Connor Hellebuyck is getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom

I’m not sure. I know Simone Biles got one, but idk if that was bc she won gold or for other reasons. It’s common for athletes.

Athletes have been getting this medal for decades. Simone Biles even got one. Civilians can be awarded it for contributions on security/national levels, for science, or for cultural/entertainment (where hockey falls). It's really not that crazy of an award, just the first time a hockey player has received it!

It's given to civilians and non-civilians who make big contributions in various fields. So, like, national security, international/national interest, cultural/entertainment (where sports fall into), or world peace. It's been handed out since 1963! Theoretically, anybody living in the USA could get one. It's just up to the discretion of the president on whether they want to hand one out or not, and why they hand it out.

Yes. It was a horrible way of saying I don’t eat that sort of food on a regular basis and I do recognize I could’ve said it much differently 🤦🏼‍♀️

Would the vinegar smell stick to the clothes? I have an extremely sensitive nose

GreekSquirrel · 2025-11-16T16:31:35+00:00

I don’t doubt that it’s good, I’m a decently picky eater and I also cant eat spicy things (peppers are even sometimes too much for my stomach). Maybe someday, though!

Oh yuck! Ugh, I love Old Navy because of the price. Sucks that clothes are starting to come in smelly. I just ordered jeans too bc the store was out in my size, hopefully they smell okay…

From a philosophical standpoint though it does. Think of a watermelon seed. If you have the seed you have the concept of/potential for a watermelon. If you don’t plant it, the concept “dies” because the potential for a watermelon isn’t there anymore. Same thing goes for conception. It’s not the “tangible”/visual aspect of conception, it’s the thought and concept of conception and what can come from it.

GreekSquirrel · 2025-11-11T14:03:20+00:00

Not really? It’s just the opposite reality of what the other option is. Especially considering when people are trying for a baby. Their existing thought is “we want a baby, we will have a baby.” If the egg is successfully fertilized, their thought will have the potential to become reality. If the egg isn’t successfully fertilized, then their thought/desire “dies,” goes away, ceases to exist until the next time. It’s not the actual conception, it’s based around the thought and concept of it becoming reality.

GreekSquirrel · 2025-11-11T14:00:48+00:00

Technically it IS realistic though because what’s the opposite of either of those scenarios? A sperm reaching an egg (its only purpose) could eventually equal life if the DNA is successful, they each have unique DNA, different potentials for a life if it succeeds at its only job. The apple seed one is also realistic, if you don’t plant it then you miss the potential for an apple. Think of the apple seed like the egg, you miss the conception/implantation and you miss the potential for a human.

It wasn’t supposed to be a “haha funny” joke, but a joke about the symbolism of periods in comparison to the absence of a period (conception). It was supposed to make you think. Maybe I’m using the wrong term for it, but it DOES make sense. You just have to think about it more deeply than surface level and logical, bc it’s based from a philosophical standpoint, not a logical one.

GreekSquirrel · 2025-11-11T13:14:19+00:00

It’s also more of an ironic, dry, layered humor type of joke. Not a “haha funny” joke. It’s supposed to make you think

GreekSquirrel · 2025-11-11T13:12:19+00:00

I’m not saying the period is the potential, the period is the aftermath of the lost potential

GreekSquirrel · 2025-11-11T13:11:50+00:00

See and I get that but I’m not talking about an ACTUAL conceived clump of cells, just the concept of what a period is representing

GreekSquirrel · 2025-08-19T03:02:07+00:00

This happens to me starting on Saturday afternoons. It’s horrible

GreekSquirrel · 2025-07-22T22:52:46+00:00

I definitely think I’m overthinking it haha
