Could not be further from the truth. I am simply here to spread the word of anime to the less fortunate. I think astrophysics and anime go hand in hand, like a sword and shield. Like man and woman, as G-d Himself intended for all of us when he went on that drunken bender 6000 years ago today. You don't think that fucker wasn't watching hentai? We're like his 2D, you ever think of that? Like, he's in something more than 3D, so we're like his 2D, like I just fucking said!! And he could still get it up and bust all kind of holy nuts up in them virgin guts on St. Patrick's Day way back when. That's like jerkin' it to Yoko Littner. Am I really so different, G-d!?! Why the fuck have you forsaken me? You know he didn't even pay child support for Jesus, not even once? Fuckin' piece of shit.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ಠ_ಠLegislated mandates in sentencing can create some awful tyrannies. I think we need a human dimension to sentencing because I believe that leads, overall, to more humane and constructive corrective value. As long as there is some oversight watching out for unreasonable abusers and a channel to deal with tha t, then I think we are better off in the long run. The law can't anticipate or solve every problem in advance and trying to design it to be that way would make it too unwieldy, burdensome, and in some cases potentially wildly inhumane. Three strikes laws are examples of such failure in the past.

The first one is the most obvious... Namely that humanity survived into the future without help the first time through... Perhaps just barely. Perhaps only after great loss and long eras of suffering. In this scenario there is no paradox. Why would the future survivors care to reach back in time and aid their struggling ancestors? These humans were apparently masters of time. Maybe from their perspectPeople seem to be overlooking the deviations from the biblical story as sort of random ignorance on the part of the filmakers. But I think these deviations are coherently intentional ... Scott's take on this film seems to have been to cast the plague miracles pretty much as if they were coincidental natural events. And Moses' conversations with God were hallucinatory episodes triggered by a head injury. These hard to believe events culminated in a rebellion by the Hebrews and provoked the one remarkable event that is hard to deny historically: namely, Ramses allowing the Hebrews to leave Egypt. Perhaps Ridley Scott is saying, in essence, "Eventually the story of the Exodus got turned into a miraculous mythology. But here, dear viewer, is a plausible rendering of how it all may have really happened."ive of being able to see through all of time, everyone to them is in the "present" (as was apparent in the tesseract construct).

It's not. They go in the opposite direction. DMC is about a kid moving to Toky who wanted to be an indie pop act, but for some unexplained reason wound up in a death metal band that he hates. And the comedy comes from him stumbling into situations that are way over his head. He's touted as a metal god who mostly lives up to the reputation by accident. It's sometimes really funny.

Your assertion that there is some sort of quality judgement about one music style over another (akin to racism as you imply above) is just not there.

... just in case, don't explain the 'iirc' further
I raise chickens, that's how I know :p
They run slightly hotter than us. Like their breath is a bit hot. I look up the exact temp when they get ill but I can't get it to stick in my head.
btw chickens are so fun. They're social animals so they're pretty smart, have complex dynamics between each other, and once they get used to you are really interactive. They're kinda like cows on many aspects.
Yes, I actually know that, and how hard it is to spot health concerns with them.
I wish I could one day have chickens.
Chickens are cool, they have super interesting chicken politics, are basically somehow intrinsically funny most of the time, and they provide free butt nuggets as an extra bonus.
Huh, first time I've heard the cow & chicken (great cn show too) reference in the wild - I also have that exact association, initially bcs of how they can decide to socially bully someone for some teenage reason (so even without physical abuse they just stop taking to or don't look at someone & don't let them in the circle, those little fucks).
Yeah, often it's too late when we notice. Prey instincts and all..
We had an adorable black tipped hen that got bit (probably by a fox, it was the season). I noticed that she was acting a bit sluggish. The wound had gotten infected and about half her abdomen had rotten. I put her out of her misery.
Chickens are a bit worse than cows regarding bullying. They peck at each other, especially if there's already a wound. It can get serious enough that you have to separate the affected chicken and reintroduce them slowly with the others.
Pets are great, but at the cost of bittersweet sadness.
Also chicken segregation until they manage to get a treaty (if they ever do) is also funny.
Yeah, it never gets easier.
For me the hardest moment is when they get really sick and I have to weight their odds of survival against their present pain.
I've never had chickens that couldn't be reintroduced together yet. I know it happens though.
My trick is to put a fence in their enclosure so they can't actively try to kill the wounded one but still interact. Because if you keep them apart for too long they might end up deciding that they don't know each other anymore and not accept the hen back. Plus if the separated one feels too lonely it might end up refusing to eat and letting itself die on the spot.
As a fun side fact, we always picture a coop as a rooster managing his hens but it's not really the case. While the rooster has some power in the group, it is usually shared with the oldest/biggest hen.
Yes, segregation by chicken wire fence!
And the shifting of power between chickens of same age/breed (and sex, if you manage to get all chicks) is interesting.
I would also experiment how different fashion/look accessories affect the politics - like t-rex arms, or little vests, fancy collars, etc.
Yeah, prob easier with cows or even street dogs, but still - will the red ribbon one be a feared outcast, the next leader, or just pecked?
We've only got 1 rooster atm so I can't really say about their dynamics. I'll soon know more because we kept a cockerel. He's just getting his comb.
Our old rooster was a tyrant. He was huge and had mean ergots. We often had to bash him pretty hard on the head for him to stop attacking us whenever we got out in the garden. He was delicious though.
Our current one is way smaller, less territorial, and tbh quite scaredy. He mostly follows his favourite hen around.
We've got a few different breeds. Each time we got them by pairs so they would have someone they already knew when we introduced them to each others. They're all on the bigger end so no specific size disparities.
They mostly get along really well. They tend to stick with their sibling more than with the others. Up to a point than some got really depressed when the other died. They'll still eat the corpse if it looks ok though. ^^`
They also seem to have more similar characters in given breed. Faverolles are the most curious. Brahmas are more fearful (and they run like humans wearing big old timey skirts, it's so cute). But there might be some differences cause by them growing in different places, etc. I'll know more when the little ones grow up. They way more cuddly and approachable since we've known them from birth.
The rooster's favourite hen is not necessarily the top hen. He's the only one to treat her differently. He specifically shows her the best food and follows her a lot. Sometimes he even shoos away the other hens when he gives her something tasty. He also mates more with her which is an issue in late spring when his hormones get a bit out of whack.
There's currently a bit of a power vacuum amongst the hens because our oldest hen died recently and she was the boss (old age and leg arthritis).
I found out that hen relationships are way less patriarchal than I thought at first. Everyone usually follows the lead hen. Sometimes hens will even get noticeably annoyed by a rooster and peck him away.
The chicks usually follow the more motherly hens but everyone tends at least a bit to them. Because yes, some hens will cover eggs and take care of the youngs while others not so much.
I like that last idea and will do some experiments. I've already noticed that they could recognize their reflections and use it to clean themselves. They're so smart.
Chickens are so cool, thank you very much for entertaining me with this, I found it all very interesting - and might even be a bit closer to getting some birbs.
And yeah, chickens will eat anything if it looks/might potentially be appetising.
I wasn't actually under the impression they were patriarchal at all ... if anything I though that they don't need that much solid/stable gov stricture (coop level I mean, not bonded pairs) that it's just fluid.
I also didn't know about their romantic love being that exclusive. How sweet.
What birbs would you be getting?
I'm French and in the zeitgeist the rooster is more important than he actually is. With it being the national animal and shit.
Yeah their organisation is kinda fluid but there are still some power struggles. And it can get ugly really fast.
For example, if a chicken gets wounded, sometimes the others will peck at the wound. In less than a day it can go from a small sore caused by a pin feather to an open wound requiring urgent care and deploying the chicken wire Berlin Wall.
It doesn't help that the sneaky little buggers will hide when they're sick or injured. Both because they're prey animals and because they're little asshole dinosaurs. Before I got more used to it, they were half dead when I noticed something was off. It still happens from time to time but less often. They'll even "pretend eating" by pecking at the ground to fool you and the others when something causes too much discomfort.
You have to feel their crops by hand to be absolutely sure that they're not casually dying of hunger when sick.
Because people don't learn things except from personal experience?
Maybe they're worried the chicken was used as a dick coozy.
Nooooo! I would never do that.
They're like pets to me. Pets that produce eggs and that you can eat if they die in ok shape.
I love chickens. They're so cute, curious, and each with their own little temper.
That's good to hear. I like knowing that animals are being treated well.
I do my best and constantly learn new stuff about them.
We hatched some chicks recently and they're so cuddly. They're still scaredy prey birds but they're way more trusting than their parents. We can easily pick them up and check them around and they won't bat an eye.
The ones we got as young adults will climb on our knees if they want and will accept being petted on occasion (especially under and around the beak). But they'll still recoil a bit when we reach for them. They quickly relax once you hold them.
They're also way smarter than we usually give them credit for. They're not parrot smart but they're still birds. They recognize their own reflection, have complex social dynamics, roughly understand some vocal cues, and will solve some simple problems if there's some kind of incentive. We haven't even trained them at doing anything, they learn by themselves quite quickly.
For example, we had locked a sick hen in a coop with some towels and a bit of heating. They must've fumbled with the latch until they managed to open it because we found them all cozied up in the now open coop. It even happened twice until we added a spring to the latch so thy physically couldn't open it.
That actually sounds really fun. My dad kept chickens, and I swear every single one was an ahole to me - but he also made no effort to socialize them with human contact...so...yeah, I guess that explains a lot in retrospect.
I go feed them twice daily with kitchen scraps complemented with grain. In summer they get some sprinkling if it gets too hot.
Then I go play with them a few times a week when the weather is clement enough.
Since I'm their food human they follow me quite a lot which sometimes is not that good of an idea when I'm busy with the beehive (soon to be beehives) or when the forge is running.
