#a linguist has entered the arena

Okay @dahliavandare I had to think about this one, because you ARE right about "gas/air usually isn't remarked on" and you have a point about containers whose contents match the surroundings.

But that second bit rang oddly false to me, so let me puzzle through it.

A container is full if one of more of the following are true:

The contents are different than the surroundings (ex: basket of laundry, cup of tea, etc)

The contents are the same, but there is a PURPOSE to containing a portion of the surroundings (ex: a balloon, a SCUBA tank, an air compressor, a spongy foam ball at a pool)

The contents are the same as the surroundings, BUT being "filled" impedes the container's nominal function (ex: a cup in a sandbox can't contain drink, a basket buried in laundry can't transport the laundry to be washed)

In the last case, I would argue that "full" isn't the most precise term available, though I'm open to suggestions.

I find it kind of stupid how 'half full' vs 'half empty' is framed as an optimist/pessimist thing. If it starts full and gets halfway drained, it's half empty. If it starts empty and gets halfway filled, it's half full. If you don't know the starting state it's both simultaneously.

Ok I know I say a lot of characters are “the character ever” and it’s true. About all of them. But rn I can’t stop thinking about Will Kempen. Holy shit.

**SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT BTW. READ DARK RISE WITHOUT SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T YET GUYS IM BEGGING YOU**

He’s the main protagonist. He’s the main antagonist. He’s a boy who has never had a friend, learning to have friends. He lives with the knowledge that if his friends knew who he was they would turn on him immediately. He’s falling in love with a boy. He already fell in love with him centuries before either of them were born. When the men hired to kill him caught up with him and his mother, she yelled “Run”. She was talking to the men. His mother had two other children, daughters. He longs for a sister. One of them died trying to kill him. His world is falling apart. It’s all his fault. He’s never done anything but try to fix it. He’s the most evil person to ever live. He’s so heartbreakingly good.

gasp they were ALSO roommates!

uhhh ok headcanon: during weirdmageddon Bill had a wicked phase and that's my very normal explanation and so not me projecting my own wicked phase (and in my defense they WERE roommates!)

((The bonus twist is if Bill wanted someone to sing wicked with him all he had to do was wake Mabel up from her bubble…))

I clown on Luo Binghe a lot but credit where it's due, the man is very accomplished. He survived years in the Endless Abyss and came out stronger. He has Hua Huan Palace in the palm of his hand. He even invented body pillows! Way ahead of his time.

So, just to be clear, I made a post specifically explaining that I hear this phrase as a call for my death personally. I hear this phrase as a call for the death of all Jews to be murdered and denied burial and to be shoved into the sea and provided examples as of why. And I received this in my inbox less than a minute later.

I also explained explicitly that I believe Palestinian people have a right to use this phrase and reclaim it from terrorists who took it from them. I explained that my ultimate goal is peace for Palestinians and for Jews. I explained that I wish for Palestinians to live as full and equal citizens in their homeland. I explained that anything that does not contribute to this goal of peace is causing active harm to Jews as well as deepening the conflict going on right now.

Given that information, you chose to send me this.

So you want me to die? You want to kill me, a Jewish person who does not live in and has never been to Israel? You want to kill all Jews?

Hmmm…it sounds like only one of us actually supports genocide, and it sure isn’t me.

Next time you want to tell me that you want me dead and want to kill all Jewish people, you can just say that. There’s no need to pretend you’re helping Palestinians at the same time.

PS: to all the goyim who replied to my recent posts that they support Jews and abhor antisemitism—now would be a good time to show support.

Jews cannot continue to receive this kind of targeted harassment in the name of people who claim to support peace. Standing up to antisemitism means loudly and clearly denouncing this. And if you don’t do so, I’m just gonna assume you stand with @pata-hikari, who wants me dead.

I have made it abundantly clear that I don’t support the violent response to the 10/7 attacks. I have made it abundantly clear I want freedom and equality for Palestinians. It’s time for y’all to make it abundantly clear that you understand that this message was a death threat. That people are using a phrase coined to promote hope and peace and liberation to threaten (another) mass Jewish slaughter. Do you care about me or not? Stop fence sitting or choosing sides. Fight for peace or stop pretending to be my friend and ally. An ally doesn’t stand idly by while someone they claim to support gets death threats.

Again, I don’t want ANY violence. I don’t want anyone to attack this person. What I want is to stop having to deal with this shit every day. What I want is for people to be as loud in their opposition to antisemitism as they are for Palestinian self determination. What I want is to stop having to be regarded as a good guy or a bad guy. I just want to be a fucking person and I want PEACE ONLY.
