How people can look at (mostly) state owned rail vs private airlines and still think the free market benefits the average person is one of life’s big mysteries to me.

Traveling [place] implies you’re seeing a large enough portion of it to be representative to all of [place]. That’s what this is making fun of. Nobody says ‘im travelling the US’ when theyre just going to NYC and Florida. At most they’d say they’re going TO the US. That’s just what those respective phrasings imply. The meme isn’t ripping on not travelling or not travelling everywhere.

I threw a like 2x2x2 cm chunk of lithium in water once and the reaction is much weaker than a mint on some cola. So if anything, it’ll be the electric shorting that causes a reaction, the lithium won’t be all that interesting.

I have a darkish friend

How did it take until this to for me to realise this is a troll

The psychologist who did like a shortened test on me actually recommended against going further and also getting diagnosed by a psychiatrist if I don’t want any official support. Just not worth a lifetime of discrimination within the medical system. I’m noticing it happening with my ADHD diagnosis. That one’s worth the discrimination though, since the treatment is a life saver (potentially literally).

You’re just afraid she’ll like it too much. My partners pecs look great in a bra.

I mean, it’s not just herd mentality. I’m just not willing to lock myself out of relationships because of my principles. It’s not my fault my mum can’t be convinced to ditch Whatsapp for signal. Not willing to give up communication with her.

Herd mentality would be if you did a thing because others do it even if there wouldn’t be any loss from switching to a better thing. It’s more complex if you’d lose out a great deal from the switch.

Hate when my sims come to life

Yes, thanks for adding :) but there’s industries where the minimum wage is still under 10€.

I live in Austria, where it’s not even quite as nice (well, similar benefits, but no federal minimum wage). It’s deeply engrained in our culture that education doesn’t have to be prep for a job. I personally know many people who pursue or have completed uni education that’s completely unrelated to their like of work. Some have degrees in other areas, some don’t. We have some pretty ‘bad’ statistics for how long People take to finish their degrees because people are, like, full time kindergarten teachers and taking 10 years to do a political science degree on the side purely because it interests them. People value education for its own sake and I love it. Unfortunately though, capitalism has this culture on the decline, and not even that long after education became open to most people.

Yesss, pet peeve of mine too! I have D or E cups, and they’re pretty small, medium at best. Theyre pretty much exactly a hand full. A thick jumper almost completely hides them. Cup size without knowing the band size means jack.

Why not just drink it black then? To be fair, creamer isn’t a thing where I’m from.

One time my French teacher came into the statistics crash course I was teaching. The uno reverse of learning.

They tried to figure out which one of my sensory issues is tied to which one of my traumata. I’m autistic.

What’d help them most would be adjusting who they’re interested in. It’s easiest to click with someone of a similar age group with a similar amount of relationship experience. Neurodivs also tend to click best with other neurodivs. It’s easiest to meet through a shared hobby or interest- partner and I are both neurodiv and met by nerding out over our respective research projects, at a semi quiet bday event.

Ah, true, sorry!

I really thought meme originated from the French meme, meaning self. I thought ppl used it like me_irl, moi meme. I’m realizing this is based on nothing and I might have totally made it up.

Somehow the funniest part is that this isn’t anywhere near as painful as a bad period, and the pain doesn’t last for days at a time either.

I’d upgrade the depression away from my brain and give myself the ability for hyperfocus at will and to turn off sensory issues. Taking the autism and ADHD away altogether would leave me a different human, idk that almost feels like dying a little bit, or being lobotomized. Wouldn’t want to lose a part of my brain that makes me me. But super valid to want to be neurotypical!

Thinking about it, if it counts as an organ, idk if I wouldn’t rather change my immune system to stop attacking healthy tissue and get better at attacking viruses instead. Tough choice.
