You’ve Got Mail!

… Jk, I never have mail 😔

Does anyone know the context of this? I want to believe scientists put it there to learn mating rituals. Or like a lil landmark “you belong here!”

Don’t let your memes be dreams

I mean, I think everyone is deserving of sympathy to some degree. Doesn’t mean excusing poor behavior, but it can help in understanding and preventing

Uh. Federal law is that cannabis is illegal, yet that doesn’t stop sales. It does effect prosecution when feds decide to, for sure.

But why male models?

If you aren’t spending time around people that complain about it, that makes sense. My mom is normally pretty quiet while my dad yells about whatever political issue, but this is one topic she gets vocally upset about as we’re celebrating Christmas together literally every year. It’s wild

Reminds me, there was a study done with brain scans to see if there was a difference between liberal and conservative brains. Conservatives have larger amygdalas on average, so makes sense that their fight or flight reactions are higher.

In theory, yes, but that should be the point of education and social programs tbh. Even then, restorative justice models don’t rely as heavily on jail/prison. Temporary and maybe permanent removal from a specific environment doesn’t have to require fully sequestering perpetrators from society. Caught early enough, extreme examples of violent individuals can be rehabilitated through house arrest and other programs like anger management, therapy, etc. Saves taxpayer money, reduces recidivism, and victims report much higher satisfaction as they can actually face their perpetrator and be more involved in the process seeking accountability.

In practice, prisons prop up class and racial segregation, perpetuating capitalist agendas.

I got the package deal with all of them over the summer and loved origins 😅 been working my way through them all to get ready for the new one. I was thinking I’d go this route of getting it and returning if I saw ads, but based on comments about the company having rape apologists I might need to do some more research before even bothering to take that risk

You’re being down voted for facts lol. We’re emotional, often irrational beings. How/when we present facts matters

You can still own guns in Australia, at least. It just requires applying for permits. I don’t get why people would be opposed to that

Hell yes, deserving listener!

I asked my parents to get me evaluated as a kid and my mom said it wasn’t real. At 32, I got evaluated and was diagnosed. Told my dad today and he’s like “no shit? You got it from me” Well thanks for sticking up for me as a kid, dad lol

Yeah, and that something can be communicated. But at the end of the day it’s their job. I follow a therapist on YouTube that talks about his wife’s modeling career on occasion and he never really cared. He saw the work that goes into it and knows it’s just that - work. I think on the rare occasions it did bring up some feelings of jealousy he communicated the insecurity and got reassurance from her. That obviously worked well enough that they’ve been married a couple decades.

On the work end, keep in mind how many times they have to shoot scenes/photos and how extremely unromantic/inauthentic it is.

Adapt into apartment buildings maybe?

Has no one ever thought to ask if the men might like it? :(

Jesus Christ, so 600 civilians? And I’m guessing it’s over 10k in Palestine now? I’ll have to look for a source to verify this but if you have one in the meantime that’d be appreciated.

Wait what came out about the October 7 attack?

Thank you! We had a long conversation and got some closure, I think. Definitely feels good to have stood my ground. Hope your week is going well:)
