True, I guess several definitions of life may coexist with different implications and all of them are right in the right context as long as they don’t contain a self-contradiction. But in the context of this debate, I think most would agree that the best definition would be the one that has the biggest consensus amongst biologists, and maybe more precisely microbiologists. And most such definitions you’d find would include “self-replication” as a necessary trait.

We invented the word “living”, we get to chose what it refers to. We are necessarily right, because this is a truth we create, not a transcendent one. If we collectively decide to change the definition of “living” to include viruses, we will still be right but it won’t mean we were wrong before.

there’s no need to feel down, I said

A smooth criminal!

… Having learned his lesson, Nasser would go on to strike a tough bargain on the rights to the Suez canal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wMMuK3Y8rg&t=0 I don’t know if it counts because the lyrics don’t make much sense either, but the video has a giant who votes his crush and her bird boyfriend out of jealousy. The title is a pun because in French "your laces are undone " sounds identical to “your laces are fairies.” And the other lyrics are a bit abstract.

Yes.

But what if you’re a cockroach and you can’t go on?

You do get points for having a pokémon in the background tho.

Very cool

Already 5 seasons? I remember watching season 1 when I was in highschool. Strangely, I enjoyed it enough to finish it within one night, but didn’t find it memorable. Then years past before another season came out, but when I checked it out I found it boring and left after one episode. And to me it feels like there was a decade between season 1 and 2 and a few months between 2 and 5.

Wouldn’t the message come from the website, tho? Seems like she’s shooting the messenger.

Oh no, without the power of friendship I am forced to begin a villain arc, which will only end in me conquering the world with te power of hatred. Or being killed by a hero while trying. Or being confronted by a hero, but instead of killing me he tells me a speech about how he’s just like me and he keeps having flashbacks of a swing and then I am convinced to die heroically or something.

Not even the power of friendship?

Who said anyhing about voting?

The bourgeois do be forging the weapons of their own destruction…

It seems to me like you should try and acquire great enough power that you can help all those you can and punish all those who do you wrong; or who do the world wrong. Take control of the world and rule it; with a virtue without which terror would be grim, and terror without which virtue would be powerless.

I’m also trying to do that, but there can be only one. See you at the top!

But I can change, I can change!
I can learn to keep my promises I swear it!

Since HOAs were mentioned, I assume the previous comment was about the US (unless there are countries in the Old World where they are as prevalent, but I know of none). Domestic honey bees aren’t native to the US, and many native bees are endangered for many different reasons. In the rest of the world as well, honey bees aren’t the only bees, or the only pollinating insects, and each pollinator has their plants of predilections, some species of plants depend entirely on some species of insect, so insect biodiversity is very important. Protecting native bees in the Americas has particular stakes, because they’re the most adept at pollinating the native plants which are the cornerstones of several ecosystems.
