No, my point with “functionally” is that it can be killed.

Biological immortality is a very specific concept indicating an absence of aging and the absence of an increase in expected mortality along with age.

I just mean that something can still eat it. This is an easy concept to understand if you’re not focused on correcting people needlessly.

This is what I mean by functionally.

There is a functional difference between being pedantic about the word “functionally” and supplying relevant information.

My comment indicates that the animal can still die, your comment indicates it doesn’t age.

Do you see the meaningless distinction?

No, I meant functionally. As in practically. For all intents and purposes. As in under normal conditions.

It’s like if I said “You meant ‘searching for’ and not ‘looking for’”, when looking indicates visual searching.

In other words it’s a meaningless distinction in the usage and I would look like a real dickhead pedant if I insisted you use another word.

Hey it’s my first thought on hearing that Boeing satellite “exploded for no reason”.

There is a species of jellyfish which is functionally immortal. When they get too old they simply turn into children again and re-age.

Edit: I’m not saying it’s not biologically immortal, I’m saying functionally immortal because I’m indicating that it can still be killed.

Saying something doesn’t experience aging is not the same as insisting it cannot die.

2+2=4 is not less correct because 2x2 also equals 4.

She has done as much to change the electoral college as you have.

Eagerly awaiting her next 4 year hibernation.

Fill in the blanks then.

Yes but have you considered how this Coverfield attack will affect the team?

He can drop his lawsuit if he likes, but the countersuit isn’t up to him.

Discovery should be interesting

Not even as old as book Frodo going on his adventure

They don’t aspirate when they run, their organs slosh around and just sort of push their lungs enough to keep them alive.

Horses not breathing while running opened a whole new world of anxiety for me.

The Bourne Identity fight choreographer also based his fights on the fights in the movie.

If you’ve ever seen both movies it’s very obvious.

This movie came out in an era of shooting from the hip action stars, and John Cusack and his Kickboxing Instructor put down one of the best movie fights ever.

Also Dan Akroyd’s “POPCORN!” will never make me not laugh.

Why did anyone ever think he was any good? The folksy paintings? The aw-shucks friendship with Michelle Obama?

This dipshit has the blood of millions on his hands. He gave us Alito. He destroyed as much of the administrative state as he could. His CIA daddy stole his election.

Can you imagine our world today if Gore had gotten in?

Fuck Cheney too, he only cares because Trump was mean to his shithead daughter.

At 60 MPH the Hummer EV has the same kinetic energy as a 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback going 120mph.

The “I’m feeling lucky button” was born from those days. I remember the old times, when it worked.

What if reform the classist society? Checkmate Luxemburg.

No, modern polling is mostly useless. The respondents skew heavily in one direction (old people that answer the phone).

There is no sample size big enough to account for a complete cultural shift away from answering phone calls and text messages from people you don’t know.

Most polls report a response rate of about 90%, as reported by a PEW analysis of available studies. However, that is a made up number which does not account for attrition (quitters) or non-response to panel recruitment (no answers). If you include those numbers the real response rate is about 3%. Which means between the initial contact and giving their opinion 97% of people asked don’t participate in a given poll.
