you need fat and carbs to gain weight. carbs is short term energy its like sugar --> carbs --> fat. so if you want weight you need fat + other stuff or else you have no fat to be protected by the carbs

that's just the simplest way to put it. sugar is like what ur cells actually use, carbs get CONVERTED to sugar and fat is LONG TERM storage

she was another trans woman so i felt a lot more confident about like my body in that regard because i knew she wouldnt be weirded out by it but like she was also really stifling and cynical and just made me unhappy all the time and when we broke up she kind of blew up at me and i got scared and i havent talked to her since
i like sad things
bad break ups T_T
i like sad things
i don't get it but i also was never in a relationship. i have ended and blocked a long term friend because he just got to much for me. he's diagnosed BPD (not a stereotype and very honest, hard working and trying his best. very nice person) but after like 12 years he started getting more confident and bitter and i couldn't take it anymore
anon
i might be bpd lol.,..
anon
i definitely wasnt blameless either, for like 2 months until i broke up with her i basicallt just pushed her away and wouldnt tell her what was wrong and gave her no chance to like, fix anything idk
anon
I still feel really bad about it but i was kind of freaked up about how she got when i did break up so i blocked her on everything and now it just like has stayed like that forever
i like sad things
i will say this having been close with someone with bpd even if its weird you should try to explain WHY you do things. I'm the moment u will lose control and say bad things, but it meant a lot to be when my friends would make the effort to explain why that triggered him and apologize but also if u have BPD you will never want to admit you are wrong ever so its hard.
>>114379
anon
she probably deserves a lot more of an explanation and stuff
anon
>>114377
ive been trying to do that more yeah, idk, its pretty rare that i do the whole like. tellint someone theyre horrible thing, im pretty good at keeping that inside
anon
i just think it in my head and get really avoidant and run away
anon
maybe that is worse, i dont know.
i like sad things
idk abusing people is bad. but its a hard burden to shoulder yourself too. i don't want to say you have anything because bpd is a meme online and barely means anything anymore but its normal to be bad at being a good person. it's really hard but i do think explaining your feelings and being open any why you did things is important. sometimes we feel really righteous and cotrect and we are just wrong, or maybe we are right and its not worth destroying a tensioned relationship over it
anon
the only reason i think i have bpd is i do the favorite person thing
anon
but ive been trying to catch myself doing it and preemptively setting boundaries with myself and not getting too attached to them
anon
idk i dont feel righteous very often
anon
i just see people as overly good and then when they break my unrealistic expectations because they are just a person i freak out internally and like cant be around them anymore and i just stop talking to them and give them no reason why and i think it's a really shitty thing to do to someone who just wants a normal friend but i think that's just how i am
>>114387>>114388>>114389

I think the structural changes often dont stick, but every time the peons get some new basic right guaranteed to them it gets a lot harder to take it away in the future once they get used to it

and the new more opressive forms of government that almost always replace the revolutionary governments end up keeping some of those rights around because of the threat of violence if they dont

There is no evidence to suggest that Shel Silverstein was racist. In fact, throughout his career he wrote numerous pieces promoting diversity and acceptance of all races. His works often featured characters from different backgrounds and cultures living together in harmony. Additionally, many people of color have spoken positively about their interactions with Silverstein and how his work has impacted them in a positive way.

#ai was dr seauss racist against white people

There is no evidence to suggest that Dr. Seuss was racist against white people. In fact, many of his books promote themes of equality and acceptance regardless of race or ethnicity. Some critics have pointed out instances of racial stereotypes in his early works, but it is important to consider the historical context in which they were written and recognize that he later evolved and addressed these issues in his later work.

#ai what was dr seus background and ethnicity

Dr. Seuss, also known as Theodor Seuss Geisel, was an American children's author and illustrator. He was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts to German-American parents. His father worked for the family brewery while his mother ran a bakery.

Seuss attended Dartmouth College and later Oxford University before pursuing a career in advertising and eventually becoming a full-time writer and illustrator of children's books.

His ethnic background has been described as primarily German with some English ancestry. However, he often faced discrimination due to his last name which sounded "too Jewish". This experience influenced many of his stories that highlight themes of acceptance and tolerance towards people who are different.

In addition to being an acclaimed author and illustrator, Dr. Seuss was also a political cartoonist during World War II where he used his platform to criticize Hitler and promote patriotism among Americans.

He passed away on September 24, 1991 at the age of 87 in La Jolla, California leaving behind a legacy of beloved characters like The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, and The Grinch.

#ai why did god topple the tower of babble

The story of the Tower of Babel in the Bible is meant to teach a moral lesson about pride and disobedience. According to the biblical account, after the great flood, humanity became increasingly arrogant and decided to build a tower that would reach up to heaven. This act was seen as an attempt to challenge God's authority and power.

In response, God caused confusion among the people by making them speak different languages so they could not communicate with each other effectively. As a result, their project was abandoned, and they were scattered across the earth.

Some interpretations suggest that God toppled the tower because it represented humanity's attempt at self-sufficiency without acknowledging or depending on Him. By creating diversity in language and culture, God reminds us of our need for humility before Him and reliance on His guidance.

Therefore, it can be said that God did not topple the tower out of anger or punishment but as a reminder for humans to remain humble and obedient to His will.

feels like cope up me but yea I have nothing against religious people i just find the whole philosophy and culture it bad. but like i believe strongly in respecting others beliefs really strongly i don't believe in judging people for being religious (i just think religion is wrong and bad)
anon
and i get why christians like the new testament, those who have actually READ IT and follow it, because almost all of the new testament is nice as fuck as is just like "be nice pls :)"
>>114594
anon
Idk i think what really frightens me is old testament christians
>>114598
anon
Because like the jewish scholarship tradition surrounding the torah, like the mishnah or whatever its called, theres actually a ton of uncertainty allowed and like. it's not unheard of to question why god would do cruel things sometimes and to question if those are reallt good examples to follow or like viewing them in the context of "the universe is sometimes cruel and we as humans have to overcome that"

most of it there is some wierd shit in new testament but yes generally it says Christians should be hard core pacifists and charity workers and build multi culti communities for the good of all unfortunately none im of them seem to do that
>>114596

But the old testament christians basically discarded all that certainty and take the raider-cult storm god's lessons uncritically

I dont disagree at all and i think the best religious folks tend to be quietly into their religion and read their holy books very seriously and take them to heart
anon
Because like on the whole most of the stuff said in most religious holy books is generally positive shit. Old testament nonwithstanding, but again, i think the jewish commentary tradition really solves that and views a lot of the problematic stuff more metaphorically

#ai what are common themes in shin megami tensei games regarding human behavior

1. Moral ambiguity: Many Shin Megami Tensei games explore the concept of moral ambiguity, where characters are forced to make tough decisions that may have both positive and negative consequences.

2. Consequences of power: The series often delves into the idea of how humans use and abuse power, and the potential consequences that come with it.

3. Individualism vs collectivism: Some games in the series touch upon themes of individualism versus collectivism, highlighting the tension between personal desires and societal expectations.

4. Desire for control: With many games featuring supernatural forces at play, there is often a theme of characters desiring to gain control over these powers or situations.

5. Corruption: A recurring theme in Shin Megami Tensei is corruption – whether it be political corruption or moral decay – and its impact on individuals and society as a whole.

6. Survival instinct: In post-apocalyptic settings, survival becomes a key theme as characters must navigate dangerous environments while facing limited resources and difficult choices.

7. Exploration of religion: Several titles in the series touch upon religious themes such as faith, belief systems, dogma, and fanaticism through their portrayal of deities from various mythologies.

8. Dualities within humanity: The Persona sub-series often explores dualities within human nature such as good vs evil or light vs darkness through its exploration of Jungian psychology concepts like persona archetypes.

9.Self-discovery/self-acceptance : Throughout various games in the franchise ,characters go through journeys where they discover something about themselves - either coming to terms with who they truly are (Persona 4) or accepting themselves despite their flaws (Shin Megami Tensei IV).

10.Responsibility for one's actions:The actions taken by players throughout different paths/endings showcased across multiple installments reflect responsibility being placed on them which ultimately impacts outcomes leading up to endings.This serves an important reminder that every action has consequences and individuals must be mindful of their choices.

I think its what makes humans strong and evolutionarily dominant and so itll be selected for forever until it wins out

fighting amongst ourselves is just wasted resources

idk theres like 20 million human capacity in bunkers worldwide and 10-100k people living in them at any given moment, we have gone through a bottleneck basicallt exactly that same size at least once before, theres a lot of genetic evidence for it. and itll always be easier to rebuild society the second time

we made mouse lines that can do it
anon
lab mice are like purely inbred we just inbred them so much we actually bread out all the genetic defects that come from inbreeding as weird as that sounds
i like sad things
lol yea that's what i was thinking I'm too lazy to type it you will like naturally select for people who can fuck their cousin and have healthy babies
>>114688
anon
But also like lab mice can NOT survive in the wild and they are generally a ton less healthy and lower lifespan than wild mice
anon
But theyre model organisms who are sacrificed at the end of experiments even if they survive so it doesnt reallt matter their lifespans are artificially really short anyhow
anon
>>114685
it takes a fucking ton of generations and a ton of wild stock to do that tho, i have no idea the specifics but basically the only reason we can do it with mice is because they can breed so fast
anon
Basically every example of human inbreeding with even like as many as 1k individuals results in (relatively) super high mortality rates and often for very grisly reasons
anon
Extremely painful genetic defects :P

i think dr stone is cute but i hate that in just 5000 years all human ruins are gone lol that's so stupid. they should be able to do archeology to get metal like steel and aluminum but that would probably undermine the point of the show which is to run up the tech tree from scratch loop
