What is with this Russian propaganda of them starting wars all over Europe and China despite them not having enough supplies to even support their “special military operation” in Ukraine?
Russian army is a fucking joke.

- Comment on Wikipeter was the founder of the site in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library 2 days ago:
“Yeah, did you read that on Wikipedia?”
Yes, I did.
Just like I used to read things at the library in the 90’s, and no-one would’ve thought to mock that. And one of the books I read was some Soviet scientists from the 50’s describing how spiritual auras work in real life.
Although that was in the 00’s I just didn’t have the internet all the time while in the army.

Ishmael aims to expose that several widely accepted assumptions of modern society, such as human supremacy,
Click link, go to “anthropocentrism”.
Bro I can believe people are smarter than other animals and still not believe we’re the best or most valuable or worthiest or anything like that.
I know dogs are not as smart as me, but they’re sure as fuck better people than me.

And you’ll probably understand why instinctively I would say cats get that more than dogs.

Don’t learn Finnish I guess.
No gendered pronouns and we honestly use “it” (se) as a pronoun. No, I would never use it in English unless I meant to purposefully dehumanise someone, but in Finnish it’s just the normal colloquial version of a personal pronoun, whereas “hän” is a 3rd person pronoun that’s more formal, (but also non-gendered) . Pets usually get to be referred to as “hän” with the more formal personal pronoun, weirdly enough.

Because mild but overmedicated cases are completely unheard of?
Oh wait, no, they’re just not documented, unlike when inpatients misbehave.
People who are not medicated enough are very easy to spot. People who are overmedicated are not, because they don’t make a fuzz.
What are your feelings on lobotomy?

And understanding what “flying” means. Yes, you’re right.
- Comment on OP has a realization 2 weeks ago:
You saw a flying thing you didn’t identify and that doesn’t really mean anything towards the existence of aliens or even advanced secret technology.
It just means you don’t know what you saw.
Doesn’t make you a grifter. If you start claiming it was actually aliens and write a book about it to sell, then it’s a gift.

Fortune in misfortune though, at least in this day and age it’s much easier paying those games without paying them. Although the DRM on some of the newer games have been a a bitch and a half.
Still, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!!

Very ethnocentric of you. I first heard it from Stephen Fry, so no, not literally zero people.
Also, it’s literally the first definition there. That’s the definition of the species in hemiptera. Just because you don’t know anyone who knows orders of animals in latin doesn’t mean we don’t exist.
I for one always enjoyed reading taxonomy, especially because sometimes translating a species can be quite weird if you don’t know the translation and have to essentially hope that the yellow-breasted warbler is the thing they also described it as in the other language. Sometimes it’s another feature.
But I’m sure you’d know roughly what I mean if I refer to the order of primates. Possibly the infraorder cetacean as well. Especially if you’ve watched Star Trek religiously.

- Comment on 🍺 🍻 2 weeks ago:
Yeah that because that sound funny. You should change it something like “look, a bug. And I say that as this is a member of the order ‘hemiptera’, also known as ‘true bugs.’”
Or perhaps it’s just your face? People listen to me quite easily.

Well no but yes.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiptera
Hemiptera (/hɛˈmɪptərə/; from Ancient Greek hemipterus ‘half-winged’) is an order of insects, commonly called true bugs, comprising more than 80,000 species within groups such as the cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, assassin bugs, bed bugs, and shield bugs. They range in size from 1 mm (0.04 in) to around 15 cm (6 in), and share a common arrangement of piercing-sucking mouthparts.[3] The name “true bugs” is sometimes limited to the suborder Heteroptera.[4]
But wasps can sting and they’re not bugs. They can also bite. So the key part is piercing with their mouth. For true bugs (as in the biological sense)

The Greek alphabet, which is the earliest known script to systematically include both consonants and vowels, is generally believed to have added vowels when it was adapted from the Phoenician script during the late 9th or early 8th century BCE.
Sorry, that paragraph is AI written but I was asking about something I know and too lazy to rewrite it myself.
The Phoenician alphabet which influenced the greek script had 22 letters afaik. Still doesn’t match the sides but it’s closer

I actually googled it a bit, and idk when “hysteria” widened to include men as well, but the very first inventor of a vibrator for medical purposes said he wouldn’t use his “percuteur” for women as that would not be fitting. But he was a religious man afaik.
There were all sorts of galvanic stimulators and whatnot so I don’t think they were all as prudes as we might think.
