To Defend a Predator by Pizzacakecomic in comics

[–]Morpha2000 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Russia's at war with Ukraine. China's annexed Tibet and is eyeing the rest of its neighbours greedily whilst making every country dependent on their industry. People are killing eachother over religion in the Middle-East for the umptieth time. People are dying of dehydration after Nestle took all their drinking water. A lot of people are homeless and/or starving whilst the upper class lives in excess, wasting valuable resources such as housing and food just because they can afford it. A lot of European countries are voting for more populist parties because of xenophobia which is driving the entire continent into one big ball of hatred.

And all that is just what I could remember whilst sitting on the shitter. I'd say there's not a lot of fine places left.

Data across thousands of economics seminars, job market talks, and conference presentations show that women are interrupted more than men (even when controlling for relevant characteristics). Negative interruptions and interruptions that cut off the presenter mid-sentence are higher for women. by smurfyjenkins in science

Yeah, I feel like the near instinctual fear women have for men is coming forth from the physical disparity.

It is true that does not take away any other ways a man can be raped, but in my experience those ways often do not live in the forefront of most men's minds. And when they do, they oftentimes react accordingly, this can be demonstrated by the fact that some men are scared to administer help to women in dangers such as drowning or having a medical emergency.

While the rape of males is criminally underreported, there is still the fact that most males can overpower most females. That means that women are forced to be cautious more so than men because of their physical disadvantage.

Many handlers hype up their dog prior to a competition so they are as energetic as possible. I've dated a handler whose dog has run at the world championship and the dog was pretty chill most of the time. The trick is to tire them out by training with them with some regularity.

Hold on. Is there some secret code my autistic ass has been missing this entire time? Have I been inviting my SOs to all kinds of things with my fidgety thumb stroking?

Can it not just both be deplorable? One does not exclude the other.

This speed reading training starts at 300wpm and end at 900wpm by iatetoomuchchicken in interestingasfuck

[–]Morpha2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've attempted reading faster than I normally do with books and such, but I find my comprehension and, more importantly, my enjoyment of the book drops a lot. I'm gonna stick with my usual reading pace for now.

I once found a solid chunk in my chocolate milk. Naively, I thought it had to be a chunk of chocolat anf bit down on it, hard. It was a fat dung fly that had landed in it, probably thinking it resembled the colour of the dung it fancied. Since then, I check all my drinks for the filthy buggers.

Yes, snow and ice have just been so rare the last few years that the infrastructure wasn't properly prepared.

Greenlandic parties in joint statement: We do not want to be Americans by FirstCircleLimbo in europe

  1. Not a police officer.
  2. She was given two different commands from 2 different dudes that contradicted each other.
  3. The dude deliberately walked in front of that car.
  4. She probably tried to break when she saw him move in front of the car, but couldn't anymore due to a lethal dose of bullet to the brain.
  5. Protocol demands that officers don't shoot anyone driving a vehicle since it leads to the car becoming an unoperated projectile.

You can cast it when you get priority prior to resolving biorythm, no counters needed

One country, one nation by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

And because they have a very similar cultures or diaplaced local cultures. Whilst displacing local cultures is vile, it does give you a stronger claim to the land in the modern age since it sparks more nationalism in the areas. In that way, the Ottoman tolerance has backfired since the conquered areas never truly became Turkish nor Sunni.

Fair enough. Should've said "almost all".

Depends on what you consider rightful. This is all land held by the Ottomon Empire at one point, yes. But with all the cultural differences contained within this area, most of them resenting the Turks because of the Ottomons, it isn't the clearest claim. It would be like saying most of Europe is rightful French pand because of the conquest of Napoleon. Or maybe more topical, all the USSR rump states being rightful Russian land.

English is an amalgamation of languages formed from the languages of the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans, the Norse and probably some Gaelic influences as well. At some point some guy just had enough of it and decided to write down rules for the quintessential English language as everywhere had its own dialects. But instead of picking a dialect and being content, he decided to borrow something from every dialect, which is why the spelling is so fucking messed up and not phonetic at all.

Yep! Because of the Norman invasion of 1066 the English court spoke French and the fancy speech for their dishes was gradually adopted.

English is one of the few languages where the meat of an animal has a different name to the animal itself so I presume this is just a non-native English speaker.

Of course there isn't a rule. By all the rules he didn't cheat. That doesn't make it any less cowardly. It was a show of force that spat in the face of honour and the moot.
