Reply to comment by Pathetian in ‘Doppelganger murder’: German prosecutors claim woman killed lookalike to fake death by Thcrtgrphr
The only episode that comes to mind is the one in SVU where a girl "tricked" a family into saying she was their runaway daughter because thy looked the same. Only to find out the family knew that the original daughter was dead but just went along with it to cover up the murder.

Sure let's go after almost extinct species like fucking idiots. But then again, looking at how Japan treats its own citizens I'm not sure why Im surprised.

I'm Japanese and whale is delicious. It's delicious deep-fried. It used to be served at school lunches.

That's a pretty half-hearted attempt at avoiding their impending population collapse. Honestly, I shudder to think of the policies they'll introduce when they figure out they need more babies.

>"we can respect the lives of whales by appreciating their meat"
That's a great quote to keep in mind for a funeral of a beloved relative. Plus, you also solved what to serve at the reception.

Of course whaling is only for scientific purposes. Culinary science.

Yeah, if she skimmed smaller amounts but stayed under budget (and cut corners in the kitchen to have some wiggle room) she might have pulled this off. Not that I'm going to pursue a life of crime or anything.

Whales are much closer to being extinct than most any other domesticated animal. They also don't reproduce at the same rate. The argument not necessarily that its individual life is inherently more valuable than say a cow. But to the rest of its species it is comparatively more valuable.
As a thought experiment, imagine someone killing the last member of a species. Then when you criticize them, they point out you ate chicken so you're both equal. You'd think them a moron. This is a lesser version of my example

The only song of his I know is the one referenced in this post, and the musical component of the song isn’t even his. So as far as I know, all he’s good at is saying random words with someone else’s track playing behind him.

None of this is true. It's genuinely incredible how much they indoctrinate you with bullshit over there.
And for that reason, I'm sure they're glad they're not part of your country.
>so at least we have that in common.
You're literally speaking their language. Are you ok?

Chickens can fly high enough to get into the canopy of trees. Thats where they would normally roost. Their wings get clipped so they dont fly off. The modern chicken is a distant descendant of a bird from Asia but domesticated chickens can still fly high enough that coops would have to either have really tall fences or some sort of roof enclosure. I have seen domesticated chickens that didnt have their wings clipped and they could easily get up into tall oak, maple, and pine trees.

More mushrooms growing wild, more people harvesting those mushrooms, more people mistaking edible varieties for toxic ones.
This is why multiple subreddits have rules against identifying plants as edible. People make mistakes. Frequently.

It’s like they have no capacity for independent thought, or like the world outside the US is completely alien to them.
The idea that modern day British people ever think about the fact the US was once a colony… it’s like 300 years ago. Such a weird worldview.
