Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It and its sequel Children of Ruin both explore what it means to be a person and makes you feel empathy for “the other”, beings that get more and more alien as the story moves on. Compared to most of what others mention here it is rather new. But it will become a cult classic, I am certain of that.
Being the small spoon. Sometimes a man just needs to be cuddled and I am glad my girlfriend understands that.
Wait until you find out about the Siberian Flying Squirrel which is even smaller than the Japanese one.
Could you not make me feel miserable out of nowhere? I am a mostly decent person?
To quote my DM when I’m about to cause a near TPK: „You can certainly try.“
Getting tortured to death by three vodka addicts while propagating for the wrong side of history. Unsightly way to go.
Oh no. The poor repost bots 😔
[…] amid the ongoing national debate over what it would take to stem the gun violence plaguing the nation.
That actually makes sense. Thanks!
What is the point of the Queen then?
If I would be a complete psychopath, who wants nothing more than hurting and killing people, AND get away with it, I would join the police.
And looking at the frequency of how often shit like this happens, I’m probably not the first one with this idea.
Never heard anyone getting payed for donating anything in Germany. You can get an compensation for expenses, yes. But this is not supposed to be a payment for your donation, it is supposed to compensate for your expenses. For example: Finding a babysitter or paying for bus, train, gas. Sometimes you have to make a medical examination beforehand, which also can take some time.
The German Red Cross for example explicitly doesn’t pay the donors so nobody gets the wrong idea and tries to donate as much and often at the cost of their own health.
I think the idea that a compensation is equal to a payment is flawed beyond reason. If someone has a problem with any organisation misusing donations for profit, they should (rightfully) engage in changing the law. Categorically not donating at all is…well it’s just selfish and stupid.
At the same time, Medvedev said “a nuclear conflict is really not needed by anyone,” adding that: “It is obvious that a nuclear response is an extremely difficult decision with irreversible consequences.”
Ha! Hahahahahaha! Get fucked! The only reason you say that is because the US already told you that any kind of nuclear attack would result in a good old round of “fuck around and find out”!
Must feel bad to be emasculated that hard.
How the turn tables!
You have to differentiate. Calling your friends stuff is one thing, doing so to others is something different. It still is a slur, no matter what it has been years ago, and it will hurt somebody.
But yeah, we use it too from time to time. I am autistic myself and so are most of my friends. But my preferences or my condition doesn’t give me some special right to act like a jackass to others.
I mean, at the very least we can try.
I hate you for this comment.
I first read “fediverse coup” and got exited. My answer is a disappointed no.
