We get it! The metric system is better! Geez.

Oh, no, don’t. It wasn’t a serious thing, just pointing out the weird 5 to 1, 1 to 5 thing.

Makes sense. Just the:

1: 5 things

2: 4 things

3: 3 things

4: 2 things

5: 1 thing

Throws me off a bit.

It… kind of bothers me the order that is in. Is that on purpose?

Have empathy for the injustices others face. It helps you let go of hate

This is a big one, though I have a more nuanced view.

“That is a fucked up thing and shouldn’t happen to anyone. I couldn’t give two shits about that person in particular because they’re a piece of shit, but what is happening to them is unacceptable.”

That’s how I feel about bad shit happening to horrible people in prison. A serial rapist gets raped in prison? Unacceptable. It shouldn’t be allowed, and everyone responsible should be held to account. However, I lack the necessary empathy to feel for that serial rapist. I try, but there’s a lot of people out there suffering more who did nothing or less that I should care about, and I have a limited amount of care. Doesn’t mean I’m okay woth prison rape, though.

The moon base (and/or moon orbit base) isn’t just cool, it would facilitate building ships in space that don’t have to escape the gravity well. That and asteroid mining (to get materials for ship building) would be such a huge step to having a real presence off-planet.

Mine materials on asteroids, send them to the moon refinery and manufacturing facility, send parts up to lunar orbital ship building facility, send ships to Europa, Ganymede, etc.

Because the animals they are camouflaged from have dichromatic vision, so to those animals they look the same as black and green and blend in well.

Humans are weird in our trichromatic vision, and are not the target of that camouflage.

I heard muthafucka had, like… thirty goddamn dicks.

Bad Moon Rising by Creedence.

It’s about the apocalypse, but you wouldn’t know it from how upbeat it is.

I’ve always wondered about this, because not only are they not mutually exclusive, they don’t really fight unless someone really wants to create an issue.

“It turns out the Earth revolves around the Sun, which in turn rotates around a galactic center.”

“But we’ve been teaching that the Earth is the center of the universe. What will we tell people?”

“Well, we all thought it was the center, but it turns out it wasn’t. Does anything in your religion specifically say we’re the center?”

“No…”

“Then I guess we all found out together. Also, why are you even teaching stuff like that? The movement of celestial bodies seems a weird topic to be discussing in church.”

True art.

Family, Occupation, Relentless existential crisis, Dreams.

That angry/relieved/happy mix would make for an interesting evening for me. I’d eat the lot and feel I deserved it for how they done me dirty, even if I secretly was relieved not to have to go to a big social event.

It’s used for bad things, but there’s nothing wrong with the term and is generally good practice.

Get some sun, but in moderation.

Help people, but in moderation (don’t set yourself on fire to warm others. In other words, practice self-care)

Eat in moderation.

Exercise in moderation.

Play video games in moderation.

Hell, brush your teeth in moderation. Don’t strip the enamel brushing 8 times a day.

Work in moderation.

Doom scroll in moderation. (stay aware, don’t get to the point of crushing sense of despair)

Basically, most things are best practiced in moderation. And if one feels compelled to do harmful things, doing them in moderation can help mitigate the damage.

Are Impossible meats vegan? Because Impossible stuff (ground “beef,” “chicken,” whatever) are delicious. They definitely got me into eating far, far less meat.

There’s a village in Final Fantasy XIV that has that belief. That if a warrior is great enough, they are reborn into the next child born, and that child is raised with the understanding that that is who they are and continue to be. Gender is fairly meaningless to them, too.

I still use PCMCIAs at my job. Had to order a reader. It has been… challenging (particularly getting permissions to connect it to the system, but even finding them is not super easy).

So both are wrong.

The one on the left is too low. It needs to be, at the minimum, at about the rim.

The one on the right is too high. You can’t put a flat lid on it, and if you put a tall lid and it melts even a little, you end up with a mess on your hands. Blizzards aren’t cones with drip rings (the holes in the top of the wafers, which is why they shouldn’t be covered up), they’re supposed to stay in the cup.

I mean… a tiny bit killed Hercules…

The hydra’s blood is incredibly poisonous, though. Hope the… goblins? Orcs?.. figured that one out.
