Nope. Eggs are delicious. Swords at dawn?

Shrimps and lobsters shells are made of chitin. Mushrooms are also made of chitin. Coincidence?

I’d argue they’re less of an abomination than the “salad” that requires jello and cottage cheese

- Comment on I went to an anti-tech rally, where Gen Z dressed as gnomes and smashed iPhones. Here's what I learned. | Business Insider 1 week ago:
I get it. My first introduction to FOSS was getting insulted by people for not knowing about FOSS, and it really put me off of things. It was made abundantly clear to me that only smart people know about Linux, and if I didn’t know about Linux, I was too stupid to run Linux and needed to stick to Windows like the loser I was.
So I stuck to Windows because I’d rather be a loser than an asshole.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 1 week ago:
IIRC, Yahweh evolved out of El, who they considered the best god of the Canaanite pantheon.
The Old Testament starts making more sense when you realize that there were other gods in the pantheon at one point. Like all the whining about Ashera is because she was El’s ex.

Maybe when they throw their poo at you, they’re simply trying to share their superior gut biome
- Comment on Has InZoi been better than the Sims in your opinion? 1 week ago:
I was hyped for it’s release earlier, but now that it’s not out of early access yet and they’re already releasing DLC, I think I’ll give it a pass.

Baby orb weavers are yellow with a black dot on their butt. Not terrifying at all.
- Comment on I would give my life savings for something that eradicates them from my apartment 😌 1 week ago:
This is why I welcome them in. I don’t have screens on my windows, so in the summer, flies get in. The spiders are why I don’t have a fly problem.

Calling Evangalion ‘unhinged’ might be the understatement of the century
- Comment on They say remote working less productive 1 week ago:
When you work at the office you need to dress up, take proper care of yourself, walk around and step by a cafe.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a job that paid well enough for me to do any of that tho

- Comment on What possible evolutionary advantage is offered by my ears suddenly sprouting tons of hair? 2 weeks ago:
Evolution doesn’t quite work like that. Traits aren’t always selected for/against, we have a ton of traits that we’re ambivalent enough about to pass on, like eye color and ear hair. It’s neither advantageous or disadvantageous, people are just horny enough that it doesn’t matter and gets passed on.
- Comment on What possible evolutionary advantage is offered by my ears suddenly sprouting tons of hair? 2 weeks ago:
“Unattractive” is highly culturally specific though. Ear hair is so strongly correlated with testosterone levels, there’s gotta be some people that think it’s virile and attractive.
- Comment on Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored... 2 weeks ago:
My partner is in his 40s and they didn’t have electricity until they moved to the mainland for middle school. There are still large parts of the world that don’t have electricity.

Did we read the same comment?
- Comment on We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things. 3 weeks ago:
No kidding. I was raised by Tea Partiers, and moving left really needs to be made easier. I’m pretty sure the only reason I made it is because I’m privileged enough to be literate, and that’s exactly why the right has been axing public education since before I was born.

They didn’t see that one group losing rights meant that they didn’t have rights either.
This is one of the areas that made me realize I was to the left of liberals. Too many people telling me to calm down, it won’t affect me, I’m a white woman, stop being dramatic. Like, bitch, I was raised in a red state, I know that being white won’t protect me when they come after women. Just like how being white and male won’t protect you when they come for the lower class.
- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 3 weeks ago:
I get it. There’s a nickname only my estranged family uses.

Yeah, I go by my middle name and nobody thinks it’s weird.

How do we know it’s an accurate illustration? They might have jacked up the trolley with monster truck wheels or something.
- Comment on Thoughts about responsibility 3 weeks ago:
My whole point is that we really can’t blame individuals for being irresponsible when we’ve set up an entire society that punishes responsible behavior and rewards recklessness.
- Comment on True staple of the format 3 weeks ago:
Especially these days, when disinformation is freely accessible, and facts are behind paywalls.
I can find a million conflicting articles about what a study says, or I can pay out the nose for access to the actual study, for example.
- Comment on True staple of the format 3 weeks ago:
I lowkey think the website Let Me Google That For You was part of a psyop making people think search algorithms are the superior option for obtaining new information, and therefore leaving people vulnerable to how algorithms have been manipulated to push disinformation.
