Polish sabers… I want to cut him to ribbons

Because why not? It’s in the same view as thought experiments. Things that make you go “huh”. Nobody is being weird about it, they just aren’t being serious about it.

I’m not sure if you’re missing that the whole point is that trying to treat “common” terms like scientific terms creates logical conundrums like this because nature isn’t about clean lines and groups.

The whole point of saying “Whales are fish” and things like that is as a reminder that human classification (even detailed and precision-focused scientific classification) is still just a human construct we use to order the world around us. It’s arbitrary what is and is not a fish.

In fact we see science educators bring this up so much, I think, because it’s important to be able to answer “why don’t the scientists just call them fish?” when discussing ray finned fishes or something like that and this discussion is helpful practice for that.

Pretty sure they’re in red because they’re disputed, but unlike Crimea, they’re “independent republics” after a (sham) vote, that just so happen to want to be annexed by the invading power.

I think it’s just important to note that the De Facto part of it is why they’re in the green bubble. Even tho they’re disputed, they’ve basically been managing their own affairs.

Sames, imagine if they left just one course per municipality (minus where they don’t make sense, like the desert where there’s just way too many anyways). Drive all the carts into a recycling center and force everyone to walk? Great way to keep, especially older people, moving.

I had completely forgotten that reference till I read this reply lol

Feral animals are domesticated animals living in the wild. Javelina aren’t domesticated pigs.

They aren’t feral hogs. Same suborder, but different families.

It looks like a trace over a movie still where they drew them in a new outfit. This character is not AI. Chel from Road to El Dorado.

I’d argue the kids who were bullied relentlessly ended up shopping at hot topic

Alicization is fantastic and I recommend picking it up! SAO showed it can still tell a story

Yea, nah, I didn’t misunderstand. You are not describing the normal reaction. Outside the obvious of “too often” it’s pretty unreasonable to think that someone who shares a living space with you can’t invite people into what is also their home.

If your home MUST be your space as much as you’re saying, you shouldn’t have roommates. The cat metaphor doesn’t work because these are temporary houseguests brought in by a co-equal member of the household who has equal rights to use of the space as you do.

Who is this actually happening to? If I or someone I live with have a friend over for that long, we/they’re probably doing something. If there was anything close to small talk with a roommate coming by, its “Hey! Wanna join us?”, to which “no thanks” is always a fine answer.

Thai sounds like you should be exclusively living on your own.

Just stop grating an entire block of parm over it and you’ll be fine

Y’all needed more Elmer’s glue for the mohawks

It’s Crusader Kings so probably something about marrying your sister.
