No civil war. The transition to dictatorship and religious totality seems to go smoothly.

On the end of Discovery

I have mixed feelings about Disco ending. I really dug the first season’s look at a Federation at war, and following the person who arguably set that war in motion dealing with her culpability. Add to that a ship that is part weird science lab, part haunted house. And yeah, I could live with the Klingon redesign....

angrystego ,

Orville ships have the superior design.

TIL in 1893, the US Supreme Court held 9–0 that the tomato should be classified as a vegetable rather than a fruit in Nix v. Hedden, 149 U.S. 304, for purposes (en.wikipedia.org)

of tariffs, imports and customs. Justice Horace Gray delivered the opinion of the Court in holding that the Tariff Act of 1883 used the ordinary meaning of the words "fruit" and "vegetable", instead of the technical botanical meaning....

angrystego ,

There’s no botanical meaning of vegetable. That’s a cooking term. In botany, you have different parts of the plant, like fruit, stem or root, you have different groups of plants, like the ginger family or monocots. And you can say a plant is edible or useful.

I think you don’t need to identify as anything. You’re you and you’re doing it well. Good luck in all you choose to do!

angrystego ,

I wouldn’t necessarily call that a dirty surface. Unless you mean the butthole - that’s ditrty enough.

angrystego ,

People who have just a small sice of cheese left in the fridge?

angrystego ,

Like seriously. The cat didn’t even think about eating the cheese.

angrystego ,

Yeah, I don’t think anyone is preparing food there. People can be more or less sensitive about the cleanliness of surfaces they put their own food on and it’s ok.

angrystego ,

I respect this answer.

The ears don’t agree though, they’re ready to fight.

angrystego ,

At the same time, people shouldn’t tolerate toxic environment.

angrystego ,

I think it’s the different humor and visual style case. And that’s ok. I don’t think you need to understand the many Trek injokes to like it- I know people who don’t know Trek and enjoy LD.

What I find interesting is that you feel the characters are cynical. I was quite suprised how endearingly idealistic the characters were, despite being written as flawed. They always make sure to do the right thing and they try very hard to better themselves. There’s a lot of character growth involved, which I much appreciate.

During the first two episodes, I also found the characters hyperactive. By the third one I adapted.

angrystego ,

Yes, it is obnoxious.

angrystego ,

I understand it depends on the definition, but I feel like using the word robot for something created from living cells is a bit of a stretch.

angrystego ,

I don’t know. The cybernetic part is just not prominent enough for me. It just makes me feel like they want to mask the fact that they’re using living organisms to make their experiments seem more appealing and less body horror.

angrystego ,

I’m aware of the depandence on definition.

angrystego ,

This is awsome!

angrystego ,

I saw a different season 3 I guess. The humor was gone but the kind and progressive approach to problems that I like about Trek was kinda gone too.

angrystego ,

In which countries does it work?

angrystego ,

Based on other responses, I’d say English, Chinese and Spanish cover a lot of territorry. Are there any suggestions for African and Indian languages? In general I think it’s logical to look for languages of nations with big cultural influence on other countries.

angrystego ,

I think it’s about the general view on masturbation. Like I guess some people in Poland would love to tell preschoolers that masturbation is wrong and shouldn’t be done at all. If anyone teaches children it’s ok, but they shouldn’t do it in front of everyone, it’s easy to imagine it leads to the idea of a masturbation room, which can easily cause outrage in Polích population despite the fact it’s actually nothing wrong.

angrystego ,

I agree with you. I think twitter was as good for progressives as it was for nazis and Elon and others couldn’t have that. The fact that we’re not discussing this on Twitter and not even on Reddit, but on this beautiful but obscure platform, showd it all works well for the nazis.

angrystego ,

Yes, but even if we used the resources better, we would still come to a limit, just later. Eternal population growth is nonsense.

angrystego ,

Not really. Babies have brown fat as default. Adults have white fat which can turn brown in response to cold exposure (not as much as in babies, so it’s also called beige fat). Brown of beige though, it works the same - there’s a high count of mitochondria in the cells and the tissue can produce heat and make you feel (and be) warmer. It also helps with weight loss, stimulates the immune system and lowers inflammation.

angrystego ,

Yeah, Tendi irl is not green at all.

angrystego ,

That’s probably an artefact of the electron microscopy preparation. Irl they’re translucent and they’re even cuter when they move: shutterstock.com/…/clip-1039663166-tardigrade-hig…

angrystego ,

I think the influence of your weight, technique and muscles is much more prominent.

angrystego ,

Not everyone in this comment section uses correct nomenclature. It would be preferable for those bugged by it to use empathy to understand the true meaning of the comments (or, if impossible, to ask politely about the meaning) and to correct the mistakes in a nice way, avoiding the urge to take the wrong words litterally - that doesn’t add to the discussion.

angrystego ,

It’s also possible that doing something will slowly lead to the shift you’re talking about and be better than doing nothing. So isn’t it worth trying?

angrystego ,

The Flash is not MCU. The rest is true.

angrystego ,

Why? Asking genuinely. This ai pic made me smile. And there’s a cat there!

angrystego ,

So no cat drawings are allowed either?

angrystego ,

Not groundbreaking but kind of nice.

angrystego ,

Seeing all these “Intelligence sucks” comments makes me realize the anti-science movement is natural and inevitable. We’re doomed.

angrystego ,

I like both your explanation of the prevailing answers here and your proposed use of the button - it all makes sense!

angrystego ,

Which two animals do you mean?

angrystego ,

The rare mammal in question is the long-beaked echidna.

angrystego ,

It wasn’t to me. Thanks.

angrystego ,

What?

angrystego ,

It’s not just about systems, It’s about conditions. Certain conditions make certain strategies more profitable - see game theory. I think low population density and hard life conditions cam lead to kindness being among the winning strategies.

angrystego ,

Drop the fascism and we can talk.

angrystego ,

I was hoping I didn’t.

angrystego ,

Fortunately, we’re doing our best to make our life conditions harder in the future and possibly to lower the population as well!

Of course, there can be other sets of conditions that lead to kindness win. Like probably heavy cultural persecution of selfishness. The conditions can also be pretty complex. I wonder whether those things have been studied in some meaningful way.

angrystego ,

I’m afraid that’s it.

angrystego ,

It feels a bit less lonely if you’re a trekkie who likes cats.

angrystego ,

People can think of other species as being morally as valuable as people and not be psychotic.

They can also chose the human in the trolley problem and still feel bad for the crab. If the trolley problem included people from my familly and strangers, I’d chose my family, but not because I think it’s morally superior. I would feel bad for the other people.

The line where compassion stops can be drawn anywhere. Many people draw it where their nation or race ends. Many people draw it at the elusive pet/food distinction. Many people draw it where being mammal stops.

I don’t think drawing the line is based on moral principles. It’s practical. Sometimes you need to eat meat, sometimes you need to fight in a war. But when it comes to morality animal lives are animal lives, no matter whether it’s a crab or a white male human. They’re either all worthy of compassion or non of them is.

So that’s my point of view. And thanks for your previous answer.

angrystego ,

Now I’m imagining the Holy Pinity.
