Well, Graham Chapman was quite openly gay, it’s not surprizing they didn’t mock gays.

Mao? Stalin? No need to make everything about the US.

You made an assumption that she was a man. Making assumptions about things you don’t understand leads to making many mistakes.

Our opinions are not homogeneous and they change in time too.

Thank you for making the perfect reasonable and easy to understand points! Creatures with parasitic strategies have so many times been misunderstood due to they’re reduced bodies and functions. Viruses are the same case.

And it’s the ideal female body too.

I know you’re not talking to me, but let me seize this unique opportunity to tell you that the amazing Dracula orchids with flowers, which look A LOT like monkey faces to us humans, are actually trying to imitate certain type of mushrooms, which attract their pollinators (flies that lay eggs on the mushrooms)!!! The mushroom part of the flower is what seems to be the monkey’s mouth to us.

Please, feel free to search for Dracula orchid pictures to see many more monkey faces.

My own experience leaves me a bit more optimistic, although I do see some cursed bits.

The presence of money in research depends greatly on the field and the ability of the scientists to make their research sound sexy. You can mask a lot of wierd niche basic research topics with sexy applied research talk.

Also, there’s still a lot of science research without much money, being sustained by sheer enthusiasm.

That’s a bit like saying “Don’t be a dick, don’t order food at McDonalds, the employees can’t take a break if you order. And definitely no big orders.” If the employees can’t take a break, it’s the employer’s fault, not the customer’s.

I don’t know what gender you are, but you’ve just triggered my spidey-gut.

Hier kommt die Sonne.

Edit: No Rammstein fans here? I feel so alone now.

What the shmoo?

Guitar and books are great hobbies to return to when you’re older. It can be harder with sports.

I’ve checked and it seems things are not that bad on that front. The identified new Chinese sources were eliminated, if I understand correctly. There are still some sources unaccounted for, which is concerning, but those might be anywhere, not just in China.

Here’s an article, if you were interested: https://climate.nasa.gov/news/3065/nasa-funded-network-tracks-the-recent-rise-and-fall-of-ozone-depleting-pollutants/

That depends on the country and local experience with the US, which differes a lot. When it comes to Europe, US presence in NATO is crucial for the region’s security since WW2.

So much sweetness in one photo!

Well, there are already countries where people are not allowed to be furries and countries where the persecution is just starting. It can happen anywhere. There’s just one intolerance, no matter what target it choses. I’m not trying to compare furries and lgbt in any other way than in the hate those groups ignite in some people. And the hate is what I’m concerned with.

Also China recently started producing freons again. I thought we got rid of that problem for good, but no…

This is a worthy take that is unfortunately quite rarely seen. People are just not rational enough.

Yep, but Star Trek is written to make a point about society.
