  • Quality into Quantity Time

  • Feel like shit just wanna consume too much caffeine and nicotine and write about urban ecology like it's an eldritch religion.

  • What kind of state response is there toward those reactionaries? Are they tolerated like in the west or is there an actual effort to

    ?

  • I'm not saying I've never covered myself in feathers and sat naked in a tree waiting for birds to feed me. I'm not perfect, no one is, we're all on a journey of learning and improving. Growing a termite on your back just seems like it'd take so long before it would trick the termites.

  • That must have been such a wild evolutionary arms race. I wonder how it even began.

  • With every snake I've handled, maybe a dozen species of domestic pets and wild ones, they've always been more afraid of me than I am of them. Even the rattlesnakes on hiking trails. One small part of their body is a defensive weapon while I have four limbs and tools. They can't see well, they're pretty dumb, and their mouth might not even be large enough to bite me.

    They don't really have mammalian affection but snakes do seek warmth. My chainlink kingsnake was almost 2m long and he wanted nothing more than to hold onto me while I did things. He could have constricted but I wasn't posing a threat and he was fed regularly on a predictable schedule. On feeding and shedding days I didn't handle him to minimise that conflict. The reward of having that pet was peaceful coexistence with something I have a mild phobia of and being able to see the behaviours that humanise it. They're all the fun of an aquarium but you can hold the fish.

  • Meanwhile my dog: :ecoterrorist:

  • Ontologically silly-ass

  • I take pride in poisonin' myself and my family as much as I poison my land and biosphere.

  • Do not, my friends, become addicted to genocide. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.

  • Andor is probably the last Stars War that I'll watch unless they come out with another one that learns from it. DS9 took Star Treks seriously and the result was a show that has relevant ideas 30 years later. Until Andor, none of the Stars Wars I've seen have taken the universe seriously. They've expanded on it in unnecessary detail and obsessed over that detail, but intellectually they've all felt flat and liberal. Andor spends three episodes showing the Death Star through Foucault and you get one brief shot of it after a full film-length of watching how a gear is made using slave labour. That dialectical materialist analysis of the empire is so much more interesting than any battle or Jedi scene across the whole canon.

  • Oceanic acidification means that the kraken can no longer form its shell.

  • What's your excuse for being this stupid?
