  Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Awkward interaction with my doctor⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I kind of agree, but I’d add that a happy marriage doesn’t mean you can’t feel sexual attraction to other people or that it’s wrong to be sexual, you just shouldn’t be creepy about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Atmospheric Slapping Tournament⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So is there some research showing it’s caused by damage? That should be easy to confirm, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👐 aliens.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, shit, I just made that comment to your other comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👐 aliens.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not what they seem!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible that none of this is real?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is possible. But if so, I’m not so sure about the NPCs. Surely you’re not the only playable character, right? That would sound like a literal main character syndrome to me ;)

  Oh, they played us for absolute fools!

  I’d argue we also didn’t suffer without cranberries - we always had the similarly delicious Vaccinium vitis-idaea.

  Hi Wilco, the others went traight to sarcasm, which is not a good way to communicate. The point they failed to make was that the continent the USA, Mexico and Canada are located on is officially called “North America”, not just “America”. And people usually don’t even use “America” for the combination of North, South and Central one. The USA is offcially called the USA, so there appears to be nothing called just America officially. I would argue that people do use America in common speach - but then the use differ locally. In my European country we use it to mean the US. If we want to talk about the continent, we can also use it, but we need to specify we’re talking about the continent and which part, otherwise it gets confusing.

  I’ve been tested - don’t have it, and I love cats. Part of the cat magic is they’re not really cunts and many people can see it. Also, the parasite doesn’t need you to love cats, it just needs you to not run away from them and to go get eaten by them. If you have a paper showing the correlation, I’d be really interested though - I have a soft spot for this topic, because I got close to a research group focused on it at the uni.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yep, that’s kind of what op is talking about. Star Trek used to scratch a certain itch for people like me in a way other media rarely did. There are people like me in younger generations as well. I feel like the approach you’re talking about is not uncommon for other series/films, while the idealistic approach is super rare or non-existing now. Therefore I find it a pity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I get you. I’m personally the oposite though: I need pure fantasy to give me hope, to set the ideal to strive for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Veganuary⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you continue reading what was after that quote? That part that says no nutrients except for B12? You quoted it out of context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should longer hair be handled by salons or male barbers?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trimming it won’t get it to grow. The more you cut it the longer the growing-out phase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So could a real flail work against a shield that way too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I liek tudles⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And it does seem to refer to that in English. Should it, though? Turtles in the narrow sense of sea turtles (Chelonioidea) are an inner branch of the whole Testudines tree, making tortoises unnecessarily paraphyletic (incomplete). It would be more logical to make tortoises the equivalent of Testudines and turtles the equivalent of Chelonioidea. Alas, English taxonomy is not always following the evolutionary logic.

  Oh shit, Sweden too! That was my emigration plan in case of serious problems. The world is fucked all around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I really want to drink it and I don’t even have it :) Do you make a plain one or do you add any spices?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, you don’t jave to, but you can :) If the honey is very runny and you don’t want to get it on the edge of the jar, it can be beneficial.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it excruciating to wait before the right dose of honey gets on my bread or into my tea. You have to let it drip - right? Or was I using it wrong? Therefore I prefer either a spoon or a knife. I also don’t let the jar open so I can’t keep the honey dripper in it and it’s quite wasteful if you should clean it everytime. And there’s no way to use it on cristalized honey, which has otherwise a very good texture for putting on bread. That’s why I gave up on using it. Did I overlook some major adventage? I still have it somewhere and I’m willing to give it another try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From other comments, I think it’s specifically for getting runny honey into tea. A spoon can do that and a lot more, but doesn’t look so cool and specialized. I use a knife for applying to bread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That IS a decent set up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All of this can be said about a spoon too, though.

  Shaka, when the walls fell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo... This is happening on Imgur⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re allowed, but surely you’d be aware enough not to walk in your costume outside the set. The same goes for theatre or anything. An actor who thinks it’s a good idea to walk outside in a nazi costume has it coming, and that’s a good thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chilis 🌶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there any source for that? I need it! It’s kind of confusing, because there are plants called chinense, that are actual chinese natives (could be a naming error, happens a lot), so I’d like to know the exact rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sensory Biology of Plants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cells are very diverse, though. Some can get over your first divide.
