Looks like me every morning before I've had my coffee

I have a newfound appreciation for the fish owls after this tournament. The BFOs both made really good runs against the cute tiny owls

This is exactly my primary use for them too. Although I'm gonna start using a ski buff, see if that's even better.

I switched from Liftoff to Voyager and it is very good.

Excellent - I'm really looking forward to 0.19 - finally we're getting per user instance bans which I know a lot of people have asked for. It's also adding scaled sort (promoting smaller communities) and controversial sort, which I've been really missing on the AskLemmy discussions lol. Hope the upgrade is easy!

Not_Rick has a great answer but I will add something. Your question about the quote you posted is based on a disagreement about what race is, between you and social scientists. The phrase "we can take a DNA test and get our ancestry, telling us what percentage of what races make up our overall ethnicity" already assumes that genetics = race, end of story. But this is an unfounded assumption. All the test can tell is our genetics. Not_Rick offered some good examples for the counterpoint, that genetics ≠ race. If you disagree with that basic premise then you will always be bothered by modern theories on the subject such as CRT.

Once you see that race clearly is not just genetics, you can start asking what it truly is and what things do determine one's race. These are much more interesting questions. For example, a new question might be 'what has been the historical relationship between ethnicity and "being white" in the US'? And let's not even start on the ridiculousness that is the census form.

I vote angry hitman owl, but I fear all arguments are useless against ROUNDNESS.

Hoping for an upset here. Those plumicorns are massive.

I like those fancy legs but this is an unwinnable match up, the Barn Owl is too iconic.

Thanks for running this bracket!

Not sure about the other but PoppinKREAM became known on Reddit during the Mueller probe for very long, very well researched and cited comments mostly related to politics. Their citation style in particular meant their comments got tons of Reddit awards and were highly visible.
