Dogs and cats can definitely perceive spiciness from capsaicin. Are you maybe thinking about birds? They cannot.

If I had to guess, she’s curious to see how big of a hole he’s going to dig himself into.
You’re right. It’s a very similar painting from the same artist. I’ve updated my comment. Thanks!

Fucking James Gunn filled the new Superman with so much woke crap it broke the space-time continuum!
I’d love to hear what I’ve specifically said that’s bullshit.
This is clearly a sensitive topic for you, so believe me when I say that I’m only talking about myself here. Yes, humans have included meat in their diets for thousands of years, but the recent changes that I feel shift the paradigm are: the scope and scale of industrial farming, the brutal conditions animals now face, and the fact that we have a good enough concept of human dietary requirements that people can finally make the choice to remove animal products from their diets in a healthy way.
I got a different impression from Scrubs. To me it was a show mostly about doctors, and whenever it did talk about the healthcare industry, it was largely critical. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I remember they would frequently criticize the bullshit and red tape in the healthcare industry. I think there’s even an episode in the first season where they commit insurance fraud to save a poor patient.

The in-universe explanation is that faceless pawns are better foot soldiers for the empire because it’s less likely said empire will relate to them as actual people.

chetradley@lemmy.worldto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Gavin Newsom breaks with Democrats on trans athletes in sports | The Democratic California governor made the stunning remarks in his debut podcast with conservative guest Charlie Kirk.42·5 months agoThere’s an interesting and nuanced conversation to be had about fairness in sports. Many athletic associations have guidelines in place that allow trans athletes to compete in a way that is as fair as possible to them and other competitors. Are they all perfect? Probably not, but having this conversation in the first place is the best way to ensure these associations can make competition as fair as possible to trans and cis athletes alike.
But of course this conversation will never take place, because the goal was never to make women’s sports more fair. It’s always been about trans erasure.
