Holding the phone with one hand while laying down in bed makes it too hard for me to reach the bottom to tap the back button.

I checked it out on Wikipedia, and it looks like a cool renaissance-type of dance. Awesome!

I had a similar experience with salsa. I had to get comfortable touching strangers and navigating that level of physical intimacy without it meaning relationship intimacy. It was a bit confusing at first, so I copied the people around me and probably asked some odd questions here and there when it came to that. "So it's okay if we touch them there? If anyone feels uncomfortable with being touched there, please let me know. I will not be offended at all." 🤦 Oopsies!

I know what you mean about getting dizzy. All those spins add up while you have to stay balanced, mentally prepare the next move, and be cognizant of your partner's body all at the same time. It's a lot to manage in real time. I've never heard about the ear trick, but that's a good one. When dancing with strangers, I often look around the room or down. That means I look at their shirt sometimes, then realized it looks like I might be looking at their breast, so I've been working on cutting that out. I've learned a trick where I can disconnect my eyes if I count the beat and pay attention to my body. I am going to try the ear trick tho.

Congrats on finding an enjoyable social hobby you enjoy! And I'm happy that it seems like the group you found in accepting and welcoming.

I love this one! How did you paint that, on a touchscreen laptop with a pen?

This one is so cool

But the data clearly shows that I function better when I'm collecting data. I even compared them to a dummy variable as a control.

Can also post pictures of you on vacation when you're not. See who shows up the house.

Just sent this to someone. Thank you for sharing ❤️

I think that's the understanding of gravity for sizes of an atom and larger, which fall under the theory of relativity. In relativity, gravity is not a force; spacetime is a fabric that is bent by the presence of matter. For things smaller than an atoms, the leading theory is quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics hasn't definitely explained gravity. One of the leading subtheories to quantum mechanics uses a hypothetical particle called a graviton to communicate gravity. No one has been able to unite the two leading theories in physics (relativity and quantum mechanics) with any experimental success. In the meantime, we just treat (a) things smaller than atom and (b) everything larger as two different worlds.

Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder…Oh…yikes

Anyone have a non-paywalled version?

That's basically what the Trump Administration did, tho they were voted out. When Trump was complaining about the Biden economy during that talking point ad disguised as a debate, I kept getting frustrated that Harris didn't say they were cleaning up his mess...in retrospect, I imagine that she wanted to distinguish herself from Trump's repeated that wasn't me that was you strategy.

• Trump used all the financial emergency tools when the economy was good. He lowered taxes and interest rates. This supercharged the economy, but left us vulnerable to normal market dangers since we had nothing stable and reliable left in the event of an unforeseen contraction. Despite economists objecting and even resigning in protest, he still pushed it through because the general population doesn't understand how the economy works. All they would see are Trump POTUS = good economy.

• Obama left us with a pandemic response team to stay ahead of any possible pandemics at the advice of leading scientists. Trump disbanded the entire thing for no objective reason, just power, control, and hate. Then, COVID happened.

• The COVID pandemic alone saw the worse market sell-off since the Great Depression. We were hitting multiple circuit breakers per week to stop a complete market sell-off. It was so bad, that just owning futures of oil was literally a loss because you had to pay to store it since no one was buying. People went bankrupt from one day to the next for merely owning oil.

• The money printer go brrrrr meme happened under his admin to prevent the economy from spiraling out of control. GAS GAS GAS!! The underlying joke was that they kept saying that inflation wasn't going to suffer the largest creation of currency in the country's history. It was straight lies because how is an immense injection of trillions of dollars with no remarkable increase in production of goods not going to cause inflation? It's impossible.

• The low-ass interest rates with a halted economy left very few places to invest money, so that went into the stock market and corporations buying houses. Interest rates were lower than stock market returns, especially since the government showed it would intervene, so wealth was flowing from one to the other creating absolutely no tangible value yet accumulating wealth for the people that could afford it. It was basically a relative wealth robbery of the middle class right out in the open.

• To solve the inflation crisis, Biden had to jack up interest rates. Now, no one wants to sell their house to get into a new loan with double the interest rate, which is exacerbating the housing shortage. Meanwhile, house insurance is skyrocketing due to climate change and the government hasn't done ahit about it.

I don't think anyone could get away with effectively hurting the economy worse than Trump did. Someone or the general population would've intervened.

These blatant lies are ridiculous. Seriously, from the economy to pointless rally attendance numbers, everything those people say is the opposite of truth. Whatever they blame on someone else is what they did. Whatever they claim they did is what someone else did. It's like living in a crazy opposite land. Freaking, they stole the playbook right out from George Orwell. ughh!!
