But why undertake this elaborate millinery? One study published in 2016 investigated this question by holding trials involving the caterpillars and their natural predators — spiders and stink bugs. The researchers found that attacks on larvae with a stack of headcases took more than 10 times longer than attacks on larvae that had had their stack removed. They found that the empty head capsules acted as a false target for predators and could also be used to deflect the piercing rostrum of a predator.

This is incorrect. This is not a healed scar at all. That’s a very fresh burnt wound exposing the flesh underneath without the melanin layer.
You can literally see the wound is fresh and is peeling off. Not a healed scar.
Go look up healed burn scars on black skin. The images can be pretty gruesome, but the melanin mostly returns.

Biologists would never say that. At least not any biologist worth their salt.
There’s no nurture or nature. It’s both.

But sometimes you have to invade to defend.
How would you defeat Hitler without invading Germany or all the countries he occupied?

- Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? 8 months ago:
Meh. Your value as a human isn’t tied to your accomplishments (be it having a family or getting a high paid job) or productivity.
This whole thing of “striving as a honed skill” sounds like hustling culture and capitalist brainwashing. In fact, I would say it takes more skill to actually be content with your life and not feel the constant need to strive to be someone better or do something more.
You seem to think that unless you’ve done something, you’re worthless.
It seems that according to your view, a homeless person without a family is completely worthless.

It wasn’t Hep C. though. People saying it was are talking about the book, which is different.
In 2019, Forrest Gump screenwriter Eric Roth confirmed that the illness Jenny died from was late-stage HIV. During an interview (via Yahoo Entertainment) about the film’s 25th anniversary, Roth discussed the details of a sequel that was canceled after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. He reveals that the Forrest Gump sequel was actually going to open with the revelation that Forrest Jr. had late-stage HIV, the result of acquiring the disease from his mother, Jenny.

Yeah, so they should be complaining about that. People would support them. Not complain about workers making more money and sounding like entitled brats.
