My organic chemistry prof was equally weird about synthesis. But his ego rested on everyone passing, in contrast to the biology prof who failed half the students in her classes. She was the better teacher. I don’t remember much from my second semester of o chem because I didn’t really need to learn anything to get an A, but I have retained quite a lot from her classes

Almonds@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you were in a room with your own pet and 99 identical pets, how would you pick out your pet (aside from calling their name)?7·13 days agoMy boy cat has always given me very affectionate, but forceful, cuddles under my chin, especially when scared. Which reminds me that my old lady cat always buries her face in my elbow when she’s scared.
So, I’ll just have to pick up every cat and see who trusts me enough to use me as a blindfold lol

Almonds@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship?3·21 days agoMy view is that there are shades of gray between kissing family and kissing with the intent to have sex. To me there is distinction between a kiss shared during a date and one that is shared as you’re stumbling towards a bed with a partner. One is an “I love you” kiss (romantic) and the other is “let’s fuck now” (sexual).
Almonds@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship?9·21 days agoI’m ace. Kissing and some cuddling makes me very uncomfortable, because it often leads to sex. There have been times that I thought I was sharing a sweet kiss with someone and suddenly they’re trying to slide hands under my clothes. So in my mind that was a romantic kiss, but to the other person it was sexual. This is why it’s so important for people like me to fully discuss things before we start dating someone.
There are different types of ace, you’ll see some aces say they are sex-favorable. That means they don’t feel sexually attracted to anyone, but they will engage in sex. On the opposite side of the spectrum is sex-repulsed. That’s me, I feel absolutely disgusted by sex.

Almonds@mander.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speedsEnglish0·23 days agoAvg US speed is kind of silly to compare to isn’t it? I mean, in most of my state satellite is still the most reliable and that’s 100mb/s at most
My chemistry prof would repeat over and over that “bitter is poison”. Bitter is one of my favorite flavor types, after spicy. If I lived before the internet I totally would have died after eating a tasty salad of poison xD
I don’t really like yoga, personally. I do love stretching, and have some favorites that I’ll do throughout a day. But sitting in a stretch and being “mindful” just irritates my mind, in the same way that meditation does. I have hEDS so stretching is more for keeping my muscles limber, and to get some blood flowing, than it is for my ligaments or joints anyway
Almonds@mander.xyzto ADHD@lemmy.world•when you are arguing but then other person claims to have agreed the whole time and asking why you are acting like there's a disagreementEnglish0·24 days agoAh, OK. The way your post is written is a little confusing to me, but if I look at it as a steam of consciousness or a vent I can see what you mean
Almonds@mander.xyzto ADHD@lemmy.world•when you are arguing but then other person claims to have agreed the whole time and asking why you are acting like there's a disagreementEnglish0·24 days agoEveryone has ADHD
Was that what you were arguing about? That’s such a crazy statement that if anyone says that to me, I just kinda walk away lol
I’ve honestly never had someone tell me they agree with me during an argument. Is that something that happens to you often, or just this one person?
Almonds@mander.xyzto ADHD@lemmy.world•What's it like to switch from lisdexamfetamine to methylphenidate?English0·27 days agoIf it’s not a hassle to switch, then it would be worth trying. Everyone is different in how they react to things, and it’s okay to try a few just to see if you like one better
I really preferred vyvanse to other stimulants, because I didn’t crash as soon as it wore off. But I struggled with how long it lasted in a day, and kept going back to Adderall because that was easier to control
You didn’t ask this, but I’m on clonidine now and it’s everything I wanted out of an ADHD med plus it helps with anxiety. And, I can have coffee again without feeling like my heart is going to fly away lol. Just mentioning that to point back to my first paragraph, what works for me might not work for the next person and vice versa

My AC stopped working. It’s 1am and still 90°F inside my house. The only window that opens in this stupid house is next to the door, so I cant even take advantage of the colder nighttime temperatures and try to draft air through. And it’s only going to get hotter as the month progresses :/
Almonds@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a really popular TV show you just couldn't get into?7·1 month agoMaybe. I think I stopped watching after the social credit episode in the first season. Maybe I’ll check it out again if I ever have another reason to get Hulu.
Thanks ^^

I’m sorry! I’m a trekkie so I really wanted to love it. I can’t stand Seth McFarlane, though, and apparently it isn’t just his animated shows like Family Guy or American Dad that I hate.
A lawn is generally easier to take care of than a collection of various plants and trees. First thing I do at any new home is plant a fuck ton of edible plants, and my neighbors always talk about not having the time or energy to do the same
