Not really a part of this conversation but I just wanted to say that I literally do subscribe to all these statements lol. I try to reduce harm where I can, and not playing a game made by Blizzard is so easy.

Now imagine if they weren't your only child.

We need to know! Using GitHub at the moment and this is driving me fucking wild.

There are actually things websites can do which may be more common than you'd think. At a high level you could convert all the custom colours to HSV format and slightly lower the value and saturation according to some function. This is fairly common for images.

Pretty sure this is exactly correct. I read the Kurzgesagt book Immune recently and it was a fascinating view into how our bodies are really the result of ancient warfare, with constant oneupmanship between us and the environment.

No word feels great which is pretty sad considering how many child-friendly euphemisms there are for a penis. With my daughter we try to emulate the same vibe as 'willy' combined with some anatomical accuracy by using the word 'vulvy'. Sounds gross to many, makes sense to others. Your mileage may vary haha.

Thank you for answering, and for the work you do. I will increase my donation amount :)

Honest question; why does this have to be a volunteer role? Is there any room in the Open Collective fund to pay towards renumerating someone for something like this?

I believe we have it for tax allowance, where say if your partner doesn't work, you can add their tax free allowance to yours. I think that's it though.

Similarly in the UK going over £80k in income prevents you from claiming child benefit, and going over £100k makes you ineligible for a host of other benefits. A salary bump from 99k to 100k would be very expensive for you if had young children.

Stupidly though, a married couple each earning £99k would be able to use all benefits, but a couple where one earns £101k and the other £20k would lose out.

Do you mean self-effacing by any chance? Love that for you if you not though
