OP – Page 19 – PiraticOctopus

This website legitimately makes me concerned about what it’s doing to some of the people who use it. Critical thinking and supporting your views with sound evidence is considered bad, and asking people to do so is incredibly offensive. Providing legitimate evidence still doesn’t matter to these people.

Simply listening to someone else’s views or corrections about something is apparently considered a sin on this site. It’s impossible to change anyone’s minds on anything, or even make them open to why other views exist. Which is unfortunate, because for people who want social change, changing people’s minds is kind of really fricking critical.

Instead, all that’s happening is people on this site are becoming more poisonous, less coherent and logical, and people with negative opinions of some of the most vocal groups are having their opinions reaffirmed by “activists” deluded enough to think they’re making progress.

I hope I have enough rupees

This is out of nowhere but I’m legitimately curious:

How common is Mexican/Tex-Mex food in states (or countries, I guess) other than Texas/the South?

Like, I know Taco Bell is pretty widespread, but I mostly mean non-fast-food restaurants. Because just about everywhere I’ve been in Texas you can find Tex-Mex restaurants all over the place. I’d say we make Tex-Mex of some kind for dinner at least once a week and it’s kind of a go-to for days we don’t have some other meal planned.

Are you more likely to find traditional Mexican food outside of Texas, or are both less common? What other kinds of foods are really common elsewhere?

I haven’t drawn since like August and I want to but at the same time I don’t really want to.

King Boo sounds like a smoker.

I wonder if I caused a noticeable boost in downloads for DesignDoll with that post because it’s still going around and it’s nearing 200,000 notes.

I just spent nearly an hour washing my face and brushing my teeth for bed. Like that’s all I had to do and it still took me that long to get both things done. Who knew there were so many distractions on the bathroom counter!

This is why I can’t save important work for after dinner even if it should be easy. It ain’t gettin’ done.

I’m trying to write an introduction for this paper I’m doing about how well people can interpret dog “body language”.

All I need is an overview of humans and dogs and then to tie that in to their communication.

Except I find the history of dogs and humans particularly fascinating because of how unique their domestication was and how the two species shaped each other through their relationship (I find it so cool that I incorporated a lot of dog-human history into a Mythology paper where I analyzed Cerberus last semester).

I have such a hard time not just rambling or going off onto what should be its own subject when I’m trying to write a paper. And that makes organization a trick too because of how much of what I’m saying ties into other points. Like, the dominance model is really important in regards to how it’s influenced our understanding of dogs in recent history, but that would be a paper on its own with all of the discussion of how wrong it is. Likewise I could write an entire separate paper on how the role of dogs in society has shifted and expanded since early in their domestication and how that also had a big impact on our relationship with them.

TLDR; The relationship between dogs and humans is fascinating and I’m really bad at keeping exciting things brief and organized.

Every time I hear the word “booklet” it makes me think of standardized tests.
