Context matters.
“Men make me uncomfortable.” Could or could not be sexist. It would depend on why one feels uncomfortable and how they act on that feeling.
It’s a very fine line.
Given the additional context provided by OP… yeah she’s definitely ableist.
They wouldn’t even care.
Unless you were also grifting the free week trial thingy and not actually paying the subscription. But usually they’ll only offer that once per email account/credit card.
ETA: they do know, they just don’t care if you do or not. It’s pretty normal to roll between streaming services instead of having dozens at one time.
Short answer? probably not. particularly when considering the second paragraph.
“the force” is not a fundamental force as described in physics. Speaking as a fan of Star Wars, don’t get me wrong, but The Force™ is bullshit handwavium to explain why the BathrobeRaverSquad can do the things they do. you’re not going to find some special force literally or proverbially fictitious that will let someone do the things they do.
If there was, we’d see that in the world today.
All of that said, our understanding of the universe and it’s nature is imperfect. It’s something we improved incrimentally getting better and more accurate models as we progress. it’s certainly possible that there is something new to be found, but it’s highly unlikely.
IIRC, what you’re describing is called Lucid Dreaming. most people who lucid dream are aware, though some can actively control their dreams. The degree of control varies, though.
the idea that cheese affects your dreams is kinda… folklore. Most likely, it’s simply the act of eating right before bed is the problem. (your body doing digestion stuff affects your sleep cycle, making it hard for you to sleep well.)
As far as I know- and I’m far from an expert here- dreams are really just your brain trying to make sense of your brain doing whatever the fuck it is your brain is doing why you sleep. (maybe a de-fragmentation cycle to keep everything nice and functional? bad analogy, probably.)
in any case, your brain is trying to make sense of signals and synapses firing off, in what is basically a random pattern. so it cobbles together a reality as best it can and fit things to that.
Its also trying to maintain a certain amount of continuity with where you are. So, if you’re anxious while you fall a sleep, your brain is going to incorporate that anxiety.
Also, as Bigfish mentioned, the freaky/weird/anxious ones are more likely to wake you up so that you actually remember them.
In any case, I would suggest maybe changing your bedtime routine up and finding something positive/calming to focus on. crotchet works well for me. but it could be just about anything. a feel-good novel, or whatever. (I also suggest turning the screens off.)
might not change that the only things you remember are the unpleasant ones, but it might make them less frequent.
Looking at your posting history, your recent post… probably violates rules 1, 4 and 5: no politics, shitposting is okay as long as it’s not problem, and no trolling.
the answer to your question is that there are differences between opinions that are unpopular and opinions held by assholes. Believing that ice cream sucks is unpopular. Believing that poor people shouldn’t spend money on ice cream is vile. Do you see the difference?
(Just to be clear… ice cream does not suck.)
If the advice is unsolicited, it’s u likely that they advice giver has enough context to actually give good advice.
There’s exceptions there (“hey, you shouldn’t lick electrical outlets”, for example. Or a more experienced person at work suggesting something like “hey, try it this way,”)
Let’s say you like to do dorodamgo- Japanese art/hobby/whatever of making mud into polished balls.
Let’s say you make one ball of good clay… and another out of poop.
They look the same, but one is just clay and the other is utter shit.
Or… Époisses de Bourgogne…
(This is the cheese falsely stated to be banned on French public transit.)
It’s both super stinky and has a… striking… flavor.
Being called out for a hypocrisy is not hate.
You were literally telling me not to tell be how to drive (which, while I came close, I didn’t actually do,) while literally telling me how to drive.
I understand many states have some form of “slower traffic laws”… and explained why that’s not relevant.
There are many reasons why someone needs to be in the left lane- taking a left-exit, or the left hand fork in a split, or, you know, actually passing people themselves…. Or seeing an eratic driver behind them making it dangerous to get over.
I have to assume that CA law also says something about running people off the road because they’re not going fast enough for you. Generally, I assume everywhere does- for obvious reasons.
Even if you’re right, that doesn’t give you them right to drive recklessly and tailgate people. Which brings me back to the original point I was making: the kind of people who are angry at having to slow down… are unlikely to be polite and civil- they’re already demonstrating harassing behaviors.
IIRC, the felony reckless driving was lowered from +30 to +20, during Covid after it became clear how dangerous people were driving. We saw a massive spike in roadway deaths because suddenly people felt like they could do whatever.
Wow.
I don’t care what “the algorithm “ says, and you’re a hypocritical asshole for telling me not to tell others how to drive while telling me how to drive.
Now to be completely clear: I will always drive in a manner I deem to be safe. Not you. Not the asshole tailgating me because he can’t be bothered to to leave 10 minutes earlier.
And I can assure you: driving 50mph in a residential area is not “safe”. And neither is 90 in a 70 during rush hour. These are both staggeringly dangerous and imo, people who do so are on the level of those who drive drunk.
"What lane your in has nothing to do with speed limit… keep right… "
Left lane.
And your advice is actually somewhat incorrect, depending on the context your in. In more rural areas, sure. In more urban areas… there are dozens of reasons why you need to keep left- including taking a left exit.
Or, you know, like how at that speed your usually passing everyone else…
And just for the record, I don’t know where you are, but here… +20 is considered a felony. it’s incredibly stupid to drive that fast on a highway… never mind not on a highway.
people that go +20 and faster? They’re putting everyone’s lives at risk and statistically it’s only a matter of time before they kill someone. Hopefully something happens to teach them why it’s fucking stupid before it goes that far.
What if we instead imagine the truck drivers politely asking you to move over? What if the ability to communicate freely with other drivers made the experience closer to walking in a crowd. I’m imagining something that allows all vehicles within a certain radius to hear one another so you can communicate with courtesy. I think a lot of road rage stems from our frustrations with our inability to communicate (and be held accountable) by the people around us.
Yeah. No. I don’t know where you are, but when someone is angry at the inconvenience of having to slow down to merely reckless speeds… they’re not going to be capable of civil discourse. If they were capable of civility… they wouldn’t have been angry in the first place.
I absolutely would not want an open channel to everyone around me. The potential for abuse is too high.
Imagine the giant trucks road raging because you’re in the left lane and only going +20 the speed limit. Or the old creeps hitting on teenagers.
And then there’s the privacy concerns. In order to connect to your car-specifically- it has to know your car is there. Which means your car is constantly putting out a beacon. This would be similar to how cell phones work - and are now being used by merchants and advertisers like Walmart to track where you go in stores.
And then there’s the security concerns of people pushing malware.
And then there’s the question of distractions from having to respond to people reaching out or shutting them up or whatever.
if this were true then you’d see runners in Olympics and elsewhere not swinging their arms. also a pubmed.
Mom would call it “baby poop” green.
I’d call it pea soup green.
Or puke green.
Depends on what the color was on and howl inoffensive I care to be.
Could also be a (darker) mustard yellow depending on the lighting
