CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@wlonk

Wait, what? Really? So, it isn't just about catching wind?

I know it's more complicated because tacking (sp) into the wind is possible, but I haven't the faintest idea on how to apply any of that

@c_reider

I ️ specific types of wasps lol especially because I like figs

@gemelen

So interesting! I feel a wikipedia rabbit hole coming on

@lizzard

This feels like arborist wizardry to me! You are saying words and I'm nodding along, but I don't have the faintest idea how this works or how one would do this. I'm just in awe that this is something that is known and can be done!

@WizardOfDocs

This one used to be a pet peeve of mine, but I've gotten better with it thankfully.

I crochet. I can't knit at all. They have such different strengths and weaknesses

@dasparky

Take note men /j

@thestrangelet

I wholeheartedly agree! And a little bit of knowledge about composition can go a long way

@feijoa

My partner full-heartedly agrees. They would also like to be able to make a synth lol

@icil

This is an entire world of information I didn't know existed, but of course it does. ️

There must be so many variations of inversions between all the combinations. Is there a standardized taxonomy?

@DulceMaria

And it's normal, healthy, and completely okay! No one should feel ashamed about it

@bunny_jane

It's the Kleenex effect all over again!

People use the brand name as if it's a generic, and it can even end up with the brand name losing trademark!

@gemelen

Wait wait! Wait! Like in colour? Like black tea is actually visibly red or is it ONLY a classification thing?

@c_reider

Completely agree! Bees are the helpful, friendly joy bringer, imo. Wasps are just flying anger needles

Also, ants are really closely related to wasps! If you see flying ants and you compare them to wasps, you can definitely see the similarities

@lydiaschoch

I've heard about that! It's wild from a human perspective, considering that they are one of the lowest sugar foods in our diets lol

@c0debabe

I'll have to take your word for it. My experience with PHP is so limited and long ago that I have nnnnooooo ability to judge lol

Doomscrolling checkpoint.

Please deposit one fact about your special interest that people always get wrong in order to proceed

Being neurodivergent can make interacting with police downright dangerous.

In fact, half of all US police violence is enacted on people with disabilities, mainly disabled people of color. Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/half-people-killed-police-suffer-mental-disability-report-n538371

Police often fundamentally misunderstand disabled people's intentions, needs, and what we're trying to communicate.

Normal behaviour gets interpreted as deceitful, non-compliant, or aggressive, even when we're not in anytime of crisis and doing our best to be cooperative
