Even Crohn's has different subtypes that are suspected to explain why different Crohn's patients respond differently to the same treatments. Much like the comment about lupus. Crohn's also is much more complicated than the general public is aware.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1774386/

For example, it is well established that there is a subset of people with Crohn's disease who go into remission while taking an antidepressant called bupropion and we have no idea why. No one believes this is because these people's Crohn's was caused by a psychological problem, but rather that the bupropion appears to have effects on the immune system that aren't well understood. And this appears to only work in certain people. Do those people have a different "kind" of Crohn's? Different underlying genetic response to bupropion? Those questions aren't as easy to answer as you might think.

That's not science.

In real life, a restaurant can and will kick you out and ban you from the premises for wearing a swastika and saying you think minorities don't deserve to live.

Ergo, being kicked off a company's privately owned server for hate speech is EXACTLY the same amount of freedom they would have in real life.

Everyone loves censorship. Even you.

I went to great lengths to get my family group chat migrated from FB Messenger over to WhatsApp, and then Meta bought WhatsApp. I'm doomed. I'll never get these Americans to transition to something like Signal

Also, why isn't there a slide cover to physically cover the camera, and why can't I turn off the mic and camera separately? So I just use one of those black foam stickers to cover the camera.

I have neighbors who got a one story tall inflatable dragon for Halloween last year and just left it up until Christmas. It was so popular that this year they have an entire yard full of Christmas dragons. I love it.

I love how he happily embraced the "best space content to fall asleep to" and just totally leaned into it.

His video on The Cosmic Scale is one I still rewatch periodically.

Especially if his cousin happens to own Starbox.

AI companies are most certainly making an effort to profit from the content they're deriving from copyrighted works.

Not me, but two people I knew.

The first was an exchange student from Ecuador who attended my high school. She actually cried. The other time she told me she cried was when she started dreaming in English instead of Spanish.

The second was a girl I knew in college who had moved up from Florida to attend Ohio State. The first snow that year was that dry snow that blows around, but there was enough of it that everything was covered.

Walking back to our dorm, she kept gathering up handfuls, trying to make a snowball, and she asked if we could make a snowman. We told her it wouldn't work because this is not snowman snow, and she was mystified. "There's snowman snow??"

First time we had that good, heavy, wet, sticky snow, we took her out and made a 7-foot-tall snowman haha

This is the one they were waiting for. There are several live cams trained on the area, and one of them caught the exact moment it erupted:
