I don't think that trusting scientists makes one lazy. They know more than you about their field because duh, they studied it. That said I understand that not everyone knows how to properly read a scientific article (as in, how to assess the methodology, the sample used, the statistic significance of the results etc etc). I can usually tell when someone who claims to have "done their research" is being disingenuous and has only read bad articles supporting their view, but not everyone can. In that sense, I agree that blind trust in "scientists" is as bad as blind trust in a politician.
All that said, in the last few years I've noticed a strong anti-intellectual sentiment present among many people, and I don't think that's good either.

Not gonna lie that sounds awesome. Unfortunately you can't do that in my country because the snow here melts really fast and gets all dirty and gross.

Interestingly enough most of the anti-intellectuals who say things like that are more than willing to eat up and regurgitate anything their favorite politician says. Is that not an appeal to authority?

This is exactly why I don't drink. When I was in high school and went to... well anywhere really, it didn't have to be a party, dancing lessons or just hanging out with classmates was enough, they'd start drinking and pressuring me to drink as well. It's not alcohol itself that I dislike, well sure because I don't drink I'm not used to the taste and all, but it's mainly the peer pressure that comes with it that made me a freaking puritan in regards to alcohol. It's like, you wanna force me to have "just one drink"? Joke's on you, maybe I would have one later if I felt thirsty (and some alcoholic beverages can be thirst quenching and tasty, I have nothing against cider or sangria, what gets me is people getting shitfaced because they think it's fun) but now that you feel like you have to insert yourself into my choices, I'll have water.
Interestingly enough in my experience this mentality also applies to coffee. People will look at you weird if you tell them you don't drink coffee.

It's an Electric Boogaloo.
Funny story, when I was 13-14ish my mom and I got invited to my cousin's wedding. My mom even had her seamstress friend make us dresses and bought a bunch of matching accessories, that's how seriously she took it. I couldn't come because I got really sick the day before, so I jokingly told my mom "tell him I'll come to the next one", to which she just rolled her eyes. But as it turns out he got divorced about a year later and then a few years ago had another wedding, which I did in fact attend. I couldn't wear the original dress though because I had grown a lot in the, uh... chest department. Puberty.

Most beautiful feeling in the world 3 comments
ewqua · 4 years ago
It's a good feeling when I don't have anything to stress about. But the sad reality is that it usually happens to me before a stressful event such as an exam, in which case it happens multiple times a night, so it's not so great then because I'm exhausted in the morning.

I really dont get this, who AND why the hell would someone have their washing machine in 21 comments
ewqua · 4 years ago
My parents have the washing machine in the kitchen, in the apartment I rent it's in the bathroom. I feel like if you use a drying rack, it makes more sense to have the washing machine in the kitchen because there's usually more space and you can hang the clothing immediately instead of carrying it from the bathroom to the drying rack like I have to. But if you also have a drier or a washer-drier combo it probably makes more sense in the bathroom because it's usually closer to the closet than the kitchen is.
I don't get why ceiling drying racks aren't more of a thing, especially in older apartments which tend to have high ceilings. It makes more sense to take it down, put clothes on it, pull it back up, instead of having it permanently take up space.

Who heats salsa up..? 7 comments

I don't reheat salsa but I do reheat Caesar salad just for a few seconds so that it's at least room temperature. Fridge-cold chicken is gross imo.

It's treason to make a joke? Wouldn't that be against the first amendment? Being a fasho is very un-american.

In my country it's mandatory to wear face masks outside of your home. Just a few days ago my boyfriend witnessed an old man pull down his mask... so he could cough out in the open. How did that saying go? If you think you designed an idiot-proof thing, the universe sends you a bigger idiot?

It's beautiful! I've been wanting to make some wire-wrapped jewellery as well, especially some with a Tree of Life (Yggdrasil) design, but I haven't had time to do it yet. And besides I have no idea how lol

It definitely is. But when the relationship ends and you try those cheesy lines on someone new, they might be weirded the hell out, is what I meant. Hence "losing your flirting skills" because all the pickup lines have been replaced by cheesy remarks. Flirting is also about being able to read people to tell what kind of flirting they might like, whether it's more on the side of cheesy jokes or sexy teasing, but when you've only flirted with one person for years, you might have lost that perspective. And the only way to keep that perspective is by flirting with people who aren't your partner. I think that's why mrscollector meant by her original comment as well.

No I think mrscollector has a point, though her first comment came off too strongly. Being with someone for a long time makes you get used to their style of humor and even the flirting/remarks you two make which would probably be way too cheesy to make in front of someone you don't know that well yet.

I feel you. I'm not dumb but I often have trouble getting my point across clearly, mostly in person (I think I might have Asperger's but I haven't gone to a therapist to confirm it yet) but sometimes in writing as well. I try to be nuanced so I just overexplain every point but in the end it just comes across as a confused and convoluted babble. I also try to empathize with people's point of view and oftentimes idiots who just want to score internet points instead of having a productive discussion take my "I agree with x, but there is a problem in the argument of y" as "you won the argument, congrats, you smart cookie you" which is just so frustrating! Just because I have nuance doesn't mean your crazy ass conspiracy theory about Bill Clinton being a lizard person is right. Smh.
