On the list of harmful and toxic one-upping behaviors between women and men, I'd say this one ranks pretty low. might want to start complaining on more important and productive things (and i might as well.)

You're right, a lot of artists are very precise, but I still think the last comment had unwarranted aggression in it. Plus, nypost,com/2013/05/15/43-8-million-for-this/

I've heard it's spelling stems from when people used "ho!" as a way of greeting or exclamation

that last comment irks me. without the title, how can we assume he's hitting on her? for all we know, he could be offering his condolences, or is possibly a close friend. a lot of "art" is open for interpretation, so for this person to say that they support artists because they convey a strict message is shallow and counterproductive.

You're right, global temperature isn't increasing exponentially, that's my mistake. But CO2 levels are almost double their highest recorded points in the past. Climate change due to humans is far from just "hysteria." Besides that, my point was that condemning actual, real problems to the "what else is new" pile is how actual, real catastrophes occur. Ignoring or excusing the problem won't make it go away.

The average global temperature has been increasing exponentially since the industrial revolution. What else is new? Things still fall down instead of up?

It's a problem no matter how old it is. Trying to trivialize it with sarcasm isn't helping.

it's fun to play around with slang words or phrases that have multiple meanings!

So did you shake a literal tree owned by your family? Or did you go searching around your genealogical family tree and found some crazy people? Or is this a euphemism for jerking off?

@nightkami , if you're using adblocker there's an invisible banner at the bottom of the screen that prevents the lowest part from being clicked. Use inspect element to delete that then you're peachy.
This is Horseshoe crab blood and it saves lives 7 comments

"The most obviously unusual aspect of crab blood is that it is bright blue, a consequence of using copper-based hemocyanin to transport oxygen where vertebrates use iron in hemoglobin. Instead of white blood cells to fight infection, many invertebrates have amebocytes, and Atlantic horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) have evolved these to such a peak of refinement that they are of enormous medical value.
Horseshoe crab amebocytes coagulate around as little as one part in a trillion of bacterial contamination. Even better, the reaction takes 45 minutes, not two days as with mammalian equivalents. Coagulan, the chemical that makes this possible, is used for testing medical equipment and vaccines prior to use, without which many more people would die from infections." - iflscience,com/plants-and-animals/how-horseshoe-crab-blood-saves-millions-lives/

pro tip: don't search "tato art" on google or youll get furry fetish porn. I did the digging, and if you want more non-furry non-fetish sci fi art, it's here: facebook.com/TartoHerrera/

i personally liked the clash of the titans movie. I don't think it was exactly accurate to the stories, but entertaining nonetheless
