Yeah, I was actually thinking about this recently. In the olden days, people who figured out that you have to boil water in order to sanitize it as well as which herbs to use for what purpose were basically considered practitioners of witchcraft but they were just really early scientists!
Also, I can definitely get behind the idea of delicious soup being witchcraft. No I'm not "just cooking", I'm making a potion of onion, garlic, tomato and red pepper! There's my magic wand, what do you mean it just looks like a regular stick blender? It's magic, okay?!

We're moving into your neighborhood!
You know we're trying out best to be
Functioning members of society
We're not here to start no trouble
We're legally required to do the sex offender shuffle.

Hmm, for me it's not that they'll turn out "okay" necessarily, but more so that things will just... continue. Like, if we fuck up the planet to the point we won't be able to survive on it, eventually the ecosystem will recover, just without us. Things will continue, we might just not be there to see it.

Yes. Damn, this is accurate.

I think eclecticanecdotes just read his last name and assumed he was a gay man.

My Polish is very rusty (read: I can only understand some of it because it's somewhat similar to my mother tongue) but I think the name of the textbook is "Volatile chemistry", and the leaf in the corner says New Era. So it seems like one of those "new, modern, hip with the kids" kind of textbooks which is awesome. They're either funny or cringy, in which case it usually ends up being perfect meme material and the levels of cringe overflow so much it loops back into being funny.

Most of them would be "Look at this cat!" as I send my boyfriend a pic or video of a cute cat

Retirement? What retirement?

I guess I'm just not into team sports in general. I'm a martial arts fiend so I much prefer watching a fight and seeing the techniques they come up with.
That said, hockey is infinitely cooler than for instance soccer where the players trip and pretend to be hurt every two minutes lol.

Not big on birdwatching myself, but gardening, now that's my jam.

Hmm, did he ever burn down any homes? It's been a while since I read the book.

As a kid I had a huge crush on this guy since I saw him in The Mummy. Glad to see him back after all the bullshit he's gone through with his asshole ex-wife.

Idk maybe I'm weird and taking this feminism thing too seriously but I'd 100% get drafted if my country was invaded.

Hmmm, wasn't there a study that showed that cognitive dissonance, or more specifically proving to someone that their own two beliefs are contradictory, caused visible stress in the brain? Obviously there are caveats, "increased activity in the brain" doesn't necessarily equal pain, and cognitive dissonance is not the same as just hearing an opposing viewpoint but it can be a consequence of that.
That said I'm definitely not advocating for sheltering people from opposing viewpoints. On the contrary, cognitive dissonance is a feeling and like any other feeling it can be gotten used to, and the more people talk about stuff the less jaded they'll be when they disagree. Going out of your comfort zone and discussing stuff is healthy, echochambers are not.

Judging by the slashes, that bear REALLY likes thighs. That's fair, everyone has preferred cuts of meat.
