''what if you regret it'' then you will expirience regret - a normal and unavoidable part of the human expirience.

the more you twist yourself into a pretzel to avoid regret the harder it will hit when it eventually catches up to you.

How is obsession with avoiding regret feeding fascism?

if you maniacally stay in your comfort zone, in what you think you're allowed to do and who you're allowed to be, fearing you might regret stepping out of that box even a little because it could result in being ostricised by your enviroment, even if your soul tells you you don't want to live like this and you still keep yourself too fearful to speak up, you are practicing conformism and conformism is a snack for facism. you cannot defeat facism from inside a cradle.

man sometimes friendship really is just "I saw this and knew it would give you psychic damage. please respond with agony" and then they do. and it's great

Irrational hatred: people believe in a pseudoscience and defend it passionately but NEVER are willing to do any science about it. My beloved friend! If you can prove that people born during a specific and predictable time have a specific and predictable trait, we will PUBLISH. If a specific rock structure results in a quantifiable effect while adjacent to the human body, we will write a BANGER paper together! If plants can form memories then let’s write a follow-up paper and get funding for a lab!! Make a survey! Generate a testable hypothesis! Don’t be so incurious about the world!

At the local hamburger shop and they said yelled out “order 167!” And three middle school age kids yelled in perfect unison “ 6 7!” Life is sometimes so beautiful

If you reference 67 you deserve to be executed on the spot tbh

If I was king for a day the first thing I would do would be to sentence you to a life full of love and understanding.

i’ve had this queued for 365 days

i hate it when people mistake "etymology" with "entomology." like, i know where they coming from but it still bugs me

Gandalf has a lot of trust in gay hobbits, just like as a genre.
