    from Wikipedia: “The name “cockchafer”[22] derives from the late-17th-century usage of “cock”[23] (in the sense of expressing size or vigour) + “chafer”[24] which simply means an insect of this type, referring to its propensity for gnawing and damaging plants. The term “chafer” has its root in Old English ceafor or cefer, of Germanic origin and is related to the Dutch kever, all of which mean “gnawer” as it relates to the jaw. As such, the name “cockchafer” can be understood to mean “large plant-gnawing beetle” and is applicable to its history as a pest animal”






  • yeah, this is coolaide man apologist propaganda. weak as shit propaganda too. it’s his brother that has the addiction and runs around busting down walls for it. mr hotharm here is just trying to clean up after his sloppy ass sibling.

    like, i get it. we all want to believe in nomative determinism, but addiction can effect anyone. don’t let big sugar water normalize busting down walls and assaulting children’s parties for a hit.





  • honestly, as good as this may be in the short term, they’ve really just added one more highly Conservative religious state that will vote against the interest of the common good moving forward.

    I strongly support Palestine gaining statehood and for Israel to stop fucking with them (that extends far beyond the war), but that doesn’t mean i like their ideals. i think there’s a strong chance that this will cause problems moving forward and that conservatives will use that as ammunition.

    that said, this is the un finally really kinda doing its job for once. ending global conflict through diplomacy. can’t say that’s a bad thing.
