well now you’re just doing it on purpose

i’ll tell you what man i’ll do all that and your dad’s as well if you stop formatting your mundane opinions as headers to try and get people to notice you

using header markdown to make your text enormous is far more obnoxious than saying like

first you see anthropomorphic cartoon animals and find them appealing, then the internet shits in your brain and makes you want to fuck them. after that you start pretending to be one. if somebody intervenes at this point or your remaining sense of shame kicks in you may be able to recover, otherwise your condition will deteriorate until you are found dead under a bodily fluid sodden pile of threadbare animal toys with holes cut in the crotches

If I have to ask, it’s lame

i don’t understand jokes and that’s your fault

when you hunt cookie monsters you should use every part

yes that’s his main problem. his blazer has two buttons and he’s done them both up

times like this i can hardly blame the simulation theorists, if this was a novel you’d throw it at the cat

shit gimmick, ydi

The chart in the image was reproduced by the Washington Post from a 2009 study by I C McManus

The Post article makes a similar claim to the one in the screenshot

McManus theorizes that the late-Victorian dive in left-handedness reflects stigma against southpaws

https://archive.ph/y543P

But he actually said this is unlikely

One possibility, extensively discussed in the handedness literature, is that left-handers die earlier […] An alternative explanation of the lower rate of left-handedness suggests that the elderly are more likely, because of social pressure, either to have been forced to shift from writing with the left hand to writing with the right hand, or they prefer to call themselves right-handed, because of a taboo against left-handedness. Both this and the differential mortality explanation become unlikely when one looks at the entire Gilbert and Wysocki database […] The best account of the Gilbert and Wysocki data is that it directly reflects the actual rate of left-handedness in the population

I know nationalising water right now would cost hundreds of billions

a hundred billion or so is the government’s own line. other more believable opinions suggest this is bollocks

content

it’s a tangent i don’t fancy going on but this everything-is-content must-consume-content view of things is not very healthy imo

Might not be too unusual if it included replies/comments but this is just top level posts

YDI. avg 25 posts a day just on this account is spambot behaviour. how are you called sunshine when you never see any

what is the opposite of nominative determinism

A purply pinky pallette is often used for cosmic horror. I don’t know if this is because of magenta ‘not existing’ or if it’s just a coincidence but it’s a good choice anyway

This is a good take although I still prefer the sinister ending of the film over the redemptive one in the book. Later editions include a foreword by Burgess lamenting the omission of the 21st chapter in part because he wrote three acts of seven chapters for the symmetry of it and the symbolism of 21 being the age of majority
