Jokes aside, I know there's many situations where you should help someone to calm down. What I mean is that phrase won't achieve that.

Calm down

Constructive

Can't think of a situation where 'calm down' is a constructive thing to say

Fruit the botanical term and fruit the culinary term are just not the same word. Similarly to how theory means something different in science and in colloquial speech. That's just how language works.

You're the one defending the gazillionaires. They're saying the gazillionaires are the ones profiting from stealing, and they're right.

As far as I know they take a bit of a glance at the entire area to check if there's any potential health concerns, as you're already there and you're likely not showing that area to other doctors or checking it yourself. e.g. problematic moles.

Is this the most boring episode of the twilight zone? I just made this 10 mins ago (was relevant in a convo):

That is very interesting and makes sense. And I feel honoured, lol. I'm a pretty genderless human, so I like that but.

Super interesting, cause for me it's the opposite! If I try to read it out loud mentally, my mind is (I guess) understimulated and starts to wander, causing me to have to reread it.

Side question: if you give text a voice, what kind of a voice are you giving my comments here? Not just asking you specifically, but anyone who wants to answer!

Thanks for the pointer, I'll read the wiki!

Hm so it isn't like reading it out loud, except in your head, after all?

Interesting, everyone I've told this to said that is indeed how they read!

Does reading something quietly take as long as reading something out loud for you? It's hard to imagine!

The way I explain it is: when you read, you don't read the words aloud in your head. You look at them and register their meaning. My thoughts are just those meanings. Usually in larger chunks than single words though. They don't have a language. I can 'picture' sounds I've heard before though, like getting a song stuck in my head. That one's more difficult with pictures.

That first one isn't just American christian zionism, it's the literal reason modern day Israel was created.

I'm white so she wouldn't base my name on ethnicity, she'd probably go with Tr*nny Girlman

So yeah it's probably your field! Sorry about that. Fwiw I don't think the problem is that it isn't 'hard science', I find it easy to find philosophical works (German, English and French language ones). It's probably just too niche.

I used to live way outside of town and there weren't any night buses on weekdays, so I got a moped at 15. I just didn't drink at all when I hung out with friends on weekdays, even when I turned 16 and it became legal, because I had to drive. It wasn't hard to do and nobody batted an eye. So, the alternative is not drinking. Having no alternative transport is a poor excuse for drunk driving.

Edit: tangent point the above image in the post reminded me of.

For every person who thinks they're interesting for hating a popular thing, there's ten who will be like OMG YOU THINK YOURE SO SPECIAL AND BETTER THAN EVERYONE when you casually mention you don't particularly care for a popular thing.
