More info here for those wondering. The person who apparently raped Phoenix is a dude named Armak.

Jick and Phoenix ended up marrying, and Jick has a bunch of bunch red flags and abusive things that resulted in them divorcing.

It seems like most of this was softly affirmed by Jick, but has been loosely corroborated by many people around with varying degrees of ‘most of it’s true, but there’s some inconsistencies’.

What a damn shame for all you Holds up DVORAK users that you’re no better than the rest of us filthy QWERTY kids.

Kingdom of Loathing… how I miss you sometimes.

Phenomenal! Thanks for proving yourself wrong!

I didn’t present the evidence, ya’ll did. It’s on you, not nameless strangers on the internet taking a shit or doing other stuff.

Edit: Ornery_chemist was a good dude and proved themselves wrong! Hooray! https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/05/18/1251919831/sunscreen-effective-better-ingredients-fda

I’m down voting both of you because neither provided sauce.

Whoever’s right, gets the updoot.

Great. This time don’t crop out the results just below the AI Overview lol.

All of society runs on the underlying threat of violence/force… From staving off wars, to enforcing our laws. It all requires people to be cajoled into being good/better under the threat of punishment. Usually through isolation from the rest of society, or straight up violence.

That threat of force is given to the government on behalf of the authority and consent of the governed. If they continue to abuse it, then it’s only on the governed to establish that change themselves. Either through political violence, or by changing the politicians / laws.

Soap box <— We have not been here for about a decade. Very, very, very few people who voted right wing are still capable of being swayed by almost anything you say, and the effort you put into it, likely isn’t worth it. More Republicans approve of him now 87% to 92% than they did in his first term.

Have fun not seeing her no matter your best then.

… Denial.

Adding from someone above. https://old.lemmy.world/comment/16391357

Someone did the math above.

https://old.lemmy.world/comment/16391357

So, a typical pupil is around 2 mm in diameter in bright conditions. With the Rayleigh limit that results in an angular resolution of 1.22 * 60010^-9 m / 210^-3 m = 3.66*10^-4 rad

At a distance of 5 x 3 mi = 15 mi = 24.1 km this corresponds to a point to point distance of

tan(a/2) = (d/2)/l

d = tan(a/2) * l * 2 = tan(3.66*10^-4) * 24100 * 2 = 8.8 m

So in conclusion, with regular, human-like eyes he could discern points that are at least 8.8 m apart in the best case scenario. Discerning hair color from the color of the clothes would need a much higher resolution, and the horsemen are probably not 10 m apart from each other either. And again, this is a theoretical limit, real-world resolution would probably be significantly lower.
