Oxytocin is a big one, but I’m struggling to remember the others. I remember that one cuz of a psych class where the professor brought it up as an event that mothers would associate as having some of the highest levels of it. Its considered the bonding hormone, so makes sense we’d bond with our babies so drastically to keep us motivated to care for them after they ripped our lower body apart lol

With Catholics you’re supposed to confess to a priest, but same difference to them, basically

Perhaps a duck wearing cat ears

I think thats somewhat demonstrated, but its possible the power corrupts and brings those traits out, too

Would make sense since new parents lacking sleep struggle a bit

Carrying a coconut?

Yeah, and part of that skill can be recognizing some meals arent worth it just to enjoy as a hobby. Like I dont fuck with recipes I cant make large batches for leftovers and freeze

I tell forced birthers even if I am murdering a conscious being, I’m justified in protecting myself from unnecessary, nonconsented harm

This. Is. Democracy. Manifest!

From the article:

Singh said the low number of rare breakthrough cases show how effective the vaccine is, and that there are many reasons breakthrough cases might occur, including someone who has a condition that causes their immunity to wane over time

Theoretically, one could be speaking in Italy, but that’s only if Italy exists

… I’ll see myself out

I met my last long term partner on a dating app, but these days it’s not a route I’d want to take. I met someone on discord more recently in a really wonderful community that allowed me to get to know him and make other friends with none of the same pressure

Have you tried using your toes?

Wait what the bloody fuck? I haven’t heard anything about this. Sounds right up their alley, but what evidence is it based on?

10 bad, 15 average, 20 good service. I’ve always gone above 20, having worked plenty of years relying on it for income myself

Depends on whom you’re asking, but lots of christians consider it a sin outside of marriage. Super healthy message to give young kids /s

Well, we can prove the universe exists, but not that it’s some unified, all-powerful thing controlling us all afaik.

It’s why I stick with agnostic atheism. I’m not claiming to know either way on all forms of deism or theism or whatever. There’s enough contradictions and falsifiable claims in all organized religions I’ve been made aware of so far, so I am gnosticly atheist for those specific gods.

Even according to Dawkins definition of sex, there are only two, which is scientifically inaccurate. He’s a fucking esteemed biologist and should know the difference between binary and bimodal.

I’m pretty sure I have some deficiencies, but I’m lucky I got to learn pretty young on a farm. I’m torn between wanting to advocate kids have access to like go kart tracks at school vs funding more public transit and walkable communities, as someone else said. Both would be dope tho
