He's a voice actor/lead on lower decks (animated trek show) I liked him without knowing one of his parents ever got mail... so he holds his own, but privilege is privilege... He's not not a nepo baby.

Give it the weight it deserves. Some of the other replies here are on point and this interaction doesn't deserve any negative head space, but bad examples of what not to do are really helpful. You have a chance to choose how to treat people... you bump into friends and strangers every single day. Use the bad examples from your life and the good ones to shape who you are. Aim at the version of yourself who would answer that same question with respect and kindness. Keeping negative things in your head but using them for something positive is the best use of that memory.

It's about numbers as a whole, and the bottom 50% of earners in the US only have 2.6% of the wealth. They can advertise a 'good economy' but most of us can't afford to participate in it.

I prefer smart wool, but am totally on board with nice merino wool socks from any brand. Happy feet have helped me maintain a happy life. It's like a good pillow or the right jacket for today's weather for me.

Totally agree on the boardgame suggestion if it suits their personality. You need to know what complexity they are into, first.

To quote MIB: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

I think it applies pretty broadly that individuals are decent but organized into society, we mess up quite a bit.

Her phantom limb pain was reduced and might that be even more interesting than the technology, itself. There are theories supporting central and peripheral contributions to chronic phantom pain and hers must have been primarily central. Fascinating!

Ok, you've convinced me.

You can only get this effect in the center of your visual field due to the organization of your retina where you have color vision. The rest of your eye is much more sensitive to light so you can see dim stars more easily in your periphery by looking away from them a bit. Maybe you can use your own biology to help enjoy the night sky even more! If you get a friend, you can use colored pen caps and get them to hold them in your periphery and tell them what color it is. You don't be able to until they reach the color vision part of your visual field if you stay looking forward.

It's trippy, but your brain fills in color for you a lot of the time.

But evolution ended up giving us two external tubes to breathe. My conclusion is that its better to have redundancy in external tubes openings for air.

So, to avoid the efficiency of a branch that lets us eat and breathe from our mouths would you make it so we can't breathe from our mouths and we still have 2 tubes to breathe as redundancy? If so, where would you place the extra tube opening? Head or further away? Toe or back would help act as a snorkel, I'd think.

35, WI, can. Haven't had one in a while because the wife doesn't want to learn.

I tried twice and it went poorly.

Living this right now, but it's great. She's organizing my entire plex server!
