What’s with the Hewlett Packard Enterprises badging at the top?

Yeah, I don’t think I have anybody that comes by my house outside of the people I live with. I don’t think it’s weird at all that somebody could be dead for a week before being noticed.

Even if these are drivebys, thats a whole lot of people standing around in the street where it happens

They’re also counting people who can hear it, so that’s a few blocks worth of people indoors and out.

They’ve had the ability to garnish your bank accounts, but there are restrictions on when and how they can do that. The only thing stopping the government from accessing your bank account is the law.

Right now, there’s not a lot keeping Musk/Trump from breaking the law.

There is no way you can convince me that gentrification is actually good for kids. Property tax funding education does nothing but punish poor families.

Yes, stop protesting if you aren’t willing to protest the right way. There are no steps to be taken in the right direction, you’re either perfect or worthless.

I hated them as soon as I figured out that they were taking material from the public domain, and trying to deny other people the right to use the same public domain material. I think I was in middle school when I ran into their copyright bullshit with my Little Mermaid fanfic after I read the Andersen version.

When has art ever been objective?

They grew up getting their heads shoved into toilets, and are now eager to shove somebody else’s head into the toilet. I’m in my mid-30s, and I absolutely remember the teachers turning a blind eye to a bunch of kids ganging up on me with sticks in middle school, only to get detention for hitting them back with the book of arthurian legends I was trying to read.

We basically got taught that bullying is a good thing the strong do to the weak, and it fucked up multiple generations.

Instead of being blinded by feelings, we need to start working together to craft new narratives for the results we actually want. It’s not even that hard to do.

Bingo.

I once got somebody to think differently about green energy by harassing the power of patriotism. His initial argument basically boiled down to “new is scary and I don’t see why we need to change anyways”, and I hit him with a “what are you talking about, innovation is what made america great”, and I could see the loading icon spin in his brain.

I’ve also gotten conservative family in on medicare-for-all by pointing out that the military maybe doesn’t have enough healthy citizens to pull from if a crisis happened, and if we’re gonna be serious about national defense, we absolutely need national healthcare.

I don’t know whether entheogen was the material in question.

En-theo-gen, where ‘theo’ is the same as ‘theology’, roughly means ‘to commune with god’, so it’s any psychoactive substance used religiously. It covers everything from the wine in christian communion to a witch’s psychoactive sybian, haha.

Forgot to thank you for the clearly knowledgeable response!

Any time!

I’m pretty sure him wanting to send ADHD people there are why he’s not calling them concentration camps.

I’d fess up about it. You were acting irrationally, and it’s going to be better to hear the confession from you, and not learning about this because somebody on IG reached out to him. Because it was a livestream, you can’t really hide it anyways, there’s receipts.

This is honestly the sort of stuff that therapy is really good for, but I know therapy can be inaccessible, so no hate if it’s not something you can do.

A’ight, girl to girl advice here. I think you’re so afraid that your partner is going to turn into a replica of your ex that you’re willing to nuke the relationship first.

What you’ve said in your post doesn’t really have much to do with your bf. Your ex would compare you to other girls, but has your current bf done that? Your dad would fight with you instead of talking, but does your bf do that?

I just feel like I give so much of myself and my happiness, even faking it all the time, to not feel it in return.

Stop faking it. Worst-case scenerio, people assume you’re acting a certain way to manipulate them, and that’s not really wrong. They can’t read minds, so they don’t know you’re hiding insecurity, they just know you’re hiding something.

You also can’t give out fake and expect genuine in return. I’d be willing to bet that some of the friction you’re feeling is from people trying to fake it back. If you want to trust a partner that trusts you, you can’t have fake getting in the way.

It sounds like a few different things got mashed together there. Ergot is a hallucinogenic fungus that grows on rye, and is speculated to be the cause of some of the witch panics. It’s not the same fungus found in Roquefort, but it is what they use to make LSD.

Witches flying is hypothesized to be entheogen use, since a common side effect is feelings of floating, flying, or otherwise ‘being high’.

Ohio, Oregon, and Oklahoma are gonna have to brawl over who gets the OSU name someday.

Why even cheat on that? The universe has a billion ad examples.

I’m not one of your students, but I do remember how I thought in high school. Both of my parents worked, so I was the one that had to cook dinner and help my little brothers with their homework, then I had multiple hours of my own homework to do.

While I do enjoy analyzing media, the homework I struggled with would get priority. I was the oldest, so I didn’t have anybody to ask for help with questions, and often had to spend a larger amount of time than intended on topics I struggle with. So, I’d waste the whole night struggling with algebra and chemistry, then do the remaining ‘easy’ assignments as quickly and carelessly as possible so I could get to bed before midnight. Getting points knocked off for shoddy work is far preferable to getting a zero for not doing it at all, and if I could get to bed at a reasonable time, I wouldn’t lose points in the morning class for falling asleep.

It just… makes sense to cheat sometimes.

I think the primary problem comes down to there being enough demand for a breed that unscrupulous breeders will stop taking temperament into account in order to produce more puppies.

You never heard about mom having kittens?
