  Unless you go for Cartesian dualist theories about immaterial souls, consciousness of the sort we experience is an artefact of the structure of our brains and nervous systems, which are large in scale and complex. A small blob of human-derived brain tissue is not going to have consciousness, let alone self-awareness and a sense of horror at its predicament, any more than a 555 timer is capable of playing DOOM by virtue of being made of silicon.

  Well, a man who scanned the periphery would come across as shifty (“what’s he looking for? is he some kind of voyeur or predator? he’s not staring at that girl’s tits, is he, the creep?”), so looking straight ahead is kind of like keeping one’s hands where everyone can see them. Though granted the absence of likely threats would also have an influence.

  If all mushrooms are edible but some are only edible once, m the latency makes the death cap one of the few mushrooms that’s edible a few times.

  No, as apex predators, they accumulate toxins. It’s better to compost them.

  The mask is off, and once you acknowledge that your ideology is about dominance and nothing else, “crimes against humanity” are just what the untermenschen call winning.

  Having had breakfast at an American diner and not needing to eat for the rest of the day, I can almost believe that. Food portions there are huge.

  Could you not also control the height of the pattern by having more stitches under the raised parts?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sleep well⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Could an embroidery machine be programmed to set the stitches’ directions as in the picture?

  I have a bottle of Gin Mare bought in Spain with such a stamp on the cap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sleep well⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t look impossible to make, so it probably could exist, given enough of the time of a sufficiently skilled embroiderer.

  What exactly are Blavatnik’s politics here? He allegedly had some involvement with the Brexit campaign, and is said to be connected to the international oligarchical right’s antidemocratic push, though apparently supports liberals in Israel?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Angus Taylor rolls Sussan Ley to become Liberal leader⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t be so oversure. Everyone seems to be concluding that this will result in the Tories becoming even more unelectable and in permanent ALP one-party rule until the Greens become the opposition or the sun goes nova, though seem to have forgotten that the equally dislikable gronk Dutton was cruising to victory until the realities of the second Trump administration derailed the electoral ambitions of the Trump-adjacent right (as they did in Canada).

  If Labor rests on the comfort of having no challengers and becomes shit and the public get sick of them, they will eventually vote for someone else whom the billionaire-owned media push, whether is whatever megachurch headbangers are jumping up and down under the Liberal Party banner, Hanson, Palmer, some actual neo-Nazis who have unconvincingly repudiated the whole master-race thing and strategically only wear long-sleeved shirts, or someone else. And then we’ll be back to where we were in the long Howard era, where it’s as common knowledge that The Strayans Are A Conservative Mob as it was before the election that Yeah Nah We’re Not Buying It.

  Under the IHRA definition of antisemitism, this would be classified as Nazi-punching, and thus based antifascist praxis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨halal paintball⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There was also the result of drawing a sharp line between the in-group and everyone else. If we have strict dietary laws but the people on the other side of the hill don’t share them, then it follows that they’re unspeakable barbarians, and that we should not trade or cooperate with them, let alone intermarry, and indeed, it’s acceptable to kill them and take their stuff, as surely such a barbarous people would do the same to us.
