The pig gives no indication that it consumes pork. Besides, I was wrong. Yes, the pig seems to have no issues eating pig. Which does appear to be in keeping with actual pigs. If you gave pork to hungry pigs, do you think they’d refuse to eat it? Would cows refuse to eat hamburger? Probably not.
All I’m getting from this is that there’s some supermaterial of which a single thread can hold the (ostensibly) average weight of an adult human for weeks on end without snapping and we aren’t doing fuckall to put this alien tech to good use.
I can tell you why the night shift employees at Kohl’s are mad at each other: salmon. Gone VERY, VERY FUCKING WRONG.
They didn’t choose the gooner’s life, friend, the gooner’s life chose them.
It’s how “Hide the pain Harold” becomes “Having awesome times Harold”.
That’s a bonafide Boltzmann brain.

The whole article is a good read, but the last paragraph summarizes the topic fairly well:
Many of the moral values we were raised with, about sex, race or gender, are no longer fully applicable to the modern world. Because of religious opposition to sexual education, many people struggling with masturbation don’t understand what is normal, or that their sexual interests are healthy. Helping people to consciously examine and consider their religious beliefs about sex, masturbation, and porn with modern, adult, self-determining eyes, may help them reduce the pain and suffering caused by this moral conflict.
From my own perspective as an American born into charismatic Christianity, my specific upbringing regarding sex was surprisingly more anomalously open than what I saw with others around me. That said, everywhere I went within the region and those tangential to it, the foundation for sexual repression was nearly universal: intercourse for reproduction, pleasure bad.
Excluding occasionally open-minded outliers, it was as one would likely naturally suspect with religious control: (most) people who are raised to believe that
they need some man reading from a book to tell them what to believe, and
the man reading from a book is the moral authority because he says he is and everyone else agrees that he is
will naturally usually assume that, since millions of other are doing the same, and all those millions of others are reinforcing everything being ingrained, only the morally degenerate would disagree.
None of this does anything useful to address the the innate sexual drive most (but not all) humans experience, and instead only demonizes it, rather than nurturing it and promoting a healthy understanding of it.
Normalizing sexual and emotional health is completely anathema to the standard puritanical religious experience, so there’s little to no emotional regulation being taught to those made to believe as they’re indoctrinated: intercourse for procreation, anything else is lustful and sinful.
(As always, all cases have outliers and exceptions, geographic regions will have their own cultural differences, and within this topic I am one myself. I speak to the generalized nature of religion and its effects on sexual education and emotion regulation. YMMV.)

Wait, your first instinct wasn’t to pull out the butcher’s knife you keep behind your back at all times and disembowel him to get to the stomach? Weird, but whatever. Guess you like doing things the long way.
Gotta make sure the tech inside is as we know it should be. Can’t have them sneaking in some District 9 alien shit. The prawns’ll do anything for the dog food. Anything.
What would the order (in the language of the day) have been, something as simple as “archers” or “archers, release”? “Release arrows?”
“Archers make ready” meaning they place the arrow in the bow but do draw, and possibly aim, might make sense.

Ah, okay. There it is. (tap)
Does Japan still censor their pornography? I heard that was a thing, wondered if they still do.
As for the Americans, it’s my understanding that the conservatives like to publicly pretend they’re chaste and pure because religious sexual repression, yet harbor the largest number of pedophiles and other affiliated degenerates, while the progressives aren’t nearly as backward and see sexual expression as natural.
For roughly one half of the population, they’re unfortunately internationally defined by the shittier other half that gets nearly all of the (very well deserved) infamy.
Should be interesting to see who remembers this campaign and who’s perplexed by it. Meanwhile, the NCMEC grows nostalgic.
Um hi please don’t invalidate my courage and bravery by allowing them portray me and to tell my story to help others carrying the same burden I did thank you.
You’re right. Edited.
