Leave my country, buy an old decrepit spooky mansion in a non-Western country, and spend the rest of my days pretending to be a ghost whilst using the remaining funds for small acts of charity for the nearest town/village. I wanna see if I can create a legend.
rampant bullying, a society that glorifies violence and consistently downplays the horrors that linger after violence occurs, easy access to firearms, and a brain that is too fresh, new and full of hormones to be trusted with rational decision-making.
Take your pick.
honestly that’s fine, I’m pretty sure the ethics boards have agreed you’re allowed a lil bit of contempt for your lab ra- I mean test subjects.
I mean it’s a surefire way to get my, but ymmv
fr, oh to live such a privileged life that the worst noise pollution you have to deal with is fireworks a couple of times per year.
Maybe it’s my psych degree, but I refuse to believe that any human is completely irredeemable. While many mental illnesses cannot be ‘cured’ in a traditional sense, they can be treated and even incredibly dangerous people can heal. When you kill someone, you remove their chance to heal forever.
There’s just no excuse for capital punishment. It’s a vile practice done for the benefit of other people’s perverted sense of justice.
Best guess is slow growth that eventually plateaus around maybe the 10% mark if we’re lucky.
People are slaves to comfort, and ultimately that is what Microsoft and Apple are trying to sell. They want something that idiots can’t break, and they know the best way to do that is lock down the OS so much that you’re hardly able to interact with it at all. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of people fundamentally unwilling to expend the very, very small modicum of brainpower necessary to use Linux these days, and I just don’t think there’s any chance of reaching them.
oh Big Data fucks.
so far my cats have watched Inuyasha, Bleach, the One Piece 4kids dub, and Ranma 1/2. Considering they seem just as happy watching the TV’s demo reel, I think they just enjoy the lights and colors. It’s some enrichment in their environment though, so I always try to put something on for them if I’m gonna be out of the house for a chunk of time.
what if we kept the animals in a big dome
There was a brief time when Tommy Chong was on a band under the name “4 N*'s and a C*,” and every now and again I remember that fact and think “What the actual fuck was he thinking.”
I’m wondering if there’s any way I can pass myself off as too gay to serve without getting slaughtered by the regime
looks like she’s winning to me
this may come as a shock, but things have dramatically changed in the last 105 years
I dunno if it was the best, but the pizza that lives in my memory was a whopping 24" pizza from a local place. That’s over 450 square inches of 'za, or 11 square meters for the Europeans.
It was glorious, and took four incredibly high stoners about a day and a half to work through.
and what’s wrong with that!
I’m talking from a US perspective, but I work in an education adjacent field that reviews a lot of homeschool student’s academic records from across the country. IMO, there are two types of homeschoolers. There’s the students who are truly brilliant living in a part of the country that doesn’t value education, and they’re practically forced into homeschooling (or a popular online program like Stanford Online High School) in order to receive an actual education that could challenge them. They do get less socialization than their traditional schooled peers, but they’d get mercilessly bullied at a traditional school so it’s hard to say how much value that socialization has.
The other type are the religious fundies. I have even more hands-on experience with this style, as some of my cousins were homeschooled in this manner. IMO, this shit should be illegal. It’s accepted because someone is typically monitoring these students’ academic progress, but I can say with confidence that Republican states are letting a lot of shit slide. It’s religious indoctrination at a level beyond what you would even find at a religious private school. Typically, these students are better socialized than the other homeschool students, though with the caveat that all their socialization happens in religious settings.
I’m about to take a super shit on the villain of the week
don’t let the others get you down, wanting to lick/bite is perfectly normal bottom behavior
hahahahaha you think we have the fucking luxury of looking.
no, I buy the absolute cheapest food available to me because it is what I can afford. I take the food that the food pantry gives me because it is what they can give. If I can meet my daily caloric intake needs for the day, I call that a win. I typically do not get to.
