Treat people as human beings and respect their boundaries, take care of your health and appearance, then suddenly you'll be drowning in pussy (or dick or both or neither whatever your preference)

There has only been one alcoholic drink that I've enjoyed and it was because it tasted more like juice than alcohol. Also I was 17 at the time (accompanied by trusted adults) so that might've influenced it.

I get why people drink, and it's not like I'll care about any random person downing drinks left and right. What makes me mad is the overly-romanticized way it's depicted in media 99% of the time, and how normalized it is.

To each their own, but fuck any depiction in media that romanticizes them.

I understand why people do it (logically). But altering what I hear, see, taste, etc. is something that doesn't call to me at all, so I don't understand why people want to do it.

I guess it's more of a "I can't relate"?

Alcohol. Or drugs for that matter. But alcohol is the one that actually pisses me off when depicted in media. It's always some character downing a glass of something and then having this super happy face and enjoying themselves. Like, fuck off? Anyone I know who drinks doesn't even enjoy the flavor of it, and it being romanticized into this fancy, social drink is genuinely infuriating.

As for drugs, I just don't understand the reason why someone would want to alter their mental capabilities.

I guess this counts as ranting from my behalf.

So what? What will revealing all of this do to those involved? Will the American public do anything about it?

I'm fucking tired of reading about how shitty people are shitty and continue getting away with it while the public does absolute jack shit

Bipolar II here (yeah turns out Bipolar was so good they made a second one)

Personally it doesn't sound like they went fully manic (else you or them would've been in greater danger), but instead it sounds like a mood swing. When unmedicated, it is too easy for the smallest of emotion to trigger a meltdown. A slightly irritating thing means uncontrollable anger, a slightly sad or pitiful thing means uncontrollable depression (emotion) and crying, etc.

I've had days where I feel completely hopeless and filled with despair, crying and giving up on life, only to realize I've forgotten to take my pills in a couple of days, and be so much better to the point that it feels like it was another person expressing that desperation a couple of hours later. It's honestly very interesting (if you set aside the worrying aspects) to see how a brain can change so abruptly

Except I am not, they has been used singularly for centuries now.

Let me put it in a way that will make sense for you. Singular "they" is, more often than not, used when people do not know the gender or amount of a group. Whenever you speak of a corporation or company, it is extremely common to use "they" instead of "it". E.g. "they are the ones in charge of making that decision". In the example, you are speaking of a company or similar group, a singular entity by itself. However, since the speaker does not know who or how many people make this decision, the speaker uses a singular "they".

This is but one example of how they has been used as a singular pronoun for ages, but let us digress a little bit. Why the fuck is the royal "we" allowed, but not the singular "they"? They both follow the same structure but inverse of each other, where the royal we is a way to say "I'm speaking of myself as a part of a bigger entity/community". You can make an argument that both of these carry plural connotations, but my point is that grammar rules and language as a whole is way more nuanced than black or white.

So, please, save your spit and time with a counter argument that only pushes forward discriminating thinking and stop being a pussy about language change.

Btw, I'm not a native English speaker, which goes to show that I was actively taught about singular they, instead of picking it up intuitively like most native speakers do.

Edit PS: don't even think of using my non-nativeness as a point against me, I know for a fact I have better grammar and care more about orthography than the average native speaker.

"Ah yes, let us disregard basic grammar rules in order to make a stupid argument to 'prove' my point, that's clearly what'll convince people that my way is the right one"

That's odd, I remember reading about the feature that makes it so zombies naturally fill in empty cells from other cells, but maybe I misunderstood?

I do agree that the random spawning zombies can be dumb if you're coming back to your completely secure and isolated base only to find zombies inside

[–] Leonixster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Could you not adjust the settings so zombies see/hear you very easily and from far away, as well as making hordes a bigger amount for the feeling of being hunted by a pack? I haven't played the recent unstable versions so idk if they added other things that zombies can do to find you, like smell or whatnot

 

My earliest clear memory is that of my 4th birthday, from the moment I woke up to a couple of hours later. I remember my mom telling me to get dressed up so we can go to the daycare and after to school, which I started to do and then thought "what's school? what's daycare?" (these I asked) "why are you my mom?" (this one I didn't for some reason). After being fully dressed, we got into the car and drove to the daycare, I was guided to a room that's next to the kitchen and told to wait. A couple of minutes later, I notice a light coming from the hallway connecting to the kitchen ("what's that? why is it coming closer?"), then the nanny, her husband and my mom come out with a cake. I then immediately asked why there was a cake, I was told it's my birthday, and then I asked what's a birthday.

So yeah I think kids ask a lot of questions the moment or around when they start to be self-aware.
