I will not stand idly by for this good natured robbing of my man Geordi! Harrumph! Harrumph, I say! 😾

Actual footage of the Reddit Bureau of Investigation helping me find my "long lost sister".

Thanks, yeah that is an interesting point. I suppose any sort of experimentation becomes a bit more ethically dicey when the scientist can't have informed consent from the subject.

This is Tina Fey, most popular for her time on SNL and as Liz Lemon on 30 Rock. I'm lost beyond that though.

Conservatives are passionate about "free speech" because "free speech" is much more politically viable than "calling people slurs".

Thank you for your service.

The treatments were black-and-white painted stripes, black painted stripes, and no stripes (all-black body surface). Recorded fly-repelling behaviors were head throw, ear beat, leg stamp, skin twitch, and tail flick. Photo images of the right side of each cow were taken using a commercial digital camera after every observation and biting flies on the body and each leg were counted from the photo images. Here we show that the numbers of biting flies on Japanese Black cows painted with black-and-white stripes were significantly lower than those on non-painted cows and cows painted only with black stripes

Black paint was not as effective as black and white paint.

I think most vegans agree that factory farming is abusive. I would be interested to hear a case that the paint itself is abusive.

The study says that zebra markings repels flies.

Churches generally have the same divide as the people who attend them: Urban ones are sane. Rural ones are conservative freaks. And I'm fairly certain this was a Black church. 90% of Black people are Democrats.

It's wild how they just build lying into their platform. Conservatives finally figured out how unpopular their opinions are, so they just decided that they should just tell people they believe differently than they do.

I'm also curious why he isn't being treated as a POW. This seems like a violation of the Geneva convention, but there's too little information here.
