hey when you make posts, i just want you to know, thou/thee/thy/thine/ye are like he/you(object)/your/yours/you(subject) okay? "thou art wearing shoes," "i will wear shoes for thee," okay?

you say thine if the next word starts with a vowel and thy if the next word starts with a consonant and they both mean "your" so "thine own shoes," "thy shoes," okay?

and ye means you and refers to the subject of a sentence, "ye members of the brotherhood of shoes," okay? you need this information to create better knight yaoi. i'm personally more interested in nun yuri but we are a community

The thing about ADHD is that the "lack of reward chemicals in your brain" doesn't just mean that you don't want to do any tasks that don't feel particularly yummy :(, it means that your brain will look at chores and tasks that need to be done like "doing this would be painful and tedious for absolutely nothing to gain from it, Do Not Do That." The same thing that your brain tells you about everything else that would feel really bad and hurt the entire time that you're dying. The part of your brain that stops you from doing the thing is the same part that keeps you from shoving your arm into a wood chipper.

With unmedicated, unmanaged ADHD, "I have to do this assignment or I fail and my life will be ruined and I die" feels like a SAW trap, every single time.

Articles written by neurotypicals will be like “ADHD children find the external motivation of the SAW traps is very effective. Here’s how to build SAW traps to maximize their productivity.”

What Christian-background Antitheists mean when they say they're against Judaism: "I want you to stop worshiping your god."

What Jews and other people from ethno-religions understand when someone says that they want you to stop being Jewish or other religion: "I want you to stop worshiping your god, stop having your festivals, stop having your holidays, stop having your own language, stop eating your traditional foods, stop observing your rituals, stop using your calendar, stop wearing your traditional clothing, stop holding your cultural norms of morality, stop holding your cultural norms of modesty, stop your cultural outlooks of identity, stop using your names, stop practicing all of your inherited ties to your ancestors, stop having your connection with your heritage and your history... just... stop being different and instead be like me, with my holidays, my foods, my language, my norms and culture, my clothing, my identity, my stripped-down heritage."

And then the Antitheist claims that that's not what they mean... but when you try to explain, they refuse to listen. And that's on them.

If ANYONE is denied due process, NO ONE is safe.

"But I'm here legally! I don't have a criminal record!" So? We know now that at least some of those rounded up by ICE/DHS were in the US legally and had no criminal record, but without a hearing, never had a chance to prove it. Even if they'd HAD hearings, the current regime is revoking visas and green cards right and left, and refuses to comply with laws and court orders it doesn't like.

As indicated above, it doesn't matter if you're in the US legally or not. Hell, a Canadian celebrity with no criminal record and proven business ties, who had been to the US multiple times before, was imprisoned for two weeks--again, without so much as a hearing--when simply APPLYING for a work visa.

"But I'm a citizen!" How would you prove that without due process? And even if you could prove it, this regime has announced its plans for mass denaturalization, and--again--has already shown it doesn't care about the rule of law.

If you think you're safe, you're deluded.

I feel like it's a good time to point out that Hitler began with revoking the naturalization of any Jewish immigrants to Nazi Germany. (many Jews in Germany at the time were refugees from WWI) Then he stripped German Jews of citizenship in 1933 and expanded to Roma and Afro-German people in 1935. He did all this specificially to pull the "well they're here illegally" card when deporting them to Madagascar or Palestine.

Also, yes, the original goal was deportation. Turns out it's very difficult to move millions of people across the world. Nazi Germany just wanted them gotten rid of-they didn't care how.

We have to acknowledge these actions as what they are. They are steps towards extermination. Today it's green card holders. Tomorrow it's naturalized citizens and children of immigrants. At the same time it'll be left-wing activists who speak against the god-emperor. Eventually they will drop their mask and outright criminalize being anything but a straight white Christian, but they won't do that until they've disappeared and propagandized enough people that it's socially acceptable to say it.

We know where this ends.

Anyone failing to entertain significant paranoia that they'll be next isn't paying attention

really not fucking around when i tell you to have a session 0 where everyone figures out PC relationships btw. in high school i played a game of dnd where i was a human rogue assassin from a murder cult and then found out on game day that there were two more human rogues and that those players had come up with their own murder cult.

Congratulations on achieving a “Classic Larson”!

Can we dispell with the notion that there are people who don’t want health insurance?

One of the big arguments against the individual mandate (the now-overturned clause of the Affordable Care Act that required everybody to purchase insurance) is that we shouldn’t force people who don’t want health insurance to buy it.

Who doesn’t want health insurance? That is, if you polled the general public and asked them, “In the event of an illness or injury, would you like to pay your medical bills out of pocket, or would you like to have them covered?” is there any human who is going to say that they’d prefer to pay their own way?

Are there people who need to spend their money on more immediately pressing concerns than a safety net that protects them in the event of an illness or injury that hasn’t happened yet? Of course. But to characterize a young, healthy, poor person as someone who “doesn’t want health insurance” is disingenuous. If that health insurance were made available to them for free or very cheap - as it would be in a single-payer system funded by a graduated tax - they would not turn it down. The issue is that the price tag is currently too high.

And removing the individual mandate has only accomplished making it even higher.

It's hydrofluoric acid friday!

Give it up for hydrofluoric acid!!!!!!!

No cheering for this dangerous cunt. Pour it on the floor for fireworks.

isnt hydrofluoric the shit that seeps into your skin and melts your bones from the inside?

Yes!

Hydrofluoric acid is a major health risk. Contact exposure at 1% concentration can put you in the hospital.

Low concentrations of hydrofluoric acid can permeate the skin easily and is lipophilic. The fluorine ions will react rapidly with the calcium in your bones and blood causing huge amounts of problems.

If you are exposed to hydrofluoric acid immediately rinse the area with clean water for at least 15 minutes. After you must apply calcium gluconate gel to the area until such time that you arrive at a hospital.

Yes! On the morning of June 21st 2019 at 4 AM a pipe carrying hydrocarbon gas and hydrofluoric acid burst in the alkylation unit of the Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery. The leak began to evaporate filling the room area with a flammable and corrossive fog. The ground hugging vapor was about 10 feet high. Within minutes on site staff activated the Rapid Acid Deinventory system which safely isolated 339,000 pounds of hydrofluoric acid. However, when the staff attempted to activate fire suppression systems they failed to activate. An operator attempted to start the water pumps manually but deemed it too hot and hazardous to attempt. At 4:15 AM the first explosion occurred, and two more explosions followed at 4:19 and 4:23 AM. Fragments of the refinery systems were launched into the air including a 38,000 pound fragment that flew all the way across the Schuylkill river. Five people were injured and nobody was killed.

The resulting fire took a full 24 hours to put out. The oil refining capacity of the United States dropped by 2% and PES filed for bankruptcy a month later.

Hydrofluoric acid update!

You cannot neutralize hydrofluoric acid with drain cleaner!!! Do not even think of using drain cleaner for anything other than its intended use.

If you find a product in your home containing hydrofluoric acid call your local environmental protection agency. Make it their problem!

The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not. And the child is right.
