Oh, I see. Thank you. The differences were too subtle for me, and I only just now learned what a bottom sheet is! :)

Still, it doesn't seem a very significant change. I'm neither pleased nor upset by it, but rather wondering what the point is. Maybe the cosmetic changes are simply a small addition to more important changes under the hood?

the traffic light was a third of a mile away.

I'm having trouble visualizing this. Does this mean that at a walking speed of 3km/h it would take ten entire minutes to get to a cross walk? Because that's insane.

In Sweden we have crosswalks very regularly, usually like a couple minutes of walking at most. For bus stops farther between intersections there are markers indicating that people will cross, even without a normal crossing marker. For areas which can't have a crossing (you may need to walk around a ways to get under or over four lanes) they put up barriers to prevent walking across.

I'm about to flip a grunt.

These lyrics are great.

What if I commanded you to bark at Will??

I can theoretically vote to disarm my own country, but I cannot vote to disarm other countries.

What's new about it? The screenshot looks like my Firefox looks already, and it's been this way for a long time. Did I maybe forget signing up to test beta features??

I don't mean to piss in the soup of anyone who just enjoys the topic, but I do want to question the idea that it's important to reflect on the potential for nuclear catastrophe. I think nuclear weapons are here whether we like them or not, and that the average person worrying about nuclear war is as unnecessary and self-destructive as worrying about solar flares or plane crashes. Is that incorrect? Is it possible to eradicate all nuclear weapons? Am I capable of influencing whether or not nukes exist? How might one go about disarming powers which do not want to be disarmed? How do we prevent future creation of nuclear bombs or the keeping of existing ones in secret?

They don't need to be formal leaders to be leaders. In a cooperative video game it's pretty normal to have everyone just milling about until one or two people take charge of organizing. You might have one person herd a party together while another informs on strategies and organizes people into roles. They're often not even the leader of the party as designated by the game; it's the social dynamic of deferring to someone who seems to know what they're doing that matters.

God, I'm so fucking tired of seeing a load of women having sex whenever I'm trying to find femboys getting railed. At least have the girls doing the railing if they have to be there.

Glasses are barely an inconvenience; you can't compare them to cancer. A 1% drop rate on making my life significantly worse is terrible odds, especially given the monetary cost.

I would like to add Little Kitty Big City. It was such a nice time. 🐱
