Yes what we need is more nuance between different types of support for nazis. That would make a great epitaph for democracy in fact: “We didn’t affirmatively choose this.”

Not voting is tacit support of the winner in an election. And by that I mean they helped him win. Enabling, helping, supporting, these are all synonyms to me.

That’s awesome, and I totally agree. Everyone already intuitively knows that waves carry energy. We’ve all heard of tsunamis and earthquakes. The only difference on the quantum scale is that the amount of energy transferred is discretized.

Light is generally better modeled by a wave, so I would say the wave doesn’t experience time. Photons are the smallest unit of energy that can be transferred between a light wave and a different particle. They have momentum and direction, but they don’t really travel exactly. They just mediate the force between light waves and matter.

Worded differently, a fermion (massive particle) within an electromagnetic (light) wave with a frequency of f may absorb some multiple of h x f joules of energy, where h is a very small constant. There is no way for the wave to transfer less than hf joules to the particle at a time. There is no need to think of photons as anything other than the smallest possible quantization of the electromagnetic wave rather than a particle of light. There’s no need to think of it existing for any amount of time or space.

Last time I checked a moving charge created a magnetic field, not a wave. And you determine the curl, not the rotation. You didn’t remember

“nope”! I love it! Lol identity is a fucking trip. It’s so amorphous, just as you find the words to describe it you realize you haven’t looked at it from a particular angle or accounted for certain behaviors or feelings.

Thank you it already seems to be a welcoming space! I agree that queer spaces should be more accepting of, for lack of a better word, conforming individuals. My style is somewhat subdued, and I admire and appreciate the diversity of style in the queer community, but I just wish it didn’t seem like a requirement to stand out.

Thank you so much, that is very kind!

That’s exactly how I feel! I think it’s compounded by living in a rural area. I want to fit in not only because that’s my childhood dream but also for a sense of safety. I’m not sure what the answer is either. Maybe this is just a stage of transitioning or maybe it’s possible to form strong bonds with allies, eventually, the way it seemed to feel easier with queer people before. I just know that I feel lonely at the moment and the queer community as a whole has seemed more distant to me.
