With a bit more self-awareness, Bray could have avoided contact with us completely.
He was arrested for being obtuse.

Hmm. How about an event horizon tat? Any interest?
Pfft, I got it the first time.
The “math” is repeated with horizontal symmetry too; these explanations are the same.
Proper tldr;
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Queensland, Australia, has implemented a new policy prohibiting visitors from cuddling koalas. This decision was made in response to concerns raised by animal welfare advocates and experts about the stress and potential harm cuddling may cause to the koalas. The sanctuary’s management aims to prioritize the well-being and natural behavior of the koalas while still allowing visitors to interact with them in other ways that are less intrusive.
More:
Koalas are naturally solitary animals and are sensitive to stress from various sources, including human interaction. When koalas are cuddled or held by visitors, it can cause stress due to several reasons:
-Koalas are wild animals and may find being handled or restrained uncomfortable or frightening. This can lead to stress responses such as increased heart rate, elevated cortisol levels (stress hormone), and defensive behaviors.
-Koalas spend most of their time sleeping and resting in trees, and they are not accustomed to being picked up or held. Being cuddled can disrupt their natural behavior patterns and routines.
-Improper handling or sudden movements by visitors can potentially cause physical harm to the koalas, such as scratches or other injuries.
-Close contact with humans can also pose health risks, such as the transmission of diseases or parasites between koalas and visitors.
-With koalas already facing threats in the wild, such as habitat loss and disease, minimizing stress and ensuring their well-being in captivity is crucial for their long-term conservation.
This article doesn’t cover it (specifically) so I went digging to see if this might compete with weight loss drugs as well:
Victoza (liraglutide) is also used to treat obesity. While it was originally approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, it has also been approved under the brand name Saxenda for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. Saxenda and Victoza contain the same active ingredient, liraglutide, but they are marketed and dosed differently depending on the indication.
Google said:
As of April 2024, the list price for a 30-day supply of Saxenda (liraglutide) is around $1,350, but the actual cost can range from $1,590 to $1,656 without insurance or discounts.
I think it’s because it helps them manipulate objects, just like fingers on a hand.
Step 3. Ensure you don’t leave any evidence as you tie the body.

Bad bot.
I don’t understand why we teach that to children, just to turn around and tell them not to do it a few years later.
Or because we are comparing rates now to those when COVID restrictions were in place?
I liked the movie. The activity itself is as boring as baseball.
I already provided the reasoning. Where does it say, “because they’re communist”?

Really?
Cuba has long had good relations with Russia. It was a key ally to the former Soviet Union during the Cold War that briefly hosted nuclear missiles at Moscow’s behest during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Also…
Again on October 19, 1960, almost two years after the Cuban Revolution had led to the deposition of the Batista regime, the U.S. placed an embargo on exports to Cuba except for food and medicine after Cuba nationalized the US-owned Cuban oil refineries without compensation. On February 7, 1962, the embargo was extended to include almost all exports.
I would argue the original reasoning was very valid. Helps to know the history though, I guess.
Consider these terms vs words:
Site / look
An overlook / overlooked
An oversight / [provide] oversight
I see you have a bit of spitfire left over. Please sit in this cubicle over here and adult for just a little while longer.
The researchers spent all their money on walkers. Pretty shit hypothesis if you ask me; those things are worthless in a snow drift.
Hmm. I just realized I haven’t been excited about anything in a long time.
That sucks.
It needs to be “if you disagree without evidence.”
They can leave that whole “if you’re not a scientist” bit in the rubbish bin.
I stopped wearing navy blue socks.
