What is that booger creature? Where does it live? And can I go there please? Thanks!

I don't think I have that one, but I have a bunch of them! They're my prized possessions and it's such a delight to hang them up every Christmas :D

There's something about the way you type that comes across as juvenile. I think it's the lack of capitalization and grammatical errors. Are you not a native English speaker? That would definitely explain it.

lol but it's definitely a typo. If you click on the link the actual article says "700 year old".

I was and continue to be shocked that there are conservative Star Trek fans. I just can't wrap my head around how they justify it. It's very clearly painting socialism and left leaning ideas as the universally correct ideals which will lead us to a utopia.

I wonder what the same people criticizing trans health care as "mutilation of children" think of intersex babies having genital surgery forced upon them to align their genitals with gender binary ideals.

And just before anyone has a chance to say it, trans healthcare for teens is okay despite them not being able to consent because if they don't choose quickly then one of the options is going to be forced upon them.

It's like a child standing on train tracks with a train speeding toward them and the child expressing that they'd like to get out of the way while people telling them "No! You're not old enough to make that decision!"

I wonder if some kind of not for profit organization could act as a benefactor to important open source projects. So people can just donate to this organization, maybe even give monthly or whatever, and the organization doles out the funds to open source projects based on the amount of maintainers and importance to the community at large.

Like a charity for open source. They'd have to operate with complete transparency and justify their actions to avoid accusations of corporate favoritism, but I think it would be doable.

Does something like this already exist?

Guys, it's not one or the other. We can have trees and algae tanks. Trees can still offer all of the benefits they do like shade and beauty while algae tanks can be used to increase fresh oxygen. Algae is much better at absorbing CO2 than trees and providing clean air which is a big problem in a busy city.

TLDW: James Somerton is a gay man and a YouTube content "creator" who has recently been outed as a plagiarist by Hbomberguy and Todd In The Shadows. He primarily steals content from other lesser known queer content creators which just makes his plagiarism all the more insidious.

He has also strangely been proven to be guilty of spreading pseudohistory in which he changes details of historic events.

He has also been accused of a Patreon scam by making a (now deleted) video pleading with his subscribers on YouTube that he can't make ends meet and he'll have to stop making videos if he doesn't get more Patreon subscribers. He got 1200 new patrons from that video. He apparently immediately purchased an $8000 camera afterwards which people describe as a "bizarre purchase" for someone who was just in financial dire straits. Also, there was no evidence of him having suffered a drop in subscribers that he claimed was the reason for his financial situation.

He has also been accused by YouTuber and Nebula creator Jessie Gender of transphobia. She says that James Somerton has gone out of his way to erase any queer content creators who were not cisgender gay men, and that he intentionally misgenders other transgender content creators constantly.

It seems like the inciting incident for all of these YouTube and Nebula content creators to go after him was James' application to become a Nebula content creator. I suppose they started gathering evidence to provide against his membership and they ended up finding so much that they created these videos and levied formal accusations.

Here's a slightly more in-depth read from Wikitubia for anyone interested in reading further: https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/James_Somerton#Controversies

Yeah it's a fact that women are severely under diagnosed. If they're hyperactive, like you said, they get written off as flighty and impulsive, and if they aren't the hyperactive type they get written off at spacey and ditsy. My partner works for a company whose stated goal is to bring medical care to underserved or ignored communities and one of the 3 services they offer is "ADHD management for adult women" because its so pervasive that they go undiagnosed.

Kind of reminds me of the Rick and Morty episode with the night people. When they take over, they find out that being in charge sucks.
