I haven't heard anyone say "Something Rocks" in a very long time. Would you mind giving me a roundabout age and rough geographical ara for yourself (not for the kicking in of doors at 3am dissenter roundup squad, no, just to know where there is a guy who still says "rocks" )

I quite literally remember having teachers in elementary school teaching about the holocaust/hitler and asking the class if if they could foresee this happening in the US. Every kid shoot their head and chuckled assuredly, how absurd to even consider.

I still remember the look on Mrs. Begasto's face of "oh yeah? so confident, I know something you don't, I know the world in a way you are entirely naive to." I didn't understand why she felt that way, but I could tell she was certain about something I didn't get. The closer we edge to a fearful, uneducated public thinking a bully king is what would be good for the country and the world the more I find myself thinking about Mrs. Begasto's worried smirk.

Im moreso talking about news headlines. Leaving the EU was an incredibly serious situation and the news media made a cutsie pun nickname for it and said it on TV with a straight face.

Just as a side point, saying "someone else also does it!" doesn't further anyone's understanding of anything in my opinion.

I live in Ireland- the UK press, and to an extent, possibly as an effect, the general public, use these infantilized, gross ass cutsie words to describe things. Footie (football). Chockie (chocolate). It makes me nauseated.

I live in Dublin (NOT UK but there are many similarities) and this drives me fucking crazy. We have teensy-weensy little roads all through the city. they have made it so there's parking on both sides of these little roads, and they are two-way streets. This is just possible for two smaller cars, like a civic or a yaris to squeeze by one another.

enter the one person in a range rover or BMW suv and everybody's gotta fucking wait for these hulking ICE powered shit boxes to clear the road.

Forget parking at shopping centres with them around as well. They will stick out in the front or back, which takes up two spots, of course. Full sized American pick up trucks have started to show up, also, not a blemish in the flatbed.

The road taxes are based on weight, so they do pay significantly more than I will with my 1.4l engine, but not enough for them to not care that they cant see things that are in front of them, that they'd kill every occupant of a normal sized care they hit (its a big part of why they report to like owning them, for "safety" read: killing a family of 4 in a corolla with my truck that I use to drive to work alone)

I do not like it!

yeah well being from pennsylvania I would have no trouble believing it. philly is philly, and pittsburgh was barely democratic leaning, but drive 40 minutes in ANY direction and you might as well be in kentucky.

Once, up in clinton township, I was standing in a doorway of my uncle's house and his neighbor said "are you white?" and i said "yeah" and he demanded I come out into the light so he could see me. I was about 11 years old. I was terrified.

don't ever try to stop people from practicing out-group homogeniety (or in this case in-group homogeniety)

The article doesn't explain how these glycans get dissolved and also if they're from host cells, don't the healthy cells need the glycans?

How would the mechanism that does the enzymatic digestion only target the glycans on viruses and not in healthy cells I wonder?
