Poor pup knows their work is getting people sentenced through deliberately obscured trials and executed for drug trafficking charges.
- Comment on [politics] ya but, at least Juneteenth still lives! herp-a-derp! 3 days ago:
Oh, you’re playing with fire trying to be pedantic like this. You’re using the astronomical definition which starts on the solstice (some astronomical definitions treat the solstice as the center of the season, but starting at the solstice is the predominant one). Multiple countries use the meteorological definition which includes all of three months (June included in the Northern Hemisphere). The US has no overarching legal definition, but for example, US maritime law gives a batshit definition of summer as “April 1 to October 31” and winter as all the rest. And culturally in the US, summer tends to start at Memorial Day (e.g. this is when outdoor public pools usually start opening).

As much as I appreciate the ResearchGate mention, the paper literally is open-access right now on Wiley’s site. Whatever’s happening in OP’s screenshot is either some kind of technical glitch or a clerical error that has since been resolved.

You’re clearly trying to distract away from OP’s bigotry
I’m the one who pointed it out in the first place. Go fuck yourself.
- Comment on I hear you girl 4 days ago:
The who? All I see is a young woman protesting against injustice who probably doesn’t want a bunch of weirdos online sexualizing her activism into a meme about how badly she wants to be fucked in the ass.

We don’t have to lawyer around bodyshaming and act like it isn’t obvious. We can just not bodyshame and call it out where we see it instead of making excuses for it.
- Comment on I hear you girl 4 days ago:
Body shaming OP is gross too.
- Comment on I hear you girl 4 days ago:
I feel like it’s pretty fucking gross to impose this text over a sign a real person is holding. I don’t know what the original said, but unless it was exactly this, this is pretty trashy to do to someone.

Far worse than the headline even implies. The article is horrifying.

(There are no mosquitoes known from the carboniferous or anywhere even close. Even the disputed dates fall 175 million years after the end of the Carboniferous.)

Why are you assuming the rodent is of unusual size? It could be the rodent, could be the elephant, could be both. As stationary observers in a vacuum, we simply cannot know how big these are relative to anything else.
Even the text could be in rodent-point font.

Thanks for the red, squiggly underline. I’m recovering from my fifth lobotomy this week, and it really aids comprehension.

I’d add that Wiktionary itself cites this 1976 article by Robert Hausmann.

The relevant Wikipedia policy, for those curious. This verges on but doesn’t violate it.
- Comment on Almomd milk tastes like spit, btw. Cashew milk is better. 2 weeks ago:
Here’s a breakdown for some of the popular ones; almond milk is problematic for its water usage, but even accounting for locale, it doesn’t even come close to dairy milk.
That is, don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “better” if your choice of milk is part of your environmentalism and you like almond milk.

I could go look this up, but frankly, it’s your job now: elaborate, please.

Imagine you’re born and you’re a crab who parasitizes the rectum of one of these.

Welcome to industrialization
Industrialization in the form of the cotton gin was one of the main reasons slavery was so profitable in the South. What are you talking about?

- Comment on Spider Proof [SMBC Comic] 2 weeks ago:
I mean I definitely think it’d hurt him, but agreed on no crushing.
My problem is the spider sense logic. Even within the context of a joke, spider sense is clearly temporal. I don’t think Spider-Man, for example, is constantly tingling over the chronic illness he’s going to succumb to in 50 years or whatever.
By the time his spider sense is going off, you’re minutes if not seconds from finishing the compute and achieving the result anyway.

My favorite way to slap an English speaker in the face with the silly irregularities of English pronunciation is to show them the 1920 poem The Chaos.

- Comment on Evolution Factsberg 2 weeks ago:
“Pterodactyls are fish” seems disingenuous to insert when two of the previous ones are about pedantic taxonomy facts (which are true). “Fish” are paraphyletic and thus not an actual taxon, but as a practical group, it’s all non-tetrapod vertebrates – and order Pterosauria are decidedly tetrapods.

Why did you all think Japan hates them so much?
