Teflon tape on the underside!

From Wikipedia:

According to the Christian writer Clement of Alexandria, Dionysus was guided in his journey by Prosymnus or Polymnus, who requested, as his reward, to be Dionysus’ lover. Prosymnus died before Dionysus could honor his pledge, so to satisfy Prosymnus’ shade, Dionysus fashioned a phallus from a fig branch and penetrated himself with it at Prosymnus’ tomb. This story survives in full only in Christian sources, whose aim was to discredit pagan mythology, but it appears to have also served to explain the origin of secret objects used by the Dionysian Mysteries.

Who’s we?

They’ll probably stay in zoos or preserves.

They were here pretty recently, their food is still here. It was cruel that we extincted them.

I don’t think palatable nutritional vegan cat food exists, at least none with any empirical evidence its safe for cats long-term.

We do only wet food. Our last cat needed it to keep up hydration, and now we do the same with our new cats. Def more expensive, and not sure it’s worth it for healthy cats that drink enough.

Are you in the US?

Did you watch the video?

In biology we call it limb autonomy.

The problem will not be acted upon in Africa, maybe ever.

I wouldn’t call him imperialist either. I think he was a pretty decent leader for Japan. He wasn’t murdered for his politics, but because of his religious affiliation.

Why was he imperialist?

I’m almost the same story. Now I have great pay, fully remote, and a position where I’m respected, without competing egos, and folks want what I have to offer.

Kinda a tangent, but my department was always having guest speakers come from “alternative careers” but none were better paying or higher status than a professorship. Usually park rangers or low paying consulting things. Maybe I just had bad luck, but it really pushed the narrative that there were no opportunities out there. I’d love to give that talk to a department of PhD students, to give them my perspective if what’s important from the outside looking in.

In the US, most professors are part time adjunct and get no health benefits. Probably make 30-50k.

Tenured faculty at major universities make 70-90k.

Considering these jobs requires at least 9 years of uni (in the US), the lifetime income of professors is still very low.

RE TAs: I US stem fields TAs work 20h and make 15-30k. That usually includes free tuition, but not in all states (e.g. in Texas, you sometimes pay tuition out of your TA pay, which is crazy)

Where do you live? I don’t believe you.

College professors. Most are part time adjunct, most make garbage pay, work their asses off, while university executives make bank.
