Costco has had Christmas stuff out since September 1st. I would like to slap whoever is doing this. I used to love Christmas! Now by the time it actually rolls around I’m sick and fucking tired of seeing all the Christmas shit everywhere for the last four fucking months. Fuck you!
Lol what. If people weren't buying it, they wouldn't ship it out this early and stock it this early. Anybody with basic business sense would think, what if we put out xmas a week earlier than last year? And then it sells, so they do it again and again until the sales of xmas items don't cover the cost of liquidating the the summer items.
Why would they not want to maximize sales? If there's a demand, it's in their best interest to supply.
So, if I understand correctly, the loss of motoric functions in Parkinson’s is thought to be caused by the loss of dopamin in the brain. However, motoric functions remain normal if there’s even just a little dopamin left in the system, which is surprising.
That is a really fascinating discovery and I wonder what the next steps will be to possibly apply a treatment based on this. Also, that article was written insanely well!
You know that meme where it’s got all these animals lined up left to right and the message is “where do you draw the line”? I’d think probably just before this animal is a good starting place
I kind of agree… I’ve been around these things, and they are incredibly stupid.
I guess I’d draw the line around them purely because in western culture these are pets… But I think practically speaking these are a lot better than actual pigs, which are very intelligent.
We have very strange eating habits when you really think about it.
It always amazed me that the anti-abortion people and the vegetarian people had basically no overlap. Supposedly “pro-life” with no exceptions… unless it’s this pig I want to eat. But that fetus with encephalopathy? That baby deserves every second of his tortuous, miserable life. All 38 hours of it.
I have a friend who is both anti-abortion and vegetarian. She's not the most logical person all the time, but she's really consistent on this one. I vigorously disagree with her anti-abortion stance, but I admire her consistency, if that makes sense.
This absolutely crossed my mind earlier today when I ate rice and shrimp that I had to peel for myself. Their long antennae things and little legs made me think of the time I heard someone say that they’re the cockroach of the sea. They may be, but I still ate the shit out of them and they were absolutely delicious.
Lobsters are the cockroaches. Shrimp are more like, crickets maybe in the pecking order of the food chain and shell density. But basically all the shellfish with exoskeletons are super similar to bugs. Crabs are clearly basically spiders.
For me, I’d have a hard time eating whole bugs because it’s all shell and little meat, and I imagine the texture to be off-putting. Also, I’ve kept crickets and they’re so stinky.
