yea just boil that and it’s very tasty and easy to eat

broccoli stems are yummy though

a lot use it for art or porn, or both. i heard Japanese people use twitter as one of their main social media platforms as well

that’s because i started writing it and then deleted it lol

hell yeah to that!

yeah i know, second part of the rant went into how capitalism is shit but i feel like a broken record saying that constantly, it’s true of course, but i want to talk about some other things sometimes too

hehehe, CBT

they absolutely are. Where else can a teen growing up in a religious family and forced to attend church/mosque/temples vent their frustration, and they are definitely going to be edgy about it, that’s what being teen is about after all

lmao that’s the other extreme. I’m just complaining about unnecessary complexity when there is no need for it. It’s tiring to have to keep translating academic back into English, especially when you want to explain the concept to someone who’s having trouble understanding it/is not as familiar with it as you are

goodness, don’t even get me started on law. I had a hard time reading my tenancy agreement, and I know I’m not a stupid person. I’m not saying this to brag, but how is someone, let’s say less intellectually inclined, supposed to deal with that? Sign whatever paper they get told allows them to have shelter and hope they didn’t just sell their firstborn to the landlord?

thank you for your service o7

yeah but, from a design perspective try to analyse it

a super man knock off (good) is giving you a phone (neutral) but he’s crossed off (bad) and has earphones hanging on his neck (why) and there’s a “don’t be distracted” sign (good) but again the superman knockoff is giving you a phone, why is the superhero doing a bad thing here?

the visual language is all over the place. A positive mascot doesn’t fit at all here. This should be a villain offering you the phone & should colour coded appropriately. The Evil Distraction Man shouldn’t look like a superhero, it deeply muddles the intended message

PSA posters are not really a place for trying to subvert audience’s expectations of superman knock off’s moral standing

quick rant

i’m so tired of over the top “intellectual” vocabulary in academia. a lot of concepts could be explained with simple words and would get the point across just as well, or better, and additionally make the conversation more accessible to those outside of a specific field. Why do you need to use big smart words to explain simple things? Is it because it tickles your ego when people need 10 minutes to comprehend one sentence? argh

there’s a good Vsauce video about this!

yeah you should, your body builds up tolerance to it crazy fast! give it a month’s rest and then it’s perfect!

jokes aside, as probably Watts said - once you get the message, hang up the phone. Psychedelics can be both good fun and very insightful, but if you focus solely on the fun part that’s just escapism - and the drugs will likely and bluntly point it out to you

nowhere did i say that calling an asshole an asshole is bad. What i did say that acting like an asshole towards the asshole is bad, as it lowers you to the same level as them, and additionally reinforces the asshole’s behaviour & continues the cycle of assholery

common-ish experience for LSD but when i went through ego death, and i have fallen through the darkness and dissolved into the infinite plane of colours below it - i profoundly understood and felt how there’s unity to all of creation, how everything and everyone is an expression of the universe itself. With no barrier between Me and Not Me, it was as if i temporarily melted back into the fabric of reality

so yeah, ego death, pretty epic, fair warning though - it does feel like you’ve died, and however much you want to freak out about that fact, you have to let go. Also it won’t happen if you want it, wanting is an ego thing after all

not knowing someone’s pronouns & assuming wrong =/= misgendering

knowing someone’s pronouns and intentionally using the wrong ones = misgendering

can be applied to any shitty behaviour tbh. Too many people think that once someone is shitty to them, they have free reign to also be shitty as a payback. They think they gave the asshole a piece of their own medicine, but actually they started rolling in the mud with them

i’m European too, i don’t think it having probably 10%? of actual orange juice makes it much better tbh

counterpoint, America is big, has atrocious public transport, and though furries that can afford suits can probably also afford flights, there’s plenty who cannot afford either, or just pick one
