British people like Doctor Who because it fulfills their fantasy of getting to go on adventures. Americans like Doctor Who because it fulfills their fantasy of having a doctor.

@laptopkitten Dr Who is a sort of existential horror show though: a machine which can take you anywhere in time and space, yet you keep ending up back in England.

The thing is about Australian wildlife is that most Aussie animals won’t back down from a fight, but most of them don’t go looking for a fight either.

If you’re worried about visiting Australia because of our deadly fauna, here’s a hint. If you see an Australian animal, walk away from it.

A kangaroo has trouble disemboweling a retreating person because its attack involves rocking back on its tail and kicking you with both feet. It’s not really able to do any damage on something that’s moving away.

Magpies will generally let you know where their territory is, and if you stay out of it while they’re nesting, they won’t knock a hole in your head.

You literally have to get in the water to be bothered by sharks or crocodiles. Swim where the locals swim.

Snakes and spiders are about the only thing that you might happen upon by surprise and they tend to be happy to let you leave, but will happily fuck you up in self defence.

Y’see, Aussie wildlife mostly kills idiots who approach it, try to pat it, or catch it. Our animals mostly kill and maim stupid people.

I guess, my point is, we don’t have anything like lions or bears that will chase you down, pull you out of your car and tear you to pieces.

Also, the chances of being shot in this country is almost non existent.

Australia’s a pretty safe place to visit, comparatively.

The Willy Wonka event in Glasgow feels like a potent metaphor for Brexit, to be honest: how it was sold versus the actual experience.

"This is objectively correct.Trump is the very worst—the actual bottom of the barrel—of the human beings our country has birthed.You can tell me that he is tied with some others ...Manson, Dahmer, and but as a Trump biographer I’m not going to have any difficulty arguing that no one exceeds Trump in being despicable. Keep in mind that the death toll from his actions during the pandemic will never be equaled by any serial killer or terrorist because it would be logistically impossible." s.a.

He is responsible for the death of many thousands of Americans.

Donald Trump is a horrid, malignant, narcissistic sociopath. He’s one of the worst exemplars of the human species I’ve ever witnessed. Period.

@weberc2 @skykiss He deliberately did things to make it worse, his party ignored and dismantled pandemic response plans, he took a world order which had gotten used to at least having some direction to follow from the US and told it to go to hell.

He is directly responsible for not even doing things a normal Republican president would have done, while actively fracturing and sabotaging any hope of a global response to limit deaths.

    @actuallyautistic
    Read an article recently that claimed autistic individuals are less likely to succumb to marketing and impulse buying. I think this is true about myself.

    I am aware that AuDHD can often work against this, and make shopping a dreadful experience because of the push and pull of "wanting" but not "needing" something. I'd love to hear y'all's experiences/opinions.

    @chevalier26 @actuallyautistic if I notice your ad is an ad, I hate you, if you tried to target it at me, I swear vendetta* against you, loud jarring bullshit, I'm willing to look up who to resort your ad to, BUT if you make me laugh like zocdoc or actually want to click your contextual ads like Pinterest, fine, I guess.

    I am seeing a lot of hubbub over a third case of in a human in the US.

    Just to be clear: Right now, in our "lowest" point of in almost a year, 278 Americans are being infected EVERY MINUTE. Ten percent or more will go on to suffer months or years of Long COVID symptoms. Some will have damaged brains, hearts, and other organs.

    We shouldn't lose focus on the immediate and real risks we face of COVID.

    @augieray Saw someone point out that not everyone they know who had COVID had a severe illness afterwards that needed a trip to the hospital, but everyone they know who had a severe illness that put them in the hospital had COVID beforehand.
