It’s not a cat. It’s a Tribble. With a tail. ;)

This is utter bullshit. You are confusing mosquitoes with moths. Moths are attracted by light. Mosquitoes are not. They are attracted and guided to their prey by CO2-trails from your respiration, body heat and certain molecules in your sweat. A light source will not attract them. It’s pure coincidence if they…

This is why the world will never truly respect America. How can you, in the face of so much stupidity?

This video does not mean you can’t / shouldn’t eat pork. It just means that there is vast room for improvement in their living conditions. Industrial conditions are just animal cruelty. If all pigs I eat had a life like this, I would not have any qualms whatsoever eating them. As it stands, I go for organic as this is…

I mean, I can emphasize with people who are honestly terrible at remembering names. Also, Ford is kind of old and forgetfulness is part of the package. But he might have his doctor look into the possibility that he’s developing dementia.

Seriously? I mean, seriously?? That movie was absolute crap due to the 10% thing you mentioned. It would have made more sense if Lucy were infected by some alien virus that gave her superpowers. Sure, there were cool fight sequences, but that’s about all.

One of the few honest trailers that is more or less thoroughly positive. Epic.

I agree: I feel that Captain Picard had a major hand in shaping my ethical foundations. This school of thought defined me to a considerable extent. A very important series!

This. So much this. TNG remains the best ‘Trek, and one of the best TV shows ever. I could wax rhapsodically about it for hours, but here are just a few things: the show dealt with major ethical and philosophical issues on an almost daily basis, proving that you don’t need to flood the screen with easy topics and…

First question: is Burnham a trans person (which would be totally ok, btw)? Why else would they give her a male name?

Why does everyone hate Wesley? He was always one of my favourites.

As I remember it, this was a weird film for someone from western culture to watch. I seem to recall arranged-marriage vibes.

Dicks don’t traumatise childen (half of them have one, after all, and the other half should not be brought up never having seen one). SEX does. For the uninitiated, sex looks like something painful - all the moaning, writhing, screaming... That’s not a good impression to start off with.

The easiest way to get there is to simplify food into three groups - carbs, fat and protein - and calculate with a lot of margin: assume all carbohydrate-heavy foods are made of 100 % carbs (eg. pasta, rice, flour, potatoes, sugar,...) and calculate them with 400 kcal per 100g. Assume all fat-components have 900 kcal…

From what I can tell from the article, there were signs beforehand. If you have plans, one would expect to be on the safe side and not bother turning up in the first place, then. Just go straight ahead to book another.

This seems like one of the most pointless inconveniences for flight passengers ever. If you had bad intentions, would you willingly submit to an extra security check, especially if it’s advertised to you in advance??? Hell no, you’d shell out for another flight where you’re not “randomly selected”. What nonsense!

Hm, interesting point.

“The friendzone does not exist.” I disagree. You can feel socially comfortable with a person of the opposite (or same, if that’s your thing) sex without wanting to get in their pants. I know “When Harry Met Sally” tried to teach us men and women can’t be friends, but that’s just an immature excuse for guys who can’t…

“Girls don’t owe you shit for being nice” - Word!! I have the feeling that this is literally what happens ANY time I talk to a man: they think you burn with desire for them just because the party is boring and you deign to talk to them. So frustrating!

omg, who thought this was a good idea? Aren’t adverts supposed to elicit positive emotion so you connect the product to feeling good? This just makes me want to run.
