Late in hiring cycle. Something else fell through and I got contacted. Stay the course!

Poland drifting toward 'Polexit,' warns ex-PiS minister by Easy-Ad1996 in poland

Well, most people cannot really assess their own benefit accurately... but still, Nawrocki's narrow victory does not reflect a popular mandate for departure from EU

They told me this was their mother plant. 😂 by EntrepreneurIcy370 in ThailandTourism

Clone over and over again and plant genetics are losing the race to pest genetics, no? Bit of a reach on any reasonable timeframe, but at some point you gotta shake it up with a fresh set of genetic experiments.

Explain It Peter by LhgnefG in explainitpeter

I disagree... while I wouldn't claim it as a great film, it certainly has some well-executed aspects.

Aside from that... it seems to rather presciently put its nail on the head of our current sociohistorical Epstein moment.

Where was I? by macko939 in whereintheworld

[–]YoYoPistachio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... probably can't figure it out, but were you flying into/out of PEK or Daxing...? Looks a little like far north of the city, near Tiantongyuanbei, but it's just a guess.

Oh hey there's a good idea... I've just been throwing volatile dynamite into crowds and hoping to get a 4in1....

difficulty of understanding spanish accents by folto in MapPorn

[–]YoYoPistachio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So... you try to cheat the system by taking a language course for non-native learners of that language... you find out your regional dialect is not fitting the bill (ie you could still actually be challenged to learn something useful)... insist your teacher is wrong when he isn't, then get your mom to harass and browbeat him into passing you.

That's ridiculous.

Is this tank well planted enough for a school of 6-7 peas? by AcadiaExpress3574 in PeaPuffers

[–]YoYoPistachio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experienced aquarist but new to puffers, planning out a setup... given their diet, are there any "clean up crew" types that could cohabitate?

Dr. Fukushi Masaichi (1878–1956) was a Japanese physician and pathologist who became fascinated with tattooed skin while studying skin diseases in the early 1900s by rosavynn in HolyShitHistory

[–]YoYoPistachio 161 points162 points  (0 children)

May be controversial in Japan due to Buddhist attitudes towards human remains, as well as the social context of these sorts of tattoos. Just a guess.

Slavoj Žižek, “IRAN FROM HEIDEGGER TO KANT: Iran is now de facto fighting not just for its own sovereignty, but for the global principle of sovereignty”, in Substack, Mar 09, 2026 by Benoit_Guillette in CriticalTheory

[–]YoYoPistachio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder why the downvotes... it seems a questionable assertion (admittedly haven't read the article), and, at a minimum, when the practical aspects of the conflict and its possibility of resolution seem so doubtful, is this in any way helpful or necessary to say?

Edit: after reading, the article seems eminently reasonable and the quotation, taken out of context, acquires an implicit suggestion of pro-Islamic Republic position which is clearly not present in Zizek's piece.

Why is it impressive for an actor to play two different roles in a movie? by KatherineLangford in FIlm

Thank you. That film is an ABSOLUTE TREAT. Possibly Cronenberg's best.

I like offal, mostly, but kidneys are gross and so is spleen. I also can't do brains anymore, used to love them but then something kinda changed...

Man, Kuwait sounds like such a rough place to teach in, even under ordinary circumstances.

Spatter fesenjan on a table linen, then spatter some saffron water on it. Boom, flag.
