She could not give full consent given the power imbalance. She does regret her role. Please consider looking into how she has reframed her experience since the #metoo movement.

A quick Google search is telling me she now considers it a gross abuse of power. The #metoo movement helped her reframe her understanding of consent.

What do YOU mean, “you people”!?

I can’t do the pig squeal sounding screams, but a good heavy vocalist can add so much to the range of emotion. It was an acquired taste for me, though. I had friends trying to show me BTBAM thinking I’d appreciate the complexity, but it took ages for me to really hear everything through the wall of sound. Looking up lyrics helped massively, along with finding bands that blend the heavy and clean vocals so there were spots I could sing along with. I’d love to learn to scream properly so I could belt out some gutturals

Fourth panel was definitely me, and I’m comfy. Get you some electrolytes, though! Happy new year

5. Science, so the final stage is being shot from a canon. Or helping a med student. I’m fine with either

You could maybe read it as the cop having implicit knowledge and mourning the loss before he takes action. Like “I sure will miss ya”

Super dark, got a sharp, uncomfortable laugh/gasp outta me

I’ve taken a few classes that touched on this concept. Most interesting to me is the concept of the two halves seemingly being secular vs deist, essentially. Now I’m wondering if the deist half is the “nonsensical” side, as you described.

Check out restorative justice models. One in Colorado has boasted 95% victim satisfaction and recidivism crashed from 50 down to like 10%. We can use this data to demonstrate what justice models are better, regardless of a definitive definition.

I’ve slept since I watched and am not great with tech, but iirc the link with the affiliate code when clicked takes you to the site. Then honey has a pop up that, when clicked, replaces the link with their own, swiping the commission. Hope that makes sense - most people likely would not catch it. The Linus tech tips was used as an example of even a tech channel with lots of employees taking quite a while to notice themselves, and even when they did, it wasn’t quite conclusive for some reason?

Another thing the video touched on is that honey would claim to search for coupons but often opt to show what the partnered companies want. So, could be there’s a coupon for 50% but they only show 10%.

I’ll add that two people can experience the same trauma but only one develop PTSD. I started a lecture series on trauma a while back that started off explaining that if you find yourself starting to have symptoms, try to catch yourself and remind yourself that you’re in a learning environment. That’s just one method, and it can be difficult to maintain without further education and training

Just made me realize I haven’t seen any geese this year. Normally they absolutely litter the pond near my place

Do you have research that demonstrates this conclusively? I’ve taken courses in psychology of aging, lifespan development, brain & behavior, etc. None of them discussed such a claim for everyone, but it’s possible I didn’t pay well enough attention.

I asked ChatGPT as well, and it’s disagreeing with you, for the record. There are changes and differences, but the brain is a muscle like any other that requires training. Learning new skills, solving puzzles, etc. is correlated to the maintenance and/or improvement of the organ over the lifespan.

Cognitive decline is not inherent to old age. It is something to look out for.

Just because it’s what you want doesn’t mean you speak for everyone. That’s the point of democracy.

I grew up with that fear and don’t think it was acceptable. I understand why others do, and I won’t invalidate the feelings behind why. I live with chronic health issues that I don’t have insurance or money to see a doctor for, and I desperately want change for everyone else suffering, as well. I don’t think compounding that through vigilante justice is the answer. I can’t change that it happened or that others sympathize with it, but I can continue to listen and advocate for systemic change moving forward where and when I can.

Age isn’t inherently a bad thing in politics. We’re a representative democracy, and older adults deserve representation reflected as equally as any other eligible voter demographic imo (which could include felons and other disenfranchised populations where possible, but that’s a whole other convo).

It’s disproportionately skewed due to lack of term limits, it’s often safer for parties to run an incumbent, and there’s benefits to having someone with the experience stay in, so idk. I don’t have a ton of solutions by any means, just want to push back on the ageism and add some nuance here. Bernie’s still out there doing a his job representing the demographic well

Richard Dawkins, the esteemed biologist that coined the term “meme,” suffered a stroke and started going hard on “there are only two sexes.” Setting aside that gender =/= sex, how does a biologist not remember bimodal models are not clear dichotomies

No other animal does what we’re doing here either. Weird isn’t necessarily bad
