How do we have all of these complete reversals in literacy and education over this span, but poverty remains a mess?

The “not in poverty” ratio has not even exceeded the “not in extreme poverty” numbers from the beginning. Really the only thing that has happened is that “extreme poverty” diminished in favor of just plain old “poverty”, but the “not in poverty” numbers have not really kept pace.

And then the next year it’ll just uncurl a bit and turn to show us its ass.

I have to call bullshit on this whole thing, no way one guy can hold two records for the world’s oldest and second oldest cats, even if there was a specific lifestyle.

Reads to me like the Mediterranean diet myth, where all these unusually long-lived pensioners in southern Europe turned out to just be relatives covering up the person’s death to continue collecting money.

Just seems like an attention grab to me. People will try to be famous for anything.

Jisho.org is a fairly helpful site for finding words like that. Sometimes you have to scroll a bit to find the “loanword” version of a term, but it helps with showing different nuances of translated words when looking them up.

Unfortunately I think it’s EN-JP only, but helpful if you know the English word you want.

Mostly I didn’t like the first season because it felt like a weird retread of the premise of Mass Effect. Never bothered watching anything beyond that.

Trying too hard to be gritty and serious, when the somewhat campier aspects of TNG are what originally sold me on that series.

TNG had its share of serious and deep plots, but the less serious, self-aware episodes are what give it character.

Just say “…, n” after a few numbers, done.

If you disinfect and cover, there should be no bacteria.

Dress the wound, change dressing routinely, reapply antiseptic when doing so.

…What?

The year ending in December predates Jesus.

I’m still not convinced the depiction of the seal means anything, but definitely that the motto of the US is where the title comes from.

E Pluribus Unum, “out of many, one”, which the show applies literally with the multitudes of humanity becoming one hivemind.

The guy who told a joke to a dead body as though they could hear it.

Alternatively, the guy who laughs at his own joke as he’s telling it.

The less colorful tufted titmouse common around here is actually my favorite variety. But honestly I just love birds.

Honestly one of my favorite birds, though. They’re just adorable.

Vigilante justice!

You’re right, they just exchange it in circles to make themselves even richer.

I’m not a linguistics expert and this is just me offering an unsolicited layman’s opinion, but perhaps the nuance comes from whether or not one might still conceive of the words being related despite the acknowledged difference in definition?

For example, “bat” (the animal) and “bat” (the implement) are homonyms that are used to describe two clearly different things. But maybe one might think of “scale” being connected between its various uses when it is not. “Scale” (the measuring tool) uses plates which are similar to the flat plates of fish scales. Or that to “scale” a distance is like measuring a “scale” of height. Something like that.
