“Arrests today are protests tomorrow.”

I’ve been supportive of lockdowns for the good of public health, and for the most part I still am because it’s clear that they’ve worked.

However, the UK is also a country of curtain-twitching bastards who’ll clipe on their neighbour for fuck all - and this has led to a certain proportion of the country cheering the police on to stop any form of mass gathering.

Would I have liked the police to make more arrests when rangers fans rioted in George Square and destroyed memorial benches? Yes, but they were rioting.

The people (majority of which were women) who attended the vigil were masked and holding flowers. There was only one approach the police could have taken, and that was assisting in making sure the event could be attended in a socially distanced way.

Instead they started grabbing at people, forcing them to the ground, making arrests. It genuinely looked like they wanted revenge for these women daring to hold a vigil for a woman who was murdered by one of their own fucking colleagues in the Metropolitan Police.

ACAB? Yeah, they prove it time and time again.

well shit

Ah yes, the profit motive, always incentivising the best outcomes.

jealousy isn’t the way bro

The shrimp aren’t gonna have sex with you.

you take that back right fucking now

Unfortunate news… scientists have discovered that shrimp do not see “extra colors”.

We thought that they did because they have 12 different molecules for photoreceptors, whereas humans have only 3. BIG difference, right??

Nope. Turns out that they simply do not have the mental wherewithal to blend, and so needed a separate receptor for each color. The human brain adds color emissions together to create a singular representative color, like reverse engineered printing. Shrimp can’t do that. They can’t take light emitting “green” and light emitting “red” and come back with “yellow”, like we do. They have to have a receptor for yellow, and are relatively horrible at distinguishing shades of colors.

So at the end of the day, not only do shrimp not have “extra colors”… they see less than we do. Shrimp can’t see the fake colors :(

babe wake up new shrimp color drama dropped

okay but they can see with polarised light which we can’t and people are only just now making things that can sort-of give us a clue about what that might look like and anyway we can’t really see it like they do, so like for those people despairing of the ‘forbidden shrimp vision’ having been lost they still have that! it’s just kinda… well

forbidden perpendicular wiggle light vision instead??????
