Sadly it seems like the philosophy PhDs getting the real cash from YouTube are the ones that peddle extreme misogyny and other various bigotries, eg lobster man.

Edit: wait, mixing up my Ps there, he’s a psych phd and not philosophy

The ultimate townies, on a universal scale.

One end for cooking, the other end for tasting. Gotta keep your cooking and tasting separate. Or don’t, I’m an internet poster, not a cop.

They made a mini series out of it on PBS!

I mean, why not? There are Spanish words with an x in them that make basically the same sound as in English: extranjero, excelente—and while I’ll give you that those are at the middle of a word rather than the end, there’s even ex (as in ex boyfriend) that can just be used alone.

If you want to say it needs a vowel to make sense in Spanish, sure, throw an e in there for clarity.

I have only ever seen latinx used by white people being performatively anti-racist. Never seen it from an actual Latin American person.

Now you have, I guess? Some people use Latinx in English and latine or latin@ in Spanish. Most don’t use either and just say Latino in English and Spanish. This whole “only white people do it” (who are never also Latino for some reason?? You can be both) thing isn’t something that makes sense to me.

That’s what the nonbinary Spanish speakers I know use in Latin American Spanish as well.

And then the younger orcas won’t get why it’s ironic and will think it’s actually cool and wear them sincerely, and it will slowly become unfashionable again. Until another 30-40 years pass.

I’m glad you got seen by a doctor!

A bat being active during the day and colliding with you is very abnormal behavior. If rabies exists where you are (this includes the UK for bats) see a doctor ASAP. Like, I wouldn’t go to bed without doing it. It’s possible for you to be bitten without feeling it because of how small they are, and disorientation is a sign of rabies in bats.

It’s totally fixable even if it did have rabies and bite you, you just have to go get a (normal, NOT in the stomach) post-exposure shot.

Did other areas of the world ever develop aquaculture this extensively before the modern era? I’m not an archaeologist or anything but I can’t think of any well known ruins like this. Very cool.

Disclaimer: yes, it is good to have evidence for this.

That said, it’s very ‘scientists discover the world existed that way for a reason before we started fucking it up.’

I wonder if it’s possible to quantify how much of the reforestation in the US over the past 75ish years is monoculture tree planting rather than a diverse selection? I know I definitely grew up near a fair amount of “forests” (rows and rows of pine) that were deserts biologically.

Belly rub hack: if your cat is being annoying and trying to get at something they’re not supposed to, it’s really easy to get away with grabbing and rubbing/jiggling their primordial pouch. The curiosity/naughtiness usually outweighs the flee/attack desire for much longer.

Not the exact same as a belly rub on their back of course, but I’VE GOT YOUR BELLY! I’VE GOT YOUR BELLY!!

If you needed a trans person to come tell you this is not okay: hi! Here I am! Don’t do this. All it does is advertise that you view using someone’s correct name as a privilege that can be revoked for bad behavior.

Although Teixeira asked Discord members not to share the documents, an investigative journalism group, Bellingcat, found that Teixeira’s friends spread the documents widely, first to other Discord servers, then to Telegram, 4Chan, and Twitter (now called X).

What’s the saying? Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead?

Poo-filled center?

Big deal, I could sleep like that too if my bones were made out of rubber 🥲

I read an article about a leather artist who recycled secondhand Gucci (I think? It was a big name fashion brand is all I recall) bags into wallets and things like that, and despite everything being clearly labeled to make sure nobody could mistake it for an official product, they had a similar experience. I wish I could find the article again, because I don’t remember what came of it and my search skills are failing me.
