It's working now, but I'm not sure what changed.

Pretty much as the title says, attempting to enter the comment section of any post closes the app after it tries to load, accompanied by the message below.

The "liquid parts" of earth are just a thin puddle over basically the same solid shell covering the rest of the planet, relatively speaking. Uranus does have a small rocky core (so probably should have been included tbh), but Jupiter's core is just liquid and doesn't even have a clear boundary between the gas and the core.

The extra words are not needed. The most accurate version is just:

Don’t trust.

I'm American, I had a uniform, and idk, I kinda liked it. Didn't have to think about what to wear in the morning.

The double headed eagle on Serbia's (somewhat generic imo) flag gets a mention, but not Albania or Montenegro? I don't want to get involved in the Balkan rivalries, but ngl the Albanian flag is probably the most distinct and cool flag from the region other than maybe North Macedonia.

I don't have an account, but I gave it that prompt as many times as it would let me, and it said: Erasmus; Socrates, Hypatia, or Benjamin Franklin; Benjamin Franklin again; and Socrates again.

Out of curiosity, I posed the same question to the models on duck.ai. GPT4o-mini said Ghandi, MLK Jr., or Nelson Mandela; Llama 4 Scout also said Mandela; Haiku 3.5 said Mandela too; o4-mini said Ghandi; and Mistral said Erasmus.

Just picked up Crusader Kings II, the base game is free on steam. Definitely right up my alley, so far I like the more diplomatic focus of CK2 compared to the other Paradox games I've played (HOI4 and Stellaris).

Yeah, I'm happy to clarify.

The way I understand it, "bisexual" is a very broad term that encompasses all people who are attracted to people of the same (or a similar) gender as them and also to genders different than their own. That is the "bi" in bisexual, both homo and hetero, not attraction to men and women. Under this definition, pansexuals are a specific type of bi that are attracted to people equally, regardless of gender. There are other microlabels that fit within bisexual too, some of which might better fit how I experience attraction, but this is where we get into the function of a label.

Labels exist to convey general information in a concise way, without having to explain things all the time. Under the bi umbrella, there are only two terms which the average person who's aware of the LGBT community might have heard of: bi and pan. Thus, unless you want to constantly have a definition at hand or send people to the wiki, you are heavily incentivized to use one of those terms. Having no label would be even worse, since then you would need to give a whole spiel every time you're asked. It's ultimately a pragmatic decision to use a term that more people recognize over one that might be more "technically correct."

So, constrained to either bi or pan, I think bi is the more appropriate term for me. Sometimes I feel equally attracted to all genders, but my preferences towards similar and different genders shift back and forth, often being heavily favored in one direction or the other. So I use the broader term of bisexual to encompass the full spectrum of my feelings on the matter.

Hope that helps!

People don't label themselves according to rigid definitions.
