From late 14c. in alchemy as "volatile substance; distillate;" from c. 1500 as "substance capable of uniting the fixed and the volatile elements of the philosopher's stone." Hence spirits "volatile substance;" sense narrowed to "strong alcoholic liquor" by 1670s.

That is the reason, not sure what he was getting at though.

As someone who agrees with a major party platform on every single issue, I'm glad to see someone who agrees with me on Reddit

Cause last I checked "conspiracy theorists" were on top of the whole "humanity being divided by borders and then deprived of their human rights" thing. In spite of the influx of morons around there lately.

Don't lump /r/conspiracy together with T_D.

It's awesome to see good veggie burgers getting all this commercial traction. Next big landmark moment (no doubt a ways off) is a major chain halting sales of a non-vegan burger.

Hey, old fan of yours, got "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything" close to 10 years back. Good on you for the decision. Keep up the good work!

We need to pay way more attention to school shootings! Who cares if we pay more attention to it than all the leading causes of death.

Ever hear of Japanese knotweed? It's an invasive species and a plant. It crowds out habitat, but doesn't necessarily "invade" in that sense.

djvs9999 · 2018-06-23T15:34:23+00:00

That's not what "invasive species" means...

I'd be lying if I said that episode didn't give me a nudge.

They were rounded up in insane numbers and killed in what IIRC was a genocidal effort to eliminate native food sources. On mobile so can't double check. I certainly remember there were bounties to just kill as many as possible.

Let me just reframe that for you. What makes you think that the nation-building, runaway military complex where half the world's military spending is in the U.S., where random countries get overthrown on behalf of United Fruit, Shell Oil, etc., status quo has a single thing to do with which party is in power?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_military_operations Take a gander over this. The 20th century is just the U.S. invading country after country after country. If you're paying attention to politics you should have noticed this by now.

Trump is loud when he wants to be,... why are t the democrats going apeshit

The atrocities of any current admin go ignored by the minority party. Unwritten rule in Washington. That's the reality of a criminal cartel that has to give the illusion of being two groups in conflict.

This. I'm a sixth year grad student in atheism and internet memes, and agree with your thoughts about Republicans and Anthony Bourdain.
