I don’t think this means “Etiquette (please and thank you)”, I think this means “Etiquette (look at this rube using his crab fork to grab pasta, what a yokel)”

…we also have brains capable of abstract reasoning, but nevermind that!

Not entirely convinced this is true of the people who claim 2 sharp teeth means we gotta do factory farming

I do know a few young people are tech/programming wizards but “generally tech savy” people seem to be declining. It’s either you’re really into it or barely know anything outside popular apps.

I feel like we also got a new kind of guy, the tech-forward digital illiterate. They run most of everything.

I’m here to report that divine punishment did get served, albeit god has a cruel sense of humor, so that specific whales jaw got sheared off by a speeding ferry, causing it to drown after hours of vocal, agonizing pain

Yes, the point is to see something like your birthyear or maybe that good summer in your 20s being described as too old to be relevant anymore stings

but at least it’s not a terrible idea in theory.

Anything done under the auspice of combating anti-social-behaviours the way the dismal isles understand is unequivocally bad

Not with a 97% success rate but I don’t know trigonometry and can do that in war thunder. you just vibe into it

If this connection intrigues you I

a) implore you to read SCP-6959

b) join my new religion based on the idea that we are formed as crylaugh-emoji and we shall become crylaugh-emoji

ecocide statistic is misleading, because they didn’t count roggebrood house which houses all moths in their greater area

maybe they’re just the cuddly-type except for the distancing-fucking

EDIT: I just realized this is Zizeks perfect romance as described by him

I feel like with all this placebo stuff you get like 10% increase in perceived well-being vs. a good 10% of the population just going full woo woo about this stuff

when you meet a steel is real bicycle guy

Cool idea in theory, will be immediatly overrun with people trying to discuss phrenology in reality

I’d respect that a lot more on the basis of you have to have argued yourself into that one in some way that isn’t being subservient to your elementary school teachers authority at 45

The fact that 25% of women did do it and 25% of men didn’t is fascinating to me. What are your favorite explanations here?

I’m going with 25% of people of either gender are just sort of contrarians to their own gender and thus did what they think the opposite one would do. I feel like I would do that.

there’s a joke here about me rejecting the notion of what prescriptivist and descriptivist mean

but yes, thanks, got some wires crossed there

You know what my biggest problem with descriptivists precriptivists is? What is “correct” always coincides exactly to what they learned in school or university from 15 - 20. It’s never anything else. Never in like 20.000 years of human history did we nail language except for that timeframe, and never will it happen again. what a coinkidink.

Honestly I’m swallowing this wholesale if it happened until like the early 90s or something. Maybe even later. To think of roman hairdressing styles as entirely an archeological question and never one where you might ask a hairdresser seems pretty par for the course for academia

I’m this with urban planning and let me tell you folks, that one’s not endearing to other people
