  • That is a deep fundamental problem in our culture. Not recognizing the immorality, even grossness, of casually weilding the kind of sums of money that can buy and sell other people.

    And it's relative, and many of us are guilty of it, and even if we recognize it, most off us can say, well I'm not as bad as those people, pointing to those above us. Most westerners, even fairly poor ones, are in that position wrt people in other parts of the world.

    I'm neither blaming anyone, nor letting anyone (including myself) of the hook. That's beside the point. We need to change our culture's understanding of this. How, idk, except that every time we can point at it and say WTF!?! we should.

  • It is sometimes recommended that each person have TWO toothbrushes to ensure that it dries thoroughly between uses. You don't want to be culturing your mouth bacteria on your toothbrush.

    You also don't all have the same mouth biome, because you likely have different oral hygiene habits, diets, etc. So no, you don't want to share toothbrushes, those of you with less healthy oral biomes may be giving undesirable stuff to those of you with healthier ones.

  • Oh, sure, no disagreement from me on that. But this looks to me like something from a magazine, so one expects some level of professionalism. Now if this is some 12 year old's fanzine or something, ok, I feel bad for giving them shit, but a professional journalist should be embarrassed.

  • In case I wasn't clear about this in my other reply, my main point is that a photo of something fake is not the same thing add as a fake photo. If the dinosaur is animatronic, it's not a fake photo. If the dinosaur is CGI, yeah fake photo.

  • No, this is sloppy use of language, which worked the same 50 years ago. The only thing different today is the range of things that exist that we can infer that they really mean by their sloppy language. There were still ways to manipulate photos, before CGI. One might have called such a manipulated photo a 'fake photograph' in that day (though even that is arguably a little sloppy). But a non manipulated photo of a real physical model is not in any way a 'fake photograph'. You could say a photograph of a fake Gigantopithecus, or of a fake scene but that's not the same thing. Yes, we can infer what's meant when people carelessly slap adjectives on the wrong nouns, but it is sloppy writing.

    Notice how much more accurate and well written OP's description is: "Paleo-anthro sculptor Bill Munns with his Giganto reconstruction"

  • I used dandruff shampoos for most of my life. My dandruff is the best it's ever been since switching to a shampoo and conditioner that are slightly acid of neutral instead of basic like nearly every other shampoo.

    Your skin is meant to be slightly acidic. Constantly assaulting its pH is not ideal. Yes it reasserts its normal pH pretty quickly afterwards but being gentler with your skin can help with some issues.

  • Romantic feelings can develop without knowing a person. They can develop without the target even being real. People often have experience with romantic feelings toward a fantasy or fictional character long before they are old enough for a relationship.

    Have you never identified with the romantic feelings toward a character in fiction (novel, movie, etc)? Have those experiences not been particular toward a gender?

    I think people imagine this stuff is more conscious and rational than it is. It just happens and it doesn't necessarily make sense.

  • He said that if such interference were really happening and conservatives were supporting such behavior they were “crazy” because eventually they themselves would be the target of such censorship

    What's really wild is that his biggest concern is that the people doing the fascist thing could become the target of it later. There's no dawning of 'oh maybe the people doing this aren't so good' no, he's worried that the other people who have been warning that they are fascists might pursue them later with the fascist precedent they are putting in place.

  • As to the not texting you first thing: one possibly is she gets a lot of unwanted male attention from those who over-interpret her niceness as romantic interest, and she is really leery of encouraging anyone. She might be afraid you have such interest.
