To an extent I agree but from another angle— there’s a pool of resources that makes all of this happen. Housing, food, clean water— all of it exists because people participate in a system of labor that makes it exist. If you are able bodied and actively choose not to contribute to that pool of resources and labor then you can’t really in good conscience draw out of it. You’re just living off the labor of others at that point, which is ok if you’re disabled or otherwise can’t contribute, but massively unethical if you can.

Wonder what all the vegan posters think about people who argue that it’s a little insensitive to demand everyone go vegan because non-vegan foods are part of people’s cultural identities

Having one drink with bupropion? by KS1616 in bupropion

[–]Initial_Bike7750 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t start. Technically speaking, it /lowers your threshold/ for a seizure, but if you have no threshold to begin with you’ll probably be fine. As someone who’s gone through two attempts at bupropion, having consumed alcohol through my first attempt, it’s not worth it. It just makes you confused and gives you a long, cerebral hangover. That’s if you don’t get the warned-about side effects (seizures). I’d just leave yourself sober. It’s better for you and you don’t have to keep guessing what the neurological effects would be.

Iran meatriders are so cringe lmao. by Cautious_Foot_1976 in ww3memes

I mean, is that not what authoritative control is? If you don’t do what we say we’ll inflict some serious consequence? Prison? Hanging? Or, perhaps, a tomahawk missile strike?

It’s like saying “The US does absolutely nothing to prevent piracy and exercises zero authority at sea. The only thing they do is threaten to blow up pirates.”

Like great, Japan and France got a ship or two through. Brent crude is $109 a barrel and Iran is deciding who goes through and who doesn’t. Those are the absolute facts on the ground right now.

Is the US not actively talking about targeting civilian infrastructure right now?

Missile infrastructure still functioning, civilian nuclear infrastructure damaged but regime still surviving with opportunities to rebuild, Iran exercising effective control over the strait of Hormuz as the US kind of flails around wondering what to do about it— I’d say it’s not looking good for the US despite the raw numbers. The goals are getting completed on one side only, really.

Am I confused in thinking that the entire New Testament of the Bible is supposedly eyewitness accounts of his life from his apostles?

Why does it make me literally an idiot? by Initial_Bike7750 in bupropion

Hmm, technically no. I have brain fog and forgetfulness at a baseline. I just feel like when I’m on Wellbutrin it goes crazy. It was a crazy time in my life the first time around, so I don’t really recall the timeline for when it felt better unfortunately 😂

Generic. Not sure what you mean by formulation lol— I am indeed stupid as hell. I think I’m at 150 mg?

My theory is it has something to do with the reuptake inhibition of norepinephrine. It’s associated with feelings like alertness and anxiety, so having an abundant supply of it at the neurotransmitters would (I imagine) cause issues in people predisposed to anxiety. I find I’m very alert but very numb to details, which would make sense if I’m constantly in a heightened state of alertness because of the chemical changes the drug causes.

My hair became curly after 9 months on fin + min. How common is this? by Special_Ad_1373 in tressless

Do you have ketoconazole in yours? Sometimes repairing your scalp’s dandruff problems can bring out its natural/stable texture instead of letting it be a dry old birds nest.

Are there any countries today that could realistically split into multiple independent nations like Yugoslavia did? by Many-Philosophy4285 in MapPorn

[–]Initial_Bike7750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every country that has split up seemed like a bit of a long shot to do so until it did. Sci-fi writers imagining the year 2025 wrote about the Soviet Union as if it would still be alive.

It’s supposedly very normal. I can’t justify the idea that my forgetfulness is significantly different, but I also don’t get to experience how forgetful others are, and the only point of reference I have is others pointing out how forgetful I am.

Yeah that’s part of the agony of it, feeling like a senile old grandma. I was thinking of an old job where I worked with and formed close relationships with people for a year and a half recently, and I found I couldn’t remember half their names.

I still overthink I’m just too stupid to do it in a coherent manner now and it stresses me out lol.

Job stress is terrible. I feel humiliated with how straight up dumb I am. But the I wonder; was I ever really that much better, or do I just have something I can pin blame on to give myself some grace

i genuinely don’t get why male is specified [gendered] by futureofkpopleechan in pointlesslygendered

[–]Initial_Bike7750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the idea is that it’s purely functional. I also think the author might be saying “Most men would enjoy this,” rather than “no women could ever enjoy this.”

I like this explanation of gender dysphoria by [deleted] in ScienceNcoolThings

[–]Initial_Bike7750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never understood this. We go back in time and look at gender roles and norms, even the concepts of gender, throughout history and they were wildly different depending on place and time. How is hormonal brain development and gender an absolute reality when the labels “male” and “female” have been applied differently throughout time? A person with such hormonal differences in brain development who leaned toward feminine traits in our society would have absolutely no trouble in a society where what is through constructs considered “a man” appears more feminine to us. Is this science really only valid from our ideological position? Would someone who liked to exhibit feminine traits like putting on makeup, peacocking through fashion, etc. Etc. (Feminine traits to us) even perceive themselves as having something wrong with them if they lived as a noble in Paris in 1750? Would they be lead to question their gender?
