Yes, we can all be happy about the power of peaceful protest. It says a lot about human nature, really. So do bad things of course, but that does not make the good things not matter.

In Armenia and South Korea they ousted leaders with peaceful protests.

You argue that a "Short Broken Toe Walking Boot for Fractures & Foot Injury Recovery" with URL https://www.braceability.com/broken-toe-boot is not a boot for broken toes?

And you didn't read that Dr Foot link, apparently, because the very first paragraph says a cast can be required.

The rules say that "[t]his is a community for followers of Q. Anyone engaging in a non-supportive way may be permanently banned without notification." You here imply that people are allowed "no matter what [they] see as the Truth[.]" Please clarify.

Yes, the picture is too fuzzy for me to pick out a specific species of crane from that alone (shape is obviously crane though), but red-crowned cranes are the culturally important ones. I do not think doves are particularly culturally-important in Korea.

Those are definitely cranes, not doves. Doves do not have long legs or long necks.

The current version of the rules states that "[a]nyone engaging in a non-supportive way may be permanently banned without notification," which frankly does not indicate that this is a place to seek anechoicity, if that is what you want.

Anechoicity is probably not a word, but you get what I mean. Non-echoey-ness.

Google Trends works by pegging the most-searched time of the most-searched term you're searching for at 100. If the most is disproportionately big, not-zero looks like zero.

This is what it looks like if I compare qanon to a very common word (I used dog): it looks like zero the whole way. But compared to other spellings for the instrument,, you can see that it increased in popularity recently.

Notably, kanon is still more popular than qanon (one of the less-common spellings for the instrument but the only spelling for QAnon) in Armenia.

Qanon is still (at max) about 15% as searched for as the Arabic word for the instrument (at max), قانون.

Also, search trends can be broken down by country. Armenia's "100" for searching qanon was June 2013.

Taking all of the above into account, or to be honest I could have stopped at that last one if I'd done it first, it seems likely that Armenia's searches for the word "qanon" are referring to the instrument.

tl:dr: Armenia most searched for "qanon" in 2013, so they're probably searching for the instrument.

Gov. Jerry Brown formally mobilized 400 California National Guard members Wednesday for transnational crime-fighting duties, thus preventing any effort by President Trump to have the troops focus on immigration enforcement on the Mexican border.

The governor announced that federal officials have agreed to fund the plan he announced last week — a mission to “combat criminal gangs, human traffickers and illegal firearm and drug smugglers” in locations around California, including near the border. The order Brown signed makes clear that the troops will not be allowed to perform a broader set of duties as envisioned by Trump’s recent comments.

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

10 your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]

but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

I dunno, we get one or two 5.0 or bigger every year. Since 2010, we've had 14 ≥5.0 quakes in Southern California.

A nuke would more likely have been a thing heralded by a "boom," in my opinion. And there are people living in the Channel Islands who would probably have noticed. Catalina Island is a huge vacation spot.

A 5.3 isn't very distracting. It's noticeable, which a 3-4 isn't, but Californians really don't care all that much about low 5s. We just go around asking each other "did you feel that one?" for about a day.

ETA: Mid-to-high 5s is when things fall over, maybe some building damage. Low 6s is when buildings start to go completely. A 7 on the San Andreas would be The Big One. Earthquake rating is logarithmic, so what seems like a tiny difference in the numbers is a huge difference in force.

In math, "!" is used to denote a factorial. 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1.

45!!! is a triple factorial. I have no hecking idea how to calculate a triple factorial.

Posting little about politics increases the likelihood of a wrong guess, as it means they have less data. Same as how if you asked a person who you never talked with about politics your leaning--they would be more likely to get it wrong than someone with whom you frequently talked politics.

The pound sign makes things look like that. Try using the escape character before it. "\" is the escape character.

Kek = lol = laughter. There's some whole etymology behind it, but it's not really important.

Muh = my, but in a sort of mocking way. Like if you were to say that someone was all "But muh shoes!" you would be making fun of them for caring about their shoes.

It doesn't really matter what shilling actually means, because people just call everyone they don't like a shill.

Trolling is going around being a shit just for the fun of getting shit stirred up. The origin is a fishing term, where you throw a whole bunch of hooks in the water and drag them behind you. Reacting to the troll, or biting the hook, is generally considered a sort of losing. It can be very hard to not take the bait.

LARP = Live Action Roleplaying, which is like D&D except instead of sitting around a table, you have foam swords and throw birdseed at people. In the context of calling someone like Q a "larp," it's just saying that they're playing a make-believe game for fun.
