You’re not alone, I love artificial grape

Cactus would love the Pangean interior

Ah, Ike was all wind by the time it hit Ohio and it ripped roofs off and took out power for like a week. Fun to be out in though as a teenager

Grrrrrrr

I’d join the feminist air force

Exactly, also systemic change will have individual consequences. By bearing them early we demonstrate that these burdens are smaller than often imagined.

I love the taste of meat. I struggled to imagine a life without it. I have been a pescatarian now for nearly 3 years. It’s inconvenient at times, but not as much as it once was. Seafood is a treat for me, and I imagine many people can live with meat like that. I am healthier, and I am happy with my choice. By making systemic changes to food people will eat less meat, but while the transition will be uncomfortable, the end result won’t be nearly as bad as they fear.

Some people like sex, others don’t. People with autism/adhd often find ourselves in positions where we’re comfortable violating social norms, whether that’s deciding that you’d actually rather spend all your time on electrical engineering and pigeons instead of having a family, or being a bum who can’t stick with a job long enough to have consistent housing but also lacks the impulse control to not pursue all the sex they want.

A long time ago a hurricane hit Ohio. Good luck to all the deep inland folks about to experience their first hurricane, it’s a weird experience

Have an app mode and desktop mode akin to the steam deck. It’s so nice

Many of the great geniuses fell to one or the other extreme of sexual activity. Might be related to neurodivergence but that’s me speculating

I once had an HR lady who seemed fun, the type you could have a beer with. She was so bad at her job that she was having casual hookups with employees.

The problem with HR is that if you’re liking them they’re probably not doing their job all that well

It also holds a place of endearment in some alternative communities. The BDSM community for example often meets at Waffle House after events for a decompression meal. It’s 2am, they’re open and serving coffee, and nobody judges you there

Yeah that era must’ve been weird. I mostly know of the era of antiquity where “these strange people say the god of medicine is the husband of the Queen of the Dead, but we all know he’s a moon god.”

That’s one way. Another was syncretism. The Romans famously stole the Greek gods, but they also worshipped isis for example. “That god resonates with me, so sure why not”.

Rome was both. The mongols raped and slaughtered. The Romans were too civilized to do that as much, instead they just enslaved some of your village so they could die in the mines or fields or construction projects. And then there’s the internal atrocities. Rome had three servile wars and then without easing up even a bit never had another.

The Kahns were more like the Shahs, conqueror emperors seeking to hold the great titles of the world like emperor of China or pharaoh and in doing so became one. The Romans were like America “we’re different snd our own thing” before being a different kind of brutal

When it comes to religion, yes. When it comes to governance, lol

That one was always weird to me because most of the types of people who’d wear a nirvana shirt are the type who’d like their music. And this is coming from someone born after Cobain died, and no I’m not young

Oh sorry instead we’re going to get fascism

Oh wonderful, I’m excited for my gay friends in Thailand.

A lot of things. Psychology. Physics, maybe try for more engineering degrees, humanities, creative writing, whatever feels right.
