Works that way with pain meds too. Utter bullshit

I would say your best bang for the buck is something concentrated you can add in small amounts, combined with cheap frozen veggies.

Marmite, fish sauce, whatever kind of umami face slapper you prefer, plus a handful of frozen peas will go a long way towards satisfying you rather than just feeding. Gotta go easy on stuff like marmite though, the salt levels combined with the packet can be intense.

But you can grab a bag of peas, plus whatever other veg you like. Split them up into single serving containers of whatever sort you prefer, then just pull them as needed. You gotta make sure that the biggest pieces will be done in the time ramen takes to boil and finish, but that isn’t difficult

Bitches about “overachieving hillbilly’s” but can’t manage to type the correct plural: hillbillies

If you like nazi bars with constant arguments and nastiness, sure.

Absolutely fine, glad it sparked interest :)

Mainly only if you’re into film as a hobby. Don’t get me wrong, the stuff others have said about the story itself make it a good watch overall.

But it’s no better in that regard than any other teen drama movie.

It’s the way it was done that really makes it significant, imo.

Hughes had this really distinct visual style. Bright, vibrant, and kinda larger than life. He used it to take a look at slices of life that were, in the breakfast club, angsty as fuck. Most scenes are vivid, and the drama plays out in that almost candy coated world.

Since the cast was perfect for their roles, something else Hughes was great at imo, they managed to each fulfill their stereotype in a way that pops out of the screen. The very artificialiality of the cinematography and the almost cheesy costuming allows you to skip past a lot of immersion barriers and just enjoy the characters and dialogue.

Hughes was really good at that balance. The Breakfast Club is the best example of his vision. And, because it influenced so many other filmmakers and the industry, it’s an important one to watch from that perspective, even if it isn’t really going to resonate as well with someone born much later. Not that it can’t, or won’t at all, just that the entirety of teen living shifted post internet, and much of the gen Y range falls into that era.

So, yeah, if you’re into film as a hobby or more serious interest, you need to see it, and Ferris Bueler. Maybe throw in uncle buck as well as planes, trains and automobiles. Those two are kind of inverse because they’re built as comedies first, and that makes the vibe of the drama in them work different than his drama first movies (though Bueler may be debated about which it actually was as a base)

Yeah, as part of a yearly exam for sure.

The “hold em and cough” test is for hernia, inguinal in specific. Those are possible without any specific external cause in childhood and teen years, and it isn’t something you can do yourself. You can refuse it though. Thing is, they’re better off being detected early. Should take no longer than two or three coughs.

Same goes for a testicular exam, but if you aren’t checking your own regularly, let the doc do it until you learn how to do it right. A proper testicular exam for abnormalities can take a bit longer, though only a few minutes at the outside by someone well practiced.

Otherwise, you’d only expect visual exams by most doctors.

Generally, if the young person has a penis and testicles, their primary doctor will do the exam, and that’s often a pediatrician even well into the teen tears. Young people with vaginas and vulvae may or may not have this equivalent exams done by a gynecologist, though it is more common once puberty hits afaik.

Nah, it can be annoying, but cross posting is a good thing. It decentralizes content. Not all instances are federated with all the others. Multiple communities is healthy for the fediverse. So cross posting is also healthy. Yeah, it would be nice if there was a way to collapse cross posts, but I’d rather deal with it than have things get too narrow.

Now post flooding? That can get old fast. Chill. Spread that shit out. We ain’t gotta see it all at once.

You ever seen a brawl at waffle house?

Clear winner amongst all the stoners, soccer moms, and drunks from the other places

It supposedly has an edge in terms of pulling out oils in particular.

My problem is that, as you said, it’s harder to find, and I have a limitation in what I can use to begin with.

I can’t say, when I have used a powder vs a liquid in the past that the difference is so significant that I would bother to hunt down a powder that also fits my niche needs. But if you’re not limited, I would say it’s worth it on average

As someone who is always right, I can definitively say that when someone wrongly thinks the world revolves around them, they are the most annoying thing compared to someone simply being wrong in my presence. They should know the world revolves around me smdh.

Legit though, solipsistic narcissism is more entertaining than inaccurate pedantry, so I go with the knowitall

That quote turns a neat little thing into a joke.

The price makes it an insult

Hmmm, but that standard, I would err on it being inseparable, and mostly on the side of being a benefit.

Any complex life form needs complex environmental feedback of some kind, because if it’s anything like life as we’ve conceived of it, it needs external energy (food in our case) and avoidance of damage (no matter how mild the environment).

Sentience is just a high grade of that fundamental concept. It’s the difference between something like a plant that grows towards light and away from competitors; and something like a shrimp that makes a constant loop of processing external stimuli vs internal algorithms that predict probable outcomes.

As such, it can only be a benefit on an evolutionary level that the form of sentience become as complex as the niche the organism needs to fill/exploit that niche. A shrimp only needs a low grade of sentience because it’s a fairly simple and small niche. An eagle would be a higher complexity sentience because the scale it functions in is massive and involves wider risk/reward variables, with attendant import to outcomes.

I don’t think any organism will develop more sentience capabilities than it needs for long, nor will it keep it for long once a given level of need is past. If eagles all get sent to a large underground bunker, they don’t need the brain power to process everything, nor the energy it takes to maintain it. You’ll end up with a simpler processing of stimuli. Less flexibility, but also less “stress” from repeated decision making.

None of that requires thought though. Decisions on that scale “is a rabbit going to fight back enough that I should avoid it”, where accumulated data in memory can be used to guesstimate outcomes, they don’t require a conscious process, any more than us catching a ball does. To the contrary, thinking about some things makes them harder to do well. If an eagle had to think its way through snagging a running rabbit, it would be fucked.

And that’s really where sentience ends: thought. When there’s a “self” to make a decision based on conflicting stimuli and memory.

So I don’t think sentience can ever be more of a drawback than a benefit. By its nature, it happened because it was a more successful way of surviving long enough to breed.

So it should work like it does with my tablet and phone. One being the primary the main profile/phone and the other being secondary side profile/tablet.

Well, anyone watching would already know I’m fucked in the head. So I doubt they’d be surprised when I went on a killing spree for having been violated like that

What? You think the nanobot drones disguised as vaccines are new thing?

When the world shits on your neck, go out hard

What’s your definition set? Are you using sentience as being the same or different from consciousness and/or sapience? There’s multiple usages for sentient as a term, and this is a complex enough subject that I don’t want to waste your time yammering on about the wrong thing lol

Ah, they just opened up the ability to connect devices to an account. I have it on my tablet and phone simultaneously. The tablet only fetches messages when I open the app though. Not sure if that’s intended, or something about my device, and I actually prefer it to notifications on both anyway; which other messagers do on the same devices.

I’m not sure how it would work on separate profiles on the same device though. If it’s one account, it would seem strange if it did work fully since they’re both linked to the same number/account. Two accounts might work, I dunno

I’ll answer with a question that should well serve as an answer

What boycott?
