I understand quite well how monophyletic clades work and I hope you understand that they are a human construct. That doesn’t mean they are wrong or bad or something, but the question you are ignoring is: Who decides what the stem dinosaur is and would the decision be the same if they know about pterosaurs? Maybe but maybe not. Now that decision is made and set in stone, there is no going back but “dinosaur” and “ornithodiran” are just words that would be swopped (again, not gonna happen anymore)

Yes, dinosaurs are defined as all descents of the last common ancestor of [blank] and [blank].

I don’t remember what the blanks were but I’m sure they would have included pterosaurs if they knew about them back than

Maybe they spoke German but with other words for dinosaurs?

They are the direct sister group. It’s kind of a definition thing. People defined dinosaurs before pterosaurs were known so they were not included

Wholesome

I moved to Hessen because my heart told me to do it in morse code

True. Every physical condition has a psychological root

Does she ever admit that? Because that would cause a paradox

If I remember correctly, the very first fade out was at a live performance included the orchestra to physically leave the room

No, merge the 8h work with the 8h sleep. Gives you: 8h sleep at work/8h participate in democratic structures and 8h free time, to modify SRSLY WRONG’s 4/4/4 proposal

When I’m talking about the government, I’m not talking about some shadow government like the Bundesregierung of German or the president of the US. I’m talking about the deep state government

Are you implying that pandemics are created by the government and spread by governmental drones?

Humans: colonize the global south
Also humans: live in the global south

We should stop thinking about humans, bacteria and viruses as monoliths

Someone summoned their ancestors

Inflation hits all of us

Don’t open it! It’s a trap!

So I guess you used the Gregorian calendar in your last comments, I see. Call me old school but I prefer the Julian calendar.

But I see your point now. The 19th is over and will never come back. A new 19th will come and claim their place but it won’t be the same ever again. Your package will never arrive but you will keep up hoping until the end. Hope for the sake of hoping. I honestly admire that attitude. It’s almost absurdist.

I use the French Republican calendar from 1793 because I’m so anti American, I use nothing except for metric systems. You?

Maybe they live in a different time zone?
