Skeuomorphism

No, they’re anti-IVF too. It stems from the fact that many embryos are fertilized but only a few are implanted. The rest are discarded. To the christofacists, this means they’re ‘killing children’.

Damn, .world needs to clean up their transphobe problem. Embarrassing.

Unsolicited advice incoming!

Green beans stir-fried with tofu or something are great. Could also try broccoli stir-fried; if you manage to cook them just enough that they still have some snap, they’re great.

Asparagus painted with butter, grilled, then served with lemon juice squeezed over them are heavenly.

Spinach I only like fresh so I sympathize.

‘Greed is an unlimited resource’ absolutely slaps.

So you actually count by segments of the finger, using your thumb as a tapper. Crook your index finger and look at it - three segments, right? (At least for most people) The segment nearest your hand is 1, middle is 2, end is 3. Middle finger is 4, 5, 6, etc. So you can count up to 12 on four fingers.

Then you use your non-dominant hand to mark dozens. Count to 12 on your main hand, raise on finger on your second hand, repeat. So you can actually count to 60 just on your hands.

It ain’t the emissions, it’s the land use. About 40% of the USA’s land is used for animal agriculture. Another 8% is for literally all the other crops. Stop eating meat, and we could return about a third of the land in the US to nature, or other uses. That’s a lot of carbon capture / solar power plants etc.

Alright, everyone post your opinions.

I think Base 12 is superior to Base 10 for human use.

We could get most of the way to stopping climate change by just not eating meat.

Also, I liked Mass Effect 3 more than 1 or 2.

Thanks, I hate it.

Well shit, I’m dumb.

China limits social media because they repress free speech and political association. TikTok and other social media was a huge part of why there was such an outcry over the invasion of Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza. They doubly limit what kids can see because students are often hugely influential in political activism - especially in China, where students were an integral part of both the revolution(s) and Tiananmen Square. China’s gov is pants-shittingly terrified of another student-led revolution/crisis/etc and keep a very close watch on what the kids are saying and seeing.

Stupid. Kids are more informed and hooked into current events than ever before, specifically because of phones and the Internet. Hell, half of most peoples’ jobs are looking up reference material online. You want kids to succeed, hand them a big list of the best places to look for the answers and let them use their phones on the test.

The chat built into my hospital’s charting software has the ‘thumbs up’ react so you can quickly and easily show that you’ve read it. So for me it just means ‘heard’, ‘roger’, etc.

Martial law generally has legal mechanisms in place to provide some limitations to duration etc.

In other words, it would be an improvement over what is currently happening.

…where do you live that people DON’T have a dishwasher? Everyone house I’ve ever seen in MN has one.

Just pointing out that your ‘handling your own response’ sure seems to include getting a lot of money from the feds.

Rent free.

That amendment doesn’t nullify shit. It’s waffle language. When the court cases eventually come up over this, judges will shrug and say that it doesn’t clearly forbid it, so it’s fine. Mark my words.
