  • I think questions with “how”, " why", “where” etc. tend to be open. An example for a closed question would be: “Do you use apps to learn a new language?”

    Maybe you could argue about “what” and “who” questions, but I prefer uninteresting questions to be filtered out by votes instead of rules, anyway, so I don’t care.

    Also, even a “bad” question can be saved by a good answer, e.g. a report on language learning apps.





  • To me the most interesting aspect of the article is kind of fuzzy, namely why she left.

    There’s a hint, but it remains unclear what her concerns about the finances were.

    Swan has a different story. She says she raised concerns about the organization’s handling of finances, which the executives were unable, or unwilling, to address. In a 7 April 2022 email to former chairman Wiseley, Swan resigned.
    “It is with deep regret that I feel the need to step down as deputy treasurer,” wrote Swan.

    Later the article mentions her being slandered for defending a local library that displayed children’s books with LGBTQ+ themes. So maybe that topic contributed to her leaving the group, but all of this seems to have taken place after she already had left the group.

    Am I missing something?



  • Let’s take a step back from that provocation and look at the bigger picture.

    • This is intended to create division and make money (like Frank Reynolds would).
    • Neighbours shooting neighbours or rural folks shooting city people (or the other way around), that won’t lead to any takeover or to any surrendering of power on a larger scale.
    • That’s just terrorism and could (at most) cause chaos and terror.
    • If there actually was domestic violence on a larger scale, it would come down to: who controls the military or which part of the military is on which side.
    • I would avoid meaningless skirmishes e.g. in a suburb of Seattle.

    I’m not saying succumb to bullies, but whatever you do, be smart about it.


  • Look, he’s no fascist. He’s just a strong leader who’s always right, doesn’t accept ‘no’ for an answer, makes his own rules, demands absolute loyalty and calls himself not only a patriot, but a nationalist who happens to be white…

    Sure he jokes about being a dictator, but only because he’s able to see the good in so many of them. Also it would only be on first day in office, since he loves democracy, stable democracy, like in the People’s Republic of China or Russia, where a strong leader can be elected more than just twice.

    Boy o boy, people not understanding this will give future historians quite a head scratcher.
