Well then it's time to move on. She did, after all.

Is there a word or (concise) phrase to describe the paradox of sharing something (like a website) that you don't like, but because you're sharing it you're tacitly helping it? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I don't have a word or short phrase for you, but I do have an upvote and engagement. Best I can compare what you describe to is this: Remember when you or one of your friends in grade school smelled a particularly smelly pair of shoes or a bad fart or whatever else, and the immediate reaction is to say to the rest of the group, "Whoa sniff this!"? It's like that.

Exactly. And add to that some journalistic solidarity, when the person before you asks a question that gets dodged and then you are called on ASK THE SAME QUESTION and keep doing it until either theres an answer or the admin is forced to end the press conference in shame

To answer one of your follow-ups: Christ is a title, it's the English version of the Greek word for messiah.

Jesus Christ = Jesus the Christ = Jesus the Messiah = Christ Jesus and so forth

I love the acid-base analogy! Someonene can be transparent but super reactive, like a strong acid or base, and when it comes into contact with an also transparent but opposing reactionary force, a lot of shit needs to precipitate out before things finally calm down.

It's not coming through for me for some reason. Can you try restarting it?

What's wrong with these birch trees? (sh.itjust.works)

Apologies if the photo quality is insufficient. In a particular bit of forest, I found an area with a large birch population that all seemed to be suffering from the same issue. Something is causing the leaves to first stripe green and yellow, then turn brown/black, and while there are new leaf buds forming, trees are seemingly losing the leaves faster than they can replace them. There are other areas with birch trees on the same forest that don't have this issue at all. In the affected area, some trees have only one or two leaves left with any green in them at all.

This is in New England, USA
