Juniper (she/her) 🫐

To really put this to rest:

Harakiri and Seppuku both literally mean abdomen/stomach cutting. Those who know some Japanese may recognize hara from the common phrase hara hetta which means you are hungry (literally, your stomach is decreasing in size or diminishing). Kiri means cut.

腹: hara 切: kiri

Seppuku simply reverses those kanji: 切腹

Why are they pronounced differently? Harakiri is a native Japanese word, using more traditional Japanese pronunciation Seppuku is a borrowing of middle Chinese roots: setsu from Middle Chinese tset meaning to cut, and fuku from Middle Chinese pjuwk, related to modern Mandarin fūk, referring to your abdomen.

So, setsufuku was shortened to seppuku where the Ps represent a stop and skipping of part of the word.

OMG! I genuinely thought all the tape measures I have handled were a little broken.

My intuition would be floor 2, as it is the lowest floor to the ground that isn’t underground

Funny, did you catch the part where he projected that on Harris? He accused her of claiming to have never met Biden 😂

The people who hated on Bill Nye were conservatives, and they did so because he explained concepts like Gender which they did not appreciate (i.e. does not fit into their reductionist misogynistic harmful ideology). Bill Nye is great.

Montana has Zooey Zephyr, the woman who was famously censured by the state legislature and received national coverage.

Socialism is inherently democratic

Good thing Proton is a nonprofit then 😊

I suppose you’re saying that since Obama’s mother was white that makes him part-white, but that’s not really how race works in the US. Maybe it should be that way, maybe it shouldn’t, but right now it doesn’t.

It depends on the size you are viewing it at. This works well on small screens but less well on large screens

Take an empty list and add an object to it. Get a list with an object in it.

Take an object and add an empty list to it, that doesn’t do anything, get a zero for false?

I don’t get why you think this is about gender identity. But, fighting for truth is fighting for trans rights.

You didn’t talk about anything you don’t know, and you mentioned you like the soundtrack. Seems like a good contribution to me!
