Jokes aside, I know there’s many situations where you should help someone to calm down. What I mean is that phrase won’t achieve that.

Calm down

Constructive

Can’t think of a situation where ‘calm down’ is a constructive thing to say

You’re the one defending the gazillionaires. They’re saying the gazillionaires are the ones profiting from stealing, and they’re right.

As far as I know they take a bit of a glance at the entire area to check if there’s any potential health concerns, as you’re already there and you’re likely not showing that area to other doctors or checking it yourself. e.g. problematic moles.

That is very interesting and makes sense. And I feel honoured, lol. I’m a pretty genderless human, so I like that but.

Idk for photos in particular I don’t experience many drawbacks from just using two separate physical external hard drives (every photo is backed up to both).

Super interesting, cause for me it’s the opposite! If I try to read it out loud mentally, my mind is (I guess) understimulated and starts to wander, causing me to have to reread it.

Side question: if you give text a voice, what kind of a voice are you giving my comments here? Not just asking you specifically, but anyone who wants to answer!

Thanks for the pointer, I’ll read the wiki!

Hm so it isn’t like reading it out loud, except in your head, after all?

Interesting, everyone I’ve told this to said that is indeed how they read!

Does reading something quietly take as long as reading something out loud for you? It’s hard to imagine!

The way I explain it is: when you read, you don’t read the words aloud in your head. You look at them and register their meaning. My thoughts are just those meanings. Usually in larger chunks than single words though. They don’t have a language. I can ‘picture’ sounds I’ve heard before though, like getting a song stuck in my head. That one’s more difficult with pictures.

I’m white so she wouldn’t base my name on ethnicity, she’d probably go with Tr*nny Girlman

I used to live way outside of town and there weren’t any night buses on weekdays, so I got a moped at 15. I just didn’t drink at all when I hung out with friends on weekdays, even when I turned 16 and it became legal, because I had to drive. It wasn’t hard to do and nobody batted an eye. So, the alternative is not drinking. Having no alternative transport is a poor excuse for drunk driving.

Edit: tangent point the above image in the post reminded me of.

For every person who thinks they’re interesting for hating a popular thing, there’s ten who will be like OMG YOU THINK YOURE SO SPECIAL AND BETTER THAN EVERYONE when you casually mention you don’t particularly care for a popular thing.

That is an aggressively shitty way to present that data

Major mood

I’m both like you and a fidgeter myself. It sucks. I do try to fidget subtlely- I like rubbing my fingernails with the thumb of the same hand.

Huh I thought since most are moisturizing that they were basically lotion with extra sun protecting ingredients!
