so ive long had problems with the way we rank and label the sciences, and even with how much import we give the label "science" and fight over what disciplines "deserve" it. like its only because it got labeled a soft science or social science or whatever than economists got their hackles up and tried to prove that their flavore of bs is JUST AS RIGOROUS AND IMPORTANT AS SUPREME FATHER PHYSICS and so we have this horrible dick-waving across all academia about whose throbbing rock-hard boner is the longestr

like maybe we're encouraging the wrong attitudes about how and why we study the world in the first plac3e

While the rules of abstinence generally only allow seafood, there are a few exceptions. In parts of South America, especially in Venezuela, capybara meat is popular during Lent and Holy Week; in response to a question posed by French settlers in Quebec in the 17th century, beaver was classified as an exception;[14][15][16] and the Archbishop of New Orleans said that "alligator is considered in the fish family" in 2010.[17][18] The legal basis for the classification of beaver as fish probably rests with the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas, which bases animal classification as much on habit as anatomy.[19]

i know i'm getting trolled but the internet idiots who read a 140 character hot take and think they know what they're talking about GET MY GOAT. the number of supposedly-educated people who somehow think that prescriptivism and descriptivism are rival sports teams instead of analytical tools is fairly disappointing.

words have meaning. that meaning changes over time. don't be an idiot and it's not a problem, but somehow people have a lot of problems with that.

He had a number of feats he would perform, such as:

• He would hold his arm out, with fingers outstretched, and challenge people to attempt to bend his little finger.
  
• He would stand on a greased iron disk and challenge people to push him off of it.
  
• He would hold a pomegranate in one hand, and challenge others to take it from him. Nobody ever could, and despite him holding the fruit very tightly, it was never damaged.
  
• He would train in the off years by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until the Olympics took place. By the time the events were to take place, he was carrying a four-year-old cow on his back. He carried the full-grown cow the length of the stadium, then proceeded to kill, roast, and eat it.

The 1948 World Series was the championship series in Major League Baseball for the 1948 season. The 45th edition of the World Series, it matched the American League (AL) champion Cleveland Indians and the National League (NL) champion Boston Braves. The Braves had won the National League pennant for the first time since the "Miracle Braves" team of 1914, while the Indians had spoiled a chance for the only all-Boston World Series by winning a one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox for the American League flag.[1] Though superstar pitcher Bob Feller failed to win either of his two starts, the Indians won the Series in six games to capture their second championship (as well as their most recent) and their first since 1920.

It was the first World Series to be televised beyond the previous year's limited New York-Schenectady-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington network and was announced by famed sportcasters Red Barber, Tom Hussey (in Boston) and Van Patrick (in Cleveland).[2] This was the second appearance in the Fall Classic for both teams, with the Indians' lone previous appearance coming in a 1920 win against the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Braves' lone previous appearance coming in a 1914 win against the Philadelphia Athletics. Consequently, this was the first, and to date only, World Series in which both participating teams had previously played in, but not yet lost, a previous World Series. Currently, this phenomenon can only be repeated if the Miami Marlins or the Washington Nationals play against either the Toronto Blue Jays or the Los Angeles Angels in a future World Series.
