Ok, maybe suss is Australian. I was surprised to see it listed with "on cap" because I've heard suss being said all my life by a wide range of people, but I did grow up in Australia.

If there's a bad pleistocene joke, I haven't heard it.

The joke here is so elegant. I think this is a really good example what's so great about far side.

Hegar, to memes in It's a simple world view

I'd encourage you to expand your worldview - a lot of problems we attribute to capitalism are mostly because of hierarchy.

Hegar, to asklemmy in US residents: What big domestic policy improvements have the american people won from congress in the last 30 years?

I would say that the legitimate process of seeking opportunities has been intentionally made to look illegal by waves of xenophobic policy from both Rs and Ds who have created an immigration system that's designed to generate workers without a legal foothold. If there was a functional way for people to seek the life they want, they wouldn't need to resort to fake IDs and hiding in trucks to get a job. But then industries would have to pay them legal wages.

A lot of people want to create a distinction between someone who's fleeing full-blown war or starvation vs someone who's fleeing poverty. I can't see how it is a crime to flee either. It is just a reality that humans will try to escape suffering, monumental suffering and everyday suffering - legislation and bureaucracy can accomodate or ignore that but it won't change it. So when we ignore it, we know that the black market will step in.

More broadly it suits the needs of capital to restrict the flow of labour as much as possible. Labour free to seek the best conditions means upward pressure on wages, lower margins and less leverage for capital.

They don't though. It's not illegal to seek asylum.

Bootied trunk bug, got it.

No idea. It's the style she appreciates. Ironically, she finds it very innocent.

Hegar, to lemmybewholesome in And I love him

I opened the door one day and there he was. He looked up at me, meowed hungrily and put a paw up the doorway.

Hegar, to lemmyshitpost in got her!

A conversation between those three people sounds like the theoretical limit of dull.

Hegar, (edited ) to memes in I have bad news for you...

I see dope, pedo, and pood. Now I wonder why there aren't more obscene word search shirts.

Hegar, to lemmybewholesome in And I love him

Mine was tailless, filthy, with a large hairless scar across his back and blue bow tie.

Hegar, to lemmyshitpost in It's like everyday

says “Fake News” to anything I don’t like,

Sorry if that seemed to be my intention. As I mentioned, all bodies are different and if you say that happens to you I'm perfectly willing to believe it.

However, there is also a common misunderstanding about this which seems relevant to mention.

the initial science seems to be there.

It is not.

"I've heard that you shouldn't drink milk when you have a cold because it increases phlegm. Is this true?
Answer From Julie Baughn, M.D.
No. Drinking milk does not cause the body to make phlegm." - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/common-cold/expert-answers/phlegm/faq-20058015

The no doubt reputable "livelovefruit.com" claims "Milk and Mucus: Why Dairy is The Major Cause of Your Phlegm, Mucus and Congestion Issues" and then spends several paragraphs railing against diary industry science before citing some tangential studies.

"Milk and dairy product intake was not associated with an increase in upper or lower respiratory tract symptoms of congestion or nasal secretion weight." - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2154152/

"Excessive milk consumption has a long association with increased respiratory tract mucus production and asthma. Such an association cannot be explained using a conventional allergic paradigm and there is limited medical evidence showing causality. " - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19932941/
