Right, but what about the mimic plant? It mimicks whatever plant is near it. And it can mimic plastic plants. https://www.vox.com/down-to-earth/2022/11/30/23473062/plant-mimicry-boquila-trifoliolata

Children always looked stupid, you just didn't notice it when you were a child

There are enough dogs in the world. Adopt.

Joe Biden is going to kill thousands of people, and his actions will make fascism in the US inevitable. He's on record in the past saying the IDF doesn't go far enough in its murder of Palestinians. He's a terrible person. Please vote against him in the primary. A Biden presidency will end lives.

Please vote for him if he wins the primary. His election will delay fascism in the US by four years. It will make time for thousands of trans refugees to escape America. He might be persuaded to pressure Israel to call a ceasefire. A Biden presidency will save lives.

No, many people do sex work on the internet and depend on distribution rights to their own bodies to make an income. I'm not usually a fan of copyright, but I make a big exception for people's bodies. This also isn't just a matter of money, it's a matter of personal dignity and social integrity. Nobody should be coerced into giving up creative rights to their own body. It's sexual harassment at best. If my nudes are used to train an AI in some way with a profit motive, then I'm engaged in what is essentially prostitution without my own consent.

Been doing some googling. Most stars are dwarf stars, and the habitable band of a red dwarf is so close the tidal forces are way stronger. It might turn out that most habitable planets are tidally locked.

There's a book called The City In The Middle Of The Night that takes place on a tidally locked planet. It has politics, science fiction, and lesbians.

Side note:

If marriage is between a man and a woman as Republicans claim, then Mrs is not only a gender identity but also a sexual identity, and is doubly prohibited.

(Arguments that Mrs entails allosexual identity are equally predicated on Republican misconception, in this case lack of understanding of the sex/romance distinction)

I don't think it would be evil to ban gendered pronouns in Florida schools. I think it would provoke a great deal of careful thought in these schools and broaden students' horizons. And I also think the Republicans would immediately undo it to "save the kids" by repealing the Don't Say Gay bill inside of a month. So ultimately no harm done, and quite likely some good for the students. But on a broader level, it would do a lot of good by repealing the bill and making Republican policies look hostile to Republican voter interests, delegitimising the party's image in Florida and swinging the state left.

Some cops might help others as a hobby when they're not busy, but that's not what they're paid for. Cops are paid primarily to enforce bourgeois property rights and maintain the government, which in much of the English speaking world is a monarchy and/or a colony. Cops are soldiers in a war against the people.

That's because capitalism is an extreme right wing idea

Israel means to assert that to be Jewish is to be genocidal.

Can someone from a country that gets snow explain this meme?
