I have a cousin who’s vegan and I was legit curious about this, and she literally said exactly that - “the bees can leave if they want”, but from what I understand there are other vegans who disagree

Google narcissistic collapse

Oh god it would be HILARIOUS if that was happening to him, I’d be so happy

I’m all in favor of legalizing weed, and in fact I would like to abolish the prescription system in it’s entirety, however, I do think that the rhetoric of pro-weed ppl treats it like it’s entirely harmless, which is a dangerous sentiment.

I went through some serious symptoms from long term use. The hemispheres of my brain split into 2 different ppl, my body’s sense of propioception got all fucked up, and I threw up a whole lot. Not fun. And my memory basically was shot from use, that lasted even after I stopped using. I originally started bc I couldn’t afford to see a psychiatrist and I needed antidepressants, it was the closest thing I could get (abolish the fking prescription system). I had no idea that it had any long term effects, the way ppl talk you think it’s only good. I mean I’m sure everyone’s different, but ppl at least need a warning abt that sort of shit.

Why you say nun but not use the nun emoji 🧕🏻

Keep in mind Mexico has far laxer border security especially if crossing by land (they didn’t even check my passport). So don’t get discouraged if Canada turns you away, though there is a slight language barrier with Mexico (nothing translator apps can’t handle, and a lot of the words are the same due to the etymology)

Personality I’m already out bc I figure the US is just going to gradually get worse and I’d much rather apply for a visa than asylum

Apply for visas now. Pack your bug out bag and be ready to drive to Mexico on a moments notice. Better 10 years too early than a day too late

This was a half joke, the lack of male role model being solved by transitioning is kinda incidental, though it may have played a role because I didn’t identify with what I observed as the “male role”

I never had a good male role model growing up, so instead of being an asshole like my dad or anyone from church I just transitioned

I once tried to fall asleep to erotica on the theory that I’d have erotic dreams instead of nightmares but I couldn’t fall asleep so I listened to my sex playlist instead

Actually, earthquake magnitude can be projected to negative numbers. It’s well defined but it stops describing earthquakes. For instance, a -3 magnitude earthquake is the energy released by a cat knocking your cell phone off of a nightstand. (see page 290 of this book). Pretty sure the others are also logarithmic scales which are well-defined for any negative number. It just so happens that those negative numbers don’t describe anything we care to describe with those scales.

Nonlinear measures are used for

1. Brightness of lights
2. Loudness of noises
3. Magnitude of earthquakes

Why not temperature?

Oh so cool! Are you native Morocco, or just visiting? I hear people there are so nice

Well, online English speaking communities are gonna have a bias towards native English speakers. Obviously some will browse these communities because they’re the largest, but while machine translation makes communication much easier, it’s still more difficult than with speakers of your own language. And most native English speakers who aren’t also native speakers of a language mutually intelligible with Hindi live in north America. (I’m excluding South Asia because a sizable fraction of the online South Asian communities communicate in the pre-colonization languages, mostly Hindi). Most such people have a shared cultural heritage that is largely European with a British slant.

When you think about it it’s not an unreasonable question, when you interpret it to be asking how many of us are outside of the cultural influence of the anglosphere

Oof, get well soon!

Yeah I went out, pretty much everything was open except for the street vendor I normally get my oranges from. I guess Christmas just isn’t as big a deal in China as it was back home - still saw Christmas decorations at a handful of stores and restaurants - my tea said on the cup “Merry Christmas” and had an explanation of what Christmas was on the back lol

I still feel bad about the one time I didn’t return a shopping cart.

A creepy guy was hitting on me and wouldn’t take no for an answer, didn’t feel safe to go anywhere but in my car and the fuck out of there.

Gandhi was a UK agent and delayed Indian independence by decades. Also he was a pedophile.
