KKKopmala ‘bomber’ Harris

I mean I have a family member who is a famous professor, and they often participates in PhD defences around the world. They have a lot of negative stuff to say about Chinese academics. Says they’re incredibly dogmatic and rigid in their approach to writing and making PhDs, they barely do anything new, but are instead following a pre-planned path set for them by their mentor. Like they don’t really do any new research for PhDs, is their experience.

On the other hand China built a hospital in 7 days and 10s of thousands of miles of high speed rail, so maybe the Chinese are doing something right.

We really need him as an emote

Hey you’re very welcome and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this.

I imagine Metallica aren’t referencing the poem, but the Hemingway novel of the same name. The novel starts out with referencing this poem though, which is a kind of fun 1-2. Maybe that novel is what changed the idea of “for whom the bell tolls”?

I had a week in the mountains where I had no internet connection and did hard physical tasks for 10 hours a day every day.
I’d never felt happier. Still had ADHD though, because it’s not an illness, it doesn’t need to be cured and it can’t.
It also helped the physical tasks where things like hiking, skiing, chopping wood, climbing, and other like things that are fun

The neurodivergents… They yearn for the hills

What did us in, the rock stacking thread or power dynamics?

US life expectancy: 76.33 years Chinese life expectancy: 78.21 years

I tried to find a qol-index, but its all propaganda. Very vibes-based. It ranked the US 12th, which is crazy (if you don’t think so, then read this report )

Yeah lmao, read the UN report on quality of life in the US. It’s harrowing

Yeah I guess a way you could think of the medicine is as a sort of auto-masker. It does a lot of the work for you

Yeah its one of my favorite poems, so kind

To the last bit about rejoicing when ships return home safely, I ma reminded of a poem by some old English dude:

No man is an island,
Entire of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less,
As well as if a promontory were:
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were.

Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

Yes, they have helped immensely. I have to spend much less energy holding myself back from interrupting others, I am much less likely to get sensory overload, I am much better at listening, I am much better at keeping a conversation that NT people can follow along with, I am less tired after social interactions because I have to do less work and I second-guess myself much less after

Repeating myself for the nth time: People aren’t abstaining from voting due to a single issue (genocide). They are abstaining from voting because none of the many issues they find relevant (handling climate change, COVID, the housing market, minimum wage, rampant and systemic racism, overfunding of police, warmongering, medicare for all, combating corruption, the rise of fascism, not being insane wrt border policy, the right to abortion, bodily autonomy, queer rights, labour rights, etc.) are being handled at all, but as long as the democrats aren’t committing a genocide, then theres still a reason to vote for them. Now that they are, there’s no reason to vote for them.

It’s not a single issue. This issue is just what broke the back of a very tired camel. Not doing genocide is a bare minimum which the democratic party cannot fulfill.

No I do not remember that happening 👁️

How would you go about organizing this, o wise one?

Yeah there’s a lot of good stuff in there
But over the years there’s also come a lot of cringe in it too

All of these rules go out the window when you’re a (hetero) lady, and I do not know what lesbians are into (apart from flannel apparently), so I won’t deign to pretend.

She’s in a bit of a dilemma: Don’t pick hilldawg and get sabotaged, pick hilldawg and

It is relatively intuitive lol, but a lot of people think they should have five super close selfies for some reason.
Other sins:

• Person who has recently found their “good angle” so all photos is them from the same distance in the same lighting at the same angle, but in different outfits/locations.
• oops, all group photos! (Only acceptable if you’re on the polycules profile).
• Grumpy cat! Remember to smile.
• Grumpy Cat! No one wants to see your stale memes, they wanna see you.
• Do y’all got anymore of them jay pegs? Grainy-ass photo of you is no good.

Sexy/silly picture is also optional, forgot to mention that. You have to have one, but you don’t need to have both.
