And clearly based on the intense response you win the controversial statement award

Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, and yet we all pronounce it “lay-Zer” not “lay-Ser”

polyamory is an alternative to monogamy, so if you think a community about monogamous relationships should be NSFW then I guess, but I think that might be a stretch.

I was thinking the same thing lol.

Pair it with sci-hub so you can actually read the whole articles and not just abstracts.

ooh I AM in the market. Ty!

I’m pretty sure there’s still relationship drama in polyamorous relationships.

Good bot.

Finally, something at my level.

I’ve only known the hike “as many different trails as possible” method but am intrigued by the “make one trail your own” method.

I like to imagine you huddled over an ice field, stirring water in a pot until it turns to the perfect slushy consistency for your fresh homemade ice.

Wait I thought google solved protein folding.

I never see this mentioned but Darknet Diaries is actually a really informative and entertaining podcast about hacking, the dark web, physical penetration testing (gone wrong), nation-state cyber attacks.

Ironic that a podcast covering cults has its own cult following. /s Their cult episodes are my absolute favorite.

Opening arguments is also a good legal/political podcast for fans of 5-4

For times when you want to do nothing but watch youtube, learn to knit or crochet so you can feel a little better about doing something.

Outdoor gardening is surprisingly easy to get into and it is super cool to see how big plants can get with a little water and care. Also it’s like a pet in that it helps you get out on the bad days since they need tending.

You also went to college presumably during COVID. So I’m sure that didn’t help.

It is difficult to detect and can cause debilitating chronic issues. Why on earth would you not support preventing this disease?

When people talk about “doing your own research,” I think they underestimate how difficult and slow actual research is. For physical and biological sciences it also requires heavy investment in equipment, but you can save money by sharing resources and collaborating with others doing similar research. For social/politics/history/economic research, I would imagine you need access to primary sources, maybe some modeling software, and years of learning to understand the context of anything you’re researching. I think people who say “do your own research” don’t understand the significance of understanding context, which leads to some…interesting ideas.
