Yes.

To clarify what I mean: just… all of that, yes, exactly that. :-P

I liked how the heroes weren’t rich billionaire ninja assassins or Amazonian princesses or space aliens who work as a reporter by day and occasionally help out on the farm (or literal gods, or scientific freaks of nature, etc.), but instead are like a nurse and some wannabe orphans (hey, be the change you want to see… right?:-P - but before anyone downvotes this, know that not everyone is cut out to be a parent).

That part was kinda cool 😎. We do what we can with what we have - that’s real shit right there.

Dark Darth Brandon could do it, I’m just saying… 😇

So… kill them all, bc it’s the only thing that’s “fair”? 😉

Long-term: facing them and dealing with the source. e.g. I would get nervous about job interviews, but like… as I should, right!? Bc it means that I care about the outcome. Nothing will ever reduce that, except experience doing it over and over, but in the meantime that fight or flight response “helps” to go over everything, e.g. to practice and prepare in all the various ways needed.

Short-term: reading a new/old 400pg tome for an introduction to some random topic… 😜

Maybe it was a joke from him back then too? I don’t recall the context, just thought it was funny here 🤣.

Voice? Face? O-o-oh, right…

But just to imagine, as a joke…

Why u gonna out your neighbors like that?

(Bc if they aren’t “in” either, then they are likely…:-P)

This joke brought to you by my brain. Are you sure you wouldn’t rather have the AI now? 😜

I think, uh… I think…

Cashing in to make a buck.

That’s what they want you to think! 🤔

Then it sounds like you have a project in front of you, to find a way to make it happen at home!? :-P

I will never shut up about viruses - they are aliens on earth, or like something I dunno but they are so fucking cool!

A monophyletic clade must include all descendants. A taxonomic group itself can hold anything.

Viruses can also integrate DNA into cells and it sticks there forever sometimes, thus bypassing the tree entirely (making it a network, i.e. no longer acyclic thus no longer a tree).

There is a lot of weirdness in the world, stranger than people have dreamed.:-P

Oh really?

Well, now I just appreciate all the more your sending me that one, kind person:-).

Is a real™ one better than a Lemmy-computed™ one? Either way, it’s good to have choices you know!? 😃

A large part of the confusion is that dinosaurs did not emerge from birds in the same way that humans did not evolve from Chimpanzees (nor monkeys) - but rather, both groups in those pairs evolved from a common ancestor (but different ones:-).

Birds have feathers and for the most part fly, while alligators not so much. In attempting to simplify, e.g. Avians to “birds”, it causes confusion. Alligators also are not warm-blooded as birds are, not do they have beaks, all hallmarks of modern birds, but they do have four legs, long body with a tail, moveable eyelids - and don’t they have external ear openings as well? - all hallmarks of modern lizards.

Scientists use precision language like “non-Avian theropod”, but those don’t map perfectly to common words like “birds”, which everyone knows are just government drones anyway:-P.

One is The Reverse Gish Gallop and another is The Card Says Moops, though the latter is a significantly longer journey.

If you haven’t watched (or its been a minute since), I would start from the first one in the series bc it builds so nicely and foundationally:-).
