  • Yeah I disagree with every single one of these. Contrast in food is good. Varied textures are good. Sweet and sour is good. Congrats, I think you have an actually unpopular opinion.

  • I mean, some people enjoy going out into energetic crowds.

  • You're absolutely right that this exists. Thing is, most defendents explicitly waive their right to a speedy trial. It's to their advantage to drag things out, generally.

  • Major cases moving forward this slowly is not unusual at all. It's usually to the defendant's advantage to draw things out.

  • That being because the drink tea/savor tea emote also has both.

  • Yeah I just think it's kind of neat how the names of English pokemon are formed in a similar way to how they are in Japanese.

  • I think these are the same root? Pika pika is used to mean clean but it's onomatopoeia for sparkling. That double word onomatopoeia construction in japanese doesn't really have a direct analogue in English I don't think.

  • Usually directly feeding animals is looked down upon because decreasing their fear of humans tends to be a negative for their survival, and it might impact their ability to forage for their own food. With birds specifically, though, putting up feeders is more mixed. Migration takes an enormous amount of energy and and human sprawl has removed a lot of natural food sources. And especially in wintertime, food can be quite scarce for birds. But at the same time bird feeders can actually be big spreaders of disease and I know that there was guidance that people should take down feeders at the height of bird flu.

    Now when it comes to mallards, they're honestly a species that is incredibly urbanized already, so I don't think directly feeding them is doing a great deal of harm.

  • Pika is pronounced "pie-kuh" generally. Pikachu comes from pika pika (japanese onomatopoeia for "sparking/sparkling" usually with the connotation of clean) + chuu (sound a mouse makes/squeak).

  • Same as the first picture but fatter.

  • Eh I wouldn't count on that. It's not like assholes all get along with one another.

  • Hm, I can't remember the name of it, but I do recall some discussion about why smiles look fake with regard to "hide the pain harold". The conclusion seemed to be that it's just how his face is.

  • I somehow think the method for decoding what the object is is more rigorous than some guy being "oh i dunno I guess it's a cucumber maybe?

    From here

  • Because the justice system is entirely formed on the belief that it is better to let many guilty people go free than one innocent person be punished, or so it is said. So giving the president the ultimate ability to grant clemency, but none to punish, was an intentional, last ditch method for preventing injustice, supposedly.

  • Yeah if there's one thing the system loves, it's leaving ex-cons destitute and likely to reoffend because they can't function on the outside.

  • Trump just literally doesn't give a shit about a single other human. Not a shred of empathy in him.

  • Doesn't take a lot of observation to see that small rodents are in fear of just about every encounter, largely because that's what keeps them alive.

  • and let the birds, mice, etc... live without fear.

    LOL, that's not really how mice and small birds work.
