I've started directly questioning the intelligence of people who can't understand how ocean and air currents work to stabilize polar vortices and disruption of those currents causes disruption of super cold air.

And I have started getting a bit condescending while saying this as if any third grader should understand it so a fully grown adult not understanding it clearly shows some sort of mental deficiency that didn't get caught earlier in life.

It probably means I'm a bad person but I feel a little satisfaction at their increased anger over just refuting with facts. Because you're explaining in what sounds like it should be simple ways why they are dumb and the usually slightly narcissistic minds I deal with like this simply cannot handle that.

My mother in law's rebuttal, after a few days and in text form, was "I DO KNOW all about the science I just don't believe it's happening"

And at that point, she has admitted she no longer believes reality.

You can say "I don't believe it's raining" all you want, but that water hitting your face won't be any less wet.

You heard it here folks, you shouldn't question something unless you are directly affected by it.

I would like that, the structure would not.

For now all I have is a dragon tree that needs extra attention I need advice on, and an aloe plant.

The first time I played that I was at the tail end of a marathon session from hyperfixating on the game.

I quit playing for a week because the cutscenes.

And of course beat it first try with no warm up when I came back...

Saturday was really warm here, like "t-shirt and jeans weather" warm.

I was in the middle of walking between buildings when the clouds broke.

I immediately turned toward the sun and for one, shining moment, I channeled the spirit of Solaire of Astoria. For a brief moment, I was so grossly incandescent.

I decided "fuck this I'm going home and practicing archery." so I stood out in the sun for an hour and a half until the sun dipped below the trees.

I really need to get one of those full spectrum light panels that helps with seasonal affective disorder, or like a vitamin d lamp or something. It doesn't help that my current residence has no windows, so all light is artificial and to get any sun I have to actually go outside.

You take that back, I protect my marines while playing!

You know.... As much as possible while charging headfirst into the most powerful empire the galaxy has seen in 100,000 years hell bent on destroying humanity and all we represent...

Ah yes, that pursuit and sharing of knowledge known as "paying a shitload of money for the privilege of making a company that ultimately provides nothing of value some extra cash"

I didn't know ml is cool with ultracapitalism as long as it's under the veneer of knawlege.

Extra cost? UNACCEPTABLEREEEEEEEEE!

I mean, good. As it should be, but like.... Money is where they draw the line.

His entire style was just to cover up the fact that he couldn't draw cats... Amazing and 100% completely not made up fact.

Almost entirely fiction, a couple dozen a year. I'm currently rereading a book series with around 20 books, I think.

Not considering audio books in the statistic is a little weird and comes off as attempted gatekeeping... If someone has taken the time to consume book media, it shouldn't matter if it was listened to or not. My wife is dyslexic and listenes to quite a few audio books a year, but can only finish a couple print books.
