  The person you think you loved doesn’t even exist anymore and it is highly likely they never did.

  I’m sure there’s something to be said about inoculating water with known not bad microbes over boiling and then possibly reintroducing disease causing microbes

  No, the other person said cost is not the highest on the list.

  You’re the one crusading for it to be “not a reason”.

  Twitter post by user @BravoCoolee “Twitter the only place where well-articulated sentences still get misinterpreted. You can say “I like pancakes” and somebody will say “So you hate waffles?” No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.”

  What about using heat from geothermal vents?

  Babe you forgot about gerunds?

  Old spice has given me chemical burns so YMMV

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted to add that I’ve been everywhere in laptop operating systems. The computer that I used before the first macbook was running Mint. I use a Windows laptop for work. I’ve had 2 or 3 major problems with my macs. I’ve have 3 major problems with my windows machine so far this year (and a dozen other smaller issues).

  I’m a nearly everything apple user. It started with a macbook air that I was gifted. It was an incredibly stable laptop that basically just always worked. I had no troubles doing things like finding the printers in my department or the library (something which was stupid frustrating with my prior laptop). I had that laptop without any other apple products for 7-8 years.

  The iPhone started my move into everything else. I used to have a fit bit but when the battery died, I got the apple watch because it was so much easier to connect/keep connected. I got airpods for the same reason.

  I want stuff that works the way I expect it to work and works all the time. Everything I’ve had is very stable.

  Many get paid much more than faculty.

  Universities are "adjunctifying many positions and adjunct professors are not paid well. Some faculty are homeless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I constantly see testostorone being put into evreything from pills to candy bars but its illegal for trans men to get it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I don’t know where you are or what your healthcare system is like, but I suspect it’s somewhere with a public system. Do you think it’s good for your system to treat depression and suicidal ideation/attempts? Because transition is the best prevention of suicide attempts for people who are transgender. Full stop. If there was any treatment that came close to the improvement for depressed cis people, it would be considered a god damn miracle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How plausible is a medical tricorder?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly the way they used it, I always thought the tricorder was just the reading part of other diagnostic implements. Kind of an all in one CGM, implanted pacemaker, etc.

  Historical image of a dog on a table and Pavlov surrounded by several people. Impact font text reads “I bet Pavlov loves that we think of dogs whenever we hear his name”
