Exactly, perfect take! Bodyshaming and ableism are also one more line along which the ruling class devides people to keep them from doing anything about the systemic issues you mentioned. Solidarity wins.

Dosn’t matter, they have to do what the people who own the newspaper tell them to do. And those are rich.

That’s how the virus got out! There’s a whole wall missing! /s

jk it’s wonderful

It’s not a hive, those mining bees (andrena regularis) are solitary and all the females can lay eggs. It’s just a big population of them.

An investigation into acts of self-pleasure among parrots and other birds has reached a climax, with the results providing welcome relief for vets and researchers, not to mention the birds themselves.

They think they know better than the CIA. The head of the CIA could publicly murder a room full of innocent people, then turn to the cameras of countless news outlets and say:“Yes, I killed all those innocent people to protect a Nazi war criminal from justice.” And libs would still say it’s fake news.

I read that deliberately alternating listening to one new song between two to four already known songs is supposed to be a good exercise for the brain. (Don’t remember where I read that, maybe I should exercise my brain more.)

Because cigarettes are addictive? People start in a weak moment and fail to stop. It’s not a rational decision.

For all the racist westerners it’s different now because torture is only real to them, when it happens to white people. It goes against the established colonial order.

So would you say, that actively hostile imperialist western nations and their propaganda apparatus know more about democracy in Venezuela than Venezuelans?

For example if you asked Americans (particularly those in the south or rural areas) if they thought their country was more “free” than the rest of the world, you would probably get higher numbers than you would from most other regions of the world

Maybe this data will surprise you then:

“Oh, this’ll be the last time with you on a baseball field.”

“Oh, don’t worry, there’s still plenty of thyme and I’ll have any thistle be dealt with first thing tomorrow.”

“You’ll have what?”

“I’ll tell our groundskeeper. He knows how to deal with them. You should hire him for your garden, you can see what marvelous work he’s done here.”

“This’ll be the day. I can see it everywhere.”

“Only until tomorrow.”

“Okay, nevermind, we’ll get back to it. For now, what’s that growing around second base?”

“That’s a big dill.”

“Well yes, obviously, it’s almost obstructing the field. But what herb could be such big a deal that you let it grow on a baseball field?”

“It sure is.”

“Never mind, we don’t have time for this. Can you get me back the time I lost on this bullshit?”

“Oh, you want thyme? Then let’s go to third base.”

“I just said, we don’t have time for this!”

“Well that’s why we should go to third base. We have plenty of thyme, you’ll see!”

“No we don’t, I just told you! We should head back to first base.”

“Back to witch grass?”

“I don’t care about grass, I just want to go back to first base.”

“Yes. Witch grass grows around first base.”

“I don’t care about which grass grows there, I’ll tell you what, you decide to which base we’ll go next, as long as we keep the time in mind and pass by the big deal on second base. So if we do that, we’ll get to which?”

“That’s the first time you got it right!”

Those brown/red gases are different Nitrogen oxides and very unhealthy to breath in. I had to do this once and the fume hood was barely keeping up. It filled quick with the stuff. Later, we had to get the copper back and were deducted points for each fraction of a gram lost.

Once I discovered a large hole with black edges on the back of my lab coat. Someone must have spilled sulfuric acid on it without noticing. So it makes sense to wear them in a crowded lab, even if you think you yourself don’t need to.

Emma Goldman

Yes, it’s remarkable how western centric Pascal must have been. Every monotheist is a non-believer for 99.99% of all existing and practically 100% of all possible religions. I’d even say every Christian is a non-believer with respect to the infinite possible conflicting interpretations of Christianity or even with respect to the interpretations of just their own special sects version of it.

Where very different religions can find genuine common ground is in mysticism. But then again, there are non-dualist, atheist world views, that also allow for something like mystic experiences.

It looks like it’s also balancing a stolen white glasses case on its tail.

“You make my heart beat faster, oh wait, I don’t have a heart! Yo-ho-ho-ho! Skeleton joke.”

Maybe not from the outside, but you’d still know if you’re conscious, right?

Yes! Thank you, I love it! <3

Thank you, this is good to know!
