You need to dumb it down a bit if you want me to understand

You can’t set me up like that, I’m tapping out. Someone else explain basic human decency to this person, plz.

I’ve asked what the pearl clutching itself accomplishes.

Have you asked the same question about your disingenuous hand wringing? 🤔

Is pineapple good on pizza? <— a debate

Are human rights guaranteed to all humans? <— a fucking ghoulish question that you deserve to be mocked for “debating”

B-but I just want to have a civil debate about why genocide is ok, why won’t anyone be nice to me? Wyahhhhh, such toxicity! People are so small minded if they can’t accept ethnic cleansing :(

It’s because you’re so speshul. I actually have your picture on my wall.

Sugar addiction is not the same as a drug that causes physiologic dependence, like cocaine or opiates.

But

You can become addicted to sugar, or anything that makes you feel good, because you’re basically hacking into the cocaine repository that’s already in your brain. Anything that triggers a hit of dopamine and/or noradrenaline - gambling, shopping, sex, food, weed - can cause addictive behavior, but you’re essentially addicted to your own neurotransmitters and not the thing itself.

This is generally good advice but I’d use https://us.feliway.com/products/feliway-classic-spray-60ml?variant=33417856155783 (If it’s available in your region) to spray on the spots instead of vinegar. Cats don’t typically eliminate where they’ve scent marked, and the spray is full of marking pheromones from their feet.

That’s going to be hard with a mask on

What an interesting question!

I was raised Protestant by an exmo and a lapsed catholic. I still like some of the music, and I think a lot of Christian mythology is really interesting. Jesus occupies a “cool dude” role in my belief system, but he’s not the main focus.

I was a pretty devout practicing pagan for a while after leaving Christianity.

Now I just kinda do my own thing, loosely cribbed from the parts of Christianity that I like and some chaos magic stuff and some kemeticism and whatever else seems cool. I kinda focus on nonduality and go from there.

I really enjoy the idea of ritualistic worship, but that attraction feels like the kind of chemical attraction in my brain that would have taken place whether I was raised in a church or not.

Fyi the Hexbear code says if you don’t want to have this debate you just need to say “disengage” and the person is supposed to respect your boundary.

I don’t know if people know that or not.

stilt·ed /ˈstiltəd/ adjective

(of a manner of talking or writing) stiff and self-conscious or unnatural.

(Psst, it has nothing to do with stilts)

Nah, your weird attempts at persuasion via stilted language and false objectivity are real fuckin tiring already and I just joined this conversation.

Try your bullshit concern trolling on someone else ❤️

“B-but! Someone called me mean names when I said asinine reactionary shit! That means they’re trolls >:(“

”They’re combative” Insults our beloved mods for no reason

Uh-huh. Such decorum. Much good faith.

Her writing is awful, wooden, and stilted. Her dialogue is painful. Her characters are boring at best and outright racist stereotypes at worst.

She either doesn’t know how to write skillfully or chooses not to. I figured the former was more charitable.

Harry Potter is the product of just one brilliant barely literate woman’s imagination.

! I just assumed, lol

They have an episode where they talk about the birthday paradox and then follow it up with talking about how the math isn’t 100% correct as applied to humans bc birthdays aren’t normally distributed.
