Copenhagen is a rad town, I’d recommend visiting if you have time before you have to accept/decline the offer.

Out of all the Scandinavian countries it is the one I would prefer to live in above the others. It shares a land border with Germany, so Central Europe is easily accessible and if you are in Copenhagen then Sweden is just a drive across a very long bridge. Due to this I’d say Denmark is the more culturally open and mixed than the other Scandinavian countries.

Looks like a regular caterpillar orgy to me.

That is… sarcasm, right?

Like, you are being sarcastic, yeah?

Honest question because the world is so upside down right now I really can’t tell with these things anymore.

I quote Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) from 30 Rock all the time when my kids say they are doing good when asked how they are.

“Nah-uh. Superman does good, you’re doing well. You need to study your grammar, son.”

The fact that it is Tracy’s first interaction with Toofer, the black Harvard educated English major on the TGS writing team and the one who says he is doing good in response to being asked how he was doing, just makes it all the more unexpected and funny.

I completely disagree with you and accept your backward opinion as an opinion only, not an objective fact, like my side in this issue.

This is the answer I most relate to. I feel the same way.

I miss some subreddits I was part of in the old days that just aren’t replicated here but the fediverse is not as broad. The knowledge base that did move here feels deeper though. I just hope it doesn’t become an echo chamber because it is too narrow.

There is that but there is also, “yes, it is ok to wake me up by giving me oral sex.”

Usually I am just laying there for several hours in the dark before I fall asleep.

I am trying to get away from that up all night doing nothing but cheap dopamine addictions.

Those teary eyes… I feel attacked.

Honestly though, I’ve been working on it.

I try to go to bed between 9:30-10:30. I’m pretty successful at that most of the time but the problem is I am so used to getting only a few hours of sleep I wake up around 3-5am and then can’t get back to sleep until 6 or 7am, which is too late. I either have to stay up and be exhausted for the day or roll the dice on a nap before the alarm clock goes off.

I’m pretty sure the sign is fake

My guess is because we have to develop creative problem solving skills in order to mask symptoms to avoid the stigma of ADHD or accomplish a similar level of productivity or accomplishment in work/life as those without ADHD.

Creativity and ADHD/neurodiversity has long been associated with each other but I don’t think the reason is predominately due to the brain wiring but more due to the environment in which we live. It is a coping mechanism for living in a world not built to accommodate.

From what I understand, if this technology would have been built out during his time then humanity most likely wouldn’t have developed our semi-processor/radio/computer/telephone technology because the wireless transmission of electricity would have prevented the earliest versions of that tech to work and we wouldn’t have been able to follow that line of technology progression.

During CoVid some friends and I had a virtual movie club called CoVideo Club where we would meet up in VR each week to watch a movie in a virtual movie theater together.

Over the 200 movies we watched we screened all of the Predator movies. I picked the movies and sometimes I wouldn’t tell others beforehand what we were going to be watching during our next session. None of my friends follow upcoming movies so they had no idea about Prey, what it was or when it was coming out. It had been months since we had watched the last Predator movie so when I screened Prey they had no idea it was a Predator movie. It came out the day before we screened it so there wasn’t much talk about it in the media yet.

The slow realization they had that we weren’t watching a western but a sci-fi horror movie set in the Predator universe was fun to sit back and watch play out.

I haven’t seen Prey since but if I remember correctly the first time it dawned on them that this might be a Predator movie was the first time you see the fluorescent yellow glowing blood. They went wild.

Yeah bud, I totally would do that.

I think it is common to have deep feelings for non-romantic partners, friends or family that would be strong enough to compel someone to avenge them if they were hurt or killed.

I’m not saying anything is wrong with you, we all experience our emotions and perceive the world around us and the people in it different, but as another poster said, you may want to talk to a therapist. Your post indicates you may have some stuff you can get help with that may expand your empathy towards others. Not an accusation but some friendly advice.

Personally, I had a lot of anger when I was younger that severely limited my empathy towards others. If I could have sorted it out in therapy a couple decades earlier than I did I know my life would have been better earlier. The connections I now have with me family and friends is deeper than I once thought possible.

It was hard to face my past and who I thought I was but once I did let go of all of that baggage I had much more space within myself for others.

Looks like Lion’s Mane to me.

Very tasty, sauté it with herbs and butter.

Can be cut into steaks or medallions and makes for a good lobster substitute in dishes.

In the current situation with Israel if the US wasn’t propping up Israel than I doubt Israel would be brazen enough to attack Saudi Arabia which would mean we also wouldn’t have the need to reclaim Bagram airport in Israel’s defense.

The current situation with Afghanistan is the result of another US effort to externally support a country in a military campaign back in the 80s.

…

I hope all this never gets far enough for us to find out.

I posted this as a response to a different comment here but figured I’d copy/paste it in response to your question too;

Saudi Arabia has an alliance with Pakistan, including using nuclear weapons as a response in Saudi Arabia’s defense.

If Israel attacks Saudi Arabia, Pakistan responds. Bagram airport is only a couple hundred miles from the Pakistan border and an excellent place for the US to intercept any response from Pakistan headed towards Israel.
