Historically, rich people have been able to alter what people consider attractive too. There were multiple cultures across the globe that painted their teeth black because being able to eat a lot of imported sugar made your teeth rot.

Straight up health problems being romanticized just because it was a problem only affecting the rich.

Sorry for the double response, but I just remembered something else. Right before COVID, I was in a car accident, and crushed my pelvis. I was bedbound for a year, and had six months of PT to get my muscles back, which is where I learned a lot of this stuff.

Turns out I was also not sitting correctly. I always curled my tailbone under and was sitting on the bottom of my sacro-iliac joint, but your pelvis has something called 'sit bones' that you're supposed to sit on. I find that I can't sit 'correctly' in bucket seats at all, so if you're sitting at the desk like you sit in a car, maybe that has something to do with it?

Both actual moths. The black and white one is Haploa clymene, and the colorful one is Dryocampa rubicunda.

I just don't know how they're getting away with calling it 'full self driving' if it's not fully self driving.

I don’t think there’s a way to keep the muscles tense subconsciously

Part of 'better posture' is relying on your core muscles for stability instead of your back muscles, and that's the thing that keeps fucking with me. I overly rely on my back to keep me upright, and I have a hard time keeping my core engaged like that too. From what I've been told, it's a practice thing and I just don't do it enough for them to stay engaged without thinking about it.

The office chair is providing something called 'lumbar support' if you want a search term, and some people do have a bigger curve there than others. I'm proportionally short, so I have to move the cushion around until it hits the sweet spot and isn't uncomfortable. Slouching will also make your lumbar curve flatten out, so that could be it. I think it's just a matter of trying different things and seeing what works best for you, it's not one-size-fits-all.

idk, the image loaded fine on my phone

I've heard that could be a posture thing. If you sit like a shrimp, you're gonna have belly rolls, no matter how skinny you are.

I say, hunched over my keyboard like a gremlin.

On the other hand, I really do wonder how many of those 300m views were also not human views.

I've only done it a few times, but nitrous made me laugh so much, it was great. Nitrous starts fading as soon as you breathe out and is over in 10min tops, but for weed, give yourself an evening to get stoned for the first time. Feeling cramped for time is a huge vibe killer.

Also, modern weed can be way too strong for a first-timer, but if you can find a low-thc/high-cbd strain, you'll have smooth sailing. My poor in-laws hadn't smoked since the 60s, and the budtender sold them a thc vape, good times were not had. Don't make their mistake, haha.

You're not old enough. Teachers bitched about 'gonna' when I was a kid, it's old hat now.

I saw a squirrel eat an injured pigeon once. Nature is metal.

Part of me is so done with humanity I feel like a lot of these kids deserve the consequence of being self-absorbed and undisciplined.

That's understandable, considering the amount of propaganda that has always been generated about the kids these days. The best propaganda has a grain of truth in it, and preys on the fear that you're being taken advantage of, that your efforts are for naught.

There will always be ignorant people, there will always be lazy freeloaders, there will always be room for improvement. If you feel this means some people do not deserve solidarity, you cannot expect others to stand with you, and this is how the left crumbles.

If the internet is making you lose faith in humanity, you should get off the internet.

I agree, and think this ties into my pet peeve, if I may stroke it for a bit; The fact that science is so isolated from the outside world, that the only way the average person can access it is through pop culture interpretations. Pop culture science needs to be held to a higher standard if we won't fund good science communicators. We've left it to 'market forces' to fill the gap, and they've decided the most cost-effective way of doing that is stuffing it with garbage and slapping a pretty veneer on it.

People go "yeah, but you can read the studies online", but that ignores that 1) paywalls are a problem and 2) even if you don't run into a paywall, you need the education to understand what you're reading. The average american can barely read common english and is exhausted from work, expecting quality self-education to be the standard is a fool's errand.

Depends on where you live. I grew up taking Oklahoma City public transit, and you could get mugged for pocket change at some of the bus stops. Now I'm in Washington and my area is pretty safe.

Hnnng, I'm so glad I don't have to pay for a static ip

I'm getting 270 down and 40 up. Fucking comcast has a monopoly in my area, so I'm paying $120/month for it unless I want to go back to DSL.

Not the person you were asking, but I got kicked out of youth group for saying evolution and the bible could co-exist. There's that verse about how a thousand years is like a day for god, so clearly the 7 days of creation means evolution could have been god's mechanism of creation, right?

The youth group leader just told me I was wrong and said I could leave if I wanted to disagree, so I left.

A few years after that, I quit the church for good because they didn't want to help the community after a tornado because said community was full of demon worshipers (aka, catholics). It made me realize the bible was full of shit, because the pastor was able to believe that god somehow loves sinners, and but also we shouldn't help sinners, because god wants them to suffer for not loving him back the right way? If heaven is full of those people, I really don't want to go there.

On the other hand, I have known many hard dicks in the past.
