Isn’t there some question about the specifics of the mechanism of lift itself? Not like “this shouldn’t be possible!” but more “it’s easier to explain than it is to understand”


Can’t wait to hear your plan
This is why online discourse is so hard! Beyond the anonymity, which causes its own problems, the absence of nonverbal cues and lack of immediacy in feedback leaves a lot open to interpretation, so anything can be taken in any way.
Opinions become accusations and idle musings become absolute certainty in the vacuum of supporting information that is text-only communication. I worry that the only real solution is for people to–like you–embrace the uncertainty and gracefully admit that their interpretation could be wrong. And it seems likely that the only way to collectively get to that point is to fuck it up a lot for a long time.

Thinking about some other conversational ways to respond, I think saying, “It sure is, isn’t it?” or, “Don’t I know it!” feel pretty similar. I wonder what it is that makes us ask rhetorical questions like that.

Insane that anybody thought this was a good idea.


That’s a good one. I like this guy’s series on the topic


I don’t clap when planes land safely, but I’m sure I would celebrate if the train I was on landed safely!


Noooo, getting the bay leaf is lucky!


In “playing” sight isn’t a misheard phrase I’ve encountered before, but that’s a little surprising given how much sense it makes.


You mean kneels… Like a terrorist!


“Real name” is kind of a funny concept in this scenario


Before you take any action, simply ask yourself, “Is this something that a fascist would do?”


I bet it has a few vibrate modes
Huh, okay. I don’t really keep up with all of the little fandoms, so thanks for that!
