And they’re all out of ideas!

This you?

Seriously. As a biologist, my education was general enough that I learned how little I know about everything, instead giving me an inferiority complex.

Don’t forget that executive compensation is often significantly comprised of stock or stock options. By feeding the shareholders, they’re feeding themselves.

If you don’t know, I don’t know if I’d suggest looking it up.

It’s not. I’m guessing they did a Google search, looked at a few misleading article titles, and then decided they were a scientist.

On average, the hole has been shrinking, but 2023’s hole was the 12th biggest on record. The eruption of Hunga-Tonga was thought to be the main factor.

The mass die-off reference likely refers to penguin chicks dying because climate change is causing sea ice to melt earlier than before. The poor little guys are falling into the ocean and drowning. It’s not ozone layer related, though

Right now, many are! Fight back and retake our rightful place as people with rights above those of corporations.

I am grateful this isn’t the way mammals ended up feeding their offspring.

Same as long as this isn’t the only thing they do. I work with a guy that loves to talk about his passions and it’s awesome for like thirty minutes. Then it’s alright for another 15-20. After that it starts to drag and I begin to feel the weight of my mounting unfinished tasks.

Agreed. I’ll never understand why people who don’t actually want children have children.

Testicular torsion. As a teenager, I woke up early in the morning with the worst back and stomach pain I had ever felt in my life. I remember thinking I might be sick, vomiting, then passing out from the pain. My parents found me later that morning because I was delirious and moaning. They took me to the hospital and it was fixed.

Just kidding! My parents are shit bags so they told me I just had the flu and I was being dramatic. After my testicle swelled up to over double the size later that day, they called our family doctor who said I probably had a hydrocele and he’d look at it when he got back from vacation. For the record, mine was textbook testicular torsion, my doctor was as idiotically negligent as my parents.

The pain again became excruciating that evening and I was exhausted from lack of sleep, so I started yelling and demanding my parents take me to the hospital, which they did the next morning. There was TV to be watched, they couldn’t bother with taking care of their children. The ER determined my testicle was quite dead. Surgery was scheduled for that evening and I’ve had one testicle since. Get fucked, mom and dad.

Yet Smashmouth never ate the eggs…

You and me both. Last year, I bought enough Feather brand razor blades to last me the next couple of decades. I recall it cost less than $100.

There is absolutely ambiguity, it just doesn’t suit your worldview (or similar) so you lie. It’s your right to lie, but just know that anyone who isn’t dogmatic knows you’re lying.

Here’s an article that slightly better explains the situation.

She wrote…

“I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is enticing spread of violence, I specifically said freedom fighters because that’s what the Palestinian citizens are… fighting for freedom every day.”

You can assume that’s what she meant, but you don’t actually know that - you’re just putting words into someone’s mouth. She even clarified later that’s exactly what she DIDN’T mean. This is also a time when Israel is bombing largely defenseless citizens. If you’re going to make assumptions about the intent of a statement, it’s also valid to assume she’s referring to this.

Not every Palestinian is a member or supporter of Hamas, and not every person who fights for the freedom of the Palestinians is a member or supporter of Hamas.

OMFG, I want to be a fromage fighter so bad.

Pro-Palestine. One of her posts was ambiguous - "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal.”

The media propaganda machine was more than happy to pretend that was directed to Hamas, and then went on to fabricate that it was in reference to civilian executions, but it’s all 100% bullshit.

Since she was joking about civilians executions…

Except she wasn’t. That’s the line the media is pushing but, if you actually read what she wrote -

“Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal.”

there’s no reference, direct or inferred, to Hamas or civilian executions. The propaganda machine is working overtime.
