Yo straight people are the ones having waaay more kids and they’re still naming plenty of them with non-stupid names. Let’s focus the hate where it belongs: people who try to create personalities for themselves by using their child as a proxy for their unfulfilled hopes and dreams.

The title had me like “What did those tiny carnivorous plants do now?” but no that’s Utricularia.

Iirc he went into therapy, got a major cult-boner for his therapist and then started bossing his partner around, claiming that she was toxic by misusing therapy language.
- Comment on The Beamscope TV Magnifier - one of the most worthless game accessories of the 1980s. 1 month ago:
I had one for my Game Gear that added more than few inches to the handheld’s depth, but did a decent job of semi-rectilinearly magnifying the screen. The backlight probably helped, since it wasn’t relying on light bounding in through the lens and then back out.

I like Nile Red’s content, but his style is a little too wooden for me. Explosions and Fire / Extractions and Ire scratch my chemistry itch.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
1: She’s a woman of color so she has to be 75% better than average for anyone to pay attention.
2: Executed moral standards are more important to the left than the right. Declared moral standards are more important to the right.

This is genius but too high effort. You may sit on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of shitost.
- Comment on First reactions to Borderlands call it a "game over" 3 months ago:
How anyone could have seen the first trailer and thought it would have been anything but absolute drek is beyond me.
Borderlands is media that works as a video game because you are a willing participant in the idiocy. Its brand of idiocy is too idiotic be enjoyable if you’re not a part of it.

Red Bilk is the best.
- Comment on obesity 3 months ago:
Human beings are subject to the laws of physics. If you eat more calories than you consume and do not otherwise eliminate from the body, they will still be in the body. The body stores them as fat. This is simply the mechanics of biology. If it weren’t, things like Ozempic would not spur massive weight loss.
We have more obese people now than have ever existed. Countries that do not have US/Mexico levels of easy access to heavily processed, calorie-dense foods do not have obesity problems like we have. Clearly, calling people names and making them feel bad is not a good way to get them to adopt healthier habits. However, there are plain, uncomplicated things that people can do to lose weight that will work, but they will ONLY work if the people want to change, are honest with themselves and truly stick to the changes they need to make.
Losing weight is absolutely within reach of 99% of obese people, but comments like this reinforce the absolutely incorrect notion that getting healthy is some big mystery that’s for a different class of people to solve. It’s defeatist and makes it seem like a problem that a person can’t solve on their own, which is straight up wrong.
The plain, uncomplicated things you can do? Find out how many calories a body of the weight you want to weigh uses in a day. Limit yourself to those calories. Given time, you will be that weight if and only if you stick to the plan. It may shock some people how many calories they actually consume in a day, especially if they drink soda or juice with any regularity.

Saying they suck things in isn’t really correct, unless you want to also say that the sun is constantly sucking Earth toward it. It’s just gravity.
Also, magnets don’t only work on ferrous metals. Magnets push electrons through copper loops in generators and that’s how we have electricity.

Given the way they’re describing it, US south/southeast. The pitcher plants that grow there grow in marshes and swampy grasslands are from there. Pitcher plants elsewhere in the world are a different type all together, and are generally epiphytes or close to it.
Except Australia and certain south American highlands. Or the pacific northest US. There are like 4 families of pitcher plants, only two of which are closely related (counting sarracenia and darlingtonia together with heliamphora in the family and nepenthes and cephalotus on their own).

Balatro is FTL with playing cards. If you think FTL trains you to fly interstellar missions, do not play Balatro.
- Comment on Venus Fly Traps 5 months ago:
Before it got jaws it was a glue trap. Venus flytraps are an evolutionary offshoot of Drosera, the sundews.
- Comment on Venus Fly Traps 5 months ago:
Another fun fact is the Yellow Trumpet pitcher plant’s (sarracenia flava) flowers smell like cat pee.
- Comment on Lions are just big cats. They like scratches under the chin and everything. 5 months ago:
Male gorillas and lions both top out around 500lbs. Do you think you could kill a cat the same size as you if that cat wanted you dead? With your bare hands?
- Comment on Powerful enchantment 5 months ago:
Paralyzing is super broken in Skyrim. It doesn’t actually matter how long the target is paralyzed, because paralyzing them at all causes them to fall, starting a lengthy stand-up animation, during which they’re vulnerable. Hit them, they fall. They start to get back up, so you hit them more. Eventually, they stay down.
- Comment on Why do people throw out old motors, bicycles, anything metal into rivers and lakes instead of a junk yard or the trash system? 5 months ago:
If it’s big and metal there’s a scrapyard that will, at the very least, take it off your hands for free. Free metal is free metal. Getting the big metal thing to the scrapyard is another story.
- Comment on Carnivores 6 months ago:
They can’t live in soil that’s got what they need because the nutrients burn the plants’ roots. They got so specialized for nutrient-poor bogs that they can’t live anywhere else.
- Comment on Food Delivery Apps: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) 7 months ago:
I did that. I was abused the entire time by an app with no means of communicating with those in control of the app. Sure, I could go and yell at support over being fucked over when a bundled order took me 10 miles farther than the app said it would and there was no tip attached, but they were also being abused since they were contract workers in India who had no means to alter my pay.
The guy in the video was right, these apps are leaches. I’m sorry if you’re currently having your blood sucked by them; I hope the trips are short and the tips are good.

Spanish, too. Translating things that you lay out, like flyers or handouts, from English to Spanish is a massive pain because you need to rearrange for all the additional text.
