Speaking of water... How often do you actually see a drop of water shaped like a drop? Almost never

I wish I was a better piano player

I'm a competent musician in many instruments but I could never get the hang of using my left hand for accompaniment

I'm not. I'm old, and have been following this conflict for decades. Hamas very often targets innocent Israelis in their attacks, and hides behind innocent Palestinians to make it difficult for Israel to target them. You can argue about whether it is justifiable or not that they do this, but there are many, many sources that they do.

There were many innocent civilians living in Nazi Germany, and a lot of them died in the interest of stopping them.

We try to minimize innocent deaths in war, but when the group you are fighting against uses hospitals as military locations and innocent people as human shields, it becomes difficult to do so

It would be a problem if he was brought on to talk about COVID being a hoax. It's not really a problem if he's talking about something entirely different and not problematic

Just from reading the title I was expecting a seasonal pumpkin spice WD40 joke

But this is also acceptable

Probably not. Just make a new account and fly under the radar for a while. If you keep getting banned on different accounts they will IP ban you.

Technically it's against the rules to make a new account to avoid a ban, but like I said, they probably won't look into it unless you give them a reason to

Sounds like a disingenuous argument.

If you're a content creator and you can leave, you should. If you can't, well obviously you shouldn't yet.

Wearing traditional black clothes is not necessarily racist. Wearing blackface has a long history of being directly racist.

There isn't an equivalent with wearing Nazi clothes.

Many publications on arxiv (or biorxiv or medrxiv, etc) are early drafts, or otherwise not scientifically rigorous and wouldn't be published in an actual journal due to failing peer review. Take what you find there with a grain of salt.

Although you should also take any single peer-reviewed article with a grain of salt as well.

 

I would love to be able to set the post type background of images or videos yo a different color than links. I often accidentally open a YouTube video I don't want to open because I think it's actually an image or a link.

 

When comments are very long, it can push the text box for replies towards the bottom of the screen. If the keyboard is pulled up to add to the text box, it will cover the box and make it so the response cannot be seen unless the keyboard is dismissed.

Possible solution: minimize the original comment on tap, or allow scrolling until the reply text box is at the top of the screen
