I’ve never heard of that idea before, but it’s really interesting! I wonder how they’d be able to prove something like that?
It seems to me that you’re attempting to equate an internal monologue with intelligence, and I don’t think that’s a fair assumption. An internal monologue is just a brains way of formatting its thoughts and feelings about the information that flows in. There are many ways to do this, and one way isn’t necessarily “superior” to another. That’s just how brains work. And while many intelligent people do have this internal monologue, it’s absolutely not necessary for intelligence.
Side note, one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met is aphasiac, and doesn’t have an internal monologue.
As fun as it would be to see a llama in an airport, having them around would kick up my allergies big time, which would be hell to deal with on a plane with all the pressure changes thrown in.
Pass.
WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS A SNOWMAN WITH A VAMPIRE?
FROSTBITE!!
Usually that doesn’t hurt, but that doesn’t mean that it never hurts. Really it depends on how sensitive they are, or if there are underlying issues (like cysts deep inside the tissue, maybe) that would make pressure on them very uncomfortable, or downright painful.
Uh, lots and lots of people are hungry, lack shelter and jobs. Almost 600,000 people in the US right now are unhoused, and one in eight homes are food insecure (roughly 44 million). The only area where the US is doing good right now is the unemployment rate, which is currently sitting at an ideal 3.7%.
As for causes of civil war, economic inequality plays a large role, as does political deprivation, both of which are rampant (you can thank late-stage capitalism for the first, and the far-right for the second). There are other factors at play, of course, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility for the US to go there.
No, in the same way that it’s not sexist to criticize a person for something unrelated to their gender, and it’s not racist to criticize someone for something unrelated to their “race” or ethnicity.
I think the person in your example is being an asshole, and they clearly don’t understand the definitions of antisemitism or misogyny. Assholes are everywhere, in every country, culture, and religion. Nowhere is exempt. Which is a shame, because people everywhere are deserving of dignity and respect.
Except for assholes.
So, don’t use IVF because it makes frozen embryos, but the only way for frozen embryos to become a person is though IVF, which he’s against….
Dude makes my brain hurt.
Absolutely this. They don’t like being bested by anyone, especially if you’re younger or smarter or a different gender than they are.
Murderbot of course (Martha Wells), also The Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers. Also her novella To Be Taught, If Fortunate
Some would smell bad; some people have nasty hygiene, so you know their tails would be gross and covered with shit all the time
Faith could be your faith in humanity or your faith in yourself or someone else
Bonus points if there’s pie
First off, therapists can be accessed without institutions. Second, a therapist will help you to learn to recognize your own patterns, strengths, and weaknesses, and will help you to learn from, process, and grow though experienced trauma. They can also help with recognizing emotions, toxic behavior (either your own or someone else’s), and give you tools to adjust.
I was wondering, thanks for the flavor drop!
I use an app called Paprika. It’s not free, but well worth it, imo. It removes everything but the recipe, sorts that out into a readable format, has several timer functions that can all run simultaneously, and you can tag and filter recipes however you want.
Clowns are terrifying enough on their own, but now I need to worry about a textile clown too?!
Oh it absolutely does! Gleefully!
