there are at least three houses in new orleans

saw someone misspell "stochastic terror" as "socratic terror" so I'd like to clarify that stochastic terror is the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act that seems random but is not, while "socratic terror" is what every athenian felt when they went down to the agora in the 5th century and saw an old man with a beard approaching them

I put a smell on you

cats when they headbutt you

Doctors are like HERE is your APPOINTMENT if you are late I WILL PERSONALLY kill YOU but when you show up on time they are like I; am so so sor..ry.. Theree, will bbe abt housand yeaars, delayy

This post is so funny bc people are like "that's bc of all the other people before you who ran late or had a problem that took too long (more than 15 min)" wow that's crazy, it's almost like there's an industry-wide problem with overbooking doctors based on the deranged idea that somehow healthcare will be able to be squeezed into the time it takes to microwave a tv dinner and every patient will never have any issues with travel time and that problem is passed onto doctors and patients. It's almost like it's a really bad quality of care to expect someone to cancel their entire days activities to see a healthcare professional once every one to six months for 15 minutes.

Even funnier thing to imagine: resurrecting Diogenes too and telling him that “Platonic” relationships means not fucking, he’d probably laugh himself back to death.

So I actually know the origin of this term because it came up when I studied Plato in my classes.  Basically, in ancient Greece it was a super common practice for teachers to fuck their students.  Like all the time.  It was considered a way for the student to “pay” the teacher.  Plato thought this was bullshit.  He felt that a student could not properly learn from someone who was truly only interested in having sex with them.  He didn’t fuck his students and derided those who did.  Other teachers who refused to fuck their students were said to have “platonic” teaching relationships with them – so named because they were following Plato’s example.  So the reason it’s called a Platonic relationship is because Plato was heavily anti-teachers-fucking-their-students and it’s one of the few things he was ever even remotely correct about.

I'm like if a chivalrous knight kissed a fair maiden's hand and said "my lady, I fight for you" and then walked off and immediately tripped over his own armor and fell on the ground
