that’s what i love psychadelics, they make you stop running away from yourself. when you set yourself up correctly you can do years of therapy in a single night. sometimes it’s a painful process (mentally speaking ofc) but it’s always worth it, always helping you grow

my theory is: psychadelics open your mind to love love makes you more aligned with leftist ideas lemmy is a decentralised place that was popularised by people with leftist ideas leaving other platforms an average lemmy user is more likely to have taken psychadelics than the average twitter user

so America actually does what my anxiety disorder used to tell me would happen? guys you live in hell

thank you for giving me a great torture idea for all my IT adjacent friends, from now on i'll be pronouncing all binary as if it were one number (up until i can't be bothered anymore)

handholding 😳

and also we don’t hold back our emotions for them!

nono they don’t know that bro is, only bro knows that bro is

tiktok may be a new app but it will spy on you the most :) it fuelled itself by using the money they got from selling your data to advertise itself in every spare pixel of the internet no app with an ethical TOS & other acronyms could rise to the top like that. even word of mouth is slowly dying, there's too much white noise around (bots)

tbf an argument that isn't turn based would either get boring quickly (because incomprehensible) or devolve into an actual fist fight

ew an ad

strange thing to hear from the mimecraft youtuber MumboJumbo (idc if you are him or not, i read this comment in his voice and this is the reality i choose to believe in)

if Aang had to kill Ozai he wouldn’t be smiling and waving after Zuko’s coronation, he most likely wouldn’t even decide to try again with Katara, the story would be forced to turn very dark, very fast, and would need to be given time and space to breathe final minutes of the last episode are not the time to have a character break their core values, not without a season’s worth of set up to get you to that point

the thing is- Aang himself understands that his strict adherence to his values is not always a positive thing, i remember in one of the comics (or a later season) he outright calls it his own flaw if not for the lion turtle giving him an alternative moments before, he’d have to either kill, or watch the world be destroyed he later has to face that flaw again (actually this time) in the big graphic novels that came out, they’re really good btw. give them a read if you have the time to spare

i always use this as an example of how deeply the languages we use shape how we understand the world even the answer to the question “how many fingers do you have?” changes depending on the language, and that’s a physical fact that seems to not have any degree of subjectivity to it

so this obviously isn’t a real worksheet but, it annoys me how people seem to think that children are stupid, or incapable of picking up or understanding vocabulary that is all around them. simplyfing a concept doesn’t always result in a simpler concept, quite often it just becomes incoherent and meaningless. if a child can read (or is learning to read) then they understand the concept of “decoration”, hell, throw “baubles” at them, if they ask “what’s this?” just explain, it’s the perfect exercise for that kind of thing, tell them what it is, and then watch them engage with the idea for the next 10-15min as they doodle

isn’t china struggling with deflation nowadays, though? they can afford things perfectly well, they just don’t do it (correct me if i’m wrong i know fuck all about economics)

the TV is big and slow, a computer, more nimble, can outrun the ads, the TV is too slow to even attempt dodging

Eve was made from a man’s rib, so in a way at first she was a clone of his flesh, XY chromosomes and all. The bible does not elaborate on how the abrahamic god made her into a woman, she was able to bear children so there was definitely a change made to the “original” masculine reproductive system, but we don’t know at what stage of her becoming a being that occured. Either way though - Adam’s rib was transed by god themself into a woman. now i’m wondering how all the christian terfs would react if someone said that trans women are actually the original women

i’m european though

we live in a world where people say stuff like that and mean it, the /s is just so for once we can be sure

i’m 3.5
