Area Man Experiences Consequences, Whines About It

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

If you're in the notes thinking this is really only about little origami stars

[jabberwockypie]

Red flags such as:

- Dismissing his girlfriend’s hobbies and interests.

- Talking her out of buying fancy paper because HE doesn’t think it’s important. (Why does it matter if she spends her money on something she likes for her hobbies?)

- Destroying a thing his girlfriend made, repeatedly

- Disregarding when she asked him to stop, because he just couldn’t help himself.

- Ignoring that this thing he’s doing clearly upsets his girlfriend

- Lying to her repeatedly

- That whole mess of homophobic nonsense in the update, and acting like he’s the victim when he actually experiences consequences.

Classic DARVO response (Deny, Attack, Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender).

- First he says it wasn’t him, must have been her roommates destroying her things.

-It’s not a big deal, they’re just little paper stars, why are you making such a big deal about this? It doesn’t matter.

- Trying to guilt-trip her about how she could have seriously damaged his computer with that glitter!  Why is everyone being so MEAN telling him he’s the asshole? And how dare she date someone else! Can’t you see how unfair and TERRIBLE she’s being to him? And he’s ALL ALONE for Thanksgiving because she’s just being so UNREASONABLE. (Totally ignoring that these things are all consequences of his actions.)

Reminder: You can break up with someone for ANY REASON. Even if it’s “not a big deal” - if they’re not respecting you, your belongings, or your boundaries, that is TOTALLY a valid reason to break up with somebody or end a friendship.

is there anything, any single thing, cuter than when a sleepy cat heaves their whole entire body into a sigh,

[gendercents]

sleepy cat kneading kind of half heartedly but absolutely refusing to stop

[all-pacas]

uh huh uh huh what about sleepy cat waking up just long enough to realize your foot/arm/side/neck is right there and sort of half consciously moving to snuggle up to it, doing that thing where they’re curled in a ball but still also showing their tummy

[gendercents]

a ha! but consider, sleepy cat snuggling up with you and then reaching out a single paw specifically to hold your hand, and then dragging it back and cuddling it like a teddy bear

[all-pacas]

you make a good point, however, have you considered the moment when a cat sort of headbutt-burrows itself under your arm, pressing its little tiny head up against you and under you like it is almost trying to cuddle so much that you merge

[gendercents]

i see your point and it is a fine one, however, what about when it’s cold and you’re wearing a baggy jacket and your sleepy cat paws their way inside and falls asleep purring against your heart

[all-pacas]

once again, a solid rebuttal! however, might i suggest when your cat is snuggling with you and purring and yet also falling asleep and is struggling to keep purring while also sleeping and so the purr fades and then comes back and then fades again

[gendercents]

it appears i’ve been outmatched! a very fine suggestion indeed

[all-pacas]

you were a most worthy opponent, my good sir; i tip my hat to you and your valor

[radicalbrownbabe]

shoutout to the survivors who are not forgiving, who do not believe that what happened to them was ‘for a reason’, who know they did not deserve it, who are angry at what happened to them, and who do not show the typical ‘good victim’ trope. You all get so much shit from people about how you should act from your trauma because only ‘good victims’ are deserving of empathy and support. You deserve so much more than that.

[chotomy]

getting an archaeology degree did not make me smarter but it did take me from “lmao isn’t it funny some people think the pyramids were built by aliens” to “i will put venomous snakes in your washing machine if you so much as lightly suggest the pyramids were built by aliens”

[chotomy]

why is this getting notes again *sees ancient aliens trending on twitter* oh, Motherfucker?

[trash-like-me]

I’m still reeling over the fact when I went with my friend to a renaissance fair, there was a lady who was handing out samples. My friend took a bite of it and all I heard was

“My lord that’s soap”

[hearthburn]

Is that Roman Bath? 'Cause our Faire has Roman Bath that hands out lil soap samples and apparently someone ALWAYS eats the soap. I developed a habit of wandering by at least once a day and going 'so how many?' and the sample hander-outer would be "Three today" or "Six and it's not even lunchtime, what the hell". On one occasion "Two, but one of them went 'ooh, soap' before she bit into it and I'm still confused."

“Stop scrolling and please help me spread the word, because if I’ve landed on your page you’re most likely either a black woman or someone who cares about black women and the simple phrase I’m about to share could help save a black woman’s life.

Doctors are to black women what police officers are to black men. That may seem controversial but I believe it to be true and I speak from personal experience.

If you’ve seen this TikTok you know that a 2016 study showed that 50% of medical students and residents thought that black people couldn’t feel pain the same as white people.

And we learned from this video that because of a 1999 study, to this day, there’s a black correction factor for the creatinin levels in black people’s kidneys, meaning we’re less likely to recieve a kidney transplant if needed.

So if you go to a doctor, feel you aren’t getting proper treatment or they refuse the treatment you’ve requested, say to them the following:

I will need you to document on record that you are refusing the treatment (or medicine) I’ve requested, and the reason you are doing so.”

Well my week has been exciting so far.

[neat-deadandlive-things]

I had some other work to do this morning (Figuring out some algae stuff involving 1000 L mesocosm up a mountain) so mystery species has been sitting alone in the lab all morning…..

[neat-deadandlive-things]

Made it up to the lab today to find this. It’s probably from the fridge defrosting and not the creepy “algae”.

[neat-deadandlive-things]

June 13th Update.

According to a few colleagues it’s either a plant, an algae, or a fungi. So that’s been helpful.

After a day with some sunlight I think I might be seeing some chloroplasts.

It seems to like the nutrient solution I added yesterday though!

[lynati]

I for one welcome our new plant, algae, or fungi overlords.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I was about to say “in a sensible lab people wouldn’t waste time with this, they’d autoclave the bottles and move on” but on reflection I can’t think of a single bio lab I’ve been in that wouldn’t immediately go “ooh, mystery algae, that sounds like a fun challenge; let’s devote multiple hours to identifying it for no reason”.

[kit6]

I need updates tell me about the algae

[neat-deadandlive-things]

The mystery algae/plant/fungi/alien is stuck in the university growth chamber. With everything going on I probably won’t get to check in on it until September, possibly not until 2021.

[howieduet]

So by that time it will have developed what, writing?

[neat-deadandlive-things]

God I hope so, then I can train it to write my thesis!

[alexaloraetheris]

This entire post is the most on-brand biologist thing I have seen in my entire godforsaken life. The moment this pandemic is over these guys have another crisis ready for us.

[lucky-182]

Can we get an update cause this is crazy

[neat-deadandlive-things]

Update: Due to the global pandemic, the algae has been left alone in a weird hidden growth chamber for a year and will likely stay there for another year. Enjoy that information!

[expectedbehavior]

Oh god oh fuck oh Jesus fuck

[sandersstudies]

Anyone else, esp. neurodivergent people, ever talk to someone and get elated because you’re like wow :) I am doing a Conversation :) I am doing the Asking Questions and Listening Attentively and Expressing Interest :) I have shared a Joke or brief Amusing Happening and this person liked it :) this person seems to enjoy speaking to me and I enjoy speaking to them :) I’m a person.

[sandersstudies]

I once was talking to someone I admired and they told a joke about our managers and I added to the joke, and they laughed so hard they couldn’t talk  and I was like thank you for laughing I have truly never experienced this level of euphoria and also I would die for you now.

[sandersstudies]

Recognition Responsive Euphoria is a hell of a drug 

[f1rstperson]

I do this and I’m like “This is great. I’m going to get a good grade in conversation, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,”

[ruffboi-mags]

............................okay but it never fuckin occurred to me that there was an OPPOSITE THING to RSD so now I'm sitting here looking at some pages about RRE going "well fuck, I should've expected this was a thing, but also HOLY SHIT THINGS MAKE SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW????"

[simonalkenmayer]
