Our thinking can be so twisted by religion. Imagine someone long ago wants to build a really tall tower. Nobody knows engineering, material science, etc. They just start stacking rocks on top of each other like they do when they made short buildings. Eventually it’s so tall and heavy that it’s no longer stable, one side sinks into the ground, and the whole thing falls over. And what’s their takeaway? Is it about learning from their mistake and trying again? No, it’s “God is punishing your hubris!” Religion just poisons the mind.

If it’s not causing any issues, don’t worry about it. If it seems to be causing a dependency or increased anxiety around sleeping alone, then maybe it’s not a good idea. There doesn’t seem to be any consensus among psychologists. Some like it, some hate it. So the best you’re going to be able to do is keep track of how it affects you both and change things up if it becomes a problem.

I don’t know if these bills would help, but there is a need for something to be done. The daughter of a friend of mine was raped by a Lyft driver a few years ago. Going home from a party, she didn’t want to drive because she had been drinking. She thought Lyft was the safer option. It wasn’t.

Good to know. Also an easy problem to fix. Just use phenol free paper.

Huy Fong Sriracha. Just don’t even bother buying any other bottle of “sriracha” sauce. It’s not worth it. Your disappointment will be immeasurable and your day will be ruined.

Ukrainian flag - not political. Russian flag - political.

Israeli flag - not political. Palestinian flag - political.

I think that’s the point of the lawsuit. You can’t claim you’re “completely apolitical and non-biased” when you actually support one side of a conflict and punish your employees who support the other side.

A fact that I hadn’t realized. TIL.

I mean, orange was right there…

Really been enjoying Fallout London. Incredible work for a group of modders. The occasional bug doesn’t bother me much. My only complaint is it’s sometimes very hard to get from point A to point B on the map, and no explanation is given for why.

If one of our billionaires decided to dress up like a bat and beat up thugs it would be an improvement. Instead we get a dozen Lex Luthors and no batman.
