My cat let's me into the bed sometimes.

Straight to jail

Pussyfooting on ice is understandable tho.

This is the way.

Does she really want to make profit or do her own thing? Can she afford it?

Crafts are very hard to make profit from. Many people just think of it as making their hobby slightly cheaper.

Rollercoaster of emotions. I'm imagining how it would actually feel like if there was a sensation of fuzziness. And if magically it wouldn't get clumpy from dirty and oil. In some ways I'd really hate it but I also kinda love that I hate it.

These balls were so satisfying to handle.

"lives off emotional support snacks and instant noodles" I felt that in my soul

As someone considering Win to Mint, why do people keep saying it's basic? What would I be missing? I need the computer for playing games, some hobby media work, internet.

Not that I ever cared for Punisher but I did read a comic or two as a kid and man.... "Punisher on Disney" sounds so very wrong.

The struggle is real.

Opinion of an expert is worth more than the opinions of non-experts.

Dude, "boring" is what I want from an OS. No surprises. No sudden changes. I'm 40.

Appreciate the random Grounded trivia.

Okay in relation to what?

Socially speaking, people will look at you weird.

Hygienically speaking, a bad idea as constant moisture etc. risks both bacteria and fungal infection.

If you touch things that other people touch with saliva in your hands, you might run into some trouble because again, it's unhygienic and most people will think it gross.

If you're cool with all that, you do you but other people don't have to be cool with you doing that.

You don't know that anyone who responds this way actually thinks this. There are a limited amount of ways to communicate that they're not interested and over-explaining and hedging their niceness would also just backfire. They gave exactly as much explanation as needed. It may come off a bit stiff because the tone is neutral (and they only use "I" sentences - speaking only what they know to be true instead of projecting with "you" sentences).

You may want more validation and that's fine. But nobody owes it to you. You say "they just immediately assume I’m some kind of monster" - but you could be doing the same thing in assuming their motivations when they only speak neutrally.

Watching this show for the first time and I'm at s2e10 or so. Pulaski has negative charisma but she feels completely believable as a doctor.

Joo.

Kyllä.

Pliis.

Mielestäni eri näkemysten opettaminen olisi helvetin tärkeää. Vanhemmat saa sitten ihan itse kotona opettaa omaa uskontoaan, jos niin haluaa, mutta julkisen koulun pitäisi opettaa tasa-arvoisesti vähän kaikkia eri näkemyksiä. Ja ennen kaikkea antaa työkaluja niiden henkisten opetusten ymmärtämiseen. Samalla voisi myös opettaa Suomen muinaisuskonnosta ja Kalevalasta (niin pitkälti kuin nyt mahdollista). Siinä voi kaikki sitten vanhetessaan ajan kanssa miettiä ihan itse, löytyykö sieltä jotain merkityksellistä.

Ihan liian moni aikuinenkin nykyään kuvittelee, että jos joku puhuu vaikka "henkisyydestä", on väkisinkin kyseessä suurin piirtein Kristillisyys ja usko asioihin, joita ei voi todistaa. Mikä aiheuttaa lähinnä myötähäpeää, jos on vähääkään perehtynyt uskontoihin ja ymmärtää niiden hyvinkin suuria eroja. Itse olen vähäniiku (Zen) Buddhisti, ja omaan harjoitukseen nimenomaan kuuluu kaiken kyseenalaistaminen. Mutta jotenkin aika moni on valmis ilmoittamaan mulle, että uskon yliluonnollisiin asioihin jne. koska koulussa ei ole muuta opittu.

Ohhhhhhhhh..... I know what you mean and I got shivers from the thought.
