This is absolutely mindboggling. Wondering if the animal was sick and desperate. This kind of aggression is so rare

My guy, I'm not yelling at anyone. You smashed that capslock button and continue to rant at me. I am simply participating in discourse on the internet, same as everyone else on this site.

Drafting articles of impeachment is still the right thing to do.

And they could be effective, especially if someone who isn't Al Green files them. The entire party could coalesce around this and make it matter. None of the other attempts this year have had any kind of broad Democratic backing.

It is possible for me to yell at my Republican representative in Congress AND disagree with doomerist/"nothing we do matters" sentiments on the internet. I'm not equating posting with activism lol

I think "Speaker of the House condones calls for political violence and extrajudicial killing of political rivals of a co-equal branch of government by not allowing a vote on impeachment proceedings" is still a story worth sharing, especially compared to doing nothing at all

Because he should be impeached, and everyone in Congress should be made to make their position on death threats known. Just because it's not likely to result in his conviction doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.

Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman or West African Dwarf Crocodile seem to be the smallest species, maxing out at around 5ft long from head to tail! Not quite cat vs leopard/jaguar/panther difference, but still

Caimans

Roborock has treated me pretty well so far!

This would be fine if he wasn't in the bunk above me

"As an English major, I found Bratz Babyz Save Christmas quite reductive" or something lol

For sure. Knowing your degree is definitely more of a "ah yep, that makes sense" thing. If you had a math degree, I'd be surprised, but it wouldn't really matter

It would be a great bit for you to state your degree before giving a thoughtful take on some obscure, awful kids movie tho

Cracked myself up at the thought of "As a wildlife major, here is the animal I find MOST AMAZING"

But I realized I have seen tiktoks with that exact framing before and I did indeed want to tell those people to shut up

Or at least can be useful. I will say I'm inclined to find your takes a bit more seriously given your education because my mild experience with English (and the requisite literary analytical skills) tells me something about your approach to media criticism, even if it shouldn't be relevant at all
November 6, 2025 at 2:37 PM
Okay I'm with you. I've certainly been guilty of "as a blank" statements before, but appeals to authority or whatever the fallacy aren't persuasive for opinion-based stuff, or at least shouldn't be

I do think knowing someone's background provides useful context for understanding their takes, though

Speaking of flying squirrels but completely unrelated (genetically), my favorite animals are colugos, aka flying lemurs.

They're not lemurs at all, but they're kind of proto primates in that all primates share a common ancestor with these weirdos before any other mammal on Earth.

There is a spectrum of expertise where stating your qualifications does become useful though, right? Or are you conceptualizing interior design as so accessible that it doesn't require formal expertise to have "good" opinions on the subject

I'm right there with ya! It seems like they're fairly common? There are other similarly sized species in the region too, so you might get lucky with a spot light if you go out at night.

The vibes are good on this one! If that's AI then I'm cooked
