Me over here in the U.S. trying to figure out what exactly you're referring to. ... Clicking over to the news, it's still not clear to me which drop of water in the ocean you're referring to.

The swing back to The Old Ways is more than politics. You just successfully produced a printed-on-paper magazine, for example.

September 27, 2026 Denton, Texas Denton, you're so weird. It almost makes it tolerable to live here. #31DaysOfDentonHalloween There are 8 of these alien decorations in this photo... can you find them all?

This has been my entire life. Even worse living up here in Denton, which for the Dallas gays might as well be located on the far side of the Andromeda Galaxy from Earth.

Re: "Would be funny to get told you don't fit the BLUF dress code." LOL!! Yet also, that WTF?! feeling when you've submitted a full-body full-leather photo to BLUF and had it not approved but then the next day see approved photos of just boots on a shelf.

Same kind of thing here, now that Die Orangeführer did away with the 'de minimis' exemption and then unilaterally put ridiculous tariffs on everything. I've had to stop international shopping. Also, historically I always had bureaucratic headaches sending things to the E.U. so now I don't do it.

I don't know who/what this thread is about, but it feels these days that if you're not an agendered/polygendered pansexual person, then you're automatically an everythingphobe and everyone hates you for it. And people wonder why I'm working to become a hermit...

Oh... uhm... well... me culpa. What I see is • your first name: although of Celtic origin, during England's "Latinize all the words!" phase, was misconstrued with the Latin meaning "black" • your last name: has an origin which includes the meaning "white" in it.

Seeing the photo of your book with your name on it, it just now (after all this time) jumped out at me the paradox in your name. Was it a happy accident or were your parents clever?

I'll add that executive orders are of dubious constitutionality, are not laws, and apply ONLY to federal agencies that fall within the executive branch of federal government. No one is bound to them except those employees while on the job. Google, like the rest of us, can ignore Die Orangeführer.

The US Board of Geographic Names is in charge of naming things within US jurisdiction, and are bound by federal law set by Congress (not the president). Obama opened that Pandora's Box with his Executive Order telling the Board to ignore federal law and change the name of Denali from Mount McKinley.

Okay, this piqued the interest of my inner nerd. "Conundrums" is most common, but "conundra" is also sometimes used. The word first appears in 16th Century English, likely as a mock-Latin word. So, the consensus appears to favor the English plural "conundrums" since it's not a real Latin word.

Roldán Belenos @roldan-belenos.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Let's destroy this graph with math and reason, shall we? Mwahahaha...

(1) General Social Survey is conducted in North America
(2) Data are from the year 2021
(3) Average age in North America of first sexual activity is 17 years

Calculate the average age of each generation in 2021
• Baby Boomers = 2021-((1946+1964)÷2) = 66 years
• Generation X = 2021-((1965+1980)÷2) = 49 years
• Millennials = 2021-((1981+1996)÷2) = 33 years
• Generation Z = 2021-((1997+2012)÷2) = 17 years

Subtract the first 17 years to determine the length of sexual activity.
• Baby Boomers = 66-17 = 49 years
• Generation X = 49-17 = 32 years
• Millennials = 33-17 = 16 years
• Generation Z = 17-17 = 0 years

Divide this result by the average number of sexual partners to determine how frequently a person collects a new sexual partner.
• Baby Boomers = 49÷7.1 = 6.9 years between new partners
• Generation X = 32÷6.1 = 5.2 years between new partners
• Millennials = 16÷4.3 = 3.7 years between new partners
• Generation Z = 0÷3.5 = incomplete data

Data for Generation Z is recorded only from the older half of the generation and the half sexually active before age 17; thus data is incomplete.

Assumpion: new sexual partners are common earlier in life and decrease as people age, get married, settle down, start families, etc. So a generation's final score should increase with time. My conclusion is that these numbers just don't hold up. Look at these same generations 50 years from now and I suspect there will be no statistical difference between these generations.

Roldán Belenos @roldan-belenos.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

These are bad statistics. The data are not standardized. If they are, and then other factors taken into consideration, each generation is about the same. At age 53, I am at 32 partners... However, 7/8 of those were before age 32.
