Yeah, drugs and looking into lasers will definitely change your brain, no doubt. Dunno if I want advice from someone who does that, tho…

Seems so.

This is why aliens avoid us. Whenever we discover something, we either try to eat, enslave, or fuck it. Sometimes all 3.

He looks like a Pokémon. What does he evolve into?
- Comment on tall tails 1 day ago:
That’s fair. Honestly, all of taxonomy is just lines we draw, and all of evolution is really a fuzzy gradient. We can’t even figure out where the line for ‘human’ begins, because that’s also a meaningless term, really.
So the fact that we’re fish is as meaningful (or meaningless) as the fact that we’re human.
- Comment on tall tails 1 day ago:
Sure, but isn’t the point that what we’d call ‘fish’ back when everything lived in the oceans, like pre-Devonian, the ancestors of all modern life?
We can’t out-evolve our clade, so all land animals are fish? And also we’re all amphibians, and everything directly leading to us? Insects, plants, and fungi are separate, but we’re technically fish?
Or am i misunderstanding that?
- Comment on tall tails 1 day ago:
Also people are fish. You can’t evolve out of your clade.
- Comment on tall tails 1 day ago:
It’s sneaking up on creationist levels of science, like where they argue recreations of Australopithecus are just ‘imagination’ and present their own version of Lucy as as a quadriped, completely ignoring the overwhelming evidence from her skeleton that she could not have walked that way (and also ignoring that we have hundreds of other specimens of her species).
It really seems that lots of people’s conception of these fields is based on very outdated concepts, either unaware or ignoring all the evidence and advancements of the past 50 years or so.

Also, as you move throughout your life, those attachments can cause stress in places that build up, and your bones will show all of that. For instance, even though all humans have the same soft tissue connection points, we can tell by a skeleton whether a person had a life of hard labour vs relative luxury, whether they were an archer with stronger and more stressed arm muscles, etc.
If tail vertebrae, for instance, have spent their life supporting and moving a heavy amount of soft tissue, those connection points will look much different than a similar tail of skin and bone with far less weight to bear.
So now, we have a pretty good idea not only where soft tissues attached, but their relative size, strength, and use.

For their sake, I hope you’re right.

Depends. I expect his wife is just as alt-right-addled as he was, which might mean she’ll raise them to be little Nazis. I guess they might break out of that, and I hope so, but being raised alt-right with a prominent martyr to the cause as your father could seriously fuck you up. Don’t forget they’re very rich, so they’re insulated from the real world.

I feel bad for his kids, actually.
They’ll likely be raised to think their father was a martyr, so the poor things (like 1 and 3 years) will likely grow up in the alt-right-o-sphere where their dad was a martyr to the cause.
That’s very sad. They’ll likely won’t have had a chance.

In infinite universe theory, there are nearly infinite timelines where this didn’t happen. We’re finally entering the good timeline.

This was nearly 30 years ago. I hope they don’t still make that assumption. Back then, they didn’t even ask. If I hadn’t stopped them, they would have just done it as a matter of routine. I really hope that’s changed now, and I’m curious if people who have had kids more recently in the US have a different experience. I hope so.

The hospital did this with my son, too.
I’d already told them before he was born we weren’t having them circumcised, but a nurse showed up the morning after to take him, and I’m glad I was awake, because they weren’t going to ask me. I groggily asked ‘where are you taking him?’ as she was walking away (I figured it was for blood work), and she said, ‘oh, you’re up? For his circumcision’. ‘No, no, we’re not doing that.’ She put him back in the crib.
They just assumed, and then it showed up on my bill. Took months to get the charge removed.
I’m not religious, and we don’t need to routinely mutilate baby penises, thanks.
