Cannabis can very much cause paranoia and create some wild thoughts. Not anything like a 72 hour bender on stims with no sleep, but it can cause individuals to think up wacky shit.
Wild thoughts like "oh, am I having a heart attack", or "I think I'm dying", or "everyone is looking at me and knows I'm high". It generally doesn't make you start thinking up completely irrational nonsensical stuff like raccoons working for the CIA.
Better than spending two hours to find that one video you saw once in the summer of 2008. And then finding the thumbnail but it leads to a dead site, so you pick a random video which turns out to be trash. But you’ve come this far, so you might as well finish the job. In the end you’re left with nothing but regret.
Can we stop this "Introvert" BS? An "introvert" is someone who will tend to keep their thoughts to themselves. Nothing more. This "the extroverts are the sports guys and the introverts are the intellectuals" is completely made up and people will not like you more or less depending on wether you wear your heart on your tongue or not.
Extraversion tends to be manifested in outgoing, talkative, energetic behavior, whereas introversion is manifested in more reflective and reserved behavior.
Guess what kind of activities the average outgoing and energetic teenager will pick to indulge in compared to the more reflective and reserved teenager. Sports.
This is exactly the kind of made up division I'm talking about. There is no such thing as "someone who 'emotionally recharges X or Y way'".
First of all: Why exactly would Wikipedia - edited by thousands - be wrong if the way you put is "what they are defined as"? Wouldn't people have written Wikipedia that way then?
Next, there is no such thing as "emotionally recharge". Our "emotions" aren't a battery. Also, there is "recharging process" or anything. Generally speaking: Activities that make us happy in that very moment "recharge" our batteries. Parents of young children will confirm that this not neccessarily a task that gives you respite, but can be the most exhausting thing ever, still you'll come out of it with more energy than before.
And we all - everyone! Yes, you too! - have varying ways of doing that. Sometimes, we'll want to be around others and it'll do us good, sometimes we want to be alone and it'll do us good. While all people will have tendencies towards one way or another, no one has a defined "recharging mode". No one.
And lastly: The main issue with this division into "introverts" and "extroverts" is not that it's impossible to divide people by that line. You can, as you can with many, many other lines one could draw. The issue is that people offhandedly attribute all kinds of stuff to this division. All of a sudden, extroverts are "loud" and "confident" and "energetic" and "sports guys". Even IF we applied your definition... how would the way someone wants to take a break in lead to them being even one of those things? It's just not logical.
I mean, as a nerd with no interest in prom, it wasn’t all bad. My hs has us still do graduation almost as normal (masks and spacing, ofc), with the only major difference being that it was split across multiple days so we could fit everyone on the front lawn.
The fact that they had to do the speeches six times was the only reason I was slightly glad to have missed out on being valedictorian/salutorian
pretty boring tbh. most of it was the same, just with masks on, and classes online. thankfully, mu part of australia was mostly unaffected by covid, so final WACE exams were basically the same. the big send off was already done before hand
It’s not even a reference though, it’s just using a word for a classification of an animal that is doubted to exist, like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster.
The couple that will later found Mattel, were on a vacation on Germany when they saw a doll (forgot the name ). At home they literally copied it and it became a huge success, selling worldwide. The CEO of the German toy company didn’t know about it until he saw it being sold on a toy shop. The company was dying, partially due to the barbie doll and so they sold the company to mattel. Watched a vid about it like two days ago.
that was a scum move yeah. but I don’t know if it counts as stealing it … also the German doll was a doll from an adult comic strip in a newspaper, it wasn’t particularly for children
Am not sure but it was a doll made for kids by a toy manufacturer they copied not an adult kink thing or something. Sot it’s the same product, same demographic.
Didn’t they turn an evil character (possibly dracula servant or something) black and Muslim and it was considered one the best character in the show or is it another show ?
Or you can make fun of fat people and don't care. It's the one thing you can change about your appearance and not doing so is a sign of irresponsible neglect of your own body that shouldn't be encouraged.
It's like making fun of a weird fashion choice or a silly haircut. It's not like making fun of someones hight or dick size or whatever.
I'm saying that as someone who was overweight most of his adult life.
Exactly. If she was just about not hating fat people, I’d be on board. But she seems to be all about normalizing being fat, and that is not okay at all.
Fat isn’t a good look. For anyone. Chubby chasers are fucked in the head. I’m all for weird preferences, but there are limits. And a preference for people that are completely unhealthy is past the limit for sure.
Your oversimplifying. I agree I don’t think being overweight should be necessarily seen as a good thing, but that’s still someone’s personal business. They may be trying to loose weight. They may have a medical condition or an addiction to food. They may just not have access to good, healthy food, or are uneducated about how to eat healthy in the first place. Making fun of them is useless at best and hurtful at worst, because chances are, they know they’re overweight. They don’t need you to point that out to them.
Even if someone chooses to be overweight, making fun of them for it can still hurt others. By all means, say that it’s unhealthy and that it shouldn’t be normalized but don’t take it out on individuals, especially if you don’t know their situation.
Nah I think people should be more comfortable with a little mocking. Just because people won't speak it out loud doesn't mean you're not discriminated against and I'm worried censoring the expression of natural thoughts on that topic will cause discrimination to fester in a more subtle way.
The only people I won't make fun of are those I genuinely feel pity for and except of very very very few exceptions fat people are in a position to change their fate and patronizing them isn't doing them any favors.
You’re saying we should be blatantly discriminatory to prevent subtle discrimination? How does that make any sense? It’s like saying people with racist thought should just say them instead of shutting up. Or an better example: should we make fun of visibly disabled people? I’m sure plenty of people have “natural thoughts” when they see someone like that, but you shouldn’t say anything because that’d be a horrible thing to do.
Again, most overweight people know they’re overweight. They are already affected by it in their daily lives. They don’t need you to be a dick about it.
It circles back to that fat people have the autonomy to change their shortcomings.
But the thought about blind people getting bullied into gaining vision your argumentation put in my head is pretty entertaining.
So we should bully everyone about anything they have autonomy over? I should bully people for not filtering their water because it’s unhealthy? I should bully people for having a car because it’s bad for the environment?
I mean it’s not discrimination but it’s definitely just a dick thing to do. You mentioned haircuts earlier - if someone gets a haircut they like you shouldn’t make fun of them for it. They chose to get the haircut. They know how it looks. They know what people think of that style of haircut. Chosing to laugh at them for that isn’t doing anything and is just rude.
If you disagree with that I don’t think I have anything else to say. We just have completely different views.
Well it's you who basically comes back to repeat the same talking points over and over. And I was saying it's ok to make fun of fat people that you kinda escalated into bullying. You're strawmanning and all your arguments are just whataboutism. I should've shot that down earlier but you seem very polite.
Blame the airlines for making the seats smaller. I’m not even 200 pounds and I can’t sit comfortably in those things anymore. Movie theaters don’t usually have that issue unless it’s packed.
It’s more like making fun of your ignorance than your haircut. Like, hypothetically, you could fix your ignorance. But in practice, you can’t. It’s beyond you to even understand yourself.
I have a family member who is constantly posting on social media about their weight and appearance, and has been doing so for easily a good 10+ years at this point. I am sympathetic to their struggle, and I feel bad that it affects their self esteem and whatnot, but on the other hand, if they had been putting in enough effort to lose even just 1 pound per month over the decade+ this has been happening, then they would have been able to stop posting about it by now. They are one of the most active social media users I know, so I know that they have plenty of time that they could divert towards being more active, they just simply choose not to. I can only feel so bad about that after so long.
I lost like 45lbs in three months. Losing weight isn't even difficult if you set your mind to it. Count how many calories you burn and then count the calories you eat. Eat less than you burn. Simple as that.
Yup, calorie counting is where it’s at. I lost something like… 60? Pounds in the year leading up to my wedding by just counting calories, as I was too busy between working full time and going to college full time to go to the gym consistently enough to rely on that. People underestimate caloric intake and overestimate the impact of physical activity in my experience. Not to say that physical activity is not important, more so that you can overeat calories much more quickly than you can burn them off.
When I’m on tour and it’s my turn to drive… Oh boy. Always start the day off with this little ditty, just to remind them of what’s coming fornthe next four or five hours. They know it’s coming, I know it’s coming, I laugh, they put blankets over their heads.
I lived in terraced housing and I used to walk across the steep rooftop of my house down to the neighbors. At the time I thought I was being cool, like my hero, Daredevil. Looking back on it now, it was ridiculously dangerous.
I lament the loss of quite a few of my parallel selves.
