Okay for anyone who is fried at the moment like I am, map-wiki IS NOT ABOUT GEOGRAPHY.

Not using Nazi terminology is free

I can co-sign this if we can agree that some types of ‘disagreements’ don’t belong on the fediverse, a la the Nazi bar problem.

That’s a Pokemon for sure.

There are also plenty of reasons “healthy” foods might absolutely fuck with your health, even if you’re not eating a ridiculous amount of them. For example whole wheat is a perfectly fine food to have in your diet, unless you have celiac disease and don’t realize it yet.

They’re going to announce they found that a huge percentage of trans people regret transitioning, either by outright falsifying data or by defining “regret” as “has any negative experience in any capacity related to transition.”

I don’t hold a great amount of hope for the likelihood of the average cis person to do anything other than nod to themselves and go “I knew it”, but I would love to be surprised.

Wait you’re telling me it’s Kickero? 🤯

It was a test kick! I’m very well hydrated!

They fucking deflated him 😭

Nobody ever likes this answer, but it’s the truth.

Becoming a local meme on local internet had to be so much worse than it is today. No gen alpha child will understand the pain of getting dunked on by all 10 of the people that had a computer near you

And now you’ve moved your goalposts; first it was ‘convince me philosophy deserves government funding,’ now it’s ’philosophy isn’t a hard science and can’t show me on a graph why abortion is wrong’.

If you just don’t like the humanities receiving government funds, just say so instead of doing this song and dance about how it’s really about science and equality.

You’re pretty sure based on what? Even self-proclaimed pro-life philosophers admit their position is rare. Ethics itself easily argues in favor of abortion but not against it, which is one reason it’s available in virtually every secular state.

You are starting from your conclusion (philosophy isn’t worth funding) and working backwards to make that fit any new evidence presented to you.

Applied ethics is not ‘what feels like it would be the most correct thing to do?’, it’s writing professional codes of conduct, establishing criteria for who should be allowed to get an organ transplant, who should be considered for parole, what scientific experiments should be allowed to happen, if I listed everything affected by the study of ethics I’d be here all day.

I don’t want a random schmuck who’s never thought about any of this for more than 5 minutes writing any of that, and I sure as shit don’t want people voting on it. That’s how you end up with abortion bans.

Do you want anyone other than priests advising government officials on ethics? Then you want philosophy majors.

Same for Bic

Oh, we’re not resistant, we’re just crazy enough to like the pain. Birds are resistant and don’t feel it at all, they can eat chilis like fruits.

If your passport has the gender designation X, or if you have changed your gender, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises contacting the American embassy before traveling for guidance on how to proceed.

Meanwhile in Finland, the advisory notes that if the gender on an applicant’s passport differs from the gender confirmed at birth, U.S. authorities may deny entry. It’s recommended to check the entry requirements with U.S. authorities in advance.

Fun fact: it’s actually a Mexican brand, that’s just the American branch logo. According to Wikipedia:

The name was formed as the combination of the Disney Bambi and Dumbo films names, which were the favourite movies of Marinela, Lorenzo Servitje’s daughter.

I came so close to not putting a rush order on my renewal after the election, but I’m really glad I did. I feel for the people who have to wait and hope shit will get better in 4 years.
