Today I learnt my sexuality is USB

That seems like a solvable issue

It's the international version of their stand your ground laws!

Chef or Pilot! At one point a Vicar which is hilarious to me now.

Got "stuck with" being a psychotherapist, which turns out I absolutely love and can't imagine doing anything else with my life now.

Reading this response, I'm compelled to ask

Do you want an answer or just a space to br angry and rant?

Do you have an answer in mind which you're looking for and will react with hostility to anything which doesn't fit with your expectations?

Let's make a list of all the ways Ukraine is different to Palestine.

We'll be here a while.

Just a "friend" eh?

However the time of looking young has sadly passed 😔

Michael did continue to look very young throughout his years!

For different reasons.

Slugs evolve because it wasn't economically viable to be snails anymore.

Crabs evolve because it's so cool to be a crab

From an evolutionary perspective, this is true!

Slugs have evolved multiple times from snails, due to calcium poverty, dividing off into separate species when they couldn't get the resources for shells

One person you're destined for by a grand design of the universe? No.

Someone you connect with on a deep level that goes beyond rational considerations and even emotional sensations? Yes, absolutely.

This is why it's possible to meet more than one in a lifetime. Timing is also a big part of it, I've met half a dozen people over the last thirty years who I would have spent my life with, where I was in my life at the time made all the difference of how those relationships played out.

That judgements tell you a lot more about the person doing the judging than they do about the thing being judged

Both. I need two lines

Hehehe.

The far right symbol looks like a fat butt.

Fat right.

Sync on android has this function. I blocked YouTube and it's associated domains.

Also going to block this one, this story is such bad journalism.

I thought the same when I saw that episode with the humans in it.

That certainly a strong theme in many moral systems although it's not a universality, as evidenced by the number of justifications people have come up with over human history to hurt other people

Perfectly explained. Thank you.

People will ask moral nihilists and similar folk who take that view what stops them from doing all kinds of harmful things to themselves and others.

Like they don't quite understand that there's no desire to rob or murder people and that's reason enough.

Yes, we stopped using them a few decades ago
