Herpes simplex virus, type 1 (HSV-1) infects over 3.4 billion people, world-wide. Though it can cause encephalitis, in the vast majority it

getting a cold sore and becoming fucking autistic lol

[3liza]

i was joking but now that i think about it this could explain some of the "regression" seen in toddlers who develop normally up until they start really showing autism symptoms. that is about the age you would pick up HSV1 from casual contact, in theory

In Eridanese, repeating a word is considered rude.

Every time Rocky says “amaze, amaze, amaze!” The closest actually English translation is: “That’s fucking awesome!!!!”

Or “bad, bad, bad.” Would be “this/that fucking sucks”

And Grace shows up 75% dead and linguists are all so excited to get a chance to speak with The Alien™️

Grace, determined to be a good role model and represent his race in a flattering light: “What the fuck is up my dudes?”

The biggest bullshit with Adultism is basically that the people will defend it with: "Well, if we did not force X on kids, kids would not do it, because they hate X."

And then you actually look onto the research.

Kids do not generally hate learning or school. Quite the opposite. Children tend to enjoy learning and are naturally curious. It is exactly the fact that they are forced into school and into the rigid structure of it that often punishes curiosity but also is hostile towards the differences inherent in people, that kids hate it.

Kids do not naturally hate medical care. While medical care is scary at times, the fear usually comes from medical care scenarios being defined by adults overriding a child's agency, not explaining things to him, and otherwise being abusive, that makes children afraid of medical procedures. Additionally the way a lot of medical procedures go hand in hand with denying a child's reality ("Look, it is not that bad") tends to be traumatizing to children.

There have been studies done in this. If you explain a child - even a toddler - what you do and why, children will generally be a lot more okay with stuff like needles and simple procedures, and will even agree to necessary surgical interventions.

If you create a learning environment that allows more for self-directed learning, and involves less specific testing, most kids actually will enjoy learning.

The way kids hate school, and are afraid of doctors is the result of those interactions being associated with violence and coercion. The hatred is because of the coercion, rather than the hatred making the coercion necessary.

I fear I keep falling into the trap of "if I can do it it clearly doesn't take any skill/talent and is therefore no longer impressive" and I don't think that mindset is beneficial for me (feels bad), people at a similar skill level as me (feel like their skills and efforts aren't impressive), people at a higher skill level (diminishes the work they've put in to be at this level) and people that struggle with it (if it's not a skill that takes work they "shouldn't be struggling")

Watching a bunch of plane crash videos on YouTube has genuinely made me a somewhat better driver. I used to be more prone to going "oh my god I gotta make a move now!!!" and just letting myself be pressured by circumstances, but seeing how pilots train to take a step back when they get a sudden jolt that seems to demand urgency has taught me to be better about not doing that. It's fine if I miss an exit, Google will redirect me and the worst that will happen is losing a minute or two.

[argumate]

dammit I literally said this exact thing out loud today, I mean I'm talking about plane crash stories every day of my life so it's not that big a coincidence but still, eerie.

actually we need to be humble and give credit where credit is due. none of this would be possible without the greatest warrior for depetrolisation and electrification, Mr Donald Trump and his friends in the Iranian Republican Guard and BYD.

Everyone say "thank you Donald Trump and Iranian Republican Guard for introducing instability and price hikes to international petroleum markets to accelerate electrification and the adoption of electric vehicles, and thank you BYD and the People's Republic of China for building and exporting cheap electric vehicles <3"
