Whoa...the post settings from the admin accounts are really different than the normal accounts.

I'm sure you're expecting Jo or Maury or one of the others but those are all people who are way smarter and way more qualified than me, and those people are working overtime to trace down a signal we keep picking up on. Not sure what it means yet, but I'm hoping for the best. We thought we were able to isolate the problem when the other regions appeared on the current layer but it's something deeper.

But hey, isn't that what we're all trying to do here? Hope for the best.

Call me curious, but what's your favorite color? I've been teaching myself color theory lately. Bonus points if you say "why", too.

Passion is a soft feeling. So is love.

passion is about having strong feelings for something. it's the opposite of a soft feeling

Passion and love are essentially the same thing.

no they're not

love is a romantic attraction or a strong personal attachment to someone else, and has varying states and attitudes

passion is a single, extremely strong desire and sometimes barely controllable emotion usually directed at something

an example is if you had a really good meal. you'd say "i loved that meal", not "i have passion for that meal". passion tends to be for a set goal. like i'm passionate about completing my law degree, but that doesn't necessarily mean i love it

Why bother if you don't love it? That aside, those words tend to be associated together for a reason. Such things like "passionate love" exists, after all. That only serves to make them softer... And while your example may be correct in a grammatical sense, it doesn't support the definition you gave me.

Even if you don't want to consider love a weak emotion, it's still a soft one. Red is a bold color better suited for bolder symbolism. I stand by what I said... Love and passion are more suited to pink.

having "passionate love" just means the love you feel for something or someone is so strong and nearly uncontrollable. how does having an intensely strong emotion make it "softer"? that doesn't make sense

i never said i considered love a weak emotion. it's usually considered softer because of the warm and pleasant feeling it can bring. but passion is directly tied to being bold and intense about something. being passionate IS being bold
(like how apollo is going to be passionate about shit talking malik later.)
