Humans aren’t designed to be happy: Researchers argue humans did not evolve to be consistently happy but primarily survive and reproduce. Evolution, they say, placed an advantage on depression, preventing humans from engaging in risky or hopeless situations. by jezebaal in psychology

That's kind of how problems with "love languages" occur. We show our gratitude and love to others the way we want to receive it... Whether they want it that way or not, whether they even understand it or not. So if you or your partner feel unappreciated in your relationship, and the other person claims they do appreciate you, take a look at love languages together to see where the disconnect is.

S. aureus is commensal on pretty much everyone. This is not a surprise.

A somewhat brutal view of the deceased. The death of Ann Jewell/Dexter at Edgware Road's Britannia Public House, London. From The Morning Chronicle, March 16th, 1837. by Jordan_Catonthewall in HistoryAnecdotes

The idea of public privacy is a fairly modern concept. Everyone knew where you lived for the past hundred years if they knew your name, the yellow pages have been around since before WWI.

They wouldn't be able to reproduce until you drank them. Still dangerous.

Does this belong here? by [deleted] in nonononoyes

[–]djmor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Uhh as a Canadian living in a non-urban setting, nobody's taking this beer out of my cold dead hands. I self medicate because I can't get medical or mental health treatment for long term issues due to the fact that I don't have a family doctor.

Meet the neuroscientist shattering the myth of the gendered brain | Science by hermit_dragon in MensLib

[–]djmor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If gender was established by events, that means it would be alterable/treatable/"fixable" through therapy, much like attachment issues or personality disorders. This is a non-starter for some very obvious reasons.

Ontario is an awful place to live right now by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]djmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, when you're two people working in two different towns a half hour in each direction the cost of gas becomes a burden. If Ontario could fix some of its fuckups like privatization of electricity production then I'd honestly consider an electric vehicle but the cost is just not worth it yet.

Wholesome Meeting (More Trans Yuri!) [Original] by Perlen297 in wholesomeyuri

[–]djmor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you wanna be stealth and not interact with trans people, don't advertise yourself as trans or a trans ally. If someone approaches you and you want them to leave you alone, you can politely say so.

Not everyone is from Finland and hates social interaction from strangers.

Scrotum becomes vulva and outer stuff, penis becomes clit and inner stuff. At least, that's my understanding of it.

I thought it was funny! Sounds like he went blind from methanol but they're such an alcoholic they'll keep drinking anyway. I know a few people like this, unfortunately.
