It depends. They both contract, but if the second pupil is small, it doesn’t matter. I have a small one, and it just causes uveitis every once in a while. I went half my life without even noticing it.

You can become sensitive to light, and the irritation can slowly cause blindness. That’s pretty much it

One fun thing: if you ever get uveitis, wearing an eye patch won’t work. Your eye will still try to dilate with your other eye. Also your pupil/s will stretch like in the pictures.

Some liquor stores will give you matches if you ask, for free. It’s not terribly common, but it’s helpful if you’re a smoker and your lighter runs out.

In total, between 1965 and 1973, 312,853 South Korean soldiers fought in Vietnam; Vietnam’s Ministry of Culture and Communications in an unofficial investigation[6] estimated they killed 41,400 enemy fighters and 5,000 civilians.[7] After the Vietnam war, there were thousands of children of mixed Korean and Vietnamese descent, called Lai Dai Han, born of Korean workers or soldiers and local Vietnamese.[8] Reportedly, many resulted from widespread “My Lai-style massacres” that[9] involved the rape of Vietnamese Women by South Korean soldiers.[8] Various civil society groups continue to hope for a formal investigation and apology into these events.[10]

Well groomed beards are a cheat code for ugly guys.

To me, it’s always crazy when someone asks a simple math question, like “how much will I paying for this month?”, and then the phone comes out. Dude you only had to add up three or four numbers.

I’m starting at new office with that policy. I’m already scoping out the single desks. It’s kind of nice being able to ask people questions, but I’d rather just use webx these days.

I loved him early on, his character is starting to get on my nerves.

Xanthrax,
@Xanthrax@lemmy.world avatar

I agree. I actually like the new season a little more. Reminds me of the early seasons.

Xanthrax,
@Xanthrax@lemmy.world avatar

I was surprised by that. It’s better without him.

I hate to be that guy, but they don’t remember where they hide their nuts. All the squirrels are hiding nuts, so they depend on finding eachothers stashes.

One thing I’ve always found helpful:

Use planners and reminders for benign tasks. You shouldn’t be stressing and thinking about that all the time. All that being said, I do get that sense of dread, omw to work.

I’d change that to “marginalized people”.

@Xanthrax@lemmy.world avatar

Lmao, I didn’t even notice him.

I can’t not imagine her vaping now. Preferably standing outside at 7 in the morning, in those cookie monster pajamas

I mean, no joke, a dog whining/ begging is conditioning you.

I am a dog.

I beg. You give me food. I look cute.

I beg. You don’t give me food. I cry.

Next time I beg, will you give me the food?

Probably.

After that: I look cute. You give me food.

Congratulations, you’ve just been conditioned by your dog, buuuuut you get a cute dog, lmao.

Found the article: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1820653116

That is super neat, you’re right! It was bread into them due to human preference.

Lmao, I’m not going to fix it.

That’s how it actually works, right? They have something more akin to a hydraulic system, than a muscular system. I think all the pressure would be stored in the trunk, right?

Edit: never mind, I’m thinking of arachnids, not insects.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid_locomotion

Ants have muscles:

They both use hemolymph but only arachnids use them as hydraulics.

And were originally associated with smutty comics/ advertisements! Basically animal pinups that were supposed to be edgy.

I’m not even a furry, but I really loved this video about it. (It’s long form)
