@WildSentences Reading the posts, 1 person was pro-prof. Everyone else comments how put out they are. When you go out and get an 8-5 job will you arrive at 8:15 because you couldn't leave home on time. His point is that you are expected to be at class on time. Wait until you hit the real world
@QuidnuncQuery@NoContextHumans Those bags are already marketed as suitable for cabin. How will the buyer know the dimensions for every airline you're going to fly in the next 5 years and any changes they're going to make (when sellers can't even know it)?
You can tell a lot about a man about how they instinctively respond when it hits the fan.
In this photo, Stephen Miller moves on top of his pregnant wife to protect her.
Pete Hegseth stands over his wife, surveying the scene while leaning over, protecting her.
The only time I’ve ever commented on a person’s weight was when they are a guest in my home and purposely chose a chair that won’t hold their weight and they break it. It’s mental illness too. It’s like they are trying to prove they aren’t fat. No fat person ever has offered to replace the furniture they broke so I see no need to be polite about it. I scold them like a child and then never invite them back. 👋
We witnessed the true character of a lot of men last night
Trump picked up Melania, who was crawling on the floor as he's rushed out of the venue
Hegseth and Kash stood guard over their wives
Stephen Miller covered his pregnant wife w his body
Some real toxic masculinity
I responded to a lot of crazy and stupid calls in my firefighter days. This though? I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face.
Professionalism in situations like this was not my forte
So many are saying Trump fell.
What really happened was Trump went down to pick up Melania, who was crawling to safety, while the SS was pushing him to be safe!
Trump risked his own life to protect his wife. That’s a real man. Real men protect their wives.
@Ozymandias462@StarWarsDaily_ I hate this fight scene. It looks reckless. I wish they had focused on a samurai style of one strike. That style fits better with light sabers. The old samurai movie fights have a lot of tension. They're not flashy. But one miscalculation and it's over.
@ZakWojnar@StarWarsDaily_ I've always disliked the Revenge of the Sith fights. We went from a samurai inspired style in the originals to a bunch of twirling ballerinas.
@ItsAndyRyan@dygytylace@gregwilker@ChaosTV I voted for Biden even though I don't like him. I was told that it was for 1 term which was a lie. Then Harris aka Biden 2.0 was foisted on us. Maybe she's not the same as Biden tbf. There's this happening called a primary where candidates differentiate each other.
ADHD is not “I forgot to reply.” It’s “I saw it, composed three responses in my head, got overwhelmed, I told myself I’d do it later, and then it disappeared
Orcas have brain structures you don't have.
Neurobiologist Lori Marino's MRI work on killer whales identified a fourth cortical segment called the paralimbic lobe. It sits next to the limbic system and handles emotion and social awareness. It doesn't exist in humans or in any land mammal. In orcas, it's so elaborated it erupts into the cortex.
Their cortical limbic lobe, the region handling self-awareness and social processing, is exceptionally developed. Their brain weighs roughly 12 pounds, four times the mass of yours. They have spindle cells, the same neurons that let humans reason about other minds.
When an orca surfaces and locks eyes with you, it's running a social assessment with neural hardware specialized for exactly that. It knows you're a separate being. It knows you're watching it back. It's evaluating you.
Here's what should recontextualize the clip. In all of recorded history, wild orcas have killed zero humans. Zero documented fatalities. One surfer was bitten off California in 1972, and the orca released him the moment it realized he wasn't a sea lion. A 12-year-old was bumped in Alaska in 2005. The orca approached, touched him, turned back.
Orcas hunt great white sharks. They coordinate wave attacks that sweep seals off ice floes. They take down moose swimming between islands. They have every capability to kill you. They have never chosen to.
Marino's explanation: the orca neocortex is developed enough to instantly distinguish a human from prey. Other researchers point to orca culture, the traditions passed through pods across generations, in which humans simply aren't food.
That look is recognition and restraint. From a mind built for social cognition at a scale your brain can't reach.
