  Posts like these are rarely the ones in which pro-Israeli people make their stance. Same with all the articles about them killing kids on purpose.

  “Israel has a right to defend itself” doesn’t mean they’re allowed to commit genocide.

  Fuck Israel

  No.

  I’m saying that they’ve understand someone smoking weed isn’t doing anything more harmful than drinking beer. Both can become issues, but usually don’t and takes a lot for them to actually matter.

  Alcohol use disorder and substance abuse isn’t diagnosable from “I like cannabis because it helps with my nausea” while just having proved for months you cam go without it.

  The 60 year near retirees still actually buy into all that feeder madness bullshit and any mention of using cannabis gets your markers as an incurable substance abuser.

  You think I exaggerate, but I I’ve tons of these on tapes. In Finnish though

  A lot of the older psychiatrist I know seem rather unwell. Like not unstable, but not well. So I don’t wonder that one eventually snapped.

  The younger ones, the ones okay with cannabis, seem like they don’t have as much issues. But it might just be lack of being worn down who knows.

  Very kind of you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ugh i wish⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure man, but I’m a pedant with a shit sense of humour and I like to point out myths that may or may not be actually relevant if it “came down to it.” And unlike in the movies where you just spray some whisky on a wound, alcohol isn’t a magical get-rid-of-all-chance-of-infection when it’s in levels of like <50%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ugh i wish⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if you do 95% everclear (which we don’t even have in the EU, we’d fucking kill ourselves with that shit), you’d still only get 47.5% alcohol with the rest being milk, which is not enough to sterilise it.

  Like above 42% will kill a lot of stuff in it, but it’s not enough to sterilise it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ugh i wish⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you get a liquid that’d roughly 20% alcohol and mostly milk?

  Yeah that’s not gonna do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BACK IT UP⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it is. And even moreso here in the Nordics.

  I take a vitamin D supplement every day. Especially in the winter.

  I quickly googled and a Finnish article says that during summertime, wearing just shorts, you can get your daily amount half an hour. But that’s midsummer sun and midday.

  But in countries where it’s more intense…

  Anyway, supplementation is definitely necessary for most people, especially during winter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BACK IT UP⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I know it’s Vitamin D you get from the sun, but for instance exposing yourself to sun that requires sun lotion, you’re still getting all the vitamin D you can use.

  Idk this might be a bullshit stat, but here in Finland you here all sorts of things about vitamin D and sunshine, so iirc, I think like 15 minutes in the sun already gives you your daily dose of vitamin D.

  So it’s not exactly a good reason to lift the lockdown when people can just go out to walk their dog and have all the benefits that one can get from the sun. It’s not like sun worshipping yourself until you look like a two-day old hotdog is anything healthy. The sort of tanning RFK JR seems to have practiced. I had a friend (woman) who just loved suntanning. Like crazy much. And smokes. She wasn’t too bad looking when I worked with her, but god she’s gonna look like wrinkled leather in 10 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BACK IT UP⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s like the FDA having just reasonable guidelines on how much UV you can safely be exposed to. RFKJR prolly thinks sun lotion prevents all the healthiness from the sun and crystallises your amygdala or something along those lines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear lord⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  God a writing prompt I’m no writer but I’m drunk noooo.

  I’m getting all sorts of ideas but again as I am no writer, I don’t know how well I’m gonna get them down.

  But has anyone seen the Dr Who episode “Flatline”? >!2D beings invading a 3d space, basically.!< youtu.be/ll_UhrQMC-I

  I think a mushroom would somehow evolve or “learn” to use electronics. Like accidentally being near a switch in the lab the mushroom grows in, and it’s near the switch for lights for plants in the lab. And the mushroom feeds on the plants. The lab is abandoned or it’s a fault the fungi gets near the switch or some such hijinks, but through that it learns benefits for electrical manipulation, even though it doesn’t actually know what it’s doing. It just knows it happened to manipulate electrics in some way, and the way it did it, it got more food.

  This leads it to being “curious” about other electronics it faces (let’s say this is a mushroom in an abandoned robotics lab or something) and eventually it learns to manipulate a robot and through that, it learns to sense our world, of which it has no idea, except for the feedback it gets from the robots sensors, which it doesn’t fundamentally understand.

  So it is the sentience, but mushroom sentiences are fucking weird.

  I’d watch the shit out of what I imagine it to be. But since I have a hard time actually translating that into a movie myself to show you, you’re just gonna have to trust me. In like 5 years I’d be able to just show you through having an EEG BCI read my thoughts while writing this and having an AI translate it to a movie. But that’s only if we weren’t busy with destroying the world and no chance tech like that isn’t gonna be so proprietary that I wouldn’t have already been sanctioned with some shocks for violating intellectual property rights or something.

  Thanks for the prompt, enjoy the incoherent comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s sounds like “bad”, but with a shorter “a”, so like “had”

  Although I guess “bade” is used nowadays as well don’t know how erroneous it’s considered to be.

  You can here people use it here

  www.playphrase.me/#/search?q=I+bade&pos=4

  Seemingly Americans in those clips say “bade” (rhyming with “made”) but Brits say “bade” (rhymes with “had”)

  Take literally any scientific idea and you can easily imagine a conservative mocking it.

  “They want to male a huge bomb, sit on it, and go to space!”

  “They’re looking at mold from their days old sandwiches and call it science!”

  I tried googling whether penicillin was mocked “pencillin was mocked as stupid” just out of interest. The third result (or first after “people also ask”) on Google, The Stupid Reason That Elon Musk Is Complaining About Scientists Spraying Bobcat Urine on Alcoholic Rats

  Around and around and around

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's fire... Maybe concerning but fire still⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well we have long winters. That shit has an effect on humans who stay at these latitudes for longer times. In every sense, evolutionarily (light skin, blue eyes), culturally (we’re introverted as fuck) and personally (if you don’t supplement vitamins properly, mainly D, you will get at least slight changes to mood and whatnot).

  I’d like to visit some actually Southern place, like in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Africa or Southern Asia or Australia. First to just see a proper sunset. Secondly, to see whether not everyone is as much of a dick as people I generally have lived around all my life.

  Yeah when I googled it it was lots of opinions and this is from looking at 20 years of wear on them.

  So they’re at least somewhat equal, I would say. Some might argue better. Some would not.

  But definitely did make me feel alright about the prospect of having to replace a tooth or several.

  Not just significant, I’m pretty sure the loss in value is some sort of a record, for real.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're not going to terraform Mars, but we're doing a good job of venusforming Earth.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The term translates horribly into Finnish: “maankaltaistaminen”. “To make like Earth/ground/dirt” and “make like” as in “type”, not “form”.

  So it could be like “earthlikening” instead of “terraforming”.

  Which makes me think of this Wikipedia that’s written in the way they imagine English could’ve evolved if it wasn’t influenced by Latin.

  anglish.fandom.com/wiki/Main_leaf

  for instance their article on maths starts with:

  Telcraft (scorelore, rimecraft or reckonlore) (English: Mathematics) is the smeying of scorings, or the recking of begrips such as score, room, shift, and forebuilding. Benjamin Peirce called it “the cunning which draws needful outcomes”.

  Through foredeeming and wordlock mulling, scorelore arose from notching, reckoning, deeming, and the learning of sheathes and shapes.

  Knowledge and note of fern scorelore have always been a spanning and a needful lifetool, as can be witnessed from orshafts of Egypt, Bearithland, Indland, China and Frodland. Furthermore, the Ishango bone is more than 20 thousand years old.

  Titillating, isn’t it?

  And we can also slightly move our ears a tiny amount, but I’m sure even that does increase accuracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Thread] Mental Math⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And they can even do that in sync with thousands (and even millions) of other small birds.
