honestly no... i don't imagine slugs taste good. I don't even imagine snakes taste good, I've never eaten a reptile before. Jabba is a snake slug bloated full of space weed and covered in his own ejaculate. I don't know how I'd clean that up to make an appetising meal and I don't expect it to taste good anyway.

I hear good things about unicorns.... but i would never eat an endangered species.

Honestly I feel like they've done that reconstruction wrong, left too much buffer room where the chin is and above the skull.

I do know people with very long faces though.

Oh, so what does the operations side of power plant work require, if not a degree?

going through university rn and I wish I'd just done 3 years in the military out of school, then gone on to other things. Uni is incredibly lacking in structure, taking a long long time while also not keeping you very engaged with the material - I'm no longer interested in what i started studying, I'm even less interested in what I'm currently studying, doing odd jobs that don't need a degree seems far more cost effective and better for personal growth.

Just because they believe it's tasteless and disgusting doesn't mean they're going to attack people over it. It's fine. Probably most people don't support prostitution, because we see that most people do not engage with sex work in any way.

We need to drop the idea that people - in this case, sex workers - get harmed unless 100% of society is repeating some mantra - e.g "sex work is real work" - to demonstrate their allegiance to x oppressed group. Sometimes people just don't interact with that slice of society.

Ideally we shouldn't have it, to protect sex workers. I know people say "legalise it as much as possible and they'll be safe" but that's not really true - people are safest when they don't have to trade sex, and nobody should have to sell their body. Ever.

As i've gotten older it seems like less of a problem though. It should be targeted / cracked down on when it helps to rout out other types of organised crime, but I don't feel like the existence of prostitutes is causing people to cheat on their partners or anything - i think if someone is prone to doing that, they'll find a way. [open to hearing disagreements]

Also I feel like the way to get people to stop being prostitutes is to show compassion, like Jesus did, rather than punishing them.

Ear scratches.

And what lath said.

Griselda - "Dark Battle." Beautiful name. Maybe "grizzly" for short.

I love german names so much. Hildegard, Anya, Sonya...

Follow-up: I think people historically, and today, want numbers to take up not much space - historically so they fit in ledgers, but also because calculations take up so much space on paper so small numbers helps.

When people were doing bookkeeping they generally work slow and carefully, and can therefore afford to focus on legibility rather than resorting to cursive.

Cursive just opens up more potential for mistakes - misreading your own working, for instance.

Just tried it and it looks crap - I can't imagine how to write "321" clearly in cursive, for instance. I think that's why.

Roman numerals kind of work in cursive (sometimes i to x are written in lowercase, e,g in document indexes) so maybe it's all downstream of our numbers actually originating from arabic calligraphy?

Honestly, libraries can be. Big, you can visit whenever, they have weekly events and a community that you can get to know.

EDIT: But that's probably a profoundly obvious answer, sorry haha.
