In pedestrian-friendly cities, children usually just walk to school. They’re called 15 minute cities because because you can get anywhere you need, including schools, in 15 minutes.

Also, because there’s fewer roads to maintain, and the majority of people walk, the streets actually get plowed and handicapped folks often have an easier time getting around than in car-centric cities.

You’re kinda provin’ the point. I don’t go into GTA and think “yeah i’d live here”.

They do also romanicize cities a bit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a traffick jam in GTA, for example.

Okay, yes, true, but they also constructed the entire N’avi language, created a fuckton of lore about the planet, and thoroughly fleshed out the lore and design of Earth and its voyage to and from Pandora.

This wasn’t a visual feast made for the viewer, this was a feast made to employ all these skilled artisans in a massive production, and EVERYONE except the writers fucking blew it out of the water.

It’s not really about fault at this point, it’s about solving the issue and bringing the ecosystem back into equilibrium. Like any pest, it’s natural to put ire towards the group of organisms actively causing something to deteriorate, and thus sympathy goes away. This makes eliminating them much much easier for locals.

Or until you’re explained just how much damage they’re doing to forest ecosystems by overbreeding and destroying native plant life. They’re becoming a locust-level issue.

You’re aware no child left behind was literally that, and it’s a big reason for schools declining as they are right now, right? Because the standards it set were poorly thought out, and the execution of said standards was also terrible. And that was when the US government was still even mildly coherent.

The educators - the people who actually gave enough of a fuck to go through years of college and take a dirt poor job because they believed in teaching - should be setting the curriculum. Not some bullshitting politician on the hill.

Sounds like the knife fell out of the rack onto the heating element.

Personally, I don’t even put my knives in the dishwasher. Too much chance for them to be damaged or damage something else.

Edit: I guess redditors have never seen a fucking ceramic knife before? Or am I missing something here?

Could also just be a painted blade knife, which are also common.

Crocs are also good for wearing for 14 -18 hour shifts too, though, right?

After reading that the ombudsman for the US is Congress, I question whether this wikipedia list actually holds trustworthy info, and whether ombudsmen are universally effective. Congress do not strike me as effective resolvers of anything.

100% this plane’s crashing.

I dunno, I don’t think women want this as much nowadays. Alot of women I know do seem to be into k-pop dudes, though. The slender, aerodynamic, and chic vibe seems pretty in.

Those humans are quite large.

Did you read anything about kuru beforehand? It’s contracted by ritual eating in general rites. They also have no means of diagnosing prion infection in a corpse, which is why people would eat brain tissue with prions. It didn’t spontaneously form in those victims, it was in the corpse. Overall, it could be avoided by just not eating infected meat, hence why Papua New Guinea did not collapse from kuru - it was rare to get it, and once the mode of transmission was known, it was much easier to avoid.

Chronic wasting disease was first observed in deer in the 1960s, and there is nothing actually confirming it’s exact origin. it was first noted in deer herds being researched in Colorado, and as far as I am reading, it did not jump from sheep to deer.

We do actually regulate mad cow disease, going as far as culling entire herds of livestock and disposing of the meat. Outbreaks happen, yes, but we are keeping that spread down. This is also in meat that we sell at an insane scale, one which would not be replicatable with human meat without slavery.

With human donated meat, it’s very unlikely you would get prions. Again, you are way more likely to get it from cow meat and deer meat.

Said this on another comment: eating human meat does not increase your chance of prions. If you eat another human with prions disease, then you get it. But if you don’t eat prion-infected meat, you don’t get prions.

We eat deer, which also get prions. We also eat cow, which also get prions (mad cow disease, which also infects humans). We avoid getting prions with regulation of those markets. We could do exactly the same in this scenario.

Just sign up to be a meat donor like you sign up to be an organ donor. if you were healthy enough to have your organs harvested at death, you were healthy enough to eat (probably idk).

They spread everywhere, and cause progressively worse neurological issues as they spread through the brain.

Ultra-rare, and not spontaneously caused by eating human flesh. You’re more likely to get mad cow disease (also prions) from eating beef.

I mean, beyond just being a marker denoting the end of a work, it seems like it was the scribe’s own little flair - like a visual signature.

I guess it being generified in Unicode is the only real tradeoff you could make.

I think ‘snack’ cakes
