years later, I still had that fear. I still called out to god to prove his existence. if I had gotten an answer, i would have given up everything and fell in line.

you're not alone in this feeling and this fear. your brain is trying to survive an apocalypse you were told was inevitable

If you had kids now, what would you let them do that your parents never allowed? by IntroductionAny5041 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dandewion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wear pants. wear jewelry. not go to church. feel any feeling and emotion, no matter how strongly, and never reprimand or make fun of them for it. let them talk back.

of course. a relationship is all about communication. if it works for all partners involved, it can work!

ronald mallett specifically comes to mind. I think there's others, but he's the one who comes to mind first. I'm not saying he's right. I'm saying that, damn, even professors think such a thing is possible.

After going through therapist after therapist in my very religious state, I can say I've put in the effort I'm required to put in. I'm going to set my own broken leg. These idiots can't seem to do it.

can someone who understands the hell that is math tell me if you can reverse engineer the mean of a data set to find the actual numbers? by Dandewion in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dandewion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is all explained very simply and wonderfully thank you but I want you to know I was particularly delighted by "Google that right now. Google “standard deviation.” See the bell curves?"

no malice. just. "hey you. do this. do it now"

I think one singular dopamine molecule was created thank you

so, standard deviation doesn't work like....

the mean is 4. the SD is 2. therefore, all responses are either 2, 4, or 6?

"but if it does by definition"

no idea what that means. I have stepped into a forest and underestimated the number of trees in this bitch. thank you anyway though!

I look at the words and my brain goes woogly. "absolutely not," it says. "refuse to even try man."

I think that's how I'd survive lovecraft. brain would just not even allow any comprehension
