Well there are red pandas. I’ve always wanted to cuddle one

Yeah, I have Netflix and YouTube (God please don’t inundate my inbox with ways to get around the YouTube ads. 1. I’m tech illiterate and 2. At least some of that goes to the creators I want to support)

It’s funny to me cuz I confronted my parents priest as I was getting skeptical about religion in my mind 20s. I specifically brought up not believing Mary could be a virgin, and his response was “it’s in the Bible, just go read it!” MF that’s why I’m here, I already read the damn thing.

I wish this were the norm for bangs. Every fucking time I go in with pictures, explain with my widows peak and cowlick on one side it doesn’t take much, and they still cut off too much and I’m stuck growing it all back out for the next year before trying again >.<

Like half of Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless. So what point exactly are you making? That you’re morally superior for being better off? Or that we should wait until we have at least two paychecks saved? You have all the answers?

Just a friendly reminder there are therapists that work pro bono or for discounted rates. I’m paying $60/ session without insurance and it’s an investment for my mental health, future relationships and career.

Technically there are plenty enough resources to help, we just don’t adequately distribute them. Jeff bezos has like 4 condos in NYC alone iirc, (or maybe that’s musk) but he definitely also has a mansion with 24 fucking bathrooms.

I thought the “benefits” to honey were kinda more for kids >1 so they can be exposed to different types of pollen. I dunno if it actually helps with immunity to allergies in the same way, but iirc it’s similar with peanuts. Kids exposed to them young are much less likely to develop allergies to them

I promise you don’t have evidence that would sway me.

Oh no I didn’t mean I haven’t been asked by mortals. Are you claiming to be God?

Huh. I don’t recall being asked if I want to die

Interesting, so who created the fruit of knowledge? Who then decided that we would die and feel pain? Who flooded the earth? Who took up a bet to torture job? And that’s barely scraping the old testament

Meanwhile, who offered food and water to a starving madman in the desert?

Omg I love rearranging furniture. I feel so validated

Treat yo self!

This is weird, I’ve heard the opposite that dry food is better. Lord help me I’m goin on a Google fest.

Can’t cosmetic surgeries can range from things like circumcision, fixing a deviated septum, and something like botox? They’re often not seen as “necessary,” but they can be recommended to improve quality of life. I think this gets conflated because maybe breast implants do drastically improve someone’s quality of life, but doctors (I think) should err on the side of having a patient wait for more permanent procedures. It’s still between the doctor and patient, ultimately, but in cases where a kid can’t consent there can be valid arguments. I don’t think circumcision meets that threshold a majority of the time, and even when it does it can usually wait.

I encourage you to look at experiments with kids involving altruism. The research suggests much of our fucked up nature is rather learned through the environment. The more we improve our environment, the more we’ll likely see that altruism shine through. Not to say psychopaths don’t exist, but they are extremely rare, and research demonstrates that they can live relatively well without acting on their impulses with proper treatment, too.

Idk, the romantic in me likes the idea commitment like that and celebrating having found someone with friends and family 🥲

Yeh. I will say I’ve heard there’s like over a thousand benefits the government affords married people ranging from taxes to visiting in the hospital, etc. So back to the original point that if the government didn’t incentivize it then what would be the point?

Yeh but not at the same time as others. Unless it’s an atomic bomb?
