Pretty adorable tbh.

Critical thinking has to be taught in order for a person have it. And when you either restrict/limit education (for example, making it so that one needs a lot of money for proper schooling, thus barring lower classes from getting the education they need) or alter the education to become indoctrination. (These methods are most efficient combined!) It's why authoritarian people and parties want to control and/or destroy education systems so bad.

Being a history nerd, I've been convinced that the vast majority of people can be tricked into believing nearly anything. No one is immune to propaganda, it's just a matter of circumistances and the education you receive.

If you had grew up in a society where everyone told you that, say, pigs are a type of lizard, and your school taught you that pigs are lizards, all biologists were bribed or forced into saying pigs are lizards, and all the books you read and all the movies or shows you watched said pigs are lizards, chances are that you would believe pigs are lizards.

I'd also like to note that the above scenario would work especially well if you had never actually spent time with pigs. For example, it's a lot easier to convince someone that gay people are evil if they don't personally know any gay people.

I also think that often people know that, for example, elections are fraudulent, but they are too scared to say anything and thus act like they aren't.

Seems like the cat is out of the bag.

If your carton can physically do that, then either your carton is paper and not carton, or your eggs have stones inside them.

You mean Säkkijärven?

At least he wore a suit!

What if they abolish weekdays?

In the mirror I guess. Or maybe upside down in a spoon.

this reminded me that I really need to shower, ty

Does "pope" no longer seem like a real word to anyone else here?

Well, from what I know, a lot of his propaganda involves religion, and doing that could very well affect his image.

It's a matter of perspective. When you study ancient history, the French Revolution is basically yesterday. When you don't, a few of decades ago is nearly primordial times.

I'm the former, and to me the 50s are very, very recent times.

WHAT

I think it's probably a combination of animals that eat bamboo and climates/habitats not suitable for bamboo.

I've been in a similar situation. As another user already said, you should be direct about it. Pick a good time (when they are not doing it) and simply explain that they are loud and ask them to be more quiet.

If you still want to be subtle, maybe try knocking/hitting the wall between your rooms, this will probably be noticed if it's night, and they could realise that they're bothering you.

Be gentle and let her take her time to adjust. No sudden movements or loud noises. If she doesn't want to be touched then it's best to not touch her. She'll adjust eventually.

When I encounter a new cat, I offer my hand for a sniff, and if the cat acts scared or foes away, then I leave them alone. If they seem chill with it, I touch them a bit and see how they react.

I recommend reading or watching videos about cat body language. Also, remember treats and the slow blink!

Seems to me that it's a rectangular cloth draped around the body and kept together by a pin.

No. Being disabled isn't an excuse for bigotry.

Like bee queens.

You can thank me later. >:D
