French-Iranian author and illustrator Marjane Satrapi,Ā best known for the book and film āPersopolisā, has died of "sadness", members of her
This one hurt, her work had such a profound effect on my life, thoughts, and politics.
May her memory be a blessing
biomechanical engineer but they just frankenstein some bodies like computer parts
why? idk, homosexuality if you ask me
Context for this is a German learning app I've been using but I really love the picture it paints outside of that. 9,951 genders.
every time i want the 𤬠emoji i go into the search thing & start typing "fuck" & it takes me a solid second to remember they would not name it the Fuck Emoji
:fuck_emoji:
one day closer to total annihilation!
this is the first time in my life i thought oh i hope thereās music
oh well, I tried, but I should have stayed with cannibalism and rot-living
my overconfidence will be strong enough to kill everyone
something I explained to my brother yesterday that rocked his world: itās not that scientists canāt decide whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable, nor is it that itās āreallyā one or the other. Itās both, because weāre talking about two different categorization schemes.
Botanically, a tomato is a fruit. A fruit is scientifically defined as the part of a plant that develops from the ovary after flowering and surrounds the seeds. Itās defined by its structure and function. In botanical categorization, apples, peaches, grapes, tomatoes, bananas, avocados, pumpkins, peppers, and corn kernels are fruits.
Culinarily, a tomato is a vegetable, because itās a plant food that is neither starchy nor sweet and you usually donāt just eat it raw. Vegetables are culinarily defined by their flavor and how you cook them. In culinary categorization, any part of a plant can be a vegetable: roots (carrots, parsnips), leaves (lettuce, kale), stems (celery), seeds (peas, lima beans), and yes fruits (tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins). In culinary categorization, āfruitsā are usually botanical fruits, though occasionally they are other parts of the plant instead, as long as theyāre juicy and sweet (strawberries are actually the stems of a plant; the ovaries surrounding the seeds are the little seeds on the outside! Pineapples and figs are a weird flower-ovary fusion called multiple inflorescence!)
These are simply two different categorizational schemes that through the weirdness of historical linguistics use the same word āfruitā to mean different segments of the totality of plants. Neither is incorrect, because they are two different ways of categorizing plants for two different purposes.
Categories arenāt āreal.ā Categories donāt exist in nature. Things exist in nature, plants exist in nature, rocks and animals and genes and hormones and human experiences exist in nature. And humans look at the totality of everything and we come up with names and categories to sort and understand them. A category is not real; it is only useful or not useful. Botanical categories are useful for different reasons than culinary categories are, but theyāre both useful ways to break up and understand the world. And they are useful in their own contexts, and may not be useful in other contexts. Botany has no use for defining what is and isnāt a āvegetableā so thatās just not a category in scientific botany. Itās a useful category for low-sweetness low-starch plant parts you cook in order to eat, though.
And we put everything into categories, and we have reasons for categorizing things the way we doābut we choose what traits are important to group by, and what traits arenāt. Vegetables, nuts, fruits, and grains are culinary plant food categories. And some categories are silly, like āis a taco a sandwich?ā Thatās a categorization game: what traits do we decide make an individual item part of the category or not?
But we categorize other things too. Sex, gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, DSM diagnosis. Age categories such as senior/adult/teenager/child/toddler/infant, or age categories like adult/minor. These are all categorization schemes where humans decided what the categories are and what traits make an individual count as one thing or another. And then we decided how to treat people based on the category we assigned them to. The traits (such as hormones, genital shape, number of years having lived, brain neurochemistry, place where you were born, desire for a romantic relationship with people of a certain gender, desire for a sexual relationship with people of a certain genderā¦) are real. The categories are how we prioritize, classify, and understand them. Are the categories useful? Or are they not useful? In what contexts are they useful and in what contexts are they not? And what are the effects of playing āis a taco a sandwich? Is a tomato a fruit?ā type categorization games with people?

YEEAAAHHHH!!!!!

it's easy to dismiss when characters in movies warn about a thing "getting to know the taste of human flesh" (and subsequently becoming addicted to it) as unrealistically dumb, but once again, life is stranger than fiction
it's shocking the difference in the way people today vs in older eras talk, like it felt so contrived, like chains around your throat.
I'm talking about the haughty way of speaking, that weird accent you can find in old footage. Obviously I'm thinking of media that survived and therefore were probably of the higher caste of older societies, but, today, there really is more freedom in just being able to talk, like words can just exist however you want or need them to be.
However, and this is why I'm writing all of this, today YOU. STILL. CANNOT. YELL. PENIS!!
just saw a talk about cognitive biases, and they mentioned how easily you can be pressured into giving a wrong answer if you are surrounded by people intentionally giving out wrong answers.
So, this is my reminder to everyone, every single person on the internet is a liar or/and an idiot and they are not to be trusted, all ideas that do not agree with yours are to be dismissed immediately
