I’m not sure that fawn feel much fear since they’re supposed to lie in one spot and wait for their mother, a quick search turned up “Very young fawns do not appear to have any natural fear of predators, and may even walk up to humans” although I haven’t been able to conclusively verify the claim.

Oh my god, that picture of your dog carefully smelling it might just make my heart explode.

“And I had to do all this just to say that the environment is fucked.”

The person who proposed it to begin with, Ylva Johansson is (to my great shame) a Swedish social democrat. Social democrats in Sweden unfortunately have their heads up their own asses a lot of the time.

Are you implying that helping and saving people is not worthwhile if it doesn’t immediately put an end to the war?

This is how I know you’re a troll:

My point is that Russia has been and is entirely capable of waging that same kind of brutal, truly monstrous Western military campaign. They have chosen not to for a variety of reasons

The Russians have been conducting absolutely horrifying crimes against humanity since the start of the war and, in fact, at least since World War 2. There is so much rape and torture embedded in the way that the Russian military operates that killing civilians, which is unconscionable and horrifying, is the least of their crimes.

The Russians could leave Ukraine today and the war would be over. Full stop. There is no justification for anything else.

I have a horrible feeling that this is the beginning of a terrible slide. The racists will use this opportunity to be as obstructionist as they can and then scream in their home countries about how inefficient the EU is, and because the EU is so far away from home for most people, they’ll believe them. And then we’ll slide further.

They were in the Eurovision this year (and unfortunately came last) but the Norwegian band Gåte. Their songs Skarvene and Hamløypar are two of my favorites, and Bannlyst is also fantastic.

C++ is unironically my favorite language, especially coding in python feels so ambiguous and you need to take care of so many special cases that just wouldn’t even exist in C++.

I think the idea is that the play order for the entire playlist is shuffled on each loop, so you play all songs in one order, then it shuffles, and you play all songs again but in a different order.

All the nerds who go to the gym just quietly shed a tear.

I also think that men (of which I am one) tend to overestimate just how much women appreciate muscles. Naturally it’s a spectrum but I at least have the experience that men believe that getting muscular will automatically award them with adoration from women when that seldom seems to be the case.

You forgot the most important Viking law:

Yeah, a lot of editors throw warnings for using the equals operator with floats by default, as far as I know it’s considered bad practice to do it that way.

Well, the ship was towed outside of the environment.

Starcraft was also supposed to be a Warhammer 40k game iirc.

Let me know when you want to have a conversation instead of arguing in bad faith. Aside from that I suggest you learn how to be less angry about things on the internet, it’ll make you happier.

I’m not sure if you’re trolling or not but “black people are dangerous thugs” is very clearly a racist generalizing statement.

That is, at least to me, is both a bit of a strawman and an invalid comparison.

First: The statement “black people are” implies it applies to all of them, or at least the average person, whereas the sentiment that I usually see isn’t that all men are dangerous but rather that some are and it’s difficult, if not impossible, to know which are beforehand.

Second: Men have not been marginalized, discriminated, and systematically oppressed for centuries. People of color have been, at the very least in the west and the countries they’ve colonized.

There’s an additional point to be made here that I feel is relevant: Ethnicity does not inherently infer a large difference in physical characteristics the same way biological sex does. I don’t imagine the strength of an average person varies as much depending on ethnicity as it does depending on biological sex. The average man is much physically stronger than the average woman, in a physical confrontation she’d be at a distinct disadvantage.

I think you hit on something that is a pretty big part of the problem: Men taking it personally. As far as I know, no specific man is mentioned, but a lot seem to insert themselves into the situation.

I try to do my best in life to be a good person, to be a good man, but I completely get why a woman would be worried about being in the middle of nowhere with a strange man, even if that man was me, because they don’t know what that person is capable of.

The joke is saying that he knows something so that Boeing will tale him out.
