It’s fine as long as it doesn’t become a self fulfilling prophecy. If you think an endeavour will fail anyway you won’t try as hard because why bother

It’s probably fake but I wouldn’t be surprised if this has happened multiple times to multiple different people. Cycle of abuse and whatnot

It’s alright but not as good as the comics. I feel like the quirky dialogue doesn’t really have the same impact when it’s happening over 20 minutes vs a short punchy four panel strip

That’s fucking hilarious cause in the Reddit thread for this article the top comment is asking what the big deal is like you are.

I’ve heard of lead being used as sweetener for the Romans but never the Chinese

I’m not worried about Donald trump I’m worried about the next generation of politicians that will follow his blueprints.

Augustus only became emperor after Caesar who only became dictator after Sulla.

Every time the government’s institutions are bent it gets a little easier for the next person

Is jellyfish vegan? (lemmy.world)

They don’t have a brain really and kinda just float there. Do they even feel pain?

When I was in grade 2 I had an old substitute teacher tell us a story about how he trained his willpower by setting an alarm every night at 3 am and when it went off he’d do 10 jumping jacks.

I tried it that night, got out of bed and did 2 jumping jacks before realizing this was the dumbest thing ever. If I had the willpower to get out of bed in the middle of the night to exercise I already had the willpower in the first place.

But weirdly enough ever since that night I’ve been able to get out of bed on the first alarm
