    Quillette goes mainstream?

    This is referring to the Sokal Affair, which had its own thread here on CFC - not worth reading - and a grand total of ONE of those various papers was submitted to a respected journal. The rest were predatory publishers, pay-to-publish, or otherwise second-rate tripe. And this article, written...

    I suspect the emu is probably closer to 50% dressed weight. Big beak, big legs, looks like an angry tree. It's still a big bird though. They're very high in protein. Good if you're a bodybuilder or athlete. But that much protein does weird things to your body. Probably fine for once a week, but...

    Much of that weight is feathers and stuff. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if they feed more than ten people.

    It's not healthy to eat that much emu either.

    Probably a fair point.

    In 1931, Perth's population was still under 100,000. An emu will feed about 10 people. That's a lot of people eating emus for several days straight.

    Saudi Arabian Journalist Murdered in Consulate

    And the CIA has found that MBS ordered the murder. Source. TLDR: MBS ordered the murder, Khashoggi was lured to the consulate by MBS's brother - who may not have known what was going to happen - under direction from MBS. Confirmed by multiple sources. The CIA hasn't released a statement yet...

    Coats cause inequality...

    In my school you wore simply refused to wear a uniform correctly. Because screw the man, man. I wore my uniform correctly, because I honestly didn't care. Naturally, by the time I was 15-16, this had caused a complete switch in priorities, and now I was (briefly) cool because I didn't care...

    Quillette goes mainstream?

    When the first thing I read besides the header is a discussion of how Jordan Peterson is right, I quicky feel the need to wash my eyeballs. Having that on my browser history is more embarrassing than the most twisted pornography I can find. And believe me, I can find a lot. But this isn't...

    And I'm sure some people did eat them. Doesn't change the fact that they're hard to kill, and not many people had guns anyway. Besides, rural areas where they had access to emu meat were less likely to have food problems anyway. Except for the problems caused by emus eating crops. EDIT...

    As you can see, it takes multiple bullets to kill an emu. It's just not cost effective.

    And outside of the military, how many people do you think had guns, and bullets, during the Depression in Australia?

    Because an angry emu will eff you up. They're terrifying harbingers of death. Tbf, we do eat them. We just can't eat that many of the damn things that quickly. And they don't taste great. Also bear in mind that this was 1932. Our population was about a tenth of its current level. Less of us to...

    I got my ex in trouble in school by texting her info on this while she was supposed to be paying attention in class, causing her to start laughing. The rest of the world had Nazis, Soviets, the IJA, the British Empire, and so on. We had emus. Terrifying, deadly emus.
