  • TIL that half the visual information from each retina goes to one hemisphere of the brain, rather than one eye per hemisphere

  • Yeah, the immune system can be moronic. Intelligent design my ass.

    However, there's something extra special about getting poked in one eye and having your own immune system decide that an eye for an eye means your good eye has to die.

  • Absolutely unfun semi-related fact:

    Sometimes when one eye is injured, the injured eye has to be removed or your body will decide the uninjured eye is bad and your immune system will destroy it.

    If the injured eye has no chance of recovery, they scoop it out.

  • Right in choice of target, perhaps?

    That's what I assumed they meant, but I'm not sure.

    You could ask them.

  • I never liked beer. It just tastes like shit to me. I'm also not a fan of dry wine, so I don't usually go for that. I do like mixed drinks.

    I very rarely drink. My wife's older brother was killed by a drunk driver. I met her after that, but I got to see the impact it had on their lives. So, if I'm driving I won't touch any alcohol.

    When my kids were young, and I was still in the on call rotation at work, I was always either driving the kids around or I was on call, so I couldn't drink.

    Now the kids are grown, and I don't take call anymore, but it just never occurs to me. Very rarely, my wife and I will go to a restaurant within walking distance of our house. If we go there, I'll have a couple long island iced teas. To give you an idea of the frequency, we've gone there three times in the last seven years. We might also open a bottle of wine at holidays.

    I never was part of the drinking culture. My wife and I started dating when we were in high school. We've never been the sort to go to a bar or a nightclub.

    When my kids were young and in karate, we would go to parties with the other karate parents. My wife and I were shocked by the dads who would get absolutely plastered at these parties. When we asked, they said they drink like that every week.

    Because 7 8 9.

  • I don't know anyone who envies much of anything about the U.S., but it does seem like every time we cause the world economy to shit the bed, our billionaires seem to be ok before your billionaires are.

    So, maybe those are the people who envy the U.S.

  • The 47 million wasn't all naturalized citizens. It also included legal residents and undocumented individuals.

  • Based on my lazy googling, he's throwing out at least 50 million citizens.

    I'm saying at least because Google's response counted naturalized citizens in the "not citizens" count of 47 million people.

  • I feel like what we need for people to understand this is for non-politicians to start running for election.

    I don't know how that gets fixed when everyone who understands what's happening is being crushed by what's happening.

  • 3 men assaulted a trans bartender. Now she's facing felonies for defending herself.

  • No no no. You can own a gun to defend yourself, but you can't use the gun to defend yourself if you're not part of the in-group.

    Otherwise, you're withholding profits from the corporations that sell the guns.
