Learning how the brain works really made me into a firm atheist.
So much of consciousness is tied to how our brain work and injuries to it can cause massive cognitive/learning/motor problems; even changes in temperament/mood.
It severely weaken the evidence for the soul/afterlife to me.
Not saying the cannot exist but there is a lot of evidence against them.
If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.
Oh hey! Haven’t seen this in forever! Didn’t reblog it when it came across me before, not gonna skip it this time, I need some good vibes.
I know it would kill the whimsy a bit, but it would be interesting to see period dramas frame their heroines marrying for love less as "I think of marriage as a love match in a modern romance way" and more as "since I'm allowed choice, I want to ensure this man will actually respect me as a person for my whole life. I'm entering a contract where he has alarming control of my life, and I want to make sure it's not terrible, even when neither of us is young and hot anymore."
It's not said explicitly in so many words, but this is what Jane Austen was trying to say 250 yeas ago. "Make sure your husband has a good moral education and basic decency before you marry him."
Yup. In a world where you legally can’t get a job without being irrevocably cut off from every relationship you’ve ever known (and the jobs all SUCK to boot), there is no happy ever after without a well-padded purse. True love’s kisses won’t feed you.
Austen’s stories had two intentions: 1. To teach young ladies that no man who truly loves you would ask you to starve for him. 2. To point out to everyone else how awful systems that create situations where people must choose between being fed and being loved are.
That isn’t to say that folks didn’t hope for a life partner they’d love (Who wouldn’t want that?), but it could never be the singular or primary focus. A lady or gentleman determined to marry for love at all costs in a period piece is as anachronistic as a can of Spam.
It’s important to note that every single Austen novel includes at least one marriage made for the wrong reasons to underline just how important it is for the heroine to choose someone who will respect and take care of her.

You Can Get A Gonorrhea Infection In Your Throat
gay guy i knew also thought you didnt need protection for oral. got mad at me when i explained.
PROTECTION FOR ORAL??? GUYS PLEAS EDUCATE ME WDYMMMM
exactly what it sounds like: putting a barrier between the mouth and the the genitals/anus to prevent the transmission of fluids :)
this may be true but that doesn't change the fact that most people won't use protection for oral. ghonorrea or chlamydia of the throat aren't scary, just take antibiotics for it
I'm entirely aware that most people don't use barrier protection for oral sex (I don't!) and that most (emphasis on most) STIs are easily treated with antibiotics. that doesn't mean I feel great about people genuinely having no idea that there's any risk at all in unprotected oral sex. there's a big difference between making an informed decision while aware of all risks and making a decision without knowing all of the potential outcomes, and everyone deserves to have access to that information. no one is going to get antibiotics for gonorrhea in their throat if they don't even know it's possible to get gonorrhea there.
I have a bisexual guppy and its funny as hell to watch because it seems like he’s only bi out of desperation. Like all of the female guppies are unimpressed by him, and dont accept his mating displays, and every time he fails, he goes over to a SPECIFIC male guppy (the prettiest male guppy in the tank) like PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE and that male guppy always lets him????
i would read that fanfic ngl
About my fish??
HELP?????
YEAH THIS IS SCIENTIFICALLY RECORDED

its crazy how much work you have to do to tell men that talking about your own exes or asking about someone else's exes is probably not the move for the first date. like you tell them not to do this and they'll literally push back against you. the desperation to shoot one's self in the foot is absolutely beyond me
