And o have studied history and literally half my family is from England. This guy is not an Indian, he is a former Muslim looking to bash Hindus.
- Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey 1 week ago:
That’s a lot of text to not mention that the main issue is British Imperialism. The UK was only interested in resource extraction from India, meaning minimal investment was made into the area for centuries.

I doubt they lost any sleep knowing their dad killed thousands by denying them coverage. Why would i lose sleep for them? Hell, they are probably looking at a juicy life insurance payout, which is more than any of us will get when United kills our loved ones.

If he chucked them into a public garbage can then they won’t be able to get anything useful from the items. They’ll be so contaminated that you can’t get a clean sample.

It’s not, and i am not going to keep arguing in circles with people who want to contradict basic and agreed upon biology.
- Comment on Smug Viruses 2 weeks ago:
Viruses make the simplest prokaryotes look complicated. A bacteria has ribosomes to read nucleic acids to make proteins and enzymes. That’s the cellular metabolism that a virus actually lacks. It’s not a matter of calling a person a living thing while their cheek cells aren’t. You can take human tissue sampes and culture them indefinitely if you wanted to, because those cells are still undergoing cellular metabolism, taking in resources and excreting waste products. A virus doesn’t even have the ability to read it’s own genetic material. It’s a hostile instruction manual.
- Comment on Smug Viruses 2 weeks ago:
Consuming resources is a definitive characteristic of living things. Scienctists had to define what life is and viruses just don’t click enough boxes. It’s the same as astronomers determining what is a planet vs a dwarf planet vs an asteroid or mathematicians deciding that 1 isn’t a prime number. There has to be a hard cutoff at some point.
Viruses are rogue genetic material that insert themselves into a host cell and hijack all it’s processes and metabolism. Calling them a living thing is like calling malware a computer, or a joke between friends a movie.
- Comment on Smug Viruses 2 weeks ago:
This virus on it’s own is absolutely useless and can’t adjust to it’s environment at all. A parasitic wasp is still a seperate entity that has it’s own cells and genetic material that covers all basic function of a living thing. A virus is literally just a protein coat protecting a bit of genetic material. A parasitic organism is still doing cellular metabolism even if it isn’t in a host organism, but a virus isn’t.

- Comment on I feel this way about cinnamon. 5 weeks ago:
Cincinnati chili comes from Greek and immigrants fleeing the Balkan wars of the 1920’s. they got off the boat in New York and saw everyone eating Coney dogs and New York style spaghetti.They then get to Ohio and figure that’s what Americans like to eat, so they made a sauce using Mediterranean ingredients and flavors that they were familiar with. If they had called it anything other than chili, it would be widely regarded as Cincinnati’s greatest contribution to American cuisine.

- Comment on Tiger Predators 1 month ago:
I mean, deer kill about 400 people a year in the US and they aren’t even trying. 280 million people live in the Delta alongside a predator that is actually trying to kill them, so it mkaes sense.

- Comment on The grand prize 1 month ago:
Typically people take the cash value on prizes like that. Because not inly do you have to figure out what to do with what you won, you also have to pay taxes on the value of it.

Believe it or not, Birmingham Alabama gets about twice as much rainfall a year than the original in the Midlands. Gulf coast states have the highest average precipitation in the US if you exclude Central and West Texas

Real talk, the best fried chicken i ever had was at a run down gas station on I-20 somewhere between Newton and Jackson. Maybe ot was the 20 hours i had already spent in the car leading up to that, but it was absolutely incredible.

I rememeber people talking about 2 Girls 1 cup im the gym locker in middle school. 3 guys one hammer was a straight up sniff film that made the rounds of all the forums back in 2009. It reached a point where Lemon Party was mild enough to be referenced on a TV show.
