No, no; haven’t you heard? if we don’t read the Bible^™^, there’s nothing to stop us from killing and raping everyone we meet. ^/s^

Do you honestly think modern superpowers are not “conquering empires?” If so, I worry what you think about “Jesus’ principals [sic].”

I only got to play at my friend’s house, and I think I got stuck on Minos (or whatever the Greek island was) and couldn’t get past it before they bought a new computer

It had metal skate wheels on it. My uncle said they used to make something like that in the 40’s by nailing a skate onto a board, though it sounded more like a scooter since they usually added a handle to the front.
As seen in the documentary Back to the Future

Afaik, they’re still around, but inflation and popularity has caused the prices to increase a fair bit.

“Backpacking” can also mean couch surfing and staying in hostels or on park benches. In the early 2000’s, it was a really popular way to travel across Europe (at least among rich white college kids)

I wouldn’t have characterized The Princess and the Frog that way. In that movie, the protagonists learn to be happy despite being frogs, not because they are frogs. Being frogs throws them together and forces them to get to know one another, but their happy ending comes once they become human again (and the point of the movie is about working tirelessly to achieve their dreams, not removing themselves from society)

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

That’s all well and good, but are you really suggesting that trans people who are fearing for their lives should stay put to help the electoral college issues four years from now?
- Comment on Feral Science 1 month ago:
I do live the feeling of disorientation I got from the first book. The whole thing felt like I was in a fever dream and I was never sure if I was losing my mind or it was the book.
Of course a big chunk of that could be the sleep deprivation that came with having 2 kids under two at the same time as reading the book.
- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 1 month ago:
We got in on early 2016 and the price of real estate increased by 20% while we were in escrow.
Our house has more than doubled in price since then but if we had fallen out of escrow, we would not have been able to buy anything anywhere near our jobs/preferred city (and my partner and I have a combined income north of 150k/year).
Shit is crazy these days
- Comment on Max Planck 1 month ago:
That’s because you’re thinking of it like a distance, but matter at that scale actually behaves more like a standing wave that only has discrete solutions.
Or at least that’s how I think about electrons and Schrodinger’s equation. I dunno, I only teach about stuff that’s as small as an electron, but it’s a useful tool for thinking about quantum numbers, so I assume it applies to smaller matter, too.
- Comment on Stress 1 month ago:
I don’t know that you’re wrong, because those MD/PhD programs are exceptionally demanding (but are a good way to avoid med school debt for some). It’s more that even for pure MD’s, research is a very, very different career path than practicing physician. I think researchers still have to go through residency, but after that they’re mostly designing and arranging clinical trials, writing grants, interacting with related university departments, etc.
So, you know, research stuff rather than patient stuff.
- Comment on Stress 1 month ago:
There are medical researchers that have MD’s, but they are not practicing physicians (usually). There are MD/PhD programs that are aimed toward medical research fields (usually with the PhD being in biology or chemistry as you mentioned), and lots of biological and biomedical engineers working on certain medical fields as well (especially using stem cells and other chemical cues to regrow tissues). So yeah, biology- and physiology-adjacent sciences are where most of the actual advances are happening.
Actually practicing medicine is basically like being a mechanic that specializes in keeping one particularly poorly designed piece of equipment running.

I’m aware of and support her current work and I agree that she’s much smarter than her public persona would lead people to believe. However, she still comes from a place of unbelievable privilege and telling people to “stop being desperate” is incredibly tone deaf, IMO.
Two things can be true at the same time.
- Comment on Stress 1 month ago:
“Stop Being Desperate” has a real “Let them eat cake” feel, especially coming from her.
- Comment on Stress 1 month ago:
As someone who teaches chemistry to premeds, this is not surprising at all. To make a swing generalization, premeds, med students, and the MDs they become are done if the most entitled, condescending, and obvious people I’ve ever met.
There are exceptions of course, but in general, I can’t stand most premeds or how our culture puts MDs on a pedestal.

Believe me, I’m all for using religious imagery when it’s appropriate for getting the point across. However, the whole point of OP’s statement is lost if it’s not made clear that religion itself is the primary source of this evil. Otherwise, “It’s always the Devil who tries to convince everyone that he speaks for God,” could just as easily mean “my god is right and yours is the devil.”
- Comment on hard to argue with 1 month ago:
Fair point, but using ambiguous religious language to convey the dangers of religion seems a bit open to misinterpretation, imo.
- Comment on hard to argue with 1 month ago:
I’d remove the religious implications and say “it’s always those who are most convinced they have a monopoly on Truth who are most dehumanizing to the out-group”

Appropriate.

Windhand was my gateway into this whole world, and I couldn’t agree more. The first time I heard their stuff, it just blew my mind in a way I hadn’t experienced in probably a decade.
I came into metal from metalcore, and there’s no faster way to get yourself banned from the metal subs than posting metalcore, so I feel you in the gatekeeping, too. The doom scene really does pull from all sides of influences and tends to be pretty accepting of a ton of fringe bands and sounds so you get people that are excited to talk about music instead of just shitting on other people’s taste. So you get “doom wop,” stoner rock, doom ‘n’ roll, fairy doom, witch metal, caveman battle doom, and so on.
Have fun exploring it all! There’s a ton of good shit out there, and for my money, to this day, nothing hits like that first time hearing “Forest Clouds”

Not really all that related, but if you like Panopticon by Isis, you might also appreciate the best Appalachian atmospheric black metal I’ve ever heard, Kentucky by Panopticon.

Happy to get you excited with some new music! I’ve listened to heavy music for decades but it had definitely gotten a little stale for me. It was only in the last 2 years that I discovered stoner/doom as a sub-genre, so I’m not all that far ahead of you. Some really great stuff that is frankly just as heavy but much catchier than most other metal subgenres. I mean, I love me some black/death metal, but I’m just not really getting obsessed with bands/albums/songs the same way as I can with this slow riff worship you see in stoner/doom.
