Are the rocks eyebrows always so flawless or am I just noticing because I got my own eyebrows done today and I’m wishing they turned out half as good.

Put it in the headlines

I fucking love mushrooms. What neat, interesting, vast, wonderful, mysterious systems we have growing in our forests.

Interestingly, the study also revealed a particularly strong consensus among participants regarding the neural representations of Justin Bieber compared to the other four celebrities.

I wonder why!

I enjoyed that. It feels like that’s what the internets for.

 

On these types of forums it’s easy to jump into an argument about the technicalities or a post or comment.

You should know, though, that there is a theory called Ways of Knowing which defines Separate Knowing and Connected Knowing. It’s been a part of my masters program I’m taking.

Separate knowing disconnects the humanity and context from what’s being said and tries to only argue the “facts”. But facts, and the things people say, don’t just occur in a vacuum. It often is the case when people are arguing past each other, like on the internet.

Connected Knowing is approaching the thing someone said with the understanding that there is a context, humanity, biases, different experiences, and human error that can all jumble up when people are sharing information.

Maybe even just knowing that there’s different ways to know would be helpful for us to engage in a different level of conversation here. I’m not sure. I just wanted to share!

I swear I’d not seen the term “christofascism” until this year. It’s an apt term for all the talk about the new speaker of the house, rolling back of Roe v Wade, banning books and increased persecution of LGBT+ rights…

But if I was Christ I’d be pretty darn upset right now. I talk about love and tolerance and peace and you’re going to use my name to make shitty, power grabbing, political, oppressive moves? The fuckin audacity. I’d be flipping tables and calling out the hypocrites.

I know it’s a conversation as old as time. I also don’t believe Christian’s should be able to point at it and say “yeh but that’s not MY Jesus.” Doesn’t fucking matter, they’re identifying as a You so if You don’t do something about it then it’s as good as doin it yourself.

Sigh.

 

Hot seems meh. I usually go for Top: Day but then I run out. Recently tried most active by comments and liked it.

How y’all sorting your feeds?

 

I’m Canadian. And I’m already sorry for asking an ignorant question.

I know you have to pay for hospital visits in the states. I know lower economic status can come with lower access to birth control and sex education. But then, how do they afford to give birth? Do people ever avoid hospital visits because they don’t feel like they can’t afford it?

Do hospitals put people on a payment plan? Is it possible to give birth and not pay if you don’t have the means? How does it work in the states?

How does it all work?

Again. Canadian. And sorry.

 

I thought it was an intentional joke but he didn’t seem to think it was funny, even when I explained the “404: Office Not Found”.

I still think it’s objectively funny.

 

Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car.

Whatchya driving, do you like it, and why?

 

In like, 2005-2010ish I remember there being these awesome online games through sites like Mini Clip. All disappeared from the internet.

I understood it had something to do with Java? Or… some plug in? I don’t really understand what either of those mean.

What happened to online games?

ELI5: RICO (self.explainlikeimfive)
 

I keep seeing references to RICO in the Trump Georgia stuff. What is it and how is it relevant to that case?
