but then the things added by tubular are so vital that i just switch to newpipe while things are broken

see, what you did here by explaining your sexuality, is how you should approach it in general.
Pick whatever label gets the basic point across (sounds like demisexual is the most apt, but since it’s quite niche to know what it means “ace” might be more useful), and then if anyone actually needs to know the precise details you simply explain it to them like you did here.

The label doesn’t define you, it’s just there to summarize your unique experience.

dude i think the shackles might be having to work to not die

the problem with that is having to turn off your brain, which most of us can’t do

aren’t kernel versions literally vibes based? i recall hearing that Linus just declares a new major version when it feels right.

saw this at the grocery store and tried it, very disappointing. I mean i guess if you like sweet bananas you might enjoy it, but to me it was just like eating sweetened butter and made me nauseous.

i was gonna say “what about pineapple leather” but yeah nope, it’s got PLA in it…

correct, iirc it’s from absurd quantities of cyanobacteria in the oceans around when life got started.

Trees turned into coal, specifically trees from before fungi had evolved to decompose the wood, so it was able to just accumulate.

are you taking the piss or being serious?

if you’re lucky they have colour, yes

If you’re not lucky, it’s just a half-width car lane with a barely visible bike symbol every now and then

californians cutting a single star out of the US flags they own, dying it red, and sewing it onto a white bedsheet with a bear drawn on it

one star gets moved ever so slightly out of position

He wants to try to be human, obviously humans in general fuck as much as possible (he has an excellent role model working near him), and it’s not like he has any reason not to fuck.

Ergo the only reason we don’t see picard rubbing his face in exhaustion as he explains what “discretion” is, is because it’s a TV show and they couldn’t get away with it.
In-universe he’s presumably got enough experience that he puts Fisto to shame.

I just wish people could take one single step back from actively scamming others, if they just cared a little bit they could at least stop actively harming people, and maybe outright help them deal with emotional anguish if nothing else.

Like come on, do they have to promise to cure cancer? How much money would they really lose on simply promising to stop it from getting worse?

the one thing i’ll say about this is that the medical field needs to get better at PR, because that’s what’s holding “alternative medicine” believers back from it. We need to iron out the culture of doctors dismissing people’s experiences and making terrible diagnoses, and make it all feel less clinical.

Grab the counterculture by the balls and legitimize it, put the scam artists out of business by classing things like massage/cupping/acupuncture as a serious therapy you can get as a first stage of treatment, where the (licensed) practitioners are actually educated in medicine and (importantly) psychology.

Because these things aren’t inherently useless, they’re rituals and ways for people to feel like they’re being cared for on a more personal level. It’s not gonna magically cure cancer, but there’s a lot of stuff it could genuinely help treat and absolute worst case it’s something that helps patients feel better and can be a foothold into getting them more serious medical treatment.

We could just add a new base layer to the ladder of medical workers: People whose job is simply to get to know people and help them do things like schedule appointments, understand what the doctors are telling them, and remember to take medicine and such.
I think there’s potential for a huge amount of benefit here, to everyone really. It’d be a new kind of job that would suit many people, it would help those who find medical stuff intimidating, and could ease the workload of higher-educated medical workers.

it’s like telling people to wear a helmet when running, yes technically it’s safer but come the fuck on no one actually thinks it’s a sensible thing to do lmao

it’s the simple fact that having to wear a helmet makes you less likely to ride a bike (because it’s a big extra effort, you have to bring the helmet along and mess with your hair and whatnot).

Society benefits more from people biking as much as possible, than it does from people always wearing a helmet on a bike.

fucking hilarious concept that a road in new york city would become deserted
