... Reading through the notes, which included an article I'd expect off search - I'm honestly still not sure what I'd be looking for. Are containers that look like they lost air after being sealed also an issue here? Their probably a different one, at least, but there's two signs being given for cans, and their in opposite directions.
recently learned my coworker and one of my friends dont know what botulism is, and now im wondering if theyre outliers or if this is my Weird Kid showing through so
do you know what botulism is (Knowing What Botulism Is in this case is described as knowing the concept, how to identify and avoid it in a household context, not necessarily all the scientific parts of what it is and what it can do) and where did you learn about it?
please reblog if you can im sososososo curious
I'm pretty darn sure he's here to get rich. If you can get on such a thing and get it known your on it, you can sometimes arrange to get your own money back. And also, Link has a bit of a habit of finding really expensive things.
Two lovers have reincarnated throughout history, destined to find each other and fall in love all over again. There’s also this third guy that reincarnates alongside them… we don’t really know what he does.

Okay, why can I still see the shape in the decolored version of D? The others are maybe at best but D is very clear.
colorblindness check! make sure you can see all of the shapes in the circles; if not, that might mean you've lost some of your ability to see color!

Question: how did you get the link to agree with the claim? This is a one question quiz. Naturally, that means it is probably based on some obscure lore, so I trust you, but how?

i finally went ahead and made a classpect quiz based on my personal conception of how things work. that means it's probably one of the more accurate classpect quizzes out there. consists of two parts. 20 questions total. go take it, share it, argue about it, whatever. have fun.

So, I'm looking into the whole Tumblr discrimination suit thing.
They settled with the CCHR in 2022 because, at the time, they were headquartered there, I believe, but that's no longer the case. Automattic Inc., and by extension, Tumblr, are headquartered now at 60 29th Street #343 San Francisco, CA 94110
So I believe we'd want to get in touch with the human rights commission in san fransisco instead. I don't know fuckall about this kind of legal thing though, so someone who either knows more or is better at research should figure out if it's worthwhile to bring this to the CCHR given that All This Shit is a pretty overt violation of the terms of their settlement with them, even if they are now headquartered elsewhere.

“By the usual measures, Biden should be cruising to reëlection. Violent crime has dropped to nearly a fifty-year low, unemployment is below four per cent, and in January the S. & P. 500 and the Dow hit record highs. More Americans than ever have health insurance, and the country is producing more energy than at any previous moment in its history. His opponent, who is facing ninety-one criminal counts, has suggested that if he is elected he will fire as many as fifty thousand civil servants and replace them with loyalists, deputize the National Guard as a mass-deportation force, and root out what he calls “the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.””

Because how much worse that is when actually moving left you passed out against the window. Just wait for it to wear off.
Arch, as in the poll, is a Linux distro. An arch, as in the ask, is an architectural feature.
However, in the particular context of the ask, it is clear that the asker was referring to as in the blog title, and therefore is ungrammatical in a meaningless way.
As I've heard some do, should you truly desire to be sure of being grammatical, in the general sense, such a query could've been phrased "what or who is the Arch", though the word user can reasonably be assumed to allow skipping the who portion of the query in this particular case.
This works because you can imply words.
I'm confused, what is an arch? /genq

I remember this one! It's that there's an XX chromosomes only mutation (much less strict to sex than folk tend to expect, but a very strong tendency) that can cause an expanded range of colours to be seen. IRC, it tends to be an issue in the more concrete art forms, as picking colours based partially on colours others don't see makes for art that looks odd to everyone else.

I tend to focus on hair... If I've not known someone for a few years well, I'll most likely need to be reintroduced if they change their hairstyle beyond a regular set.
Whenever I'm talking to someone I rarely actually look them in the eye. My eyes usually focus on the eye brows and nose bridge. Those are close enough to the eyes that people think I'm looking them in the eye.
... I suppose I have to clarify? You're at least tending to identify afferent attachment as ownership of the body in the language your using. In contrast, we've tended to identify efferent attachment as ownership of the body. This has made posts (well, post) building on these concepts come across with significant confusion that I can push through, but interpreting leaves me unsure if I should be using those terms, as I'm left with two different interpretations of what you communicated.
Dimensions of Fronting
In my Manifestations post, I used fronting as a catch-all term for any sort of physical attachment to the body.
I'd like to delve into that a bit more here, exploring language to better explain individual experiences of fronting and control over the body.
This isn't really intended for every day use, but is meant to better explain plural experiences of fronting in a more clear and more precise way.
Full body vs Locational Attachment
Full body attachment is, as expected, attachment to the entire body at once.
Locational Attachment is attachment to specific body parts such as only a hand or just the legs. When referencing locational attachment, it's usually useful to refer to the part of the body one is attached to.
Efferent vs Afferent Attachment
Besides simply being locational, attachment can come in afferent and efferent forms. Some nerves send signals from the brain to the body. Other nerves in the brain receive signals from the body.
Nerves responsible for sending signals from the brain to the body are called efferent nerves. These allow you to control the body. Nerves responsible for receiving signals are afferent. These allow you to sense things through the body.
Attachment can exist in both forms separately.
If a headmate feels like they're experiencing everything happening to the body but feel like somebody else is controlling it, they're experiencing afferent attachment with efferent detachment.
If a headmate is controlling the body but feels disconnected, as if everything is happening to somebody else, this is efferent attachment with afferent detachment.
Alternative Terminology:
The terms above are more technical, designed to help conceptualize the dimensions of fronting. For everyday use, I would recommend Possession and Attunement.
Possession referring to taking control of the body, attunement to receiving signals from its senses as if they were your own.
Solitary Attachment vs Shared Attachment and Co-fronting
Any of previous attachment types may be experienced by multiple headmates at once. Multiple headmates feel like the whole body is theirs and share control over it simultaneously. Shared attachment can also be over specific limbs, where multiple headmates feel like the limb is theirs at once.
If only one headmate feels attached to the body or limb, this is solitary attachment.
When multiple headmates are controlling the body, this is usually called co-fronting.
How to use the language?
One thing I often struggle with is putting our experiences into words.
A lot of plural language is vague and has multiple conflicting meanings. Part of an issue with having such a large community made up of many smaller communities.
What one person means when they say they're fronting may not be what another means.
This allows us to more easily describe and compare different plural experiences.
For example, a distinction for our partial possession vs our proxying.
When I partially possess an arm, I fully experience that arm as if it's mine. I experience both afferent and efferent locational attachment to that specific limb. If using possession and attunement terms, this may also be considered Attuned Locational Possession or Partial Attuned Possession.
In contrast, when proxying (typing while somebody else is fronting,) I don't feel like the hand belongs to me. I send signals through them, the words typed out are mine and coming from me, but the fronter still experiences the hands as if the hands belong to the fronter. I experience a locational efferent attachment (sending motor signals) and afferent detachment (an absence of sensor signals) to the hands, while the fronter may experience afferent attachment and efferent detachment to the hands. This can also be considered a form of Unattuned Locational Possession of the hands.
Breaking it down!
Full body Attachment and Detachment:
"I'm in complete control of the body, everything that happens to it is happening to me."
Full Fronting (full body efferent and afferent attachment.)
"I'm in control but everything feels like it's happening to someone else, as if I'm outside the body."
Complete Unattuned Possession (full body efferent attachment and afferent detachment.)
"I can feel everything but it's as if someone else is controlling my actions and making me act things out."
Complete non-possessive Attunement (full body efferent detachment and afferent attachment.)
"I'm a spectator watching while someone else controls my body. Everything that happens is happening to them and I just exist in the background."
Complete Detachment (full body efferent and afferent detachment.)
Partial Attachment and Detachment:
"I have total control over this limb, and feel through it as if it's mine."
Partial Attuned Possession (localized efferent and afferent attachment.)
"I can control this limb but I feel like it's someone else's and don't feel these sensations are happening to me."
Partial Unattuned Possession.(localized efferent attachment and afferent detachment.)
"I can feel through this part of the body as if it's mine, but I have no control over it."
Partial non-possessive Attunement (localized efferent detachment and afferent attachment.)
"I can't control this limb and I feel like it belongs to someone else."
Partial Detachment (localized efferent and afferent detachment.)
Things to consider...
While writing this, there were some experiences that were hard to categorize. This is especially true of unconscious reactions. If you tickle a headmate's mindform who is co-con but not fronting, and their reaction causes the body to jolt, do these sorts of automatic and unconscious reactions constitute a form of Efferent Attachment?
This model is still not comprehensive. But I believe it's a good starting place for understanding fronting experiences.
While solid evidence for your survivability, it does not evidence running speed. You may, perhaps, be some sort of stable geographical feature, such as a valley or a mountain.
why didn't they just leave pompeii when the volcano erupted? were they stupid?
I noticed that it seems you've categorised afferent attachment as fronting, whereas we tend to identify the efferent attachment as fronting - hence, "I can feel the body while someone else is there" or "I can feel headmate's limb" or "I can see, but not much else". This has caused me some confusion with other terms you've based on this, and wonder if I should use them if I identify the appropriate range of efferent/afferent matches, or...
