  Given the way that science headlines are composed, I’m sure this is, if not an outright lie, then a gross exaggeration, and if neither of those, a very clever interpretation of something that is otherwise probably much more mundane than it appears.

  Marten the warrior?

  I think multiple generations need to pass before the population has any immunity to this sort of thing.

  Unfortunately the scans will continue to develop in sophistication also.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My grandma passed away and my aunt sent me a selfie of her, my uncle, and my deceased grandma in the hospital bed, is it normal that I'm put off by this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My paternal grandma died last year. And my dad remarried in 2017.

  Not really enough time for his new wife to establish much rapport.

  Das had always been a Mama’s boy and lived most all of his life clinging to his mom’s skirts anyway.

  Yet when grandma died it was the new wife who casually sent me a picture taken with her phone of my grandma’s corpse in the hospital bed.

  Horrifying, and very inappropriate. All of this is to say that I can relate to your situation and no, you aren’t overreacting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a TV show that was one of your favourites, but just went on for far too long?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The pathetic manga section at my local library in my hometown of the rural United States had volumes of Dragon Ball going up only until the end of the Frieza saga.

  Since in the late '90s and early 2000s I had no reasonable way to get the rest of them, (since internet had not yet come to that little village), I considered that to be the end of the series.

  Now that I know everything that comes after, I maintain that the end of the Namek story arc is a sensible and satisfying endpoint for the series, and everything after that seems like it’s being drawn on for far too long and is unnecessary.

  Same goes for Naruto up until the end of the Chuunin tournament arc.

  Airplane. Dodgeball.

  I am prepared for your animosity.

  Photopea also!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a metaphor you like in your language?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Two that are related to falling

  猿も木から落ちる [Even] monkeys fall out of trees [too]. Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you’ll always get it right.

  七転び八起き Fall down 7 times, get up 8. Pretty self-explanatory

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germany’s four-day work week proves to be a massive hit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s getting rather tiresome to see every new report that the 4-day work week is a superior option delivered as if this is some groundbreaking new thing. Everybody knows it by now. The workers know it (not that they needed to be told), the C-suite knows it, the data backs it up, it’s all there except the implementation…

  I would appreciate it if further articles about this or instead framed as “Why don’t we have a 4-day work week yet when it’s common knowledge that it’s the better option?” or “Our corporate overlords continue to demand a 5-day work week even though the superior way forward has been laid bare for all to see”.

  Of course, since those same overlords are the ones that control the narrative, it won’t happen. But it’s nice to dream!

  I mean, yeah - they don’t.

  But did you know about the nearly 50% reduction in Threads users???

  Woke i will exhaust all local alternatives first, Amazon is my pinch hitter when I can’t find The Thing anyplace else.
