Just like friends.

While we’re at it, let’s make an honorable mention of the naughtiest of all Amorphophallus species, A. fornicatus.

Thank you.
- Comment on Awkward interaction with my doctor 2 weeks ago:
I kind of agree, but I’d add that a happy marriage doesn’t mean you can’t feel sexual attraction to other people or that it’s wrong to be sexual, you just shouldn’t be creepy about it.

So is there some research showing it’s caused by damage? That should be easy to confirm, right?

Oh, shit, I just made that comment to your other comment.

They’re not what they seem!
- Comment on Is it possible that none of this is real? 2 weeks ago:
It is possible. But if so, I’m not so sure about the NPCs. Surely you’re not the only playable character, right? That would sound like a literal main character syndrome to me ;)

I’d argue we also didn’t suffer without cranberries - we always had the similarly delicious Vaccinium vitis-idaea.
- Comment on Acciracy 2 weeks ago:
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.

I’ve been tested - don’t have it, and I love cats. Part of the cat magic is they’re not really cunts and many people can see it. Also, the parasite doesn’t need you to love cats, it just needs you to not run away from them and to go get eaten by them. If you have a paper showing the correlation, I’d be really interested though - I have a soft spot for this topic, because I got close to a research group focused on it at the uni.
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks ago:
Anyway, eating a raw bell pepper is a wonderful way to get lots of vitamin C. Adishes are awsime anyway.
- Comment on ‘Manfluencers’ are filming themselves trying to pick up women using smart glasses 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on Veganuary 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Should longer hair be handled by salons or male barbers? 5 weeks ago:
Trimming it won’t get it to grow. The more you cut it the longer the growing-out phase.
- Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail? 5 weeks ago:
So could a real flail work against a shield that way too?
- Comment on I liek tudles 5 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Room temperature IQ is a far bigger insult in Europe than America. 2 months ago:
I don’t think people using the phrase as an insult need to believe in IQ.
