So currently on Neopets:

If you do up to 100,000 cumulative damage to Vocivus (the current plot boss) you get several very good awards

Vocivus started with 850 mil HP, but players almost killed it within 12 hours so TNT boosted it to 3 billion

For players with untrained pets, grinding up to 100K points can take hours, so it's best if it doesn't die too fast

Elite battlers really like Vocivus as it provides a genuine challenge on account of having randomized element immunity and healing from light attacks

Therefore, people on the Neoboards have been "feeding" it light attacks to make sure it doesn't die too fast and have been petitioning it to stay as the "pet" of the Battledome Chat

Some users have also started a psudo-cult worshiping it so now the boards look like this

As of three days after its release it still hasn't been defeated because of this

mind you in the lore this thing will lay waste to all of neopia and erase all life if we don't defeat it

Sorry as someone who teaches rhetoric this is a wonderful response to the Paradox of Tolerance. I cannot tell you how many times my students have had debates about this. This is the response. This does indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell this to my classes now. Philosophically and rhetorically this completely resolved the Paradox of Tolerance and I am floored by its simplicity and angry I never saw it before.

The title of this essay should disturb you. We have been brought up to believe that tolerating other people is one of the things you do if…

Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty. Tolerance is a social norm because it allows different people to live side-by-side without being at each other’s throats. It means that we accept that people may be different from us, in their customs, in their behavior, in their dress, in their sex lives, and that if this doesn’t directly affect our lives, it is none of our business. But the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. It is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact

To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

Mate, you’ve got a chubby lizard on your dashboard

Graced by Geckolepis typica from Madagascar. I love that they’re quite round creatures and then they have these dainty little toes. Also, their scales are full bone and both scale and skin come off when they get grabbed, which is…unpleasant. Consequently, catching these geckos for research without damaging them requires special techniques. 19th century researchers used bundles of cotton wool, but I imagine this wasn’t very effective, because cotton still has a lot of friction and the friction would pull the skin and scales off. In my (quite extensive) experience, the best technique is to carefully and quickly flick the geckos from their tree trunk or branch into an open dry plastic bag using a finger or stick.
