Would've worked better if "racist thoughts" were inserted into a list of possible side effects.

I thought to myself when the story came out that it would be cool if the maker of Ambien released a public statement clarifying that racism is not a side effect of their medication, but they probably wouldn't do it, because it wouldn't be safe PR.  Turns out they did do just that.  I'll get a prescription for Ambien just to support them.

My brother has said some bizarre stuff while on Ambien.  Nothing racist, but just about as weird.

Yeah, I'm not an Ambien person. I prefer Lunesta which has smaller duration of effect (~4 hours as opposed to Ambien's ~8), so less chance of oddness.

I heard people saying bizarre stuff while in Amiens too.

A lot of that depends on who holds the city, though.

 :hmm: Macron I guess, though he is only really popular in the bourgeois parts.

How is calling someone an ape racist?  We're all apes, after all.

No, Hominids are primates, Apes are primates.  All Hominids are primates, not all primates are Hominids.

While some systems list Apes as Hominids, even with this it is still not right that humans are apes.  Humans are Hominids, Apes are Hominids but Humans are not apes (nor are they other hominids)
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

:yeahright: What systems don't put apes as in the Homindae family?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

There are still some conservative taxonomies out there that have apes and hominids coming from a common ancestor but splitting into distinct groups.
