> the other party defines gays' adoption as a perversion.

Except it doesn't. No where in the manifesto of the republican party does it state or suggest that gay adoption is a perversion. You could however say that many conservative politicians are more likely to lean towards disapproving, thats true.

The problem is your doing what you usually do and assume that mentioning some other party and how they are shittier somehow that justifies the shittiness of liberals, it doesnt work that way. Conservatives being shitty doesnt make liberals any less shitty.

A great many gays are neither conservative nor liberal down the line, many are centric and/or libertarian as well, some refuse to support either or any party.

@thomas_oe Thats more than enough to get into the water. You should definitely stop by (I havent set the dates yet) and do some dives with me.

@uisce police go back to the beginings of civilization. Disbanding the police is not and never has been a solution. Solutions come from ensure that there is an equally strong force that keeps the police in check with as strong if not stronger consequences for when they step out of bounds.

@pthenq1 Its a signal that liberals tend towards extremism and destructive policies. Gays are smart, and they understand the harm of extremism as it is what caused much of the prejudice against them in the first place.

You are right 70% of gays are against liberal parties, and it isnt a coincidence. Its not a shortcoming of gays, its a short coming of liberal parties.Maybe if they got their shit together and started proposing healthy policies that dont have tunnel vision they would have more support from the gays they claim to want to help.

@johnabs Also dont get started on the absurdity of human naming things... I've been ready to use a constructed language for decades :)

@johnabs Oh well yes if your talking ancient times then sapphire originally referred to only the blue ones. In fact they had no idea clear sapphires were sapphires at all.

Sapphire and Ruby are terms generally used more in marketing, though i still wouldn't call a gimmick, its just how the word evolved. Geologists almost always call it corundum in my expiernce, particularly when talking in the general sense (inclusive of all colors).

@johnabs Clear corundum occurs naturally and is often called clear saphire. So I wouldnt really call that a gimmick. Ruby, yes, they must be red, they are just red sapphires as you know. But no sapphire was never restricted to just blue as far as I know.the other color of sapphires are still called sapphires, at least since the 80s when i started collecting them.

An official announcement from the desk of Jeffrey Phillips Freeman:

From now on masterbation shall be known as "intrasex". That is all.

Anyone out there feel like tagging along for a caribbean vacation. I am thinking of getting a house on the beach on a caribbean island for 6 months. Should be a spare couch to host a guests on and off. So anyone who is up for a visit hit me up.

Bonus points if your into SCUBA, I'll be doing a lot of SCUBA from the beach. At a minimum you need to love the ocean and swimming otherwise it wont be worth the plane ticket.

@xmakina@mastodon.technology

The tricks is knowing which one it is. Like could legit just be more features in the app too... The fucked up part is the mobile apps arent as easy to lock down but also not as easy to investigate to see what info they send on you...

This is why we need linux on our phones, or at least something better than android.

@surasanji I used to beleive this.. then I lost the tip of my finger trying to hug a lobster... never again.. I'm team crab!

@johnabs While blue sapphire and other colored sapphire does indeed have things in it other than aluminum oxide giving it its color dont forget clear sapphires. Those are just crystalline aluminum oxide.

Did not know that the layer on aluminum was amorphous though, fair point.

@freemo It appears this 4nm layer is amorphous (or at least polycrystalline), not corundum/sapphire, unless produced by plasma oxidation with the express purpose of producing hardened aluminum oxide for increased hardness. Additionally, while clear, pure, alpha-crystalline aluminum oxide is often called sapphire (for what I think must be a marketing gimmick) it is actually just pure corundum, as sapphire is corundum with the metal ion inclusions that aren't red (which is ruby).

But the aluminum passivity layer is pretty sick from a materials/chemical perspective for sure :3

@uisce
It literally translates to "who guards the guardians?" and is a question about who enforces the law on the people who enforce the law... Who polices the police, who polices the government/courts, etc.

@uisce
Well yes if the other person still has something left to say, ideally, hear them out before walking away from the convo.
