My ferret trivia is that in the 90s NY NPR had Rudy Giuliani on doing an interview and then a ferret for pets advocate called in and Giuliani has a loving crazy rant against the caller.

I could understand if he ever had one. I had a super cute one that while I loved him, he was a little bastard. Fucker would play by biting toes and fingers all the drat time so watching tv barefoot was not fun. Also when I moved out of my apartment I discovered where he'd hide shiny things like jewelry or poo poo like Checkers burger wrappers he'd apparently dig out of the trash. Bastard. Super cute though and I still kinda miss him 18 years later.

My friend, we've disagreed on a lot of things,

This is the first I’ve heard of it and I’m saddened by this. In fact, if anyone here disagrees with me on any topic at any time, I encourage them to speak up either on the forums or in a private message.

Is that it? I remember that a very long time ago there was a QI 'fact' that there was on Welsh word for blue which you would have thought would have been easy to check. Always made me hesitant to believe when they brought things up on that show.

It's generally called the Puppetmaster defense.

Eh, it's similar, but I don't see it as the same. Puppetmaster is where you've got a bunch of people yelling about how you're wrong and dumb or whatever, and you pretend like that was your goal from the beginning. This one kinnnnnnda goes that way but is more like "I'm now being insulted and shat on (personally)? Yes, that is what I like, keep doing it! Haha you thought this was an attack but actually I enjoy it!" rather than it being their goal from the beginning.

It's a bit like the inverse of sour grapes, I guess. Sweet grapes?

It was there is no welsh word for Brown, not blue. Which a quick google translate seems to bear out.

I think multiple languages didn't have a word for blue. They just considered it a shade of green.

I seem to remember ancient Greek (like Homer Greek) not having distinguishing words for blue and purple. Like in either the Odyssey or the Iliad, Homer referenced the wine-dark sea.

e: Ah ha!

"The ancient Greeks classified colours by whether they were light or dark, rather than by their hue. The Greek word for dark blue, kyaneos, could also mean dark green, violet, black or brown. The ancient Greek word for a light blue, glaukos, also could mean light green, grey, or yellow."

It's basically that they don't recognize Israel's right to exist, so they won't stamp a passport that has an Israeli stamp in it. On a sort of similar note, Vietnam refuses to stamp new Chinese passports because the map of China inside them shows a lot of disputed territory, and India stamps them with a new map.

Passports are an interesting avenue for diplomacy.

Israel doesn't stamp your passport anymore. Instead the give you a an entry visa slip that you can easily lose.

I mean, just googling "identity product consumption" gave me a lot of papers on the subject. Here's a whole curated set of articles.

From what I can tell, it boils down to "human brains really like being part of an in-group," which could possibly have to do with social survival strategies, but who the gently caress even knows with that stuff.
There was some psychologist who did a whole study on social rejection based on an experience where he was at a park and some guys' frisbee landed near him so he threw it back and then the guys threw it to him again for a little while and then they stopped and that made him feel awful. It turns out that human beings basically have tiny nervous breakdowns whenever we perceive we're being rejected. The human race is doomed.

Reminder that Donald Trump Jr. is the one who just straight up tweeted out proof that he met with the Russians on behalf of his father's campaign to get dirt on Hilary. So the thought of someone even dumber than Trump Senior is hilarious/horrifying.

That's Homer specifically. The sky was bronze and the sea was like wine. The word for blue shows up later in languages than most other colors, and that's launched a whole debate over how humans see color; in languages with the same word for green and blue, what was the difference between sky and leaves.

I use pansexual over bisexual on dating sites, because while many bisexuals are attracted to trans and nonbinary people, not all are. (I'm not saying binary trans people aren't women or men, just that some bisexuals are transphobic just like anyone else and still see them as "gross" or whatever). Pansexual is specifically inclusive of all trans people, binary and other wise though. And as a nonbinary person, I appreciate the use when I see it. There are still some pansexual people who do the whole "I'm better than everyone because I don't see gender. Bisexual means two it's transphobic!*:smug:" and stupid poo poo like that, like there's those poly people who do the whole "Oh, I just don't get jealous or envious ever" while having the most drama filled ridiculous relationships.

*And they're rarely talking about nonbinary people, they're usually talking about binary trans people. So they're basically saying they don't see gender and are trans inclusive, while also treating trans people like their own separate gender. :ironicat:
