This is like a quintessential meme, what on earth do you think a meme is?

It’s so calorie dense!

Notice the first guy is in a wooden boat and the second guy is in a boat most likely made out of some plastic-based fibers. 🤔

Well, depression/anxiety is spending your time agonizing about it and not doing it. Most people are doing this to some extent they just have brains that don’t have them dwelling on it all day. I have friends of all sorts who casually lament not reading or not picking up an instrument. Some are depressed some aren’t.

The edges curve in 3d space, but not relative to the sphere.

A natural progression historically. If war ever ends for Israel netanyahu and a lot of his regime will face massive consequences. As is the fascist playbook, the state must now constantly be at war

Not me, but it would be fun to live 3 times.

Tom Scott was a good YouTuber because his ego was able to handle him voluntarily stepping down.

I think romance in fiction is really hard to do well because you somehow have to get across the fact that every romance is different, unique, and often doesn’t make too much sense except to the people involved.

A “realistic” romance can be realistic to the author but be filled with very idiotic choices that makes the reader find the romance not realistic at all

Similarly, an “ideal” romance might be written as perfect for the author and certain readers feel it’s the least romantic thing in the world.

This looks like a lose-lose but all I’m trying to say is that regardless of what you pick, to me, the most important aspect is getting across that this relationship is entirely between the two characters and difficult to get across to the reader. That’s why, to me, romances in stories often work when they aren’t the main plot as it lets the reader fill in the gaps of how that romance evolved.

Based on what I understand about life, it’s probably microscopic extremophiles that decided hell was a good place to start reproducing.

Capitalism is a form of economic organization, fascism is a form of government (or just a form of social control), antithetical to democracy or socialism.

Well of course, it’s dabbing.

Because they’re perfectionists about their work and the way they cope with the anxiety is by abandoning the projects and burying themselves in their phones all day.

In my experience Adderall also gave me depression++ when I would come down at night.

You didn’t answer the question.

How on earth would what I said imply that Al Jazeera knew that October 7th was going to happen lol. There’s been threats of war between the two for decades.

I’m sure al Jazeera would have said the US has been trying to prevent an Israeli-Palestine war before the conflict happened. We can see what happened with that.

Wife wants coke, a brick of hash, bottle of pills, some meat and some sausage. Kid wants a sandwich and some ciggies.

On authority is used to justify the fact that many communist movements of the past turned into brutal dictatorships and that “it’s fine actually that mao starved half of China because you can’t have a revolution without being authoritarian”.

The actual paper is short and kind of stupid. What Engels was arguing in that short essay with a ridiculously outsized influence was that he was technically correct (the best kind) that anarchists are silly because any type of government someone could propose inevitably involves one person imposing their will on another like your quote says.

Really what Engels (who was a prominent communist thinker) was doing was fucking up any attempts at communist organization because now 1/3 of communists think that brutal authoritarianism is based and necessary for a revolution.
