It was a medicine prescribed by a doctor to a patient asking for potential treatment.

Lobotomy is one of the most horrifying fates I can think of. I've heard of her story and especially was shocked by how the procedure was carried out. It struck me as they were discerning whether or not she was still a person.

And "decide to get in the way" can also mean "happens to be in the way"

If left alone it can sometimes fix itself. Shame all the warning labels stopped that.

The dye poured into the river for St. Patrick's is non-pollutant. They've been doing it since 1962, and no issues have cropped up. Supposedly the recipe for the stuff is a closely guarded secret. It starts as an orange dye before it turns the river green. The only worry from enviros is that copycats might start dying rivers with non-safe materials.

That's basis for why I believe we could possibly travel forward in time, the airplane analogy is really good, I pictured it as when we go to sleep, we wake up in the future. Technically, we are constantly moving towards the potential future, but always never reach it since it becomes the present.

Yes, unironically.

My problem is for talking about European colonialism, he fails to point out anything unique or particularly eye-catching about it. I suppose my problem reading the tweet doesn't give any new information since all I see is "__________: Is that yours? It's mine now." To me it just feels like a lazy meme template using genericity instead of specificity passed off as wisdom. I didn't learn anything new from the tweet about Europe and their colony making period of history.

"Is that yours? It' mine now." Is six words that can be acclaimed to any culture that did anything resembling conquering, be it another nation, or the tribe just past the river. That's the fault I find with Neil's tweet. Using this "meme" as a reason to put the blame for why humans do this on one period of history (note: recent history, which we can dissect with much more clarity and nuance than ancient history) from one culture group is erroneous. I'm not saying neil is saying this, in a vacuum he is correct, but across the broader records of history, ancient and modern, we shouldn't take this tweet as exclusive to one culture or group of cultures.
