Of course! Even love! Just mix a dash of dopamine, a sprinkle of serotonin, a shot of oxytocin, and a hint of norepinephrine. Shake well in a nervous system, serve warm, and call it love!

I wish more people understood that EVERYTHING is chemistry.

Do you know what the genetic difference is between a human alive today and one who lived 100,000 years ago? Almost none.

The real difference is shared knowledge. Every generation stands on the shoulders of those before it. You hold in your hands more understanding than any person in history could have imagined.

You will always be ignorant, not as a flaw, but as a truth of being human. Accepting that is where real learning begins.

Stay curious. Curiosity keeps you open to the world. It grows empathy, invites wonder, and reminds you that every person you meet carries a piece of the story you haven’t heard yet.

And when you share what you’ve learned, don’t speak as though you hold the final word. Speak as someone who has explored, reflected, and arrived at their understanding with care.

Learning is a lifelong conversation, one that connects you to every curious mind that ever lived. So keep asking, keep listening, keep growing. The future needs you.

Snoozing is counterproductive. When you hit snooze, you are not getting meaningful rest. You are interrupting your natural sleep cycles and increasing sleep inertia, which is the groggy, disoriented feeling you have after waking up.

You are also training your brain to ignore your alarm, which makes it harder to wake up consistently over time.

Set your alarm for the exact time you need to get up and get out of bed when it goes off. Your body and mind will adjust, and you will feel more alert and rested.

Stop making it harder on yourself. Stop snoozing.

The fact that you need a /s makes me very sad.

Most agricultural products go through screening to remove unwanted materials, but these systems can miss items that closely resemble the food in size and appearance. For example, I once bit into a rock that looked exactly like an almond in a bag of almonds. While it’s a rare occurrence, it’s still important to stay cautious. If something like this happens, contact the company and provide the product’s serial or lot number. This helps them trace where and when it was packaged and check if there was a problem with the screening process.

Yeah, I started on Flubuntu, then hopped to Mantrix, tried out Zorblite for a while, eventually ended up on Quasarch. Thought I’d settle there, but now I’m deep into VortexOS with full Grindle support. Honestly, once you get used to Fluxstack and ZIMFS snapshots, there’s really no going back.

It’s so much more effective when you keep things as neutral as possible. I will often ask it to tear apart my argument as though I am my opponent and use its tendency to align with the user against itself.

Fascists get pretty clever at solving that problem. They create these camps where they can just concentrate them in one place.

Tipping isn’t gratitude, it’s a system that lets corporations avoid paying workers a living wage. The barista earns a few bucks an hour, relying on tips to survive because the company doesn’t want to pay them fairly.

It’s not the barista’s fault. The corpos’ use them as leverage to perpetuate their shitty behavior. If you don’t tip, they suffer, not the business. That’s emotional blackmail dressed up as generosity.

If we keep tipping just to hold the system together, it never has to change. Real change would mean companies paying fair, livable wages up front, even if it makes the coffee more expensive. I’m fine with that and I feel others should be too.

Tipping should be a “thank you”, not a lifeline.

If we truly cared about baristas, we wouldn’t just tip, we would be be advocating for a better system that doesn’t force them to depend on tips to survive. A mass refusal to participate in this broken model is the kind of disruption that could force companies to actually pay fair wages.

Instead, we keep tipping because it feels easier and safer in the moment even though it traps workers in a cycle of dependence. I get it. It’s uncomfortable to stop doing what feels like the right thing. But sometimes, real support looks like pushing for change, not maintaining the illusion of it.

This is probably a real tweet, but I am not going to verify. I’m just not going to do it anymore. I have lost count of the times I have doubled checked to see if the meme or screenshot is from a real tweet and it turns out to be true.

… what?

Yeah, that’s a totally fair concern and is one of the points the episode addresses. Researchers acknowledged that the definition has broadened, but they also emphasized that it reflects a better understanding of autism as a spectrum. It does make the label less specific, but it’s also helped a lot of people. Especially women and people of color. It helped them get more accurate diagnoses instead of being misdiagnosed or ignored.

Overall, it’s a stat worth celebrating as it means more people are getting the support they needed all along.

The Science Vs. podcast just did an episode on this.

Spoiler: It’s exactly as the meme describes. Autism rates are rising not because more people are becoming autistic, but because we’ve expanded the definition and improved how we recognize and diagnose it.

Nothing will beat Trump’s personal Seal of the President of the United States.

This reminds me of the Light Grenade from Mom and Dad Save the World.

I had one that turned 1/8" into it’s own radio frequency. It was really shitty but it worked!

Edit: just looked and they still sell them! https://www.amazon.com/Transmitter-Adapter-Built-iPhone-Players/dp/B076X3GSMH

Why would anyone be stupid enough to not honor them? Now, even if they backtrack, their name is mud. It’s so stupid.

Fast food and major chains have gotten absurd. I used a gift card at Red Robin a couple months back. It was $19 before tip for a dry burger and bland fries. Two bucks more could’ve gotten me a seat and meal at a five-star local place just down the street. The value just isn’t there anymore. Eating local almost always tastes better, feels better, and costs the same or less. Why settle for mediocrity when better is right around the corner?

That’s lovely. I’m my experience, tea people are special people.
