If only that someone had won the popular vote over 20 years ago leaving the deciding electoral votes to Florida with the narrowest of margins (hundreds of votes, by the certified count) giving it the ability to choose its own fate in a historically close election.

Time itself stopped in stage 4. All existence was unmade and remade. The cat who entered the yawn is not the same cat who emerged. This was done for the protection of reality from stage 3. Ask no further questions about stage 4 just be grateful.

This is an interesting question but I don't think it is restricted to green. Isn't the same true of purple, blue and red? I'm not talking about just reddish like human hair or a red panda but truly bright red like a cardinal. I would imagine it has something to do with our evolutionary history. Complete speculation here but laced with a few facts I picked up. I hear the common ancestor of mammals emerged around the time the dinosaurs became extinct and was basically a tiny rodent like a shrew. I wonder if as a small animal that can't fly or swim it had to hide a lot and basically just came in shades of brown. So maybe any genes for other colors were lost before that common mammalian ancestor emerged and although mammals have lots of patterns they don't have many colors.

Best I've got is sloths. And they're only green because algae grows on them. And I know it sounds like cheating because they aren't intrinsically green but before you completely discount it there are animals that wouldn't be the color they are in a different environment. For instance, flamingos are only pink because of the seafood they eat. If fed a different diet they can be almost white.

I don't know much about politics but given the situation it sounds to me like he's just hoping to get someone with a weaker hand into that already extremely tenuous position. Democrats shouldn't be fooled thinking "but they're more reasonable". That person will automatically have a weaker position than McCarthy just because they are the second choice so it won't matter much who the speaker is just the fact that they have zero room to maneuver. What might make it worthwhile despite this? I wonder whether Democrats can extract some binding commitments like non-reversible rule changes that survive at least for the session in order to secure their votes to oust McCarthy.

The app is Covenant Eyes. https://slate.com/...

It gives you a blurred view of the porn the other person is viewing in a near-realtime feed https://www.covenanteyes.com/...

It is exactly as bad as it sounds unless they choose to claim to not be using this feature and we choose to believe them.

Here's what I love best: pretend the positions of the characters also line up between the two photos as well. Some of them work pretty well, and some work too well:

Zhaan/Crusher
Chiana/Troi - Yeah, I know you thought Zhaan should be with Troi but the neckline and also there's probably no one in TNG crew you could make chaotic good but if you had to pick, it'd be Troi.
Crais/Riker - Facial hair, of course.
D'Argo/Worf - No, you're wrong! It is actually Sun/Worf. She is clearly chief of security.
D'Argo/Data - Yes, good. I'm sure D'Argo loves cats.
Scorpius/Geordi - Biohackers.
Rygel/Picard - Most definitely in charge and acting like it. Don't let anybody tell you different.
Crichton/Yar - You... you can't see Tasha Yar in the TNG photo? She's right there in the... weird. I mean she was in the show from the first episode to the last one and she held the whole group together. She flies the shuttle. That's like... that's Crichton's whole thing. I don't see how you can't... you really can't see her?

This sounds like obvious sealioning but I've got a minute so I'll take the bait. If everyone applies that mentality it will almost always lead to the tyranny of the majority. What will cause a group that has even a slim majority to understand and take into account the needs of the minority. How will the majority even know there is a problem if the minority doesn't (as you say) "complain to everyone else". Just like the poster depicted says "so what" about it being gay being a choice, I don't care whether people define that stance as "homophobia". I do care that they understand why they shouldn't do it.

I like some of the other suggestions better than this but if you've already tried communicating about it and other things haven't worked, I wonder if for some cases you could convince him to take a video or a picture. Like, if it's a cool thing he wants you to see instead of interrupting you record it and share it when you're available instead of right now, interrupting you. Again, I think the other proposals are better but I wonder... if you're right about the motivation at least sometimes being just wanting to share something it might be worth attempting.

In the absence of any actual evidence, it does make it less true. Believing otherwise means ignoring all the obvious (but admittedly circumstantial) evidence that racism is super-fucking-popular. So Occam's Razor says if two theories have equal levels of zero evidence and one is inherently appealing to lizard brain, that one will gain prevalence so if you want to correct for that bias you have to bias in the opposite direction. How hard? Roll dice.

I'm glad the post credits the artist of the image but don't know if it was used with permission and for some reason the image is at the top but the credit is all the way at the bottom of the post. So in the hopes that more people will see it, https://framapiaf.org/...

Some of these might be a little more like 8 than 5 because they have storybook-scary but still mentioning for you to have a look and decide.

Lost Words - Beyond the Page
Unpacking
Epistory - Typing Chronicles
One Step from Eden
Wargroove
Tsioque

Technically not female lead but kinda close and definitely age-appropriate:

Chicory - From creators on Wandersong + Celeste. Not positive your character is canonically female but let's just call it very plausible and you are filling in for the titular character who is called "she".
Donut County (technically the male racoon is the main character but the only human and next-most important character is female)
Journey (likely canonically no specific gender but great game, no dialog and could easily interpret as female if you choose)

Not what you asked for but maybe consider:

Beglitched - No human characters other than the player, puzzle game with pink and purple hacker aesthetic.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - Androgynous animals and humans pilot a wacky ship in 4 player co-op lots of hearts.
