Maybe don't take it in all at once. Separate everything into parts based on where a comma would be. And also realize that "due process" is one word. I am genuinely confused at how it's hard to understand.

I'll likely always point it out, but I'm surprised at how few people are willing to understand how to consider a conflict resolved.

Imagine for a moment, you're sitting in a courtroom. You appear before the judge. You sit down. An officer whispers maybe three highly accusatory sentences in the judge's ear about things that have long been dealt with. Without you saying a word, and without a few minutes having gone by, the judge sentences you to practice forced disappearance or face annihilation in some form. So many times I've faced people who you'd think believe this to be how the journey from point A to point Z is expected to play out in addressing issues, in all spheres of life, complete with a direct rejection of nuance/elaboration, and it has made me wonder if humanity really is inherently evil, for a lack of a better word.

I have a pet tanuki, which are also known as raccoon dogs, and I like to combine the slang term for raccoon which is "trash panda" and the slang term for dog which is "doggo".

I rarely press my luck either, though mostly because the fact I know how to use what I buy and buy what I use makes it so I'm not used to finding something that's past an expiration date. It used to be (and this is still slightly the case) I had to be "urged" to be afraid of it by people who were amazed I'd happily take anything regardless of a date.

Syrup I always thought was like honey. It comes from tree sap and that can even be fermented.

Aunt Jemima be like "I'm still here, critics!"

That moment when mayonnaise is an instrument.

Imagine a bag of minute pasta saying "warning, after expiration, pasta may cook in 59 seconds".

Does it lose any of its hotness?

The kind of mushrooms from the grocery store or the kind of mushrooms likely secretly sold under the grocery store?

As opposed to up front? I provide more personally, usually ending up doing it through gift cards, offering the roof above my head if they need that (as opposed to saying "here's some big ones, go get one yourself") to those in my community (it's good to do this first), checking on one's health faults using examples of good layperson methodology and addressing them when I see them, encouraging the idea of them trying their best because that's what matters, not the bureaucratic definition of profession, as it always seemed that, in the end, people need humans most of all, not what they give off.

Unless on usurped or deceptive pretenses, I do not encourage the act of circumventing bans, and other people in charge would say the same.

That said, if someone gives off the vibes that they're in the business of it, it cannot be enforced as if it were an exact science. It can only be dissuaded based on certain definitive details. We kindly ask if you may give the benefit of the doubt, and if people (not us) have the authority to do so, they will act.

Let people higher up take care of these matters. Do not harass people or vent at them over such matters, and report people cautiously, not based on whims. Or as a list of rules once said...

"Remember the human" is as good a rule here as anywhere. Thanking all for their patience.

I might as well ask this since I got stung or bit by a bee yesterday during America day.

Last year, when taking strolls, it was rare enough for a bee to swarm around me that I could go whole strolls without it happening sometimes.

This year, they swarm around me everywhere. Everywhere. It's like fighting your way through putty patrollers. They respawn instantly, there's absolutely no lag. Shoo one away and one comes back five seconds later. Sometimes for three hour strolls encompassing six miles.

What the heck happened? Anyone else notice this?

There's a baby possum that's kind enough to be a regular visitor where I am. Poor kid has what appears to be a wound on his/her face, almost like a cleft lip. I am no veterinarian, but a "code of honor" relevant to my hobby here casts a shadow over me and I was wondering what kind of issue the disfigurement represents so I don't feel guilty.

As video games develop more and more over the years, companies have been making them more and more realistic-looking. I can guess this is related to expectations, but am I the only one who doesn't care about graphics? We could be using the same processing power to store worlds that have as much exploration potential as the Earth itself if we weren't afraid to save on processing power by going back to 8-bit.
