Polis has always tried way too hard to demonstrate that he sees nuance and splits hairs. Sometimes that baby is rancid and needs to go with the bathwater.
You are correct. Taste is actually a common part of identification. You have to digest it to get hurt.
But I personally just don't mess with ID'ing agaricus. There are a few choice primo ones, a couple that will kill you, and a whole bunch that are just bleh, and might make you violently vomit. And they are just so close in appearance, I leave them be.
I can smell your fabric softener, no matter how long ago you used it. Artificial perfumes of any kind just murder my sinuses. It suuuucks.
I also can hear electronics, even just the lights, if that's all that's on. Maddening, because I can almost never find real silence. It's why I love camping.
The Thing (J Carpenter version) is the best SFX movie ever, imo, and holds up incredibly well. The original Dracula didn't need anything fancy. And for the best practical FX using camera angles and other filming tricks, any film by Buster Keaton is a masterpiece of cinema.
I love it when faschies quote Orwell. Like, you obviously didn't read his works or you would know he was a socialist.
Edit: I'm not in any way about to get into deep discussions. I'm on mobile and have ADHD, so just deal with my overly reductionist statements.
Edit 2: Orwell called himself a socialist, argue with him.
Later, he became active in democratic socialism, and I'm not arguing whether that's the same or different. That's a whole other discussion.
He was very critical of communism (very much not the same thing as socialism, at least in practice during the first half of the 20th century, and in the US and other western countries, socialists amd communists came to blows with each other), and Stalinism specifically. He was equally hypercritical of tory-flavored monarchism, and amy other type of authoritarian government.
I know of two for sure, so probably more.
Edit: 2 murderers, plus one known caused accident. At least.
