"I don’t see what the point of being gay or lesbian is." The point is that gay and lesbian love people just like straight people! It's not something people choose (did you choose to be straight?) and it's simply a word used to explain a part of one's experience in life. If you're talking about the activism and rights, I personally think that people should have the right to consentually love who they love! People do not choose who they love. They should not be made to feel bad for it just because they love someone different than what others would expect. Besides, it does not affect you what other people do in their own private time, right? "From a religious and social perspective, it is in my opinion a morally disgusting thing to do." You mention Islam in your next sentence. Let's look at it. Islam forbids eating pork. Does this mean absolutely everyone, even if those who do not follow Islam, should never eat pork? Should one person's religion dictate how other people should live their lives? Additionally comes the conflict of one's own religion condemning their lives and private actions. I do not have much insight into this, but some other users might be able to tell you more about how one can be both LGBTQ+ and religious. And from a social perspective, I ask you: why is it immoral? In specifically gay, lesbian, and bisexuality, why is it immoral to be free to love people? Isn't it more immoral to judge people for loving others and doing what makes them happy? (Also, if you ponder the question if homosexuality is natural, there are multiple scientific studies on this that you can research! Additionally, if it was unnatural, what is so wrong with it? Buildings are unnatural, yet they provide us shelter and aid in our safety and survival. Technology is unnatural, yet it can be used to advance knowledge and save lives, such as in the medical field. Being unnatural does not necessarily equal being bad.) "In a religious perspective in the main three religions in the world, Islam, Christianity and Judaism, the topic of LGBTQ is discussed very much and in a way that suggests that it is a disgusting and filthy thing to do." I am not very familiar with religion, so I sadly cannot discuss with you much about the history of homophobia in religion. Maybe some other users would be open and knowledgeable on this topic though! One thing I have to note is that there are other religions (search this up as i am unaware of the exact ones and do not wish to spread misinformation!) that do support LGBTQ+. Does this mean that those religions are wrong? Or do they simply have different beliefs and that is okay too? Shoudl society be entirely dictated by whoever has the most power and influence over others? But again, I ask why should we control people's personal lives? Why should we limit what makes them happy and healthy? "It is crossing the limits, in general." Crossing the limits of what? That people should be able to do what makes them happy in their personal lives? "You might say that it is expressing ‘freedom’ or that ‘it is their choice’ but that’s what countries have put in your head." Do you not think that freedom to be who you are and loving other people is good? Do you disagree with choices other people make in their private lives that make them happy? Do you think everyone should follow exactly what everyone else tells them to do? In countries that do not allow homosexuality, do you think it is right that people who are different do not deserve the same things that make them happy? "the truth has to come out." You see, when we are looking at morals, something which changes depending on the person, there is no singular truth. There are simply opinions, and no person is completely right. Belief systems are not truth, they are simply beliefs. Even what I have been debating with you is not truth, but simply opinion. "it has been bothering me this whole time." What people do in their own lives bothers you? People not being shamed for something other people do too bothers you? I ask genuinely, why? "I’m... EXTREMELY concerned for society" Does people being equal to others concern you, that they can do the same things? People not feeling sad to be themselves make you think the world is ending? People being LGBTQ+ does not hurt society—I think that it actually helps by being compassionate toward others who different and showing that people do not all come identical to each other.

@CafeFlareon, it has been brought to my attention that you have used pure white (255, 255, 255 in rgb or #ffffff in hexadecimal). please remember to avoid using pure white, as per the pokeheroes communal space rule 3.1! thanks :) to fix this, you may post again to touch up your character and fix any errors :) edit: issue fixed! back to normal! next artists may post now :) [Read more] |

welcome to the artist collaboration pokeheroes communal space! it's a community art piece! below is a drawing of some rather empty rooms, drawn by me.  task it looks... awfully quiet. it needs some life! your job is to draw one of your characters or a representation of yourself somewhere in there! maybe interacting with someone else? perhaps hiding in the corner? enjoying their favorite hobby? any character in any style are welcome!! looks plain and boring? maybe you'd like to add some color or details to the drawing! make the place look lively!! anyone is welcome to participate, regardless of art skill! simply download the most recent image posted by the last user, send it onto your digital drawing software, draw your character and perhaps some additions, then send it back to the forum in a new post! rules to prevent too much chaos, please abide by the following rules.  Show
hidden content
1. before you start drawing, make a
"drawing in progress" post! then, when you are done, edit your
finished product in! this allows any other users to wait until you
are done so your additions are "saved" and they can add onto your
final product.
2. one at a time—only post and start drawing if no one else is drawing! check to see that the last person's post is not "drawing in progress." if the most recent user is currently drawing, simply wait and check in another time! this ensures that everyone's doodles get added into the final image without skipping over anyone. 3. please upload your finished image as a transparent image! if your program cannot do this, download the non-transparent version then run it through another software that can transparent the empty pixels! 3.1. please do not use pure white when drawing/coloring! pure white is (255, 255, 255) in RGB and #ffffff in hexadecimal! we do not want accidental transparenting from other artists after you of your character's eyes or other whites! 4. add one character only per user! and try not to make them too big! this leaves enough space for other people to add their character :) 4.1. you may make multiple posts to make extra additions to the rooms and your character, but you may not double post! this is to give other artists a chance too! additionally, when you make extra edits, remember the one character per user rule! please do not add more than one character. you may modify your existing character, but please do not have more than one in the artwork! 5. please avoid modifying other people's characters! try not to draw on or change other people's characters. you may add or draw on the room details of others, but please try not to touch their lovely characters! 6. free reign for the artists after you, abiding by pokeheroes rules of course. only add your character if you are okay with other characters interacting with them! 7. please don't take too long! you have 48 hours after posting to edit your additions in. this is plenty of time for a character and some details. if you do not make it in time, please notify me or i will politely send you a message! if you take too long, you will be skipped, or even banned from posting if you continuously take too long. you may also post a "cancel" message anytime during your 48 hours to stop your turn and let the next artist go. 8. you are free to edit or remove some of my lineart! for example, if your character is sitting on a chair, you can remove the part of the chair that they are covering. 9. please avoid making changes such as quality downgrade or canvas size change! if this occurs, i will temporarily pause the art chain and reach out to the artist to try and fix this issue!! for any questions or concerns, you're free to message me! that's all for now! now, let's make this place look lively!! first artist: please post to save your spot, then download the image and start drawing! the artists after that: simply make a post, download the image posted by the most recent person when they've finished, and upload your result when you're done! good luck with creativity and have fun!

this wondering came from me eating cheddar cheese as a snack. when it was still cold, fresh out the fridge, it was more solid and non-oily. but after i leave it out a little bit, it becomes more bendy and more oily. in cold, solid cheese, the fat is a solid! but when it warms up, the fat melts into a liquid! that liquid fat means the cheese is held together weaker; the cheese becomes more bendable! the liquid fat also ends up on the surface of the cheese, so it's the oil!

chemistry time! teeth are compased of some chemical compound called hydroxyapatite, containing calcium and hydroxide (a base). eating sugar produces lactic acid (an acid). in short, these two compounds, hydroxyapatite and lactic acid, react with each other to displace calcium out of teeth! extension! since this compound teeth are made of is slightly basic, eating acidic foods will also cause a neutralization reaction (funky combination when acid and base mix!) and remove calcium from teeth.

geographic north, also called true north, is the north end of the axis upon which earth spins. on the other hand, magnetic north is where a compass needle points—the north pole! earth is an imperfect magnet; north is not perfect north and south is not perfect south. and since earth is complicated with its rotations and stuff that happens at its core, the magnetic north is not fixed and can move around! (fun fact: the north pole is actually the south end of earth's magnet! north is attracted to south, and your north compass needle points toward the north pole, the south end of the magnet!) therefore, geographic north is not the same as magnetic north. geographic north is north on earth, and magnetic north is dictated by fancy processes in earth's core that ends up different from geographic north.

afaik, all liquids freeze into more dense solids, except water turning into ice! ice is less dense than water and ice floats on water. for many years, i did not know why this was. but now, i learned that it's because of the molecular shape of water (chemistry) and kinetic plus thermal energy (physics)! in a basic short summary, the H2O molecules in water are close together and can easily flow past each other. but when it freezes (loses thermal energy/heat), the molecules slow down in a particular way that forms hexagon shapes, which make the molecules further from each other! less molecules in one spot means less dense. therefore, ice is less dense than water because there is more space between the H20 particles in ice.

before, i only knew the greeting was used during the morning time. but i remember my mother telling me before that the term can be loosely used to mark the start of something, notably a shift on a job. for example, night shift people may use "good morning" as a greeting— even when it's clearly not morning—to wish a good start of the shift. yesterday, a public transit bus driver was greeting everyone entering with "good morning." due to my knowledge of what i learned beforehand (learned from me being totally thrown off from a previous bus driver saying the same outside of morning hours), i managed to naturally say "good morning" in return :) maybe that driver just started their shift today !! i feel like this is one of those things people don't teach you, but that is just picked up or something. like one of those social cues that are just known or whatever that makes little sense to those unaware of it. tdlr, i used "good morning" outside of the morning time !!

i will be sharing cool things i learn here! 🔥🔥 sometimes i want to share cool small facts and other things i learn, but i don't want to make constant feeds about every small thing. that's what this is for! subscribe to the forum thread if you're interested in the highlights of what i've learned today :) most of the things i share will be nerdy and related to STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), because i absolutely love STEM (TIL nerd edition real 😂). but there might be some other topics scattered throughout as well! you're free to post here about facts and experiences relating to what i learned or posting your own cool 'today you learned!' :) i will do my best to share what i learned and try to explain it according to my own understanding :) i may be wrong sometimes! double check my info before sharing around if you're interested! let's now roll into... the first fact! today i learned about half even rounding! normally, when one is rounding numbers, they round digits 1-4 down to 0 and 6-9 up to 10. but what about 5? in half even rounding, 5 is always rounded to the nearest even number (of the digit before it)! for example: - 3.5 would be rounded to 4, since 4 is the nearest even number. - 4.5 would be rounded to 4 as well :) this half even rounding is useful to average out rounding with the digit 5. this is important because rounding half up (5 rounds to 10) or half down (5 goes to 0) constantly will get you a slightly inaccurate number over time! the idea is that with half even rounding, by probability, it should round up 50% of the time and round down 50% of the time. a comment under this answer explains it well! a few days ago i learned calculators can have floating point inaccuracy! computers (including calculators) are run on binary language. this is a language with only 0s and 1s. because of this limitation, some decimals are impossible to represent accurately. if a decimal is too small or complex, a calculator may not be able to compute it correctly and must round it. in my calculator, inputting 0.99999999999 and pressing the '=' button outputs 1. can you believe it? my calculator says that 0.99999999999 = 1 !! i learned this from this wonderful youtube video! more cool calculator errors featured in the video if you're interested!

do you see in the bottom left of your screenshots that there are an absurd number of guests? over 700 of them. normally, pokeheroes has about 100-200. i suspect someone was trying to overload pokeheroes at this time by loading too many users at once to attempt to lag or crash the site (ddos attack). i was online during this time watching the guest counter go up by 50s in one second, and it did indeed make the wingull gulf lag, along with all other pages. this should be a one-time bug (only occurs when someone is ddos attacking; rarely). but if this happens again outside the high guest limit, you should update this post with more info!
