I know you're just commenting and don't hopefully mean that literally but I'm still obliged to say, the truth is a fact and completely independent of people or their perception/wants of the truth. Truth is by definition objective and not subjective. Which is what this ^ is getting at; along with it gets easier to deny facts the longer you deny them. Nothing removes all respectability from a person faster than saying "my truth". This is both dishonest and idiotic. Dishonest because what they really mean, and they know it, is it's their opinion. Idiotic because we all know it's not the truth and when someone starts by saying "well my truth" the next words out of their mouth should be completely disregarded as nothing more than fiction or an outright lie.

Pain response caused the release of endorphins. You can get the same "mild" response by exercising. Try and get your heart rate up to 120-130 bpm for at least 15 min straight, longer if you can. Minor depression can come on like that and sucks but as long as it's mild and you recognize it you can take steps to help mitigate it. Sometimes all you need is a boost to get over it hence the endorphin release. Other times it's not as effective but at least you're benefiting from the exercise.

fun fact about petrichor is that the smell is always there but the increased moisture in the air allows you to smell things better. And "When a raindrop lands on a porous surface, air from the pores forms small bubbles, which float to the surface and release aerosols". -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrichor

In this case you're both right even if you guys generally disagree. That's pretty rare here on FS so I'll take that as a win. As for posting links all you have to do is edit your comment and you can put in the links.

Seems really effective and provides even coverage. If ate chips more often this is the way I'd be doing it from now on.

This reminds me of Pumped Up Kicks. Catchy tune, relatively upbeat. Lyrics? Holy crap socks what did I just hear.

It's interesting that the most homogeneous countries and the countries that have the greatest support for gender equality are seeing the most diversity in gender roles in occupations. There's a great little clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy4vq8RdPGU&ab_channel=JeremyVineon5-OfficialChannel that sort of covers both sides of the argument. Now I am vehemently against equality of outcome, enforced outcome should never occur and is an evil in its own right. This is good example of equality of outcome represented in a story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron. However, I am also vehemently for equality of opportunities. No one should be limited in their opportunities by anything other than effort and merit.

This is some important self realizations right here. All kinds of mental illness stem from the assumed thoughts of others about yourself when in reality it's seldomly done. Most people only make surface impressions of the strangers around them. Generally they fall into two categories, sexual attraction and danger. But these are, like I said, just surface impressions that rarely get a second thought. This is also the exact reason things like acting like you belong, are on an important errand, or are angry, work so well when you want to avoid attention or be left alone. Are brains just go, nope, and move on.

Washing your hair with nothing but cold clean water is recommended but if you have to use soap or shampoo most people don't need to use more than a dime size dab; longer hair can use up to a nickel sized dab. Most people use way too much soap and this can have negative effects on your hair.

Then there is the whole legal difference between a platform and a publisher. Media platforms are not supposed to regulate what gets published. They get held in a different tax bracket/have to pay less taxes than a publisher. A platform that regulates the media content is then by definition not a platform. This does not include explicit content or content that is illegal by it's very nature. This is why platforms like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc.... have been called into congressional hearings. Of course proving they are intentionally removing content based on (fill in the political blank) is difficult since the companies are not required to keep that information and they "self" regulate.

A second monitor is essential. How else am I supposed to play my games and watch Netflix/Hulu.

No, they don't. That's not to say introverts don't experience social anxiety but many of us don't have anxiety more just a general desire to not be around people as much as possible. Then of course you have the conundrum that introverts are less likely to tell you that so extroverts tend to assume and they will say their assumptions. After a while everyone starts to assume what they're hearing is the truth since they hear it so often. Which brings us to this^. Instead of introverts this is really just describing someone with social anxiety which could be anyone.

Crying releases stress. Depending on the reason for the tears it helps the body deal with emotions and allows the brain to move past issues to focus on the present. Even if you have to wait till you're alone it's a good thing to try and do.

You mean the definition: You have to allow or agree with everything I believe but I don't have to agree with or allow anything you believe. Also if you disagree with anything I believe you are not tolerant and need to be removed.
Yeah we see that alot right now.

Dude that whole series is whacked. I read through most of it and it if Dune or Children of Dune is out there the rest of it just gets worse. It's really about unshackling the human race from the path they've stagnated into and giving them the freedom to expand and better themselves but yeah there is alot of death, misogyny, and the devaluation of human life. The series is literally the epitome of it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Well that explains about half of the story. It certainly wouldn't cover the series. It also completely ignores the protagonist and their final goals.

Hmm, that's a really nice one, most just had an open hole out the bottom. I suppose that was warmer in the winter. Likely the channels on the right were added later, well after the original build.

Not going to lie. I can't really comprehend a processor that has billions or in some cases a trillion transistors. The number is just too large. To think of that many anything on such a small scale and created in just three months is mind boggling. Here's a link to the Wikipedia page for microchip transistors, the numbers get much higher than the M1 Max on some: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count

Wouldn't say they always went around in the buff but it was common in performing athletes or on body training grounds if women were not generally present. "The Greek Body"
By Ian Dennis Jenkins, Victoria Turner.
Spartans were more likely than others to go around naked but it was generally for a reason not just because they decided they didn't want to wear clothes.
Polybius (n.d.). "Histories II.28". uchicago.edu. Retrieved 23 April 2021.
Unless you were a slave then things got iffy. Of course there weren't any laws saying you couldn't just not wear clothes. Interestingly countries that dealt with "barbarians" tended to have more of a stigma about clothing than others.
Plato (1925). "Symposium 182c". Translated by Fowler, Harold N. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press. Retrieved 23 April 2021.
That said you'd be really surprised how many blacksmiths forgo a top when they work. An apron? Absolutely yes. Shirt, meh not really needed if you wear an apron.

Assuming this is supposed to be ancient Greece, or thereabouts, clothing was.... less of a priority. It was not uncommon to just forgo clothing if it was going to get dirty especially if you only had a few sets of clothes.
