Crab kind of looks like a cross between the Japanese giant spider crab and a king crab (the latter on account of only having three pairs of walking legs).

Here’s the thing. You said a “North American river otter understands semiconductors.”
Is it in the same subfamily as the other otters? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

- Comment on My Religion 1 week ago:
For what it’s worth, that’s not an especially relevant passage here, as it’s less to do with being open about your faith and moreso about intent. For example, those who would go to the synagogue to pray but who wouldn’t in private or who would give alms to make themselves feel better and appear righteous. The Bible is crystal clear that you should be openly expressing your faith to others should the intent be to spread the religion. Mark 16:15–16, for example, reads (NIV):
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
Probably more relevant for your case are the passages along the lines of: “Look, give it the old college try, but if they aren’t willing to listen, don’t be a bitch about it; just move on.” For example:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
Etc.

- Probably cheap as dirt.
- Entertains very small kids who are statistically going to be the loudest, most impatient ones.
- Engaging for those small kids neurodevelopmentally.
- Hard to damage.
- Not ingestible.
- Hard to otherwise hurt yourself or others with it.
- Can put it basically wherever and even screw it down onto a side table.
- Too big for someone (especially a kid) to steal.
- Almost totally quiet.
It’s got too many things going for it.
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 week ago:
The phrasing heavily implies that they worked up their nerve over the course of three hours. And I’m not assuming they were attentatively listening; what’s problematic is that they leveraged (unsuccessfully) what they overheard to swoop in like a creepy vulture and try to pick this woman up while she was just trying to have a nice time with her friends.
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 week ago:
Also… what world are you living in where talking to someone you haven’t previously met, in a bar, is a social faux pas?
It’s not inherently. That’s why the sentence had more words than just the ones about being strangers. I expect you to know how to read sentences given your comment is a fucking wall of them.
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 week ago:
Yeah, this is what you should ideally do in this scenario if you want a date. My comment was starting from “assume you’ve already walked up to her table; how do you even possibly salvage this?”
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 week ago:
No, walking up to and interrupting a group at a bar after listening to them for three hours, telling them you’ve been listening, then asking one of them to dinner next week like they need saving by you is extremely rude. No one’s saying you aren’t allowed to talk to strangers; you just shouldn’t be this goddamn weird and intrusive about it.
“How are you supposed to find a partner?”
Get to know the strangers first in a capacity whose end goal isn’t a date, then ask them out when you know them somewhat? Or ask a stranger out at a place and in a context where it’s expected they might be open to it? Anyway, I’m going to go ask out random women on the street, because it’s not rude; I mean fuck, man, how else can you find a partner in this economy?
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 week ago:
“Hey, I heard you talking about wanting to date. I’ve been feeling the same way and wanted to see if I could get us a couple drinks?”
That’s still bad because this is still pretty weird, but just be a bit casual about it instead of: “M’lady most fine, I heard of your plight and wish to save you. Please allow me take you out to dinner next week.” She’s with her friends, sure, but it sounds like she’s been bringing down their night by complaining, so they probably wouldn’t mind if she said “yes”.
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 week ago:
The point of going on a date is getting to know somebody better because you’re interested in them. Why on Earth would this woman be interested in this weirdo who she knows nothing about except, at most, that he sat alone at a bar for three hours straight, listened to her conversation, and interrupted her to ask her to dinner on the premise that she needs saving from being single specifically by him?
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 week ago:
Super rude on her part, but it’s also extremely intrusive, rude, and weird to walk up to a total stranger you’ve never even talked to and ask her to dinner solely because you’ve been overhearing her complain to her friends about being single. I’m not saying it can’t work if you’re physically like an 8–10/10, but that’s effectively all she has to go on besides this obviously weird thing you’re doing.
“I’m not desperate” could totally be referring to what he did rather than how he looks.

- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 1 month ago:
- People in much more extreme climates bike at rates an order of magnitude higher than the US and Canada.
- People physiologically adapt to the climates they live in by being outdoors.
- North Americans who complain about the cold use the wind chill rather than ambient temperature when that’s not actually the temperature they’re feeling with clothes on that block the wind. They also take the coldest data points and just say “that was the whole winter”.
- Poor weather magnifies the US and Canada’s unsafe bike infrastructure. If we had safe, well-maintained bike infrastructure, it would not be nearly as much of a problem (shown by the Nordic countries biking all the time in the snowy dead of winter).
- In extreme weather, you can still delay your trip, take public transit, or take a car. Commuting via micromobility isn’t a binary yes/no thing; if you can’t on some days, then don’t.
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 1 month ago:
People in normal countries who have to commute 65 km take the train. Sorry the car lobby has deprived you of that.
