Marvel and Starwars have been taking heat for pumping out boring and poorly written films for a while now. I think Pixar's stuff is still mostly decent, though. That being said, I also expect a completely different standard of work from Pixar since it's for kids first and foremost.

The true tossup is actually mercury or lead.

Both insanely useful metals with a massive variety of helpful traits.

And the universe made them poisonous to us as a big "FUCK YOU".

For those who don't know, Wendigoon is a creepy lore youtuber.

He's also sometimes been acredited with creating the aesthetic of the boogaloo boys, not sure how true that is.

As far as I've heard, his videos are fairly consistent with documentation of the events he covers, such as the unibomber, the MLK assassination, etc.

It's very funny to think he wasn't radicalized before the printer situation.

It's super bizarre seeing this girl grow up exclusively by photos of her being arrested.

California does have the tallests mountain in the contiguous US. It sure as fuck isn't Mount Shasta.

Mount Whitney stands 14.5k feet tall, and it's way more fucking badass in Appearance.

Many of Colorado's mountain summits also stand taller than Shasta, and are multitudes more majestic in appearance.

As for iconic, the Appalachian mountains may not be known by individual name, they are the boy band of mountains in terms of fame in the US. Mount Washington is also extremely iconic. I hadn't even heard of Shasta till this post. St. Helens is also extremely well-known.

For those wondering, Denali is the tallest mountain in the US, as well as the tallest mountain on land in the world.

EDIT: so for clarification - Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world, at close to 9k meters. When you measure it base-to-peak, however, Denali measures out at 5,486 meters, while Everest is only 5,200 meters.

Something notable is that though Denali is stated as the tallest mountain on land, it seems Rakaposhi in Pakistan has a base-to-peak measure of 6,000 meters. It also is the only mountain whose peak descends to base without interruption apparently.

EDIT 2:got my numbers mixed up, fixed some info.

People seem to be freaking out about vegan thing.

I am pretty sure the artist is referring to the owner literally going out and buying either wet food with meat chunks or some other meal with meat directly in it, as opposed to dry food with no meat bits.

"Like real pashmina, shahtoosh is also from the Himalayas—it was a choice wrap for the 16th-century Mughal emperor Akbar the Great—but instead of goat hair, shahtoosh is made from the underfur of the chiru, a species of antelope indigenous to the Tibetan Plateau in China. The problem is that these majestic animals must be killed before their wool can be removed. As a result, since 1975, the species has been classified as endangered."

So it's not coming from US tax payers, this is saying? It comes from Japanese taxpayers, German taxpayers, South Korean tax payers, etc. on top of US tax payers.

That really does not change the situation. It still is a massive amount of money out of US pockets, and the rest is out of US allies' citizen pockets. It also doesn't change the failing to pass audits. It also doesn't change their massive collection of known BS actions done in the past.

Hasn't evolutionary psychology been heavily debunked at this point?

I think it's much easier to say that dudes have it hammered into their heads that girls are bad at games, so when they underperform and a girl is on their team, they feel emasculated. This isn't too far off from when dudes end up losing their 'bread winner' status in their relationship. They were told they had explicit traits to exhibit and they failed to do so, so it hits them in their self esteem. Classic fragile masculinity.

Patriarchal conditioning makes way more sense than "caveman brain HATE competing with woman!".

As I understand it, reddit has shattered its trust with its userbase and has hemmoraged users because of it. I can hardly view that as a 'win' for them.
