My New Haircut

You’re free to take those off

I can’t tell you for sure which is quicker or more painless. I’m not a marine biologist and even if I were I don’t think I’d have the answer on another creature’s consciousness. Personally I think it’s really just cope and it’s splitting hairs at that point. You just need to face the fact that you’re killing and eating a living creature.

No it hasn’t been. Cockroaches, lobsters, and other arthropods have a decentralized nervous system. They have ganglia throughout their entire body instead of one centralized brain. These ganglia can react to stimuli independent of the other ones.

They don’t have a nervous system like vertebrates do. They can still feel pain if you slice them through the head because they have a network of ganglia throughout their body, not one centralized brain.

It doesn’t actually kill them, and it’s so small that you’re likely to miss it anyway.

None, because knowledge and the search for it is an end unto itself, so all facts are useful to learn and know.

I’d rather have holidays and birthdays fall on different days through the years.

We have boomers on lemmy now?

In this context “alive” means “still able to feel and process pain.”

You know, I’ve read that stabbing them through their head doesn’t really kill them because they have distributed ganglia instead of one centralized brain.

I’m sick of the word “spicy” referring to anything but food.

I’ve also seen people paint Biss as an “establishment Democrat” which is a term often used to mean “established politician whom the community trusts.”

Policy-wise, Kat and Biss and almost the same. Biss is a progressive Democrat, not some old neoliberal

Kat did pretty well but she has no trust from the community. She moved here less than 2 years ago. Daniel Biss, on the other hand, has been involved in local politics for a long time and has built up a lot of goodwill among his constituents.

If Kat runs here again in 4 years, I suspect she has a great chance of winning. But you can’t just roll in because an incumbent is retiring and expect a social media blitz will win you a seat at 26 years old.

Were the balls on the milk cartons really necessary?

Yes, people would mind.

It’s very TOS in its “judge jury and executioner” mentality, but seasons 1 and 2 were like that sometimes.
