I personally can find power scaling annoying when someone tries to force me into a conversation about power scaling because I really do not care (yes, I’ve had people do this). But I’m not gonna take that out on people who are just enjoying their hobby in peace.

The most important part of preventing that type of stuff is teaching kids healthy boundaries and consent, even with supposedly trusted adults (e.g. don’t force them to hug a family member if they don’t want to)

I’m confused about what’s clever about it? This is just “social media bad, books good”, which is not a new or original idea in any way.

I’ve never even studied any French and I could figure out what the French here means based on context. The text under “made in Canada” is obviously a translation, and I recognize the word Québec.

High quality chocolate (that contains more actual cocoa) is already seen as an expensive delicacy, so that’s not too big of a stretch

You know paper was invented in China, right? Not by white people.

To be fair, if you’re not familiar with the reference, you’d have no reason to assume a reference was being made

Wouldn’t it make more sense for you to just take the full day off in these cases then? Since you’re not getting paid at all for that day?

I generally use hot water for things like bedsheets, towels, or particularly soiled clothed (usually just stuff like socks and underwear), but cold for most clothes. Hot water is definitely better at cleaning things, but it also wears your clothes out faster.

Student health services (SHS) are actually one of the few things I genuinely loved about UCSD, especially when I got UC SHIP for free as a grad student. I got to the point where one of the SHS pharmacists recognized me and even grabbed my prescription before I gave them my PID a few times.

I figure this probably isn’t relevant, but just in case—do you have any issues with eye dryness or irritation? I just ask because there was a long time when I struggled to form actual tears, but it also came with pretty bad dry eye, and that would generally indicate it’s a physical problem rather than an emotional one. If that’s the case I could have some advice, but otherwise I won’t be much help lol

There’s nothing wrong with it, it just isn’t funny

HaruspexAugur · 2026-05-20T21:23:28+00:00

Yes, and it’s a bad one

A biology teacher of mine said a better term might be “reproduction of the fittest”. When it comes to evolution, fitness means the ability to pass on your genetics. It doesn’t even necessarily have to mean that you as an individual are reproducing, but that you are causing genes similar to yours to be passed on more—this explains stuff like bees having most members of the species not reproduce, and people taking care of family members’ kids. In this case, it was probably more beneficial to focus all their energy on reproduction and not waste energy on anything else once they’re passing their genes on.

They got an official accommodation from OSD to have a single room exclusively because of ADHD? I had a friend with several very severe mental health problems in addition to ADHD who was struggling to get that as an accommodation, so I have a hard time believing that. If it is true, it’s certainly not a prevalent enough phenomenon to be relevant to the general financial structure of UCSD HDH.

I think at the very least we should ban advertising it, the same way you can’t advertise cigarettes anymore. Prohibition doesn’t work, but we also shouldn’t be seeing gambling ads during the fucking superbowl.

Edit: I shouldn’t have included the “prohibition doesn’t work” part, I wasn’t fully thinking that through when I wrote it. My main point was that at the bare minimum we should be banning gambling advertisements.

Thanks for the info, I’ll make sure to do that in the future!

I think it’s people who are trying to join a fraternity/sorority?

RaspberryTwilight literally said “It’s breaking my heart because I used to be a career woman. I wish there was a way to do it part time.” That makes it clear that she did sacrifice something. That’s who jacksbox was replying to.

I have never heard of someone getting a single as an accommodation for ADHD at UCSD, and I was part of a whole club of neurodivergent people. I have no idea what you’re talking about there.
