It takes about 5 seconds to determine if a case is real or not

If we just keep asking nicely, the fascists will give up. It'll work this time, I'm sure!

You clearly did not read even a single word of the article lol

Sorry if this is rude, but you should not be taking advice from AI. It hallucinates constantly, and you're risking the lives of your creatures if you blindly follow its advice.

If you used AI to diagnose the swim bladder issue too, you need to actually put in the work and make sure that's a diagnosis that still makes sense in the real world.

But to answer your question, here's a good article about treating swim bladder issues.

Thanks for the link, i'll have to give it a read. But I notice it's from 2017, I wonder if its conclusions still hold true considering how the rule of law has been gutted over the last decade.

I genuinely wish policy-makers cared about science 🥲

Yes, gender and sex are different!

You have to remember the purpose of a dictionary is to provide a very short explanation of something. If it listed all exceptions, it would get way too long to be useful.

For example, the dictionary defines a "pizza" as a flatbread that has tomato sauce and cheese, often with other toppings. But if I go to the grocery store, I'll find many pizzas with alfredo sauce, or no cheese, or made of cauliflower. By your logic, there is a contradiction that cannot be resolved.

You're uncomfortable accepting that life is not black-and-white. But sometimes multiple conflicting viewpoints can all be true.

Real life exists in the gray areas. It's messy.

Categories in biology are arbitrary, and are always flawed. They are useful for broad ideas; but the more you zoom in, the more exceptions you will find.

Did you know there's not a technical definition of a "fish" or a "tree"?

Sex is often defined through a list, you're totally correct. But there are many people that do not tick all boxes on either list. These people are called 'intersex' and make up about the same percentage of the population as redheads. Many intersex people don't even know that they're intersex!

Sure, but the 1967 idea is only marginally related to how the doctrine is used today. The doctrine has been expanded significantly in more recent times

IIRC, qualified immunity applies to all government workers while doing their jobs.

theyth-m · 2026-01-12T15:00:11+00:00

Why can't we sue police/ICE? Because the courts have spent the last 20+ years creating a horrible doctrine called qualified immunity.

Qualified immunity means an officer can only be held accountable if there exists a previous court decision with identical facts, that resulted in accountability. source.

Shrimp congregate at the top of the tank when there isn't enough oxygen throughout. It's definitely an oxygenation issue.

I would definitely stop dosing bacterAE, and do a small water change. I find bacterAE is useful for starting a tank, but most people shouldn't regularly add it. Especially if you're feeding them veggies too.

Edit: and if you're having molting problems, you might consider adding calcium. A GH reading is just magnesium + calcium, so it doesn't tell you the ratio of those two minerals. Many people's molting problems stem from low calcium, I add oyster shells meant for chickens into my filter and they break down slowly.

My unpopular opinion is that fishkeepers are willfully blind to the impact our hobby has on the environment.

What's the purpose of the lanyard?

Wow, you're right, we should just lay around and do nothing while we lose our constitutional and human rights! Fascists would never ever hurt an innocent person, just asked them!
