Theses is the plural of thesis. Kinda looks stupid out of context but there you go.

This is the world feminists want. Dude is happy, bear is happy, lady is hiking without being attacked.

Your condescending tone and weird insistence that we only talk about very specific topics in very specific ways makes me think you’re not interested in a good faith discussion at all.

You seem upset, so I won’t push any more. Hope you feel better soon!

What aspect of your post are you interested in discussing? I found your assertion that the fear was irrational interesting, but if that’s off-limits we can talk about some other part…

Ok. If you don’t want to discuss why post?

What percentage of women do you suppose have had a man threaten to rape or kill them? Get violently angry at them? Sexually assault them or a friend? I reckon it’s near 100%.

The fear isn’t that all men will assault them, it’s that any man might. It’s not irrational, it’s based on experience. There are men in this thread arguing that women should be arming themselves to stay safe, right alongside men arguing that fear is irrational.

Fuck the men with hurt feelings. Your fellow men have proved themselves dangerous, time and again. Women will treat you like dangerous predators until men as a group start policing their own and building a world where women don’t have reason to fear.

Damn hydrogen! It ruined the universe!

All this work is making me thirsty! I’ll just order a Tab.

Scientists have not conclusively determined which species of skink is the cutest. But it’s this one.

This but unironically. You learn over time how to read subtitles without having to focus on the text. If you’ve ever tried speed reading, it’s a similar skill. You’re not really reading each letter of each word, you’re just kind of absorbing the pattern of the text to help inform how you interpret what you’re hearing.

With worse hearing loss you’ll obviously not be able to rely as much on the audio and will have to focus more on reading, but in those cases I don’t think anyone would argue the subtitles aren’t improving your experience of the video.

People are very friendly there, and many speak some amount of english, especially in Tokyo. A lot of signs have English translation on them too. Learn some polite phrases and try your best, and use a translator app if needed. You will do just fine!

Do-doot doot do-doot

Labs I’ve been in also have at least one inexplicable and kinda scary metal and asbestos monster from the 60s. Like this spinny boi:

Maybe it’s in Spanish mode.

Because they only care about protecting cop lives. If it reduces the chance of them being hit by a car 1%, but increases the chance of a blinded driver causing an accident that hurts someone else by 50%, that’s a tradeoff they’re willing to make.

How is the pocket dimension anchored? If I was on a plane and teleported to my pocket dimension, and then came back 5 minutes later, would I still be in the plane? Or would I be where the plane used to be 5 minutes ago?

Are you implying OP and the chickadee are in cahoots?

I’m both exaggerating and american.

I got there just in time! Thanks again for your help!
