I so want to befriend my local crows, been meaning to buy some seeds for bribing them

I’ve never actually read any Harari books for some reason. Is his stuff generally “reliable”?
that’s like the Time Cube of diagrams, holy fuck
Well, they could do better.
They literally couldn’t
Yeah I doubt the historical Jesus (or Jesuses – apparently there may have been more than one) was nearly as nice as the Bible makes him out to be.
Considering how terrible the writing is on Starfield, I’m not sure Bethesda has it in them anymore. The quests are often incredibly boring, and the worldbuilding itself is a bit meh. Same with the books you find; they cheaped out and used public domain materials for the most part, and the books that do have in house content are… not great. What I liked about Oblivion and Skyrim was that the books you could find really helped to “fill out” the world, but in Starfield they’re just either uninteresting or plain bad – like those fucking cringy joke books
Most pleasant gamer
It’s the same with that one rabbi who’s been labeled antisemitic because he’s against the genocide of Palestinians.
Edit: this dude:
Eg. the Canary Mission has labeled him as an antisemite who trivializes the Holocaust because he thinks that in Canada the genocide of First Nations people would be important to teach more about instead of focusing on the Holocaust
Conservatives would literally murder him if he were to come back. A brown-skinned wokist telling people to love each other would not be popular
That was one impressive prank to pull, goddamn. I would have been scared to death of being shot by American cops
Yeah, a H5Nx pandemic will have a good chance of having a fatality rate of something in the range of 10% to 50%. It’d end society as we know it, and conservatives are generally the ones who are doing their damndest to prevent sensible action being taken now to help at least slow the jump to humans.
If (or, more likely when) we do see a HPAI pandemic, we know who we can thank for it. It’ll likely kill hundreds of millions of people, but at least by refusing vaccinations due to idiotic reasons, conservatives will have a higher mortality than people with functioning brains.
Probably a nontrivial amount of wanting to feel smarter than “those know-it-all doctors with their fancy degrees” with a side of Dunning-Kruger
It took me much longer than I’d like to admit to understand what the title meant. “But 1985 is 0 years from 1985???”
I am not a clever person.
Ah yeah the Siberian fox experiment is interesting. They found that the tamer foxes had a tendency towards neoteny, ie. basically retaining juvenile features and slower development, and they even lost some of their intelligence too which was interesting. The same has happened with dogs, physically they’re closer to juvenile wolves and generally they’re also less intelligent than wolves.
Didn’t know someone had tried the same with panthers and cheetahs though, that’s pretty surprising. Sounds like a bit of a project to tame panthers of all creatures when even housecats aren’t as domesticated as eg. dogs
I actually ran into National Anti-Corruption Commission rules that some corruption is cool actually from The Chaser just a while ago
This is definitely an apex friend, just look at those ears:
There’s a conservative chud in these comments who apparently thinks this is exactly what Jesus taught.
Political satire is dead; it’s impossible to satirize conservatives because for any ridiculous joke anyone can come up with, there’ll be N + 1 conservatives out there going “yeah that’s exactly what I believe”
I know it’s satire; what I’m saying is that it’s impossible to satirize conservatives nowadays because what comes out of their mouths is regularly as ridiculous as anything statirical people can come up with
Thanks. So, interesting and generally reliable, but claims should be treated with caution?
