That's like saying sunrise doesn't exist because the sun is relatively stationary while the earth revolves on its axis. Sunrise and tides are the names we give to how we experience these things.

Subjective experience cannot be wrong or right; it simply is. Interpretation of that experience can be wrong or right. Either way, the experience still happened.

Well, this was when I was like 6 or so; I can't fault the school system.

I'm confused: you say there's no such thing as tides, and then explain what tides are?

I would think an enameled skillet would not provide any extra iron; the glass that the enamel is made of forms a barrier between the iron and everything else. That's nice because you don't have to worry about it rusting any more, but it also means no iron in your food.

I don't think that counts as "commonly known"

I remember thinking that women gave birth to girls and men gave birth to boys, and being really worried because I (as a guy) didn't want to give birth.

They lost me at what they did to my boy Radagast.

Working through the new Guild Wars 2 expansion. Once I'm done with that, it'll probably be back to Baldur's Gate 3, though that might change if it takes me long enough that the new Cyberpunk DLC is out.

If your unsubscribe isn't working, report them to the FTC: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/ If you take want to go the extra mile, report them to their email provider as well. You might be able to get their email shut down, and if their email provider is also their web host provider, maybe their website as well. Providers take CAN-SOAM violations seriously.

Obsidian is my Scrivener replacement. It's not the same, but it's a great tool that actually gives me more of what I wanted from Scrivener.

My hunch is that we're seeing an influence campaign by people who own lots of commercial real estate swaying bosses. I don't have any actual info about who owns or has a stake in commercial real estate, but my gut tells me it's likely to be really wealthy businesspeople who a bunch of CEOs probably look up to/play golf with/whatever.
