Most of it is all tied up together, and they have no ability or desire to look inward to parse those desires out. So they externalize and project everything outward making it our problem.
It’s also why Grindr pops off every time a conservative rally is in a town. They hate the gays+theys, and also want to fuck them. Same same for powerful women.

Yes, very true! I almost added that when writing my comment, but didn’t want to blather on too long in a comment about a meme haha

I mean, the ability to run long distances without tiring is kind of what makes humans an apex predator. We can out-endurance just about every other creature. Most ancient human hunting techniques involved just wounding an animal, and then literally chasing it until it got too tired to keep going.
Wolves are very similar, which is what made us such natural hunting companions. The co-evolution of humans and dogs is an extremely interesting rabbit hole, if anyone is looking for one.
All that to say, the wolf would understand the need to run more than just about any other animal. A bear would work better here. A wolf would just see us running and think ‘game recognizes game’, just like they already did eons ago :3

That made me chuckle, thanks for posting it. Kinda reminds me of a joke-phrase in American English that goes “If a frog had wings it wouldn’t bump its ass when it hopped.”

How do you mean? Dinosaurs? They were warmblooded, so no, not just lizards. Usually in the rock around the fossilized bones are imprints of other features of the animal, like skin texture or the presence of feathers.
We can also tell a lot from the points where muscles attach to the bones.
That’s not even accounting for the behavior we can interpret based on fossilized footprints! We’re actually learning that T-Rex were pretty good parents for instance.
It’s a very complex field, and it’s amazing how much we can learn from so few clues.

Right, and that’s why most people would believe this meme and take it as 100% truthful. The meme doesn’t specify that that’s the way we USED to do it, it says that’s how it would be done
- Comment on Make dinosaurs weirder 1 week ago:
So tired of this meme, especially in a science themed sub. It’s just wrong and thusly promotes disinformation because it takes seconds to read a meme like this and move on without question. Meanwhile it takes (comparitavely) ages to actually research how fossils are reconstructed. If people even think to research it in the first place, because, hey, it’s in a science-based sub, right??
Remember kids, the best memes are those based on truth 😎

(Except that’s not how paleo art works anymore)
I know it’s a meme, but when this is posted without clarification, it spreads to people who think it’s real and they regurgitate it as fact

If you don’t think the same of a vulva, then you’re only outing yourself as having incredibly little imagination/experience with them. CIA couldn’t have gotten that out of me, honestly.

That’s gonna be our approach, too with our kiddo.
It’s a hard one to fight your own overly-conservative programming in order to teach a healthier outlook to your kids. Hard to know if you’re going too far one way or the other. So much of parenting you just don’t know if you’re doing it right until you’re done.
Fist-bump from one internet parent to another, you’re going a great job ✌️

Not just boys. Girls explore and test boundaries with their genitals too.
- Comment on Stuck 2 months ago:
It’s instinctual in that all babies explore their genitals as soon as they can start willfully moving their hands, yes. It’s not just boys having a special connection to their genitalia.

Well, if you really wanna get into it, I blame the Romans. It was their colonialism and influence that made the region of the Franks what it was culturally. Then their collapse created a power vacuum allowing this remnant territory to rise and fill it, wanting to be its own new Rome (like almost every other empire that arose after that). And on and on until today. Colonialism and imperialism is a cancer that has been growing and growing through the ages to get us to where we are today

I wish the first part were actually true, on the bureaucratic level. Sadly it is quite difficult to emigrate to the EU

Haha, I agree with you on the last point, but their passion for their teams (let’s not forget OSU, though many OU fans wish we could) is something else. My SO is a huge OU fan, and though I don’t quite ‘get’ the love for football, it’s cool to learn about all their traditions. The Sooner Schooner being my favorite
- Comment on Appers 2 months ago:
That’s just what I was thinking. Two OU fans can meet each other anywhere in the world and one can say “Texas,” and the other will say “Sucks,” without missing a single beat. The whole thing is a call and response between each half of the stadium: A- “Boomer” B- “Sooner” A- “Texas” B- “Sucks”
Pretty coordinated for a bunch of blind-drunk undergrads. That’s just the first thing that came to mind, I’m sure many other teams have more elaborate chants

Honestly, say something useful or keep it to yourself, OK? These lil ‘gotcha’ comments do nothing but take up space and make you feel a misplaced sense of having done something (when you’ve in fact, done nothing).
Stuff like this comment, the mango Mussolini comments, the evil Cheeto comments, it all just fucking does nothing while still making people feel like they’re being transgressive. You’re not. It diverts energy from doing/talking about stuff that affects real change.
