Interesting. Hadn’t heard that one. (Or the sentiment)
On a side note, these days I feel like something affecting someone personally means it’s more likely to move them left - see leopards and faces.
(Unless it’s a tax or regulation, perhaps that’s what Phil was thinking of)
To most Americans (including myself before reading into it due to Lemmy) Liberal is simply a synonym of ‘left-wing’ and has no distinction at all from that and other terms like ‘leftist’, ‘progressive’, etc. All of these terms mean exactly “not conservative” - mostly in a social sense.
My (weak) understanding is that outside the US, Liberal is a (mostly) economic position - specifically one supportive of capitalism, which both major parties in the US are. (With slight policy differences.)
Do you want evil Superman? Cause that’s how you get evil Superman.
Serious answer: That would take more effort and energy than just dealing with it on earth by many orders of magnitude. It’s even harder to launch into the sun than it is to launch it outside the solar system (which is also infeasible of course)
“Cause and Effect” returns to the beginning of the episode several times! (A dozen, a hundred, it’s impossible to tell. But actually 3-4 I think)
Thanks! I had no idea what the context was.
It’s actually an interesting video. (To me at least) Of course the presentation is over-the-top, but they cover some of the history of forced perspective, and how Fellowship of the Ring did it in a way that hasn’t been done before or since in a feature film.
human instrumentality.
Ah yes, orange sauce.
I think the comic is pointing out a funny hypocrisy that we usually have between land bugs and sea bugs, but they are all bugs.
That’s the one the editor forced to be clearer‽
The story of self-driving cars in a nutshell.
The original post used the word bugs, not insects. (Although the pic does seem to show only insects, I’d interpret that as a stock image fail)
Bugs are such a wide group already that to me it seems reasonable to include branches separated by 400 million years of evolution, much the way ‘fish’ is such a wide group that by a scientifically reasonable definition it can include all vertebrates as a subgrouping.
Can those values actually go above 1 even in theory?
“Bugs” (obviously not specifically Hemiptera) includes a Lot more than just insects. If you go back to the most recent common ancestor of everything commonly called a bug, I’m sure it’s Way back there and its descendents would include not only ocean arthropods but I’d guess probably most things with shells. Possibly just most animals
And yes, we are that closely related to fish
I actually think that’s a universal truth. One’s own accent is boring or even feels “non-existent” (it exists) but it may be very attractive to someone else with a different one.

“Aw nuts, killed another infant.”
That’s only true if the person watching doesn’t rewind it…
