Precisely this. Not to mention your premise about reproducing fails when placed in front of a large majority of the queer community. Childless gay man here, by choice. I am extremely pleased, some may even say fulfilled, with my choice to not reproduce.
Im the sole IT guy at a non profit. I could probably have a movie playing, but if power shell is open I’m covered. It’s hilarious and glorious.
I can be, but am not always. I actually find niceness to be a highly overvalued character trait. Some of the most back stabbing, manipulative, wishy washy, fake people I have ever known were incredibly nice. In fact, they used their niceness as a shield and mask for their awful character traits. Took a long time to realize that niceness is not so important. Far more important are loyalty, reliability, willingness to admit fault, willingness to listen, and so on. Niceness is just basic human civility. I don’t care how nice you are if you are a manipulative and fake.
It’s about as annoying as young people abandoning any and all punctuation entirely. The amount of people that will write an entire paragraph and not use a single period is obscene. If you can’t bother to organize your thoughts in the most minimal way, I’m going to assume you have nothing of worth to say and just won’t read it. And frankly, if what you’re saying is so boiler plate you don’t need punctuation, then you really don’t have anything to add, so probably just shouldn’t.
No
Thanks for sharing this, super interesting.
What must it be like? To be so immensely mediocre, and think you are ordained by a deity? I imagine it’s actually a lot scarier than they lead on. And that’s why they freak out about literally nothing. They have no idea what the fuck is going on around them, but they are just aware enough to know those around them expect them to lead. They are dumb animals acting out of pure flight instincts, but they’re privileged enough that the systems around them won’t let them fail. It’s hilarious and maddening.
There was a point I was convinced he would never be charged for anything. It’s not enough, but it’s still much better than the worst case scenario, so I’ll take it.
Totally agreed!
I agree with this entirely, but I think the missing context is the mental health of our admins. Not to mention the sheer number of hours of unpaid labor they do, they are subjected to some heinous things. I don’t want them to sacrifice themselves for us. I will follow beehaw if they leave, I already have another lemmy account to see a wider scope of the fediverse, but beehaw is too special to abandon.
Absolutely. It’s all so calculated, that there is suddenly a surge in popularity for a woman candidate. They can espouse all of their typical anti-social policies all while hiding behind claims of modernity. The murdochs are savvy, even if she ends up the vp on trump’s ticket, she is something they can always point to as a reason that republicans aren’t archaic monsters. And their voters will believe it and use it as their own shield.
Had the same response. The headline itself reeks of spin.
“While Hubble images took 122 hours to produce, JWST’s — collected nine years after Hubble’s — took just 22 hours.” That tidbit is crazy to me. Really, the whole thing is crazy to me.
Never. That is a position for the naive.
My thoughts exactly. Do downvotes offend you that much? Like, who cares? Just use whatever you want. This is the internet, it’s not that serious.
Explains a lot. We have all seen people treat their religion exactly like a drug addict treats the substance they abuse.
" "And that the participants may have self-reporting heightened spiritual feelings “out of a desire to appear more socially consistent with the aims of the study”. "
This part was super interesting to me. If that’s the case, they are getting the hit of dopamine from social rewards, which belonging to a religion and performing religion would also provide. Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing!
For real. What a terribly written piece. It reads like someone trying to hit a high word count.
Wow what incredibly lucky friends you have! This is going to be a delicious meal, let us know how it turns out!
Raw by Lindsay Lohan. I know it may seem like a joke, but I really like the tone of her voice, and that album has some catchy tunes on it.
