Sorry for working blue, btw. Ok. Bye

Every time I come online I want to talk about my book and so on, but it's not happening. What's the point?

I quit.

I'm so tired. On top of my ongoing major depressive disorder, I have now had chronic pain for a year. Exactly a year. It's taken too fucking long to get in and every day feels like forever.

The world's gone to hell and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of being here.

Reminder that really good experiences can still lead to "con drop" when the dopamine and endorphins wind down. In addition to set and setting, you'll ideally need gentle, enjoyable inputs for the next few days after, as well. Not like, Only, but definitely to a higher degree. Aftercare is important.

Winston Churchill quite literally asked the Americans to overthrow the very popular socialist Iranian government in 1953 because Churchill wanted the UK to keep extracting Iran’s oil wealth without paying for it.

Please do be a bit more historically aware.

I hate science fiction. I hate science fiction even more when it pretends to be science.

business as usual mineral based construction, lime brick, reinforced concrete, fired brick, mineral wool with large raw material input, total material removal from nature and high primary energy input -> fossil fuel emission output.

If you want to combat species extinction, then make a change in construction, in the way we build.
The loss of biodiversity IS linked to the extraction of raw materials from nature.
Hanging up bird boxes, efficiency and using renewable energy is great, but it doesn't solve this problem. #RMI #TMR

Important thing for the Greens is, I suppose, the primary vote rose, but a blow to the minor party regardless.

Obviously McNamara had to do what was best for her; I'm in no position to judge anyone for quitting because of health problems. But the party could have been better prepared.

How Pixar’s Open Sexism Ruined My Dream Job (Guest Column) A former Pixar employee writes that after John Lasseter's departure, the company still has a lot of work to do to fix its sexist culture.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

I'd love to grab one of the rabbis on the site, but it's like midnight in Israel and Shabbos evening on the east coast of the states. Now I'm fascinated by the question.

I think the actual answer is twofold.

1. All human beings today currently exist in a low-level state of constant impurity to be mitigated.
2. An action you have no control over (a plane flying overhead) and no knowledge of (a corpse flying in it) cannot impart impurity beyond that assumed.

There has not, to my ability to research, been a determination that a plane flying overhead would impart impurity like flying over a cemetery. Although it might logically follow, I'm not seeing anyone saying so.

Okay, quick double check. It looks like the general consensus on this passage is things only directly beneath a corpse are rendered impure, and then that impurity radiates out through physical contact. The plane would be impure.

Had a kohan friend. Can confirm he, at least, didn't go into those sections of the museum. I'm sure there are some kohanim who don't go into any museum with human remains on display; I know someone who wouldn't walk on Riverside Park by Grant's tomb.

The most likely species to 'replace' us are conspecifics like raccoons or rats. We've already moved rats and racoons around the world. I favour racoons because 20 years is longer than a rat's. Without human intervention, raccoons would be everywhere in Europe. They would own the Eurasian landmass.

That's how evolution works.

Worse, it assumes we operate in a vacuum and after we die out all the changes we made will vanish, too.

Why do articles asking what species would replace man, like this one written about a book by an actual zoologist, seem to ignore basic biology? Octopus die immediately after breeding. They are 'designed' to do so. In the millions of years after we die out, assuming they survive, they will keep this.

If humans disappeared, which species would take over the Earth? - Futura-Sciences It sounds like the premise of a science fiction film. Professor Tim Coulson, a zoologist at the University of Oxford, treats it as a serious evolutionary question and his answer, laid out in his 2024 ...

I do, of course, loathe science fiction. Unquestioningly and without exception.
This is an example of why. Worse, it pretends to be real science

This is just one of the many ways in which Ka-Zar is like Jesus.

Oh. Oh no.

An homage to a panel from the Achewood web comic. Phillipe, a young and eager otter, who is wearing a shirt and tie and a helmet for some reason, is happily singing a song to himself as follows: Born... in the USA! I went to school and I got an... A! I ate a hamburger and said hooray! Maybe it will happen today! The final line is obviously my addition. The art was redrawn by me and is not just a copy of the original panel. Done in black lines and halftone shading on a toned paper background. You do not need to trouble Chris Onstad about this.

A millipede in a person’s hand. It is a little over an inch long and dark brown.

So many legs!!
Moved this guy off the trail at the Park. Moved to a moist loose soil area. #invrrtes Milipede is as close as I can ID.

Turkey is going to stare at this and then laugh like this dude. This exact laugh.

But usually the principle in ancient law of this sort was things go up. It's why mountains were considered holy. The dead are dedicated to god, and being near them is an impurity like certain parts of the temple. You getting between them and god is the problem on a vertical scale. Pretty sure.

I looked quickly into it and this does not appear to be a question that anyone's ever asked a rabbi (although I may not be asking the right questions) and I may have to reach out to my cousin or dad.

All corpses are impure.

my god... they're going after spongebob
