*goombella voice* That's God... he's the nasty little fucker that created this realm. Max HP is 50, Attack is 5, and Defence is 1. Watch out for that "Divine Wrath Hammer" attack! It says here that he draws power from his worshippers. Jeez! You'd think this guy would have better things to do than come here and attack us...

Imagine going about your daily life blissfully unaware that there’s a research team dedicated to tracking you through your actual shit

The lead researcher's bluesky has updates from as recently as two months ago. They still haven't identified the guy, but they did find out that 32 separate unique Ohio covid strands they were chasing were ALSO all this guy ‼️ So if you or someone you know fits the profile, and especially if you've been dealing with weird GI symptoms for ~4 years now, reach out to him!!

"Your love language is what you were deprived of as a child" actually no you're allowed to want, prefer and like things without everything tracing back to some dormant unprocessed trauma. You can just say you want to bounce on it without having to explain how as a child you always wanted - but never got - a trampoline.

Maaaaaan grandpa wouldn’t even get to know if the kid made it or not 😭

maybe it's because i was raised catholic but churches shouldn't look like furniture stores

Small correction here: while combined NSAID use can hurt your liver in extreme cases/dosages, they're actually a bit more dangerous to your kidneys. They are definitely an inflammation killer though (they target COX enzymes that make prostaglandins which contribute to inflammation in a big way), and when your pain is due to inflammation they're really good. When it's not, Tylenol is a suitable alternative (it blocks a sub-type of COX enzyme, we're pretty sure, but specifically in the brain), but Tylenol is actually a bigger danger to your liver; make sure you take the recommended dosage and don't exceed the max. But overall, yes, livers and kidneys and stomachs should all be protected from poor OTC drug use!

Glam kitchen woman and that twink who makes old dessert recipes are on different ends of the same spectrum I just don’t know what that spectrum is yet

the spectrum is cooking. it's the angles that are the suprise

whatever whatever the “dopamine addiction” industry is lying to you the point of life is to have as broad a range of pleasures as you can. the problem with dependency is not that it’s evil to be dependent on something, it’s that it can be unhealthy to rely completely on a singular source of happiness/pleasure/escape. this does not make the desire to escape inherently evil or some kind of inherent weakness. you are not addicted to dopamine you have a habit of relying on one thing for all your needs and that is a habit you can change slowly over time without complete ‘abstinence’ so to speak. and comparing any of this to a substance addiction is unhelpful + unhealthy + will get your local addict (me) to kick you in the shins very hard

no, you're not interpreting it wrong at all. that's pretty much exactly what people are saying when they talk about 'dopamine addiction'. the problem is that they're framing the problem as 'it's bad to feel too happy all the time'. when the truth is closer to 'for a variety of reasons, it's probably ideal to have a diversity of different sources of happiness rather than turning to the same source of happiness all the time' and 'being able to sit in discomfort is a good skill to develop (but that doesn't mean you should have to be uncomfortable 24/7/365)'

should be able to leave kudos on scientific studies. i liked your paper dude keep at it

sorry, Dr. Dude

Dude et. al.

need y'all to know that most academics have publicly searchable email addresses and this not only makes their day but they can put nice emails in their giant packets for applying for jobs or tenure. "hi i read your paper for a class and it was very helpful, im at xyz college and the class is blah with professor blah" is sufficient and ENORMOUSLY helpful
