Agree. When I say “people are stupid” I mean they are living below their potential. The average person may have the intelligence, but consistently refuse to use it.

Some of us even have difference in sensitivity from one side to the other.

Right?

I mean, you teach yourself to drink something that tastes rotten. It impairs your ability to think and accomplish basic tasks. It increases your risk for legal trouble. It can make you vomit and sick the next day. It damages your internal organs, and it costs a ton. Finally, it traps you into needing it.

Yet, it’s the people who DON’T do it who are weird?

Because people lack both critical thinking skills and an imagination.

The most emotional people I know have been logic-worshiping men.

Almost like denying your emotion keeps you from checking it.

The part of that that breaks down is that one group’s interpretation of it being okay to kill people isn’t necessarily another person’s religious practice. Mocking the latter is like treating everyone who eats bacon like a psychopath who enjoys slaughtering animals.

And religion isn’t always a choice for everyone. It should be, but isn’t always.

Why not buy a kiddie meal?

Thanks for the details!

No. I find it possible to be close to people without romanticizing them.

It is a weak reducing agent, iirc.

It’s the citric acid.

The citric acid in lemon juice is both a bleach and it denatures collagen and protein, which is probably the cloudiness.

Feeling like an actual adult is feeling the way you always have, but going to bed earlier and waking up with a pressing need to pee, but having to oil your joints like the tin man before you can move.

Without prompting, they get me a load of well-rotted manure for Valentine’s Day instead of cut flowers. Even more if they spread it for me without hurting any of my perennials.

Probably McGonagall.

After terrorizing me and abusing my kids for over a year, two days before his wedding to his current wife, my ex asked me if I was sure I didn’t want to get back together.

Genau!
