Re: Confusing headlines
He's sexually attracted to sentient beings? Um, it would be pretty bad if he was sexually attracted to non-sentient beings, right?

Re: Confusing headlines
He's sexually attracted to sentient beings? Um, it would be pretty bad if he was sexually attracted to non-sentient beings, right? At least he's not objectumsexual ! Of course, I've never heard of anyone who's described themselves as that, even though it certainly exists, with the existence of sex ...

Re: Elections in various countries
I do not have any details, not knowing much about Canada in general, but the Green voting intention is rising in Canada, as in Germany, Austria, France, Ireland, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Scotland and England, and it's likely that NDP voters are often the ones switching to Green. This only acco...

Re: Confusing headlines
Not really confusing, but I misread it at first... BBC News: Thomas Cook told extra funds needed to seal rescue It took me a moment to parse this correctly - at first I thought "Why is a travel agency involved in rescuing endangered species? Are they doing this thing where big corporations take...

Re: The Contradictory Feelings Thread
So I'm not sure where the Contradictory Feelings are here. Have you previously expressed some sort of antipathy to Leeds? See vampireshark's posts here from August 26th and August 27th: So, there's a position that looks like it'd be cool to apply for. It'd be a one-year postdoc position at the Univ...

Re: Elections in various countries
I'm frankly a bit annoyed that no one I follow on the internet except for Vijay seems to be talking about this. Sure, there are a lot of other interesting things happening in the world right now, but none of them, not even the tense situation between the USA, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, look quite as im...
