I feel like I can't get out of the former category. But idk if it's really a bad thing; freeing, when I realized I was only really watching movies to feel like I was part of culture, abd I could just, not.

I feel like I ate way more food as a teen than I do now.

School, extracurriculars, growing, and faster metabolism will do that.

Two and a half bottles of wine per person in and of itself is a lot. Not unreasonable, for professional alcoholics, but the cider, punch, whiskey, and beer on top of that sounds absurd to me.

Maybe they're small bottles, or weren't all finished though

Nah, not true.

Sure, nicotine is only part of cigarette smoke, and likely not the most dangerous. But nicotine raises blood pressure, and slows wound healing. Former can cause heart attacks, or any of the other health problems high blood pressure causes, while latter can lead to infections or neuropathy (generally, not causing them, but worsening them, if you have diabetes or the like).

This is because nicotine a vasoconstrictor. It causes your blood vessels to contract. This can actually be a good thing in some circumstances: if your lost a lot of blood, or have dangerously low blood pressure for some reason. But with the prevalence of high blood pressure in the population, its definitely more dangerous than anything else for the average person.

Also, the ablism in reducing schizophrenia to 'person yell at object' is very gross

Is that still carving? Looked like pressed leather, or whatever the word for the process is

It's not praise to say it's successful.

More than that, it's sorta funny that this is the movie chuds are mad about, when Nolans movies are just classic blockbuster stuff. It's not woke in any meaningful way, it's not high art or anything. It's just what Nolan always makes.

I don't really mind it. But I do agree that it just... Doesn't feel necessary. Mina the Hollower was another game I overall liked, where the soul dropping mechanic was just, superfluous

Doctor Loops is the worst instance of the first one in my mind. Just endless 'haha tits and thighs and cock haha'.

I think looking at the wider world is always going to be bleak. If you look, you can always find humans being terrible, killing, lying, cheating, polluting.

But the opposite is true too. Everywhere, people are fighting for justice, for love and peace. Working to provide for their families, to survive and help others. Harder to find such stories online, as misery and anger goes viral much harder than heroism.

You can't control others. Only ever your own actions. It's hard, to find a purpose for yourself. Survival always comes first, and while online veganism stresses purity, I think the 'as far as is practicalable' line in the 'definition' is important. You can only ever do your best, and you can only do your best while you live.

I'm not sure exactly your own outlook, on veganism, what your core drive is. But no one can live an absolutely harm-free life. It's noble and right, to do what you can to lower that. But when speaking to what drives you, you should focus more on what you can create. Those people you have connections with in your life. Meeting and connecting with more people. I think a lot of the poison in the world, magnified by social media, can be lessened by talking with people face-to-face, finding common ground.

Huh, that's crazy. Wonder what ths regionality of those different names are. I'm in Appalachia, and I never hear thimbleberry used around here. But as you say, berry naming is pretty calvinball

You sure that's a thimbleberry? Those are usually red and wider. Looks like black raspberries to me.
