Shrimp living in sin almost killed me the first time I read it
I love "Bit idea" followed by a long ass binary code. Took me way too long to check what it meant
I know it means very little, but I wanted to let you know how impressed I am that, despite your personal situation, you still go out to help the people in your community. I can't begin to imagine how you feel and how hard you struggle, but I'm glad there is people like you who despite their personal problems still put this much effort into helping others. It doesn't make things better for you, but you're an inspiring, kind-hearted person and I'm glad you shared your story with us. Thank you, for being who you are and doing what you do. Stay strong, comrade
You're welcome sweetie
I love her so much too! Neha is such a beautiful character, and the VA performance is stellar. I always dreamt of having this kind of voice myself
Well done comrade Moss!
Glad to hear you got out of bed...
...this time
Very true, unfortunately.
I hope the potatoes do the trick and make you feel better long-term.
Didn't know about the processed food thing. It sounds strange at first glance, like, shouldn't the processed stuff be making you feel worse and so on. But those are health issues for you.
Ah, that sucks. Have you by chance figured out a food that helps prevent your migraines? A friend of mine told me they tried certain foods to prevent the migraines. It doesn't always work, but what does with migraines.
Stay strong, I believe in you
Amen, I hate my meat suit too, but I'm glad to hear you found a way to be able to walk outside honey. Take care of yourself, and I hope that being able to slowly go walking again will help with your achilles. The migraines suck, and I hope they won't stay forever.
In an interview with PsyPost, lead study author Jesús Adrián-Ventura said that he and his team found that right-wing authoritarianism was associated with lower grey matter volume in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex — a "region involved in understanding others' thoughts and perspectives," as the assistant Zaragoza psychology professor put it.
So subscribing to "right-wing" beliefs (they merely describe it as adhering to conservative or traditional values) literally makes you less able to understand others. So even the brain shows signs of a lack of community and mutuality between people. While it doesn't surprise me that right-wingers are less understanding, it's intriguing that there seems to be a visible change in the brain. What I'm curious about now is if this can be reversed.
The left-wing authoritarians of the bunch — we don't know exactly how many, as the results weren't broken down in the paper — had less cortical (or outer brain layer) thickness in the right anterior insula, which is "associated with emotional empathy and behavioral inhibition." Cortical thickness in that brain region has been the subject of ample research, from a 2005 study that found people who meditate regularly have greater thickness in the right anterior insula to a 2018 study that linked it to greater moral disgust.
Ok so... left-wingers, according to this study, are less empathetic and more impulsive...
Kidding aside, if we take the article at face value, I think it'd be safe to say that we all need to mediate more and go on as we are. Still, more research would be nice. Hope they don't stop with this study.
I mean, we all agreed the next Pope would be worse, so...
This is gonna make the list of cool things that happened in 2025
Pretty much, yeah.
[...] but can never be truly free
Yeah okay, videos about people dying are immensely uncomfortable to watch, of course you have a (strong) reaction to it. Sorry they were being mean to you for having a normal reaction to a very uncomfortable topic.
Just out of curiosity, did they complain bc they heard you laugh or bc they saw you laugh? And also, if it's no doxx, what made you laugh? I get that it's not a humorous type of laughter but like why is it an issue? Laughing is a common reaction to uncomfortable situations, I don't see why anyone should reprimand you for it.
