Even if you don’t get this blatant, percentages are a nice topic to teach about how ads and statistics can easily lie. Also drives home why knowing maths is important.

Would you mind dropping some inspo? I’m a maths teacher, too.

I honestly prefer text over either of those options. Saves time and doesn’t over stimulate. Plus, if I lose focus I can just go back, which would be tedious in a video.

Last week I forgot to pay for one of the items in my bag. Like genuinely forgot that I had it. Had to pay 165€ for shoplifting.

Also: meds cost the same amount as my phone bill. Adds up, too.

Somehow the funniest part is that this isn’t anywhere near as painful as a bad period, and the pain doesn’t last for days at a time either.

I’d upgrade the depression away from my brain and give myself the ability for hyperfocus at will and to turn off sensory issues. Taking the autism and ADHD away altogether would leave me a different human, idk that almost feels like dying a little bit, or being lobotomized. Wouldn’t want to lose a part of my brain that makes me me. But super valid to want to be neurotypical!

Thinking about it, if it counts as an organ, idk if I wouldn’t rather change my immune system to stop attacking healthy tissue and get better at attacking viruses instead. Tough choice.

True! But then it’d make sense to draw another line between east Asia and the middle east

If anything, it’s the divide between Asia and Europe that’s arbitrary.

You’re an asshole. I’m not sorry for saying that.

Can confirm, my country has doctor assisted suicide (as in, they hand it to you to swallow, or you or someone you appointed picks it up from the pharmacy), and it’s very reliable and painless.

I got a 2€ one at Ikea lmao. Get a long one if you have trouble/can’t be arsed to bend down and touch your toes.

What’s the point of having your house be unattached if you’re not going to have a green space? Even a shared one.

Funnily enough, calculator is one of the few proprietary apps I’ve paid for and still happily lose. Wolfram alpha just does many things that other calculators don’t.

I’ve been a guest in households who just don’t flush after peeing. Just after shitting. They closed the lid so it doesn’t smell. We’re not in an arid climate either.

I’ve peed in the shower while also brushing my teeth before. Triple efficiency.

To this day I don’t understand this. My therapist used to ask this so many times and every time I was like:?? In my brain??? Where thoughts and feelings live???

Can someone explain?

Edit: the fact that you nice people here were able to make me understand this question and my therapist did not reinforces why I stopped going!

I’ve had such a different experience than what the article describes! Long nails were usually shamed, you were high maintenance, extra, too girly. Girls with long nails would constantly get reminded that men don’t find them attractive, as if that was relevant (I think I’ve even seen that in this thread).

I guess we have a tendency to do the opposite of what we’re told to do growing up. I love growing out my nails now. Sometimes I feel like keeping them short, too.

I’ve also been a nail biter for over 20 years and short nails are much harder to not bite for me, so keeping them short is an added mental hassle. Still, worth it sometimes.

Someone once genuinely said my eyes were a beautiful interplay of melanin, lipochrome, and Rayleigh scattering (or something to that effect). Aka my eyes are green. Physicists man.

I was made to work on vintage oscilloscopes as an undergrad and trust me, you don’t want that

The fact that this kind of thinking is necessary makes me so sad and angry for you.
