It's wayyy easier to believe a narrative when it makes you the victim. Doesn't really matter how credible it is.
Like there's no point in being fearful unless there's a legitimate reason to fear, and an objective way to detect this is by looking at statistics.
Any statistics on the chance of being shot by a white officer during a traffic stop while black? I have not seen any, but I might seek some out tonight. In the meantime, best believe I won't be quaking in my boots and writing a note to my family just because a cop pulled me over.
Me: Why should I be fearful of a threat when you can't demonstrate that it's credible?

@pasture The key is to become an abstract thought being. Manipulate your body as a string puppet the same way you do a keyboard.

@design_RG Fair, QOTOs column design does make it possible for you to reduce the columns to 2 or 3 and get some pretty good real estate. Still, I keep a lot of columns opena nd its a pain to destroy and create them just because I want to read a post in full form.
What I wish is there was a button where a column would temporarily expand to full width and then click it again to shrink it back down to normal.
That would let me keep my 6+ columns open but still exploit the full width of our UI on a per-post basis when needed (most posts dont need it, in fact mostly just yours do, lol :) )
@design_RG Markdown support would be pretty cool! Though it would be more useful if we had a better UI for expanding posts when we read it. With the relatively narrow column based layout it doesnt lend well to formatting.
With that said markdown wouldnt work on apps, it would only work on the web interface.
It might actually be doable similar to how we do mathjax, by post-processing with javascript. this might be a more doable feature than most if the javascript is already out there.
