I like this, but I wish it accepted scientific names. Common names are not a convenient way to play

Well, that’s disappointing.
I’m an immigrant (not in the UK), so I don’t know if people just don’t say the quiet part to me or if they really don’t know. What’s the problem with immigration(outside of racism)? Is it significantly different in the UK?
Obviously, at some point, there could be a problem. If everyone in the world wanted to live on the British isles, that wouldn’t work (sorry if the phrasing is weird, I was trying to avoid a cheap empire joke). But it’s nowhere close to that.
Your country has the low birth rate common for highly developed nations, so immigration is a positive, no?
I’m not trying to attack your auntie, but she specifically separated immigration from racism, so there’s probably another angle I just can’t see.
Nah, better to sacrifice a twenty year old to weinstein every year, cancel culture would make me have to think about my words before I say them
Nominative determinism gone wild (Holz means wood)
There’s a Pax Romana/olive branch joke in there somewhere
They’ll probably answer something like: around 20 deg/around 70 deg/room temperature/warm/etc
All of which are reductive, and the only non reductive answer would begin with our understanding of the concept of heat
Not eating pork or shellfish with food preservation techniques available 6,000 years ago is definitely backed by science
Do people expect 13-16 year-olds to be more resilient to bullying than younger kids? Are they?
I’d expect that to be the most vulnerable age, but I don’t know. 17-18, I can see, but only because they’re more likely to have more varied social circles, and may be able to find more accepting groups on their own (though that could be a dnd group or an alt-right group, so that’s not necessarily a good thing). Again, I don’t really know anything about childhood development though.
Edit: is it doxxing to say the name?
Harris spoke about the importance of equity in education policy, noting that not all students are offered the same opportunities to succeed, depending on financial resources and the environments they are raised in. She said “none of us just live in a silo” and “everything is in context,”
That does feel like she thinks it’s a burden. I’m honestly surprised, given her career pre vice presidency, but it seems like a reasonable take to me.
Holy fuck, Sardinia. Being dropped from a great height or beaten to death by people I held as babies while tripping sounds like one of the worst ways to go.
