Toxicity is healthy when youre 18 and hate life but girl at some point you have to love something
We’re all struggling lets get some waffles or something
I finally feel that enough time has passed that i can reveal that this is was about my ex roommate of three years. we are still good friends. So no, this isn’t a grand statement about life.
And we didn’t go out for waffles because the waffle place was expensive.
In case you’re wondering she’s 21 now and still bitter. Go get waffles girls. Just go outside your home/work/school and do anything that looks even remotely fun. don’t get like her. Join a board game discord if you have to, just fucking socialise. I know it’s hard, i was isolated too for all my teens. But oh my god.
Look final addition but here’s the thing.

this video is genuinely incredible - the framing, the sunset, the single street light, the sound of traffic and cicadas in the background, the video of the sign capture imperfectly by (presumably) a phone camera. it’s a work of art and a perfect encapsulation of 21st century america

Doing the nyt games on the app was like a daily ritual for me and then they updated the app to where my busted ancient phone’s ios is too out of date to run it so I have to play it on desktop. My streaks and stats used to have inordinate meaning to me emotionally and it only took a few days of that inconvenience to just stop caring at all lmao ???

ive always rly liked the idea of a member of a group of adventurers having what everyone assumes is very well trained hawk and then at the end of their journey its casually revealed that thats actually just his buddy whos a shapeshifter and just rly likes being a hawk
the guy also like thinks everyone knows bc he never tries to hide the fact that the hawk is a person but everyone assumes hes always just joking. like the others being like "damn its crazy how he knows exactly what you want him to do its like he knows english or something." and the guy is just like "well yeah thats his first language so ofc he's fluent??" and they all go "haha good one" and move on, leaving him confused
they just think hes a quirky guy that really loves his pet and says things like "the 9 of us" even tho there are clearly only 8 people! he just cares about the bird so much he counts it as a group member haha !

my sister called today to wish me a happy 6 year sober anniversary & i know that she meant being off heroin specifically but i was actively making a martini in the middle of it so all i could say was "about that,"
i wasn't looking for pats on the back but ty, i'm happy i could live to see a bunch of nice people visit my blog & like my posts
it's so weird that she was even keeping track. this would have been another day otherwise but now it's earth-went-around-the-sun-six-times-since-you-last-stuck-a-needle-in-your-arm-day

One of the team behind the letter was blunt. “The brain microplastic paper is a joke,” said Dr Dušan Materić, at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Germany. “Fat is known to make false-positives for polyethylene. The brain has [approximately] 60% fat.” Materić and his colleagues suggested rising obesity levels could be an alternative explanation for the trend reported in the study. Materić said: “That paper is really bad, and it is very explainable why it is wrong.” He thinks there are serious doubts over “more than half of the very high impact papers” reporting microplastics in biological tissue.
But the brain study is far from alone in having been challenged. One, which reported that patients with MNPs detected in carotid artery plaques had a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes than patients with no MNPs detected, was subsequently criticised for not testing blank samples taken in the operating room. Blank samples are a way of measuring how much background contamination may be present. Another study reported MNPs in human testes, “highlighting the pervasive presence of microplastics in the male reproductive system”. But other scientists took a different view: “It is our opinion that the analytical approach used is not robust enough to support these claims.”
Further challenged studies include two reporting plastic particles in blood – in both cases the researchers contested the criticisms – and another on their detection in arteries. A study claiming to have detected 10,000 nanoplastic particles per litre of bottled water was called “fundamentally unreliable” by critics, a charge disputed by the scientists. The doubts amount to a “bombshell”, according to Roger Kuhlman, a chemist formerly at the Dow Chemical Company. “This is really forcing us to re-evaluate everything we think we know about microplastics in the body. Which, it turns out, is really not very much. Many researchers are making extraordinary claims, but not providing even ordinary evidence.” While analytical chemistry has long-established guidelines on how to accurately analyse samples, these do not yet exist specifically for MNPs, said Dr Frederic Béen, at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam: “But we still see quite a lot of papers where very standard good laboratory practices that should be followed have not necessarily been followed.”
A key way of measuring the mass of MNPs in a sample is, perhaps counterintuitively, vaporising it, then capturing the fumes. But this method, dubbed Py-GC-MS, has come under particular criticism. “[It] is not currently a suitable technique for identifying polyethylene or PVC due to persistent interferences,” concluded a January 2025 study led by Dr Cassandra Rauert, an environmental chemist at the University of Queensland in Australia. “I do think it is a problem in the entire field,” Rauert told the Guardian. “I think a lot of the concentrations [of MNPs] that are being reported are completely unrealistic.” “This isn’t a dig at [other scientists],” she added. “They use these techniques because we haven’t got anything better available to us. But a lot of studies that we’ve seen coming out use the technique without really fully understanding the data that it’s giving you.” She said the failure to employ normal quality control checks was “a bit crazy”. Py-GC-MS begins by pyrolysing the sample – heating it until it vaporises. The fumes are then passed through the tubes of a gas chromatograph, which separates smaller molecules from large ones. Last, a mass spectrometer uses the weights of different molecules to identify them. The problem is that some small molecules in the fumes derived from polyethylene and PVC can also be produced from fats in human tissue. Human samples are “digested” with chemicals to remove tissue before analysis, but if some remains the result can be false positives for MNPs. Rauert’s paper lists 18 studies that did not include consideration of the risk of such false positives. Rauert also argues that studies reporting high levels of MNPs in organs are simply hard to believe: “I have not seen evidence that particles between 3 and 30 micrometres can cross into the blood stream,” she said. “From what we know about actual exposure in our everyday lives, it is not biologically plausible that that mass of plastic would actually end up in these organs.” “It’s really the nano-size plastic particles that can cross biological barriers and that we are expecting inside humans,” she said. “But the current instruments we have cannot detect nano-size particles.”
Whoopsie it was all bad science rushed out the door.

To me, there are several different species of car/truck guy.
Materialistic truck/car guy who has a $50k+ new vehicle he does not need for work, he can barely afford and he purchased as a status symbol and expects everyone to be soooo impressed by his smalldickmobile? Sucks. Horrible guy. Makes it his entire identity. Financially irresponsible, usually an asshole driver and parker because nothing matters but his vehicle, usually extremely vapid and unpleasant.
Shitbox car/truck guy who really loves his 15+ year old piece of shit vehicle and is keeping it on the road through thoughts and prayers and is attempting to soup up his 2002 Chevy? Down to earth, resilient, usually capable of helping you with your car problems because he has had every car problem imaginable, humble, often much more interesting than materialism car guy.
It’s the same for vintage vehicles too, the guy who bought a fully restored muscle car just to show it off sucks ass but the guy who has spent 5 years slowly rebuilding a ‘68 Chevrolet Chevelle he found rusted out on Facebook marketplace is a car guy I can respect.

Massive L to our ancestors for not domesticating the Bear for the ultimate friend
i sympathize with the post on the one hand but also ‘man we shoulda domesticated bears’ has the same energy as a divorced dad being like ‘i should have married that girl from high school’ when the girl in question was never ever interested and also turned out to be a lesbian frontwoman for an obscure but respected ska revival band
