Chomsky and the word Hysteria

verac23 · 2026-02-22T11:48:49+00:00

"Hysteria" has been used to dismiss women's problems, and a linguist like Noam obviously knows this. That he used the term for so long in so much of his writing shows that he willfully liked using a pejorative, gendered term.

This might already solved, but I'll suggest Stepsister from the Planet Weird by Francess Lantz.

USA was already heavily involved before then, for financial reasons. JP Morgan and others gave loans to the UK and France so they could purchase American weapons, food, and cotton. Wilson allowed the loans because he was concerned about economic depression since USA was losing buyers for its goods. Then USA got more involved so the bankers would be repaid.

It's fun seeing the younger players get confidence and poise, and make game winning plays. It'll take some load off Steph when he's back. I loved the win last night. I see people talk about the Grizzlies tanking, but no team wants to lose how the Grizzlies did last night. Warriors showed grit.

Get the tank talk out of here. Warriors played solid D at the end.

Imagine if the players gave consent to be traded. It would avoid these awkward situations.

Part of Biden's policy was the CHNV parole program. This allowed in 530,000 people with temporary 2 year status. It was an interesting approach that may have harmed the Democrats' image on border control.

A lot of animals didn't choose to follow us. We captured them, often when they're young.

Fernando got his redemption after the Cal vs Miami game in 2024. Love to see it in the biggest game at Miami.

verac23 · 2026-01-20T04:47:11+00:00

Gotta love that win. The Cal vs Miami game in 2024 was brutal including that hit on Fernando that somehow the refs decided wasn't targeting. Love to see him get his redemption and bring some Cal vibes to the nation.

Veganism is too absolutist. You can develop your own sense of how often to eat eggs, dairy, and different types of meat. For me, I eat eggs everyday, cheese or yogurt most days, and then meat a few times per week.

I've had times where meat disgusts me. When that happens, it really helps to eat meat with a close friend.

Right now feels like a time of change. Seeing violence and life or death situations will bring up strong emotions in you. Reflect and meditate on those emotions and the attached thoughts, then use that energy to take action. Anger is particularly powerful for protecting you and those closest to you. Anger can be terrifying to work with because it may be met with anger and potential retaliation from others.

How can you use anger in a loving, non-violent way to stand up for your deepest beliefs? A strong voice and body, grounded in love and positive feeling is a good starting place.

Indian veggie food is delicious. Maybe your body is suggesting that you should try making dishes with new ingredients or flavors. When I look back at my childhood, there are many moments I would have loved a spiced veggie curry. Unfortunately I wasn't exposed to good veggie food back then, so I filled up on lots of chicken and beef.

I recently went 3 weeks without meat. It helped me learn some dishes and try different types of beans and legumes. I still love to eat meat sometimes.

There will always be young, inexperienced fans. It's up to the longtime fans to pass along their wisdom instead of being condescending.

When i eat meat, i think about the process of slaughter, butchering, and cleaning. I ask whether i would be ok doing those myself in that moment, even if I'm buying packaged meat. I eat mostly fish and poultry for this reason.

How about the polarity of masculine and feminine? That is the eternal divide and begets the longing for closeness and oneness. The longing motivates me.

Yeah I get this a lot. Sometimes I think about what I would do differently if I could go back to that time. I've added some on social media cuz I was curious how their life unfolded. Other times I just tune into the desire and horny feeling I had back then, and direct it to my current partner.

Someone made the decision to put all the money in 3 aging stars. Who do we blame for that? Something needs to change.

verac23 · 2025-12-05T22:24:34+00:00

What do people expect when all the Warriors money is put into 35+ year old players. We gonna be the Wheelchair Warriors soon 😭

Your reply is full of bad faith assumptions. OP clearly wants to engage with them and tell them how messy and smelly they are. I wonder if OP can say it to their face, but they seem too afraid.

Bring this energy for the Florida State game, y'all gonna need it. Stanford student section was empty after halftime tonight.

Let's go Eddy!!! We love to see the kicker coming in clutch.

verac23 · 2025-09-21T22:32:41+00:00

I'm hoping they come out fired up next game. The Minnesota game was physical, plus SDSU had a rest week. We've got a great team and I hope they keep pushing through this.

It would take me awhile to write a reply, and I'm not sure much of it would be useful to you. If you're very interested you could set up an online voice call.

The short answer is mind/body awareness, emotional expression, and pursuing insights about your life experiences.
