Carpet bombing a country where brown people live is a standard military tactic for the US :(

Also, the US used to import a lot of citrus from South Africa, but Trump's 30% tariffs on South Africa mean that is no longer a thing

Yeah, replace crossword puzzle with sudoku or nonograms, and I'll tick all the boxes

I would like to introduce the word "euthymic" into the conversation: feeling stable and okay

No. She was an executive at Blackstone, not Blackrock. She was also just one of the people shot in the lobby of the building, not the target.

The Blackstone executive was killed in the lobby, not in their offices. It does not look like she was the chief target. He went up to the 33rd floor into the offices of Rudin Management who owned the building.

If you won't let people change for the better, what incentive do they have to change for the better?

Agreed. 7+6=13 is Monday. Is this actually an example of synesthesia?

#94 That's because it is "heads up". The up does not belong to the singular head. It is a colloquial way of saying "pay attention" with the idea that all heads should be up and alert, now used generally for giving people notice of something as opposed to just for warnings

Fair point. While cyan may technically be blue, it certainly doesn't feel like other shades of blue

The caption says: "I tried taking a picture of a fox I saw outside but something was wrong with the camera, and now it looks like art"

On the other end of this particular niche spectrum... I am a bi woman who finds bi men disturbingly sexy. Finding out a man I find attractive is bi just dramatically ramps hit hotness factor up, somehow

Try being bi and poly. Everyone expects you to just be down for whoever, whenever T_T

44 year old bi woman here. Bi-erasure has been around forever. The most frequent form I have personally encountered is the assumption that you just haven't made up your mind yet, but will eventually realise you are either straight (and are just experimenting) or that you are actually gay (and are still figuring that out). Lesbian women were very against getting into a relationship with me because they assumed I was just experimenting and incapable of a real relationship with a woman
