Bees choose to live in the box where they know damn well that a large fraction of the honey will periodically be removed, instead of simply leaving that place like they are perfectly able to do, because the human box comes with an invulnerable titan to guard them against all threats. The bees consider the payment offered to this colossal mercenary to be a pretty good deal.
secret lore 👀? what if the reason why air nomads distance themselves from the rest of the world is because they don’t want to be tempted back into that cycle of violence
ya when i first saw someone mention the implication that he took all the air in the room, killing all the firebenders AND himself, i had to lay down for awhile
This is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences.
My policy for the past couple of years is to go into the Doctor and state my symptoms. Then tell the Doctor. “STOP” “I want your diagnosis and treatnment options for someone weighing 135 pounds.” When they try to argue and immediately START with weight, I firmly reiterate they are to diagnose me as if I were 135 pounds. Eventually most grudgingly will think about it and answer me. I’ll allow them then to “triumphantly” go on to dismiss their previous diagnosis and pin everything on my weight.
Then I point out I have been the same weight for 15 years and these symptoms are sudden and new. My weight is no factor in that. Give me the tests and treatment you first mentioned.
This is how they discovered a large fibroid that needed to be removed. From stories I’ve heard from others, if I hadn’t approached it this way it might have taken me years of pain and discomfort before they might have finally discovered the fibroid and treated it.
Just remember;
DEMAND A DIAGNOSIS FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS FOR A PERFECT BMI FOR YOUR HEIGHT FIRST!!!
I love how for most of The Boiling Rock Part 1 Zuko’s just going around like ‘you know who’s great? Uncle. I miss him a lot. He’s my favorite person and I will fight you for him” completely unprompted
Things just happen in Russia in a unique way that I’m not sure can ever be explained. Like how a fucking meteor landed in the middle of the Russian wilderness and resulted in the equivalent of a nuclear bomb going off but no one really even noticed.
russia requiring drivers to have dashcams for insurance purposes is literally the best law ever enacted bc we get to see shit like this
pres. trump sent federal troops into portland to squash the protests and they shot someone in the head with an impact round last night and shattered his skull. his blood is still on the sidewalk outside the federal courthouse. they are not like local cops and they are NOT fucking around. they carry ARs with live ammo and they are merciless. i am very sincerely scared that federal forces are going to instigate a kent state type situation by killing protesters as an example sometime between now & november and i am very scared it’s going to be here
sorry for the long post—i am not sure how much national coverage this is getting and i really want people to know what’s going on here. they are behaving like an occupying army & treating citizens like enemy combatants
An Actual Real Person my Dad knew. Pretty sure he worked as a bush guide. When someone asked the time he’d pull off his hat - some kind of broad brim - and use to take a few measurements of the sun’s position relative to the horizon. Then he’d declare the time.
He was accurate to the minute.
Fvvdvddsfdssdhnvfh you get back here and say this to the rest of the crew
that is exactly my point of view. if all people were given universal basic income, we could have tens of thousands of boring, tedious, dangerous, and long term harmful jobs done by robots, while humans are free to explore their passions without fear of poverty and homelessness.
in a good society, automation means a boom in the arts. language, painting, music, dance, writing, philosophy, architecture, etc. these are the sectors that advance tremendously during periods of human health and flourishing
Back in the 1960s, we were told that automation and rising productivity would mean shorter work weeks with higher pay. Instead we have multibillionaires, growing poverty, and crumbling infrastructure. The money is all there, it’s just being hoarded.
Pick pretty flowers when you see them, and take them home with you. Put them in your journal, or in a little cup of water at your bedside.
Smile at strangers.
Sing when you have music inside of you, hum as you walk from room to room.
When someone is cruel to you, feel sad for them, instead of angry for yourself. Know that you did not deserve it, and cannot condone it, but have empathy for the suffering they must be experiencing to treat you this way.
Record your thoughts, lines, and poetry in a small pocketbook.
Send little positive wishes out into the universe for everyone you meet.
Experience life like a small child - the natural world is baffling and fantastical and beautiful, so stop every now and then to really look around you.
Be nice to every animal. Even bugs!
Use irritable/anxious days to sit back and reflect on why you’re feeling that way. Be present with yourself, non-judgmental of your own feelings, and use this heightened self-awareness to try and be even nicer to those around you than you would be on a good day.
Sit outside at night, or by your bedroom window, and take some time to look at the stars. Maybe sing them a song, or tell them about your day.
Approach the world with love and empathy, and the world will send it back.
