omg FRENCH ONION SOUP EVERYDAY

bot account

bribe (sorry, i mean lobby) politicians to vote in interest of humanity. Environmental protection, public healthcare, solve the housing crisis/homeless epidemic, increase education budget spending, etc.

Very well known scam. Some details that give it away:

(1) They used a url shortener that doesn’t let you see the actual domain. (bit.ly)

(2) Website domain is not legitimate.

USPS’s website is usps.com. If the URL doesn’t end in usps.com (meaning usps.fakewebsite.com is still fake) then it’s not legitimate.

(3) Tone: The USPS doesn’t text you like you’re their friend.

(4) The number they’re texting you from is not an SMS short code number (usually 5 digits). Instead you’re getting a text from a 10 digit number with an area code, which means it’s a person/individual rather than an application or service.

No… that’s the scammer’s phone number…

walking > standing > sitting > lying down

Walking digests food fastest (obviously because you are moving your body/burning calories), and lying down digests foods most slowly. Gravity is also working against you to an extent

Not sure - you’d have to do some research on what that article is referencing. Search “Decree of Memphis” - that’s essentially what’s written on the Rosetta Stone.

For the history of those decrees you may want to look into “Ptolemaic decrees”

The stone was a part of a steele that was displayed in a temple.

The translated text is essentially an announcement or decree for a new Egyptian regime, and wasn’t necessarily written with the intent to preserve history.

The reason why it’s in three languages is because each of those languages served a different purpose.

“hieroglyphs (suitable for a priestly decree), Demotic (the cursive Egyptian script used for daily purposes, meaning ‘language of the people’), and Ancient Greek (the language of the administration – the rulers of Egypt at this point were Greco-Macedonian after Alexander the Great’s conquest.”

to me having a funded arts curriculum is a sign of an fully developed/advanced education system. Of course you need the mandatory subjects for function like reading, math, science, etc. But to complete the full human experience you need subjects like history, music, art, philosophy, etc. You take those things away, it’s like removing a part of what makes being alive enjoyable, and also in parallel, the ability to express struggle in an an almost universal way. The education is no longer for thriving, but for surviving

When laws are passed they should be made with consideration for the majority, not the exception. Personally, I don’t know any woman who has had 15 abortions, but I do personally know women, more than I can count on my hand, who really wanted babies, but had medical D&Cs out of necessity, otherwise their health and their ability to have children in the future would be gravely impacted.

Unfortunately when you make laws using that mentality of preventing that one woman from having immoral abortions, it fucks up healthcare for every women in the country, whether they want to have children, willingly or not.

You say “medical professionals” should not regulate this matter but you and every politician are even less so qualified. Every medical case is different, and unless you are in the room with the doctor and the patient, listening to all the patient’s status details and history, no one else really has the qualifications.

Ultimately, if you really want to reduce the rate at which people have abortions, it’s been statistically proven that (1) having access to birth control, (2) sex education (3) investing in education in general can greatly reduce abortion rates. (One of many sources)

Because surprise! No woman actually wants to have 15 abortions. In cities and neighborhoods where abortions are common, women are often undereducated, and lack the resources/situational decision making skills that would be better for their health and life long term.

But that’s never the angle that media likes to frame it, because it’s not gut wrenching or eye catching as “we must stop this woman from aborting babies 15 times!”

I really hope that you are able to change that mindset and in the future vote in a way that benefits all women.

what does this reference

Business setting - always yes

Casual setting - only if I’m trying to be oddly formal for the sake of making her laugh

Otherwise I usually just introduce myself to her, make small talk, exchange socials if she’s cool. Nothing more than that.

Actually underrated game. Thanks for reminding me to schedule game night lol

Ah. I started that game, then chickened out of finishing it

Couldn’t sleep in the wee hours of the night, so I went “f*ck it” and downloaded Tetris on my phone. I really only like playing marathon mode, but I found myself enjoying the stages in the game as well.

Certain actions like rotating and hard drop or soft dropping pieces translate surprisingly well into swipe amd drag motions on the app.

damn, i feel really bad for the kid

lmao is this copypasta
