Hi Wilco, the others went traight to sarcasm, which is not a good way to communicate. The point they failed to make was that the continent the USA, Mexico and Canada are located on is officially called “North America”, not just “America”. And people usually don’t even use “America” for the combination of North, South and Central one. The USA is offcially called the USA, so there appears to be nothing called just America officially. I would argue that people do use America in common speach - but then the use differ locally. In my European country we use it to mean the US. If we want to talk about the continent, we can also use it, but we need to specify we’re talking about the continent and which part, otherwise it gets confusing.

Well, yep, that’s kind of what op is talking about. Star Trek used to scratch a certain itch for people like me in a way other media rarely did. There are people like me in younger generations as well. I feel like the approach you’re talking about is not uncommon for other series/films, while the idealistic approach is super rare or non-existing now. Therefore I find it a pity.

Well, I get you. I’m personally the oposite though: I need pure fantasy to give me hope, to set the ideal to strive for.
- Comment on YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They improve heart health and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. They contain almost no calories 1 week ago:
Anyway, eating a raw bell pepper is a wonderful way to get lots of vitamin C. Adishes are awsime anyway.

It’s not meant to be a realistic scenario. It’s satire.
- Comment on ‘Manfluencers’ are filming themselves trying to pick up women using smart glasses 1 week ago:
It’s not really a thought experiment, though. It’s a hyperbole, a funny way to say women are afraid of the toxic masculinity types.

Did you continue reading what was after that quote? That part that says no nutrients except for B12? You quoted it out of context.

Sounds like that could get rid of the benefits like vit C as well.

Trimming it won’t get it to grow. The more you cut it the longer the growing-out phase.

So could a real flail work against a shield that way too?

And it does seem to refer to that in English. Should it, though? Turtles in the narrow sense of sea turtles (Chelonioidea) are an inner branch of the whole Testudines tree, making tortoises unnecessarily paraphyletic (incomplete). It would be more logical to make tortoises the equivalent of Testudines and turtles the equivalent of Chelonioidea. Alas, English taxonomy is not always following the evolutionary logic.

The biomes are what it says - not one species, not a few of them, whole fucking biomes! There are thousands and thousands species, bacterial worlds inside of us, and the species interact in complicated ways. It’s not just the presence or absence of a species that is beneficial, it’s often a question of combination of species that makes a huge difference. As was said, we’re just beginning to understand. But I’d bet any treatment that makes the system simple will have some serious downsides that will appear later, when we know better.

And? How’s that not a good insult?

Which s perfect for an insult. Insult is better when it’s caricature like.

I don’t think people using the phrase as an insult need to believe in IQ.

- Comment on Why do we produce so much porn? 1 month ago:
What do you mean? There are so many species that are kind of all about sex drive. All those insects that don’t even eat in their adult life, just fuck. Humans can’t compare!
- Comment on Why do we produce so much porn? 1 month ago:
Perhaps other civilizations would have a healthier outlook on sex and wouldn’t view it as perverse to produce porn, rather as natural.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 months ago:
Now I really want to drink it and I don’t even have it :) Do you make a plain one or do you add any spices?
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 months ago:
No, you don’t jave to, but you can :) If the honey is very runny and you don’t want to get it on the edge of the jar, it can be beneficial.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 months ago:
I find it excruciating to wait before the right dose of honey gets on my bread or into my tea. You have to let it drip - right? Or was I using it wrong? Therefore I prefer either a spoon or a knife. I also don’t let the jar open so I can’t keep the honey dripper in it and it’s quite wasteful if you should clean it everytime. And there’s no way to use it on cristalized honey, which has otherwise a very good texture for putting on bread. That’s why I gave up on using it. Did I overlook some major adventage? I still have it somewhere and I’m willing to give it another try.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 months ago:
From other comments, I think it’s specifically for getting runny honey into tea. A spoon can do that and a lot more, but doesn’t look so cool and specialized. I use a knife for applying to bread.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 months ago:
That IS a decent set up.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 months ago:
All of this can be said about a spoon too, though.

You’re allowed, but surely you’d be aware enough not to walk in your costume outside the set. The same goes for theatre or anything. An actor who thinks it’s a good idea to walk outside in a nazi costume has it coming, and that’s a good thing.

Better ensure perfect women/men equality before doing that, otherwise it leads to a big gender disbalance and high infanticide rate for girls, as was demonstrated in China.
