Be like Odysseus: Use a fake name when dealing with a stranger
Don't be like Odysseus 5 minutes later: doxing himself to the same stranger that he literally just blinded

I just found out there is a crab that looks like a pancake and now the world seems brighter.
I'm actually gonna cry over these crabs.....
In case anyone was curious what they looked like!
Thought these were completely made up but apparently they're probably juvenile Atergatis integerrimus crabs or a related species. Also most members of Atergatis are toxic because of symbiotic bacteria that produce a tetrodotoxin-like poison. Tetrodotoxin is the reason that improperly prepared pufferfish will kill you. These are deadly pancakes.
prev I say this with love, this counts as bragging
the thing is that whenever someone says "pluto IS a planet" you don't know if they're actually a space fan who is prepared to love and cherish all the other bodies that would become planets if pluto was promoted again or the dumbest motherfucker on earth who thinks science should have stopped when they left 3rd grade
i have no argument as to why pluto should be a planet other than “it’s probably really sad that it isn’t a planet anymore” and i’ll stand by it god damn it
but pluto loves his new friends
My astronomy professor pointed out that Pluto went from being just another planet to being the model specimen and best known example of a whole new class of objects, and argued that that's a promotion not a demotion.
To me, Pluto is a planet for grammar reasons.
"Planet" is a noun, and "dwarf" is an adjective describing it. ("What kind of planet?" "A dwarf planet!") All dwarf planets are planets, but not all planets are dwarf planets.
Pluto is grammatically a planet.
Sadly the IAU, when defining the words "planet" and "dwarf planet", explicitly excluded that interpretation. Dwarf planets are not at all planets, according to the IAU. Having dwarf planets be a subcategory of planet was a proposed idea, and it was rejected.
I'm sorry, the IAU is trying to take on the entire adjective-noun relationship in the English language? In any language? Hold on, I must make popcorn for this epic fail.
Ask any schoolchild around the world about adjectives and offer planets and dwarf planets as examples, and they'll know what to do.
Pluto is a planet. The IAU cannot win against language itself. How amusing to even try.

Ah yes, let me show you my normal person pets: a houseplant, a cat, a dog and a horse
musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction

The thing with statistics - via
Numbers don’t lie but people can sure as fuck pick and choose the numbers they give you and phrase things to make them sound like they mean things they don’t
learn fucking stats or at least how they can hurt
As a wise man once said: There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
every time…
