allergy stuff is so evil

Language acquisition is one of the fields i find really interesting and my university has a lab group that studies spanish language heritage speakers & their acquisition, it's really cool

That's a focal point of lingustics - much of it is learned unconsciously for your native/L1 language. L2 and beyond follow an entirely different learning pathway unless you grow up bi/multilingual

that is something i have explicitly learned about in lingustics classes - the english language has a hierarchy to how adjectives describing the same noun are ordered

that is linguistics!

That's always been my experience with ADHD too. A small cup of coffee knocks me out sometimes, 10mg adderall knocks me out sometimes and then i take the best nap of my life.

this was me until i figured out i was allergic to the majority of my diet and human caloric intake so i got nothing for ya other than pray it is not MCAS

Patriarchy/kyriarchy is cruel to men. It denies them their emotions, and reinforces anger as the only valid masculine form of expression. And if you already find it emasculating to ask for help or to open up about yourself, it's that much harder to have any conversation about that in the first place

If the first sources they find teling them that they're not broken, they're not evil, and it's not their fault that they don't know how to navigate relationships with ease are feminist sources rather than misogynistic ones, there's a LOT better chances for them.

You're not going to reach incels or boys who have decided to load up on white nationalism, but there are plenty who simply don't know what healthy relationships look like, would love to be a good boyfriend/husband, and are desperate for someone to tell them how to be a man.

THIS is what we need to emphasize. The incels are already far down the radicalization pathway, and young men who don't know any better often get swept up by their bullshit when looking for advice and camaraderie. They get hit with an onslaught of propaganda and they eventually start believing it.

Drunk people yell in neighborhoods anyway. You're just trading drunk people at a bar for people drinking at their houses (which means they get way more drunk, because bars will refuse service after a certain point)

when onlyfans was shut down a few years back, the onlyfans ceo specifically named the banks jpmorgan chase, bny mellon, and uk's metro bank

There is, in fact, a history of banking discrimination against sex workers and adult content as well. Keep calling MC, Visa, PayPal, and Stripe. But also hit up your bank if you have time

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

Please for the love of god stop running conservatives on the democratic ticket. We want progressive candidates.

America is cooked anyway but we are especially cooked if they try to run Harris again

Weird being alive long enough to remember the 'olden days' people are trying to cultural relativism. No it wasn't cool for grown ass adults to have sex with teenagers in the 1990s.

It was and is rape and they knew they were raping children.

oh 100%

And legalizing prostitution would *reduce* human trafficking. The people saying this shit just do not care about solutions, they care about projecting a set of values that make their morals seem better than all those nasty sex-scum perverts

a common thing I've heard is that porn consumption encourages human trafficking, but hoo boy people really don't like to hear what nestle does!

I wouldn't say they're the only ones creating negative social effects - there is something to be said about how some incels reinforce their misogyny and objectification of women through porn. But the issue there is fundamentally not with porn, it's with incels not seeing women as human.

why does frosting smell like that. it's not even the sugar because straight sugar is less sickening to me (it is probably my dairy allergy)

someone has some type of baked good with frosting on the bus near me and i can smell it </3 i dont know why but the taste and smell of the vast majority of frosting makes me feel slightly nauseous

I'm very new to stagehand work (literally only started in may) and it's been really cool to meet so many awesome people on the job through my local and the touring crews. And ur absolutely right, like I know if they come around again which crews I'd be most excited to work with a second time

Generally just seemed like really cool ppl too, the whole attitude around the event was incredibly positive and it makes a big difference when you're doing heavy lifting at ungodly early or late hours

also they gave really clear instructions about how they wanted things done which makes our jobs much easier
