IDF should stop claiming civilian infrastructure is hiding Hamas terrorists.

And instead use it's intelligence to locate them.

I know what the meme is supposed to represent, but the Tolkien nerd in me feels the need to correct the universal misunderstanding of the picture used.

Frodo isn't saying he can't read the inscription on the One Ring because it's in Elvish. He actually is pretty fluent in Elvish in the novel, but the inscription on the Ring was in the Black Speech, which he couldn't recognise.

Stonetoss is a Nazi.

I think more of a Steve Tyler.

Houthi is a name of a tribe, a surname of the tribe's leader, as well as the name of a movement associated with that tribe.

The Houthi movement is a Shi'a Islamist movement from Yemen (where about 1/3 of the population are Shi'a, and 2/3 Sunni). The movement has been on the opposing side to the Yemeni government in the long Yemeni Civil War.

Allegedly it's supported by Iran (which Iran officially declined) and it's mottos include "Death to America" and "Death to Israel". That should explain roughly why they are causing a stir in the Red Sea region.

You seriously believe in Lamarck? Like, I don't know, I'm not a native speaker, maybe I'm missing something.

How many fucking times do we have to repeat this: TRAITS ACQUIRED DURING LIFETIME ARE NON-INHERITABLE

If you lose your fingers in an industrial accident, your children aren't going to be born fingerless, are they?

Giraffes don't have long necks because one little giraffe long, long ago tried really, really hard to grow a longer neck, but because giraffes who had been born with longer necks could compete better than those without, and pass on their genes. And they got those necks due to mutations.

Environmental pressure selects for benefitial mutations, while the mutations themselves are random. That's literally the mechanism of evolution through natural selection.

That's not the part I'm disagreeing with. It's generally agreed upon, that Tokyo Ghoul is absolute trash. The first season is passable, but everything after is just not worth the time. And even that passable first season is like 5/10 at best. It's an absolute disgrace of an adaptation seeing as the original is an 8-9/10 manga.

That's definitely an opinion on Tokyo Ghoul. In fact, one of the opinions of all time.

Italy?

Not related, but I like your username sera.

It is a bad thing if you live in a country with a robust social system that is paid for through taxes and a below-replacement birth rate.

Like, we don't need "more" people, but we need to keep the population stable to make sure the disabled and elderly can live well. Because someone has to bear the cost, and we can't all be Norwegian.
