You can also just print out a QR code with all the info and stick it to your fridge. No more arguing about capitalization or punctuation. Your guest wifi can now be anything you want and hardly anyone using it will notice what the password actually is. I like to sneak a joke in there to see if anyone's paying attention.

Another pro tip, if you're throwing a parties with larger groups of people, spin up a temporary guest wifi without any password. And put it on a separate VLAN, use device isolation, and throttle that traffic because you were doing that anyway for the guest wifi, right? Comcast/Xfinity is the going monopoly in my area so I usually just name it after their hotspots. Then you don't have to do anything special when randos and +1s want to connect. Most people with the same internet provider probably connected automatically. Of course, you'll need to remember to turn it off later.

That's my point. Your judgemental "speaking your truth" is antithetical to the entire point of the post. To be sure, it is a paradox of tolerance, but that's no excuse.

Given how hung up you are with what other people enjoy (it's sooo gracious of you to not complain to them directly) and your judgement of the "quality" of that enjoyment, maybe you should try a little more of that introspection you seem to admire. As long as they're not hurting anyone else, their hobbies are theirs. Not everybody needs to be a philosopher for their hobbies to have meaning to them. This post isn't about YOU approving or accepting of other people's weird hobbies. It's about admiring people because of their enthusiasm, regardless of you or anyone else thinks. Focusing on your own judgmental attitudes about those hobbies totally and completely misses the point.

A burger is a sandwich with ground meat pressed together to form a patty. A patty is similar to, but also distinct from, a sausage. No patty? Not a burger. A sloppy Joe, pulled pork, or pulled chicken sandwich are similar, but definitely not burgers because there is no patty.

Why isn't this already a banging power pop ballad? I feel like these lyrics would fit right into a song sung by Bonnie Tyler, Stevie Nicks, Lady Gaga, Lorde, or even Taylor Swift.

He's blinding it by putting a bag over its head, but the bag is strangely not illustrated. Ostriches calm significantly once they can't see. The meme of an ostrich sticking their head in the sand has some basis in reality, especially considering they love building their nests in sandy areas.

I think the guy in the front is pantomiming putting a bag over its head, but the bag itself is missing from the illustration.

It probably doesn't at all, but the logo in the thumbnail looks a lot like the Crimson Dawn logo.

What is this? Songs of Crimson Dawn?

Whataboutism is an easy logical fallacy to fall into. Art being supported by rich patrons isn't exactly a modern new thing. And brands are kind of inherent in the fashion industry anyway. This kind of art may not be my thing or your thing, but it's still art, and still VERY different than demeaning gossip around gender stereotypes.

Admiring artistic fashion choices by people that often make other kinds of popular art and denouncing the reactions of misogynists attempting to demean and dehumanize those artists simply because they are women are two VERY different things. What's sadder is your "both sides" reaction to a clearly toxic attitude vs. people exhibiting art through fashion.

I love a good silhouette (I'm not the one who made the original compliment), but that other one with the little bend to the feathers and the perfect lighting of the far wing is pretty great too. It would have been so easy to loose that detail, but that far wing caught the light just right. The rest of the composition for the contrasty silhouette might be ~~better~~ more popular, but that other one in flight is great too. Sure it's not super 'nat geo' sharp, but that just adds to the sense of motion here too.
