I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I’m going to troll you back. FAFO.

  • I already knew this about colors (it’s also why “redheads” have orange hair) but I recently dug more into how the musical spectrum and how tones are defined is very similar in it’s cultural variance. Another thing is how the cardinal directions are divided radially and how time is counted. Shit counting bases even, most of the imperial measurements are based on either base 12 or base 16 math.

    Wild to think that something you grew up with as a fundamental fact of the world might actually be super culturally subjective.


  • It’s waaay safer than alcohol especially in smoked straight off the plant non GMO strength weed but yeah a processed 200-300mg strength edible can absolutely cause psychosis in the wrong person (it’s funny, one of my old psychiatrists actually said something to the effect of 'they’re breeding the weed waaay stronger than what my generation was smoking in college…). I’ve had a looot of schiz spectrum patients who just can’t admit that weed or especially edibles are a problem for them and causing their psychosis keep winding up in the hospital.





  • Or your favorite niche flavor of dorito in the corner store at 2am Sunday morning. This is what I mean when I say that while yes most ecological damage is caused by large corporations, there would still also have to be fundamental changes to a huge number of people’s everyday lives. Convenience culture would have to die and I don’t even know if I’m personally ready for that.







  • Yeah I’m a nurse and this article tracks. I get callbacks on applications within a week of submission or sometimes same day. Are they good jobs? Maybe. But there’s no shortage of them.

    But this article also highlights something I’ve always said about cops, whose degrees are basically worthless according to this article. A degree isn’t necessary for their job while it’s literally illegal for me to not have one as well as a license that can be revoked if I fuck up bad enough.

    Cops imo have a similar level of responsibility if not for health specifically definitely for safety. They should have to be licensed and that license should be overseen by a public safety board that can remove it. You should be able to maybe get a 3-6 month certificate or something to ticket people for parking in handicapped spots or noise disturbances but you should need at LEAST an associates to carry a gun in the protection of public safety, preferably a bachelors and in addition to martial arts it should cover everything from law, basic / developmental psych, basic first aid and how to identify when a disturbance is probably being caused by a medical problem that needs eval after it’s been safely contained etc.

    I do actually believe there is a need for public safety officials who can show up and stop people from injuring each other but we really need to up our expectations for ethics and competency.
