You can vaccinate the bitten human right away without any test, which is how it’s really done. Waiting for test results is not a good idea. If the vaccine didn’t work (it does work if administered in time), then there would be no help for the person. Testing is unnecessary.

Have you ever been in an outdoors movie theatre without a car? It’s different and great, because you’re truly outside. Also the dimensions are like in normal theatres.

I think there’s some kind of general fascination with rich people ingrained naturally in the human mind. It’s not just in comics. It’s present in many fairy tales, mythology, religious books…

Iagree it can help the rich to get away with things. But I also think it’s not fair to blame authors for using good old archetypes, while I also support kindhearted critique of those archetypes - it’s important to understand their role in social context and to make authors aware of the downsides.

I think that’s why op’s asking in the first place, right?

If you were republican and asked whether the democrats are as enthusiastic this time as the last time, it would be a perfectly legitimate question. The fact is, people tend to shade themselves from the online madness (good for them), but then they can’t be sure whether the madness continues with full force or not.

Asking about it seems logical. But neither you nor I are able to answer.

I haven’t seen Prometheus - the reviews talking about stupid characters were too much for me. Are you saying the characters are not really stupid, just have way too much enthusiasm for their scientific field to care for their safety?

In that case I may give it a try.

There are also cheap specialized squishy water bottles with little shower-like hooked ending that can be used as a bidet if you don’t want to bother with insalling a real one.

This is my ABBA rule.

I think that would be great - if people were incapable of lying. As it is, the candidate with the most people-pleasing program (true or not) would win and you wouldn’t be able to check their past activities to see whether they’re trustworthy at all.

I think the ability to react to what life brings in a healthy way can be really great for you. I don’t think it’s bullshit.

But too often I hear this from people who are just trying to wave off the struggle of others. I know people who are scared to engage empathy when it comes to a person with serious bad luck. Perhaps they would be too devastated or it would remind them that they too could get unlucky one day.

So they blame the victim and say it’s in the victim’s head, the victim should try harder. And it makes them feel safe, because they, of course, have the right attitude. This way they also get rid of the feeling they should help the victim.

Those people make bullshit of this otherwise good advice.

Yeah, I’ve never heard a Holocaust survivor say that and I’ve heard quite a few testimonies.

First time I saw the Jurassic park I thought no way would intelligent people just run around a huge and therefore dangerous Brachiosaurus or jump out of the car and run right to the ill Triceratops. That would be Darwin’s award kind of madness.

Then I studied biology, got to know some zoologists and paleontologists, and yeah, this is exactly what would happen.

He’s probably into it. It wouldn’t be the same if they were conscious. And maybe he thought the fact they agreed to come over made it less probable he’d ever get sentensed.

I was once taught a technique for another problem I had. It worked well for me and could be applicable, so I’ll share:

I was told to imagine a large heavy box that can be locked. It’s helpful to imagine it in detail and make it your own. When a situation comes that would make me have the problem - in your case, something happens that makes you feel like oversharing - put it in the box and lock it.

It’s there in the box and you don’t have to deal with it right now, it’s going to wait for when you have time to deal with it in a healthy way.

Now the important part: find a time in the day when you feel comfortable, just a few peaceful minutes for yourself that you can have regularly every day. Make a coffee, sit down - anything that makes you feel alright.

Every day, in the designated you-time, open the box and take a look inside. Go back to what you’ve locked in there and evaluate. Now you have time to deal with it. Is it something that needs solving? Is it something that makes you feel certain way? Is it as big of a deal as it was when you locked it in?

Now you have time to really deal with the thing that made you upset. You will be better equipped to deal with it in the designated time when you feel alright and can focus on it. Often (though not always) you’ll find the thing shrank or disappeared completely during it’s stay in the box.

How about shutting your mouth and consuming what we show you. No one’s asking if you’ve seen it already. Watch the ads!

And let’s make the video be an ad too, why waste time.

If the goal is human survival, then I don’t see it as selfish. In that case, the whole species is being selfish, but the individual is altruistic. Altruism does exist - evolution works on many levels, which makes many things possible. The Selfish Gene is a pretty good book that is still interesting even after all the decades, but sciece goes on and we now know much more.

We are all aware. The terminology used for the two different drivers is the problem. You don’t call a woman a female, that’s insulting. He had no problem to call a guy a guy, no “male” or such. It makes him sound like a misogynistic asshole.

Either way, she’s not impressed. Looks like she has just seen the result.

People learn all the time. The fact that you are already familiar with something doesn’t mean everyone is. Please don’t be unkind.

I just realised Dr. could work as a shortened version of Drag, so you could think of your future title as “Drag Firstname Lastname”.
