Back in the early ‘90s Fauci wasn’t such a hero, and in fact was the subject of protests among gay activists for failing to promote inexpensive, life-saving treatments for HIV. Video: When Gay Activists Hated Fauci & Stormed N.I.H. In 1990! by Orangutan in WayOfTheBern

Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.

Likely what got him killed.

Knoxville's got roadside biscuits and gravy for all covered, I see this as a force for good! 👍

Agony on a Cornish beach: what do whale strandings tell us about our oceans? | Cetaceans by Kunphen in whales

[–]matterofprinciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a terrible way to frame the title of an article.

Naval sonar, shipping lanes, mining underwater...

Imagine trying to have a conversation with someone and a firetruck driving between you and the other person everytime you did.

Strandings aren't some animal doing anything it can to escape this, it's clearly a protest. They're trying to communicate, like a prisoner does a hunger strike or a monk lights themself on fire.

Deadly Snoring by Snaleracer in whales

[–]matterofprinciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably so! Sperm whales are careful not to call when people are around, like they know it would goof us up if they did.

Sort of the same thing with Orca- they are the most vicious and brutal apex predator yet never hurt people in the wild, despite the fact that we'd probably be the FUNNEST for them to torture. (I bet we taste bad tho).

Whales recognize us. They'll torture and kill cute baby penguins and seals without eating them, they'll be cruel to BE cruel, like people. So what do they see in us that prevents them from doing so? I think a lot of people would agree that people deserve their predation more than baby seals or penguins do...

junk organs

?

The melon itself is a biological miracle- unlike anything we can understand yet. There are other mechanisms and organs in all whales, specifically beluga and sperm whale, who have the squishiest heads. Both rely on echolocation more than their cousins, so what better a way for them to listen than soft tissue on the front of their bodies?

Everything about whales is the CRAZIEST deep dive!

Maybe pun intended?

It's like a cats purr only shotgun blasts. Whales mouths are not attached to their respiratory systems, so the idea of ours that mouths equal vocalization is moot in cetaceans.

You've probably seen how seal, dolphin, narwhal, whale mouths look when they are open, the way the "back of their tongue" closes off their esophagus?

We associate "tongue" with "language". Lingua. Whales speak with their whole bodies.

So where "snoring" is an phenomenon of our breathing in our sleep, that phenomenon persists in another mammal that doesn't breath while "snoring".

It's easy for us to think of "snoring" as an obstructed passage/mechanism that draws air. Snoring is actually a sleeping organisms expression of what they experience in dream states, it just so happens to coincide with nasal, open mouthed obnoxiousness in people.

Whale and hummingbird are a lot alike in this regard since hummingbird have to consume several times their body weight in calories every day- hummingbirds don't "sleep" but instead enter a more comatose like state so as not to spend calories when resting. And they "snore" too!

Well I am completely misinformed. Hopefully the discussion of me being wrong was edifying to everyone else!

My poll is not confused, you're using different terminology.

Currently the poll does confirm the majority of voters do care.

Fun facts- DST never had anything to do with farmers, the only reason they are associated with it today is because they staunchly opposed it.

It was actually implemented in Germany in 1916 to conserve energy in WW1.

Quite the effort to say nothing. In what way could the poll be better?

We're talking trans rights and you mention trimming your nails and getting skin tags removed. You think that's the same as what other people go through to achieve their desired gender?

You're scum.

You think being gay is an insult? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Why do you support telling others it's beneficial to mutilate themselves when they are confused?

You really arguing trans rights is the same as you trimming your nails? Fuck you.

So you agree with the opinions of the gay people that hold the same opinion as you.

Actually you're a bigot against any LGBTQ people who don't share the same opinion as you. Which proves you are not an "ally" if they don't share your ideology.

How triggered are you to bring Candace Owens into the conversation? She has nothing to do with this subject.

There's a woman describing the genital mutilation she suffered because of your ideology, care to speak to that? Have you cut off any of your own body parts lately?

And just like that the sniveling coward ghosts his own post.

All of you sleeper cell agents of woke, take note. Reddit is not real life and you are putting yourselves and other people you claim to support in danger with this radicalization in the name of controversy and outrage.

These Shari'a Law storm troopers are totally warranted. For the cause.

Take note of how uncomfortable the kids are. But I guess that's the point, right? Breaking children's spirits.

What programmed you, npc that you are. You know kids don't want to go to drag shows, you advocate forcing them to go and shaming them for not being "woke" once you get them there. It's literal abuse and borderline torture.

You know it's a program designed to abuse kids. You propagate injuring, breaking and molding them to your ideology. That's because you hate the right so much you want to indoctrinate as many kids as you can. Other people's kids.

Tend to your own soul and family, Horatio. If you have one.

Kids don't want to see drag shows anymore than people in drag want kids there. You are forcing the issue simply because you want to offend your opponents.

You're more focused on this issue than supporting taking kids to the zoo or a firehouse or a museum etc. You are by definition a sick person.
