When I first saw this on VHS it wasn't at all clear what the bottom half was, it just looked like it went a bit wibbly. It's only recently that I discovered they're dozens of freaky legs.

"not all of them actually do sex work" is one of those fictions that everyone on all sides is happy to play along with.
hur, hur, you said VAG
OP missed a trick here by not simply responding to every question with "fuck off".
Glinner is the biggest argument I've seen against Death of the Author, because once you know you're supposed to be laughing at the marginalised character and with the characters mistreating them, it's impossible to find it funny.
There's lots of examples of it too. The first time watching the theatre trip episode where a judge in drag opens the play, I'd read Roy's discomfort with the show being "too gay" as a joke on Roy being out of his element; we were supposed to laugh at his discomfort. But on rewatching it's hard to shake the idea that actually Roy's defence of "I don't want his sexuality rubbed in my face" is meant as something the audience is supposed to identify and agree with, and that far from being a knowing playful nudge at gay theatre the whole thing was a mean-spirited caricature of it. The meaning does get changed whether Roland Barthes likes it or not.
apologies for the pixels, I stole it from reddit
Can't believe I had to scroll this far to find this. Looks like my school and yours were the only two in the world where it occurred to anyone that you can just superglue the door shut to stop the little shits from thieving them.
umm guys this isn't a news article, it's a Black Mirror episode
A lot of people think of "venomous" as being a one-dimensional property like strength or speed that you have to build your way up towards. But really it's just how this substance your body produces that reacts with another substance in another creature who evolved on a whole other continent to you.
There doesn't need to be a strong evolutionary imperative to be able to kill a herd of elephants, it's enough for there to not be a strong disincentive not to produce enough venom to do it.
It's also worth keeping in mind that if the USD/CNY exchange rate fell in line with the two countries' PPP, China would be biggest economy in the world by a margin of nearly 30%.
You're correct, but are getting downvoted by people who treat the whole topic like they're supporting a sports team.

The first few decades of my life I assumed that there'd been all sorts of important orthopaedic/podiatry research done into the difference between men and women's feet, gaits etc that meant wearing sports shoes sold as "women's" would in some way cause my feet long term harm. Nope, it was bullshit marketing all along.
