The bouba-kiki effect is when people associate a shape with a sound. It’s not confined to humans, baby chicks also match a spiky shape to a ‘kiki’ sound and a round shape to a ‘bouba’ sound.
@ElectronahopXXX@MajorsDaddy_35 The word barbecue comes from the Spanish word barbacoa. Traditionally its a pit in the ground where meat is slow roasted.
A Ford dealership in Kansas can’t hand over a sold F-250 after a robin built a federally protected nest on one of the truck’s tires.
Under U.S. wildlife laws, the active nest cannot legally be removed until the birds leave.
Meta just threatened to shut down Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp in an entire US state..
New Mexico sued them for child safety failures.. a jury found them liable.. fined them $375 million.. and now the state wants actual reforms.. age verification, separate teen accounts, real protections..
Meta's response.. "those changes are too hard.. we'd rather leave"
a $1.5 trillion company is telling 2 million people it would rather cut them off than make its platform safe for children..
the state attorney general called it a PR stunt.. said Meta rewrites its own rules constantly, redesigns products on demand, and has bent to the demands of dictators to keep market access..
but protecting kids in New Mexico.. that's where they draw the line
If your bitch cheats on you and comes back telling you she loves you, tell her to prove it by being your wingman in pursuing another bitch. Or just fuck her sister.
Professor Jiang Xueqin, do not think for one second that US Military personnel are fooled into thinking you are not soke plant feeding Beijing counter-intel and leaking U.S. op vulnerabilities to Iranian cutouts via academic networks.
Your Beijing seminars with PLA-linked think tanks (China Institute of International Studies), speaking about potential U.S. carrier group weaknesses in the Gulf info that trickles to IRGC via Sino-Iranian education exchanges (Tehran University ties).
I Do Not See You As Some Innocent Teacher
At one point you were running HUMINT for Canadian SIS out of Kunming, targeting Uyghur dissident flows, but got burned and extracted, only to reinsert as a "reformed" critic. Something about you is not sitting right and people are starting to find out. I can get very deep about info involving you.
But I will leave that for another crowd at another time.
