So if companies raised prices due to the tariffs, the tariffs were found illegal, and companies got billions in refunds.
Why are the prices still at tariff levels?
how can you not believe in God when octopuses DREAM and otters have a favorite rock they carry around in a little SKIN POCKET and cows have BEST FRIENDS and bees are out there communicating the coordinates of flowers through INTERPRETIVE DANCE and they have REGIONAL DIALECTS??
cats are PURRING at frequencies associated with bone healing??? forests get absolutely incinerated and respond by growing FLOWERS??? dolphins literally invent NAMES for themselves and yell them across the ocean??? penguins are waddling around Antarctica looking for the PERFECT LITTLE ROCK to give their beloved???
CROWS REMEMBER YOUR FACE. THEY TELL OTHER CROWS ABOUT YOU. THEY TELL THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT YOU. YOU CAN HAVE GENERATIONAL BEEF WITH A BIRD.
goats have ACCENTS. rats GIGGLE when you tickle them. elephants mourn their dead. whales make SONGS and then OTHER WHALES LEARN THE SONG and suddenly everybody across the ocean is singing the new hit single.
monarch butterflies are born knowing how to fly thousands of miles to a place THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN. sea turtles hatch out of an egg, immediately sprint toward an OCEAN they have never seen, disappear into it for like THIRTY YEARS and then somehow come back to THE SAME BEACH???
birds can see COLORS THAT WE CANNOT SEE. there are colors happening RIGHT NOW that we don’t even get to know about.
there are sea slugs that eat algae and STEAL ITS CHLOROPLASTS and then are just like great thanks I’ll be PHOTOSYNTHESIZING NOW. there are mushrooms communicating underground. there are seeds sitting in the dirt for DECADES like no actually I will wait.
squirrels plant MILLIONS OF TREES because they simply cannot remember where they put their snacks.
A CATERPILLAR GOES INTO A LITTLE BAG, DISSOLVES MOST OF ITS BODY INTO ORGANIC SOUP, REARRANGES ITSELF, GROWS WINGS AND LEAVES.
and you’re telling me a tiny acorn knows how to become a 70-foot oak tree??? nobody tells it what to do??? it just has TREE INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE IT???
your body started as ONE CELL. ONE. and that cell divided itself into a brain that can think about its own existence and eyes that can look at stars and hands that can hold somebody else’s hands and a heart that runs on ELECTRICITY without you even asking it to???
the iron in your BLOOD was made inside a STAR.
I’M SORRY?????
we are walking around on a wet rock covered in bioluminescent oceans and singing whales and laughing rats and birds holding lifelong grudges and flowers exploding out of FIRE and somehow we’re supposed to act like this is a normal place to live?????????
One of the things I’d love addressed by law is the inability to add your parents to your company health insurance scheme. Once they are senior citizens, you should be able to treat them as your dependents in every single way including being able to add them to your insurance
I think a lot of American politics is explained by like 60% of the population never having considered that water could stop coming out of the tap one day
@DailyMail She was not euthanised she was murdered
Voluntary euthanasia is suicide, involuntary euthanasia is murder
Changing the words cannot hide the act
I think sometimes neurodivergent people can get hung up on the literal content of small talk, like 'How are you?' 'Any fun plans for the weekend?' etc because I read a thing once about how in the animal kingdom you basically have to make friendly noises to indicate you're unthreatening to others, and once I started thinking of small talk as just the intent of making friendly noises it became a lot easier to engage with

#Adoption and #surrogacy are not the same thing.
In both cases, the child loses one or both biological parents.
But in adoption, the adults raising the child are seeking to mend the wound. In surrogacy, the adults raising the child have inflicted the wound.
Adoption is an institution centered around the best interests of the child.
Surrogacy is a marketplace centered around the desires of adults.
In adoption, adults do hard things on behalf of children.
In surrogacy, children do hard things on behalf of adults.
One supports children’s rights.
The other violates children’s rights.
In the Utopia mouse experiment, they put mice in a “utopia” with unlimited food and no predators

>birth rates went to zero

Jesus wept.
