Good example of how breeding dogs for aesthetic seriously messes them up that pug one makes me wince.
That rottie looks fine to me, but I’ve definitely seen a trend in rotts getting more extreme recently.
Daaaamn the open sutures in the chihuahua, is that from an adult animal?!
If people purposely did this to their kids, we’d call it abuse…I know, I know, not being able to properly breath is sooooo cute, though.
Philosophy, though unable to tell us with certainty what is the true answer to the doubts which it raises, is able to suggest many possibilities which enlarge our thoughts and free them from the tyranny of custom. Thus, while diminishing our feeling of certainty as to what things are, it greatly increases our knowledge as to what they may be; it removes the somewhat arrogant dogmatism of those who have never travelled into the region of liberating doubt, and it keeps alive our sense of wonder by showing familiar things in an unfamiliar aspect.
Bertrand Russell, The Problems of Philosophy (via scientificphilosopher)
I go through pain alone. I overcome it alone
“If we do not know what knowledge is, we cannot possibly answer the question whether there is knowledge, but if I do not already know whether there is knowledge, I cannot reasonably put the question ‘what is knowledge?’.”
—F. Nietzsche, The Will to Power, §530 (edited excerpt).

I find that hard to reconcile with how 18th century dresses had boobs practically hanging out of them. Maybe the chest wasn’t as sexualized as the ankles were back then…
I have a dim memory from back in high school… I think someone once told me that breasts were no big deal back in corsetry-and-necklines-down-to-there days, they were considered a food source for children and that’s it.
But ANKLES. Oh, GOD. ANKLES. The ANKLE was connected to the LEG, which connected to THIGHS, which hid a woman’s SECRET FLOWER. The ankle was the gateway to the secret flower, so it was considered quite a stirring sight!
I have never considered that “leg bone connected to the ankle bone” song as a sexy tune before but
What He Says: I'm a nihilist.
What He Means: I'm really boring and don't have any strong or educated opinions on things but I want to be a smug asshole anyway.

the drum is filled with hot steam and then sprayed with cold water. the pressure on the outside of the drum is far more than inside. the pressures try to maintain and find balance taking the drum as a casualty.
“Oh FUCK that’s cold!”

My Chemistry teacher did this the first day of class with a coke can, a hotplate, and a basin of water. I have never forgotten the scientific principles behind it, and here’s why.
There were 20-something of us in the classroom, all dying of sleep deprivation since it was the first day back to school, first class of the day. Mr. Moses was that teacher you weren’t sure how to deal with. I mean, the man’s name was Noah Eugene Moses, for starters. He drove a Harley to school, but also drove the bus. He had giant cokebottle glasses and a doofy mustache with shaggy ex-Beatles hair. He always wore suspenders and a grease-stained t-shirt because he had a potbelly and taught the shop/electrical classes. He wasn’t even really lecturing; he was throwing in tidbits of the syllabus in the midst of bad jokes and fun stories. We were all a bit nervous, because none of us had taken a class from him before, but his tests were legendary—nobody had ever made it out with an A (until I did, but that’s another story for another time and involves a really awesome bet and some hair cutting scissors).
Well, as we were fighting to stay awake, and attempting to take notes of whatever he was talking about, he was pacing around the room from here to there, straightening things and moving stuff. He was very scatterbrained, and it was easy to tell from how he kept forgetting where he put his coke. Turns out, that was just a ruse. He had the can filled with just a tiny bit of water, and the things he was moving around were stacks of papers and books hiding the hot plate and water basin. So he set his coke can down onto the hot plate, continued talking loudly enough so we wouldn’t hear the water boiling, and then knocked it over really fast into the water basin.
BANG!!!!!!!!
Three girls fell out of their seats, one dude swore so violently I’m pretty sure the devil himself cringed, everyone at least jumped and screamed, and I actually broke my pen in half.
See, with rapid decompression comes a vacuum, and with a vacuum comes a rushing of air that creates a massive sound. Think “thunder”. That’s the same principle behind it. His little tiny coke can of steam into a bucket of ice water, and we had a bang so loud the band teacher came in from across the hall to see “what was exploding today.” To which Mr. Moses responded, “Nothing, it imploded. Explosions are chapter 3.”
And that’s when I knew it was going to be the best class ever.

Our concept of taboo doesn’t contain any assessment on the reason behind that taboo. They can be baseless “do because we do” kind of things as well as things we do to legitimately consider people. This indiscrimination is not helpful to how we should behave toward it. Wether I oppose taboo in general depends on my overall assessment of what taboo is. I might neglect valid taboo because of correlation with concepts strictly due to usage of a word in language. As we know, language and knowledge are interconnected. I/we must try to not have language difficulties interfere with reason, but that is a difficult task.
We percieve stereotypes as unfriendly. Why is that? That people don't necessarily fit stereotypes is clear. I can definitely humor them. The ones I cant are misunderstandings and false confidence, that doesn't invalidate all. The reason we dislike stereotypes seems to be because of unfair generalisations, which itself is an unfair generalisation.
“Mmmuah!” [note: turn on sound]
