  • Well, I agree it is broad, yeah.

    But, like… we’ll see if there’s gonna be any republicans trying to distance themselves from Trump. There were lots who endorsed Harris and who refused to endorse Trump, but not endorsing Trump just isn’t enough with this level of threat to democracy, imo.

  • I’m genuinely sorry this had to be about your joke, but it’s not about you, personally. It’s just about everyone doing what you’re doing. So you + a whole bunch of other people.

    But stop fucking making light of everything.

    Why.

    Why why why.

    Why can’t people take shit seriously for just like 30 minutes till we fix this shit and then we can have jokes again?

    This is the only planet in the universe known to support life. I’m sorry I’m not “fun at parties” but we have to fix this shit.





  • I would willingly trade all of my health for an effective way to engage these willfully ignorant dipshits.

    This is the core problem humanity faces.

    It’s what allowed a child raping demented toddler to become the commander-in-chief of the most powerful military the universe has ever known. For the second time.

    “The higher, pretentious form of stupidity stands only too often in crass opposition to [its] honorable form. It is not so much lack of intelligence as failure of intelligence, for the reason that it presumes to accomplishments to which it has no right … The stupidity this addresses is no mental illness, yet it is most lethal; a dangerous disease of the mind that endangers life itself. … [S]ince the ‘higher stupidity’ consists not in an inability to understand but in a refusal to understand, any healing or reversal of it will not occur through rational argumentation, through a greater accumulation of data and knowledge, or through experiencing new and different feelings … We may say that the reversal of a spiritual sickness must entail a spiritual cure.”






  • Not certain about fish, but I think that’s a similar case?

    Did you know humans are more closely related to catfish than catfish are to dogfish?

    QI | No such thing as a fish

    ¦“yeah, it makes sense why that shape would be favored in water,”

    Yeah, I can see that. But also it’s swimming in water. Then again if tou want to crawl around the bottom? Hexapod is probably the way to go. But then you also need to be able ro manipulate shit, so frontlimbs become bigger.

    Like a lot of space vehicles meant for surface exploring, both imagined and real, are usually six-wheeled, probably for added stability in a rocky terrain where there’s a bit less gravity and sometimes storms and whanot. And what is it like on the ocean floor? Rocky, basically “less gravity” and odd flows like storms.

    Idk there’s a bit more to it I guess, I’m just looking for what that bit is, or if there indeed is one.


  • I genuinely fail to see why it’s a thing. Like reading up it, it’s basically just convergent evolution of crustaceans to a crab-like shape.

    Couldn’t the same be said for a ton of fish-like animals? The many attempts of nature to develop a fish? Hell, even some mammals went back to the fish, plan, although with the tail-fin the wrong way and having to visit the surface to breathe.

    Or large-ish mammals all having pretty much a similar bodyplan, four limbs, head and neck.

    Like surely there’s something so specific in carcinisation that I just haven’t picked up on yet. If someone know what it is pls inform me.
