oh gee discord should I try adding numbers? should I try that???? should I try adding numbers to the end of my username so that it’s individualized and only mine???? should I try adding numbers??????????
idk when we decided that explaining yourself shouldn’t be part of an apology but like. if someone was a dick to me and apologizes but I still don’t understand why they did it I’m not gonna feel any better
“Sorry for hurting your feelings earlier. I was trying to say x, but I guess it came across wrong. I don’t think you’re stupid.”
or
“Sorry I snapped at you. I didn’t get enough sleep last night so my patience is a little low today.”
is a better apology than
“I want you to know that I am sorry that my actions offended you. I take full accountability for my actions and I am listening and learning. I hear you.”
listen i don’t care if you agree with what shiv did in the finale or not but the most relatable sibling moment in the entire ending was her seeing her older brother put his feet up on their dead fathers desk already gloating and smirking in self satisfaction or hearing him mutter “yeah that’s fuckin right” after roman’s hesitant vote and immediately being like “yeah actually I would rather be skinned alive than watch this play out in real time”
tbh i don’t really get why we divide the oceans into different oceans because they’re all connected it’s the same ocean
no metaphor here just pure confusion…is there a line where one ocean stops and another begins? or is it like a smooth gradient of percentages of one ocean shading into another ocean?
Yes, there is a line. There are confluences you can see and touch and they are NOT subtle in the slightest.
That’s the Atlantic and the Caribbean on a particularly pronounced day.
This is the Indian and the Pacific. It’s not always this obvious everywhere but the dividing lines are very much there.
Oceans have their own properties as far as temperature and salinity and unless something like a storm or a current forces them to mix they won’t. Mostly this applies to vertical mixing and it gives you things like thermoclines and haloclines but water is wierd and won’t mix horizontally either.
The ocean basins tend to have their own currents that go in a circle and define that ocean, and those patterns mix the water within that ocean. Like a washing machine.
The Caribbean has a little loop of its own that not on this map, but that current keeps that ocean pretty internally consistent. It’s got clear warm water because of the shallow bowl of limestone sand it sits in. Where it meets the Atlantic with wildly different conditions the water is traveling in opposite directions, and it acts kind of like an oncoming lane of highway traffic. Species that have adapted to a narrow band of temperatures and salinities (most fish) can’t cross, while species with a stronger homeostasis hang out there on purpose, (marine mammals, turtles, sharks). Plankton, that cannot control their horizontal movement in the water column, are held in their home territories by these barriers.
prev im saying this in the main post because i dont want it to get lost in previous tags but This is false information
tom scott on the topic, and theres a few reblogs that share more information too (ive reblogged this before but im too lazy to find the other reblogs rn)
My story of becoming a writer. Or at least, the popular kind. Gender Studies Major. I reblog anything I would want my friends to see. Expect the best. Or the worst. .
