If you ever get the chance, Vietnamese chè is incredible.

Red bean ice cream is delicious. It’s not that odd when you realize that vanilla, chocolate, and coffee are all beans and all common ice cream flavors.
- Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 1 week ago:
Because that only makes sense if both sides are roughly the same size and strength. When one side is outnumbered and outgunned, it is better to hide and ambush.
- Comment on 'No one can find him': Trump drops from public view again after 'slurring' military speech 1 week ago:
Especially since if he dies before the 2 year mark of his term, Vance will only be eligible to serve one term, not two.
- Comment on America could have avoided all of this with a functional justice system 2 weeks ago:
It’s all been downhill since Florida rigged the election for Bush in 2000.
- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 2 weeks ago:
I like how Invincible addresses this. He tries to save people but it always ends disastrously because normal people break really easily when handled by someone with super strength and speed. His best bet is to take out the villain that is the source of danger.

- Comment on Should you look for a relationship if it feels like a compromise? 1 month ago:
There are a whole spectrum of nonmonogamous types of relationships out there. Any relationship will have it’s compromise, but what those compromises are is entirely based on you and your partner or partners.

An RSS feed doesn’t make any money for comic artists.

Annoying but at least there’s a purpose. You can subscribe to comics you like and it will hold your place in the series so you can start up where you left off.

- Comment on Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't. 2 months ago:
A large band around the equator will become unsurvivable. Hundreds of millions of people will flee to cooler climates. Countries will already be straining to provide food and water for their people. This will lead to wars for resources. Nations with nuclear capabilities will fracture and collapse, leaving their weapons in the hands of warlords and despots. Pandemics like COVID will become increasingly more common, not just for humans but for our livestock and crops. I hope you are right, but then again 5 billion might be a conservative estimate.
- Comment on Woman says faecal transplant saved her and could help many more like her 2 months ago:
Most of the body’s serotonin receptors are in the GI tract. We are only beginning to understand how the body regulates these chemicals.
- Comment on Reality vs Fantasy 2 months ago:
The rule I’ve always used is that if the first letter of the word is a vowel, it’s “an” and if it isn’t use “a”.
For example, “an apple” or “a potato”.
- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 2 months ago:
We are just beginning to understand how much the chemical Imbalances that lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders originate in the digestive tract and how microplastics from food may disrupt the processing of these chemicals.

If you can get the boat going before it floods, the boat moving through the water will create enough suction to drain out any water. You just better have a plug waiting for you at your destination.

Starve your kid or lose them. That’s quite a choice for a poor parent to make.
My late father grew up in an orphanage because my grandfather was too poor to care for 5 kids and a sick wife. My grandparents were able to take the kids home on Sundays though, so it wasn’t a situation where they yielded full custody. I’m not saying an orphanage was ideal, but it’s a shame that these days there is not the same kind of middle ground where kids can be cared for but still stay connected to their family. I guess that is too much of a social safety net for conservatives to tolerate.

As much as being out or outed can put you at risk in many places in the world, I don’t think there is an obligation to put yourself at risk by being an activist. That being said, there are ways to provide aid to those in need besides activism.

Look at what humans have done with breeds of dogs. Before we even knew what genetics was, we understood that if you bred two small dogs, the offspring would be small. Then, if you bred those offspring with other small dogs, they would be even smaller still. That’s how we got from a wolf to a Chihuahua. That is how we manipulate the forces of evolution for our benefit.
There are countless little “tells” that species evolve. Human skeletons have a tiny tail. All embryonic mammals look virtually identical. Whales have vestigial pelvis bones. Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics after generations of repeated exposure. Sickle cell anemia is an evolutionary adaptation in human populations frequently exposed to Malaria. Moths have been observed becoming darker in color so their camouflage matches trees darkened by pollution.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 6 months ago:
I think that the thing that made the protests for George Floyd and Covid policies so widespread was people were out of work. The capitalist system has done a very good job of binding us to our jobs. we need a change that will put large amounts of people on the streets with little to lose. An economic collapse might do it.
- Comment on What are some slow acting poisons? 6 months ago:
There was a theory a while back that Napoleon died from arsenic poisoning due to the damp Mediterranean climate causing the decay of a green wallpaper using an arsenic based dye. It didn’t end up being entirely true but he may have been slowly poised by environmental arsenic throughout his life. Here is an article about it.
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the Earth’s crust as metallic crystals or combined with other elements. Being a heavy metal, arsenic bioaccumulates. That is, it builds up in the body over time, so slow poisoning is possible.
