Definitely didn’t originate with Alan Moore. I’ve seen it attributed to Pablo Picasso but I think the first is probably Aristotle.
- Comment on Cheeto devouring his nation 2 weeks ago:
No, a pastiche would be in the same style. This one is more like Goya by way of Norman Rockwell.

I suppose if Jesus is telling me it happened, I ought to believe it did.
But I can’t even get a cat to stop stealing butter.

Great find! There are various members of Dolomedes in other countries. Some specialise in rivers, other lakes.
- Comment on Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club? 2 weeks ago:
They are in many countries.
- Comment on Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club? 2 weeks ago:
Why limit it to the US? Dolomedes is international.
Also yes I will sleep tight, knowing these adorable and accomplished spiders are out there living their best lives.

You sound like you are trying to trick people into getting their skin rasped off by sharks.

Unfortunately no, there are a bunch of times in both the Torah and the Bible where God explicitly tells Israel to commit genocide, eg Amalek.
- Comment on How bad is it that Israel has attacked Iran? 3 weeks ago:
Yes. You can see why I think this will have long-term global implications for nuclear armament.
- Comment on How bad is it that Israel has attacked Iran? 3 weeks ago:
For many years Iran was enriching uranium and various other countries were like, no pls.
This is a massive oversimplification but basically back in 2014-15 Iran agreed to stop trying to build nuclear weapons capabilities (and have increased surveillance of what it was doing) in exchange for lifted sanctions.
Trump of course undid all that, Biden tried to reinstate it, Trump seems to prefer to let Israel bomb Iran instead.
So in my view what has just been proven here (and in Ukraine) is if you trust the US and don’t arm, you will get attacked by your enemies.

Good point. I assumed they meant the films because the books were not any kind of technogical innovation.
- Comment on How bad is it that Israel has attacked Iran? 3 weeks ago:
It has implications for nuclear armament. Netanyahu needs a forever war to stay in power, and Iran is now further incentivized to arm itself to deter that.
Other countries in similar positions are seeing how having agreed to a non proliforation deal in the past with the US has panned out for Iran.
So more nuclear armament is probably more attractive to certain countries who don’t want to be the Iran or Ukraine of their regions.

George Washington could finally get some implants or dentures and stop stealing the teeth from slaves.

I love how you make it sound like the moon landing happened after LOTR.

If anything, it shows how naive and credulous we became. Old photos with completely made up rubbish captions are now a staple of social media.

The theory that children get to name these things makes sense.

This.
It’s low key embarassing that a whole meme can spring up based on not knowing that other places have different hygeine.

I still have a few folders of music from Napster.

Somewhere in my files I still have the recording of a hoarse male voice singing along to Ricky Martin’s “Bailamos”, purportedly recorded from Martin’s mic by a sound tech when he was lip synching live on stage.
Probably fake but I want to believe.

If you use the wrong past tense all the time, that will definitely make you sound like a hillbilly.

Thanks!

Compelling argument.
