Thats my exact comment from when I saw things on reddit a while back 😅 I also thought it looked exactly like a plunger

Its worth knowing that lamps are bad for moths, they think nighttime light sources are the moon which they use for navigation, and so they get confused and lost
If you wanna help moths, combatting light pollution so they can enjoy the moon is the best thing we can do for them :)
- Comment on @iLLSam is immediately my new favorite comic artist 1 week ago:
For me, it’s just that something about the delivery and setup feel like they communicate I’m about to experience a very different kind of joke, and so the non-sequitur “I’m piss” catches me completely off guard in a way that makes me cackle
I think humor that depends on seting up and then subverting expectations with something dumb or nonsensical is often very hit or miss. But that sense of humor is increasingly popular, especially among gen z

I’m not sure which instances might need it most, but the idea is mostly that you donate to the one that hosts your account, that way you’re offsetting the operating costs they pay to host your posts, uploaded images, comments, etc.

I appreciate you mentioning Brightside, I’m not awake during the day due to a sleep disorder so access to therapy is really hard for me, but I absolutely do not wanna use better help
I should go look into them

I’d assume a lot of people just don’t participate as much as they used to, even if they still use Reddit, and other people probably just gave it up or use other traditional social media instead 🤷♂️

So is it slightly less holy, or slightly less water?
- Comment on First Words 2 weeks ago:
The opposite, they filter blue wavelengths, (and some green), preventing light exposure from telling my brain it’s time to be awake :)
I have delayed sleep phase disorder, which makes sleep happen much later for me than is typical, so things that can make it easier to fall asleep a bit sooner can be helpful
If you’re interested in the science, about 2 hours before we’d naturally feel drowsy and wanna go to sleep the body hits what’s called your DLMO, or ‘dim light melatonin onset’, which is the point in your circadian rhythm when your alertness starts to drop off for the day as your body starts to secrete melatonin that accumulates in your system until you feel sleepy. But as the name suggests, this only happens when that biological process isn’t delayed by light exposure, and it’s most sensitive to blue wavelengths (technically it’s a bell-curve sort of distribution where the green side of blue is most activating, and it’s less activating the more you stray to either side of that wavelength). If I understand correctly light exposure similarly triggers your body to pull melatonin out of your system, essentially waking you up if you just got up for the day, or are feeling sleepy at bedtime.
Light intensity also matters, which these glasses do less to help with, but they really cut down on the wavelengths that are most disruptive to feeling sleepy. Because my sleep is SO late, the easiest way for me to vote is to go right before my bedtime when the sun is up, which can be hugely destabilizing to my already pretty crap sleep schedule 😅
So the glasses here made it slightly easier to go home from voting and being out in the sunlight, and try to start winding down for sleep I’m hoping to also get some of those silly looking fitover sunglasses to help minimize light intensity, and then I’ll have the option to take them off when I go inside running daylight errands before sleep, as that’s when I have access to places during open hours

I voted early a few days ago! Image
Forgive my sleep deprived face and weird-ass glasses, I’m not normally awake during the day and the glasses help with my sleep disorder 😅
If you see this feel free to post your voting pictures or “I voted” stickers, seeing them makes me happy!

Yep, I thinj he was like their creative director or something for a time and stopped making the true facts videos, and then left and started making them again :)

Honest question, is his record on palestine mixed? He’s made a lot of pro palestine comments but if there’s nuance to whether he’s supported them, or where he’s drawn the line I’d be interested to know about it

For the sake of being clear, Bernie has criticized Israel very explicitly and has condemned their violence more than the vast majority of US politicians, please don’t just take what that random guy said at face value.
Its entirely possible Bernie has a mixed record on Palestine or isn’t a perfect representative (I’d need to go look at primary sources and ideally voting records), but the person who left that comment is likely just expressing their anger at feeling like there’s not more they can do to help, knowing that lives are being lost
Hopelessness that turns into bitterness is understandable in the current global political landscape but isn’t a good source of credible information

It kinda feels like you’re advocating the viewpoint that anything less than total revolution is useless. While I understand feeling like the system is working as intended, I don’t think that means we can’t improve things short of overthrowing the government and enforcing a more just society through violence. And I think that the argument that short of a complete rewrite there’s nothing we can do really just makes people feel more defeated and apathetic. If you wanna win the war, morale is kinda important.
I find it very easy to let perfect be the enemy of good, and I think that policy change that moves the country in the right direction, like putting more power (proportionally) in the hands of the American public is a good thing worth fighting for, regardless of whether you’d like a future that’s further from our current reality.
(Also, your comment comes across as pretty angry and that’s perfectly understandable given the state of the world, but please know I’m not disagreeing with you trying to start an argument or flame war about whose political opinion is correct, I don’t really think that’s productive and don’t really want to be the target of someone’s anger)

If you’re not already familiar with how the Citizens United decision works, it’s worth learning about!
This 4 and a half minute long video “So You Want to Bribe a Politician” is a fantastic and accessible explainer :)
