Here's the guide I always consulted for flexbox direction help. I just consulted it until I got the feel for it. I could guess at what you're doing but I think this resource will be better than me hemming and hawing over what you're trying to do: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

So some tips:

  1. column flips what the actual keywords of flex do (justify-content starts to act like align-items and visa versa).
  2. it's easier to develop for small screens and then expand up to large screens. This is because you already know what you'll have to expand from and you won't have to squish anything down. (I'm not saying you should restart your project though, this is a future tip only. Only restart if everything is truly fubar.)

Fractions are for inches. any red blooded American would know that a Boeing 747 is about 8 washing machines and a half dollar bill long.

"Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said, “I am proud of the vigilant and quick response of MPD officers who mitigated a potential mass shooting situation today.”"

I feel like the cops are giving themselves too much credit here. Mitigating the potential mass shooting event to me means preventing the shooter from shooting at the school... I mean good on them for catching him quickly though, that is good work and I try to give credit where it's due despite generally not appreciating cops, but mitigating the attack is not what they did there...

At least by my layman definitions. Does mitigate mean something else in cop talk?

I guess they could be saying there was potential of him going somewhere else and doing a mass shooting there, so maybe that's what they mean?

Power flex, mostly

I am currently keeping my 2004 going as long as possible. These people need to just make everything configurable, like a smartphone, and then I'd make the switch. It's the last piece of bad design that's keeping me on an ice vehicle at this point.

I don't want to have to look down to change the radio station just because some jackass buried it under 3 fucking menus. That's dangerous, damn it! Fuck your research, let me configure my own shit!

Instead of down voting you, I want to know what happened to you to call them nazis. Their only rule is essentially be nice, it kind of reflects badly on you that you're so enraged by them to just call them nazis out of nowhere. What happened, man?
