I'm in the middle of book 7 and holy what a shift. I'm in the part where it's so overwhelming, you can't even begin to imagine how this will get resolved. Very excited to read the last two books.

Ah yes, that notorious occupation where Denmark systematically raped and murdered all those Norwegians, installed a corporate kleptocracy to ransack their natural resources for the profit of people half a globe away, and then spent the next 400 years funding coups and dictators to maintain that corporate control.

I don't understand the level of ignorance required to even begin to pretend like these were equivalent situations.

In the United States, sovereign immunity only immunizes the government against lawsuits. It doesn't provide an individual with immunity against criminal prosecution.

There was a running joke over on that other site that there is really only one Nebelung cat, and it's actually a transdimensional creature that can appear in many times and places at once. And that's why all Nebelungs look exactly alike lol

Sodium response is a lot more complicated than that, and a more accurate metric is probably dietary sodium:potassium ratio.

My actual Anatomy textbook is full of these weirdly sensual illustrations that are just.. unnecessary.

Which is a problem that pre-employment drug testing does not correct in any way, shape or form.

Not gonna lie, being a nurse during a pandemic with that jackass as president broke something in me

Rewatching the Extended cuts is also a Christmas tradition of mine

Exactly what I was just about to say. This episode was a big deal when it happened because I had been watching Reading Rainbow for years and loved to see LeVar on TNG. That's a never forget crossover episode right there

Yeah, the problem is it slips too easily into essentialism. "Oh we evolved this way, nothing we can do about it I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

Especially for questions like this, which could pretty easily be explained by cultural influences, no need to bring evolution into it.

Yeah, working on yourself makes you resilient, but it definitely doesn't make you unstoppable. Like Picard said, "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose."
