Apathy Tree

Aww I’m super glad to hear it improved your day, and you’ll be able to find it again in the future!

I get the same reaction to it, I think it’s the use of flat melancholic notes scattered throughout, such as in the refrain “I’d like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly”. For me anyway. I love that sort of upbeat but sorrowful sort of thing. It gives me intense frisson (aka aesthetic shiver, aka that chill down your spine when something hits just right).

The sound of silence covered by Pentatonix also gives me mad frisson every time I hear it. And for the same reason I think.

Someone just jelly of my amazing taste in nearly-20-year-old music, probably 😊

Pretty sure that line is a reference to this. One of my fave songs :)

Owl City - Fireflies

Unlike in real life, this bee is going home to accolades.

Oh idk about that… parents are willing to pay an awful lot in treatment in hopes of keeping their kid alive…

I think they need both, short and long term profits, you know?

There are two types of people who survive decently in the military. Those who can find every loophole and can maliciously comply, and those who allow themselves to be completely broken and reshaped into perfect compliance by the system.

Many people believe the second group is more common, but it’s really not, since those people tend to be in lower ranking positions. Bullet catchers and the like.

They gave all they had. And then some, Jesus.

Most animals have better births than humans but I, a human woman, would not want to be a kiwi bird (avian variety, IDK what words mean over there).

Depends on the class.

I had a statistics course that allowed us one single sided page, but as long as your printer could handle infinitely small print, she didn’t care if you had magnification. You could hypothetically have keychain bible print for your entire book as a cheat sheet, it just wouldn’t help you in the allotted time.

My cheat sheet for R was nothing but codes because I’m not a coder at all (R and basic Linux are my entire coding experience, and it was fucking miserable) and that helped if I remembered to label the fucking codes. And LOL nope.

But I cheated in other classes by doing such nonsense as writing vocab on my shoes… in college language courses, which I paid for myself… so dumb and counter productive.

I was never smart enough to cheat in regular school… I just brute forced the work… ironyyyyyyyyy

Just curious, have you watched the show with the same name as your account?

I guess it’s for kids to help them deal with trauma. I downloaded it due to super high ratings, but I haven’t watched it yet (and might not; I don’t have or want kids, but I like having good stuff for friends with them)

I had my uterus inflated with saline for an ultrasound screening before an ablation. It wasn’t a lot of liquid, but it was an absolute screaming amount of pain, and they said it wouldn’t hurt… I knew it would because I’ve had several iud insertions but they refused when I requested something, anything at all, for the pain…

I feel like if it was easy for him to get rid of the existing ones, he probably would…

Tho he got his kids vaxed and refused to answer if he’d do it again so there’s some chance he’s just being a disingenuous prick and fucking over millions for personal gain… wouldn’t put that past a single “conservative”

(Wild how in the wider world conservation means protecting things that exist, while American conservatism actively seeks to destroy everything that has existed for decades… wild…)
