fucked up thing abt this is that there used to be something that ate tigers
Tigers have eye spots to avoid attacks from predators while drinking water. Getting a drink is one of the few times they are vulnerable so this affords a good backup intimidation strategy.

How To Believe False Things by request, this is an explanation of how I got 38 years old believing a match of World Cup men's team vs World Cup women's would be fair. Further links and footnotes over at my blog, link to that in the following comment. Who Are You Going To Believe? Everything Everyone Says Plus Everything You See, or Some Science-Illiterate Jerks? As I talk about frequently on this blog1, autistic people have a natural tendency to believe that when other people say things they are trying to truthfully communicate what they actually believe. Because otherwise what’s the point?? Several friends say “Yes ok, but you have eyes, right? You can see things yourself?” Can I? What is it I saw, when I looked around? I grew up in a suburb of a small Blue city in the 90s. I did not see men fighting women. My time was spent in school where teachers interact via words and chalkboards. My peers were children and their strength was proportional to what grade they were in, not their sex. My siblings were younger than me, so weaker. My babysitter was older than me, so she was stronger. All adults were functionally infinitely strong. At recess I read books. I opted out of gym as much as possible, it was humiliating and vulgar. The only post-puberty phys ed class I was forced to take was sex segregated so I wouldn't have had any opportunity to see differences. In earlier gym classes I didn’t look around much. Why would I? Are people comparing themselves to see how many jumping jacks they can do? I just wanted it to be done with. I didn’t watch sports, but even when I was exposed to them they were already sex-segregated, so how could I have observed that women are having a hard time against men? Mostly I just noticed that women were excluded from sports altogether. I was told this was due to sexism, which lined up with everything I had been told about the world, so obviously it was true. But the Olympics!! What about the Olympics? Men don’t compete against women, so a casual watching of a nearby TV during a conversation doesn’t give any observations. To notice a difference I would have to look for the reported numbers somewhere on the screen, write them down, and compare them across the events. Again, this is not a level of interest I held/hold for sports. OK, but what about all of media everywhere? I grew up in the 90s. My media diet consisted of awesome stuff like Aliens, Terminator 2, Buffy, Xena, Dark Angel, the various Star Treks, The Matrix, Farscape etc. The rule for who kicked ass was "the one that's the main character." If an action movie or series had a woman in it, she kicked ass. My books were science fiction and fantasy and Marvel. What determined the winner of a fight wasn’t muscles, it was cybernetics and laser guns, or dark rituals and spell books and magic swords, or getting the best mutation. The very earliest RPG I played did have a tiny points-neutral modifier for sex, but by the time I bought my second computer game even that was gone. Stats were allocated by the player, and could be modified by race (elf/dwarf/orc, human/ghoul/supermutant) but never by sex. Sex was purely an aesthetic choice. Why would whether you have a dick or not affect how hard you can swing a sword? The one difference everyone did admit to was men have a modest advantage in upper-body strength, so they’ll do more pushups and pull-ups than women can. So yes, everywhere I looked, men and women were basically identical. It’s actually very easy to not get any evidence of male physical advantage if you don’t spend much time interacting with the physical world and all your second-hand sources are politely not drawing attention to the embarrassingly unequal parts of reality. And every disparity that does exist is easily attributed to the deep sexism of society which is as well established as the heliocentric model of the solar system. I hold that — given my experience — I was more justified in my belief than anyone who claims that men playing against women for the World Cup would be unfair. All it takes is trusting that people believe what they say over and over for decades across all of society, and getting all your evidence about reality filtered through those same people. Which is actually not very hard.

Man comes 'back to life' as surgeons began the process of harvesting his body parts after they determined he was de*d Kentucky man TJ Hoover II was thrashing on the table & "crying visibly" as doctors prepared to remove his organs. Before the process, the family raised concerns that Hoover was alive because his eyes seemed open and he looked around while being wheeled to the operating room. They were told that it was a "common reflex." Hoover had been declared "brain de*d" after an overdose. When Hoover started thrashing and crying, he was sedated and doctors *still* planned on going forward with the organ recovery, according to NPR. The transplant was ultimately cancelled leading to several employees quitting. The Kentucky Attorney General and US Health Services Resources Administration are now reportedly investigating the incident. "I feel betrayed by the fact that the people that were telling us he was brain de*d, and then he wakes up," his sister told NPR.

If you, as a man, don’t understand how important it is to do this then idk what to tell you — intergalactic yikes. Early in their careers there was a period in which my mom out earned my dad. He knew it was in everyone’s best interest to pay more than her for any bills — anything else was considered a moral failure. He worked many extra hours to do this. She didn’t say anything and never complained, she even offered to pay more, but he inherently knew how he wanted the relationship dynamic to remain — he vehemently refused. He had an intrinsic understanding of human nature that you lose when you succumb to modern 50/50 split brain rot. This neuro degeneration is ruining modern relationships
