Getting high reveals how arbitrary the connection is between how you feel and how well things are going.
  • I mean, people definitely have bad trips too, sometimes connected to the current situation and sometimes not. And even on MDMA, you can get scared and freaked out if the situation turns bad. I wouldn’t say it’s a disconnect between how you feel and how it’s going, more that perceptions can be distorted and make you over or under respond to information/stimuli 🤔

  • Honestly, fuck the diamond industry
  • Holy shit I need blacklight jewelry! I got lab alexandrite and lab moissanite for my wedding ring, but I didn’t know I could get SCIENCE gems! And I do a ton of confocal microscopy where we use dichroic for splitting the wavelengths! Thank you for this link, I’m def buying all my jewelry from here from now on!

  • Would this work or just make people upset?
  • Yes, I am you! You are us! Maybe we can be each others future selves and remind us when the Near Future is Right Now so we don’t forget things 😺💡😎

    It’s late here and I got the midnight zoomies 😆

  • Would this work or just make people upset?
  • Omg you’ve described my brain to a T! 😆

    The future is always some nebulous thing where some stuff is going to happen, but it’s not Right Now. Who knows when those future things will jump out of Future Land and become Right Now? Like, I literally got a C in pre calculus even though I Aced every exam, because I forgot to do my homework. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Thankfully smartphones with calendars and alarms now exist!

    But navigation? I can find my way back to a place I visited just once. I never get lost, so at least I have that superpower 😅 🗺️

  • I’ll fight anyone who shits on Gen Z
  • I grew up poor (rural Arizona, living in a trailer we couldn’t afford to heat in the winter, mom worked at Walmart, dad was a mechanic, just to paint a picture of what I mean). Both my parents are more progressive, we moved from the Bay Area of California when I was ten because we couldn’t afford it and also so they could get away from their druggie friends circle. Thankfully I liked science and had people who encouraged me, and I now have a PhD in molecular biology and my partner does computer programming and makes a lot.

    But before I decided on science, my progressive parents + being poor + Intro Philosophy + Against Me anarcho-syndicalist punk rock made me want to major in some combo of history, economics, and political science so I could change/overthrow the system from within. I still have the anarchy tattoos behind my ears, though! But I think Scandinavian style Democratic socialism is better suited to modern technological society.

    And now I’m in academia, most people here grew up middle class or upper middle class, and the entitlement is mind boggling sometimes. I’m learning more and more how to blend in with them, my partner is upper middle class academic family. But sometimes I still feel like some of them can tell I’m a dirty poor.

    It just pisses me off so much that there’s soooo much wealth in the world and it’s all locked up by rich people. I read somewhere that a study by the Swiss bank found that if all the wealth in the world was evenly divided amongst every men women and child, each person would get like $30,000. That would be amazing! No more world poverty! A living wage would be a great start.

    Anywho, it’s late, I’m tired and rambling. TLDR: eat the rich.

  • South Jersey pickup artist and ‘relationship strategist’ gets four years in Capitol riot case
  • Am woman, can confirm that I want a non-asshole, genuine, caring dude. I’m lucky I found one. Funny/sad how these incels don’t just ask WOMEN what we want (like we don’t know?), they ask other men. These incels need to lurk in women’s online spaces for a few months, it’s free and more representative of women than the bs from spewing from these pickup fartists

  • how is Lemmy going for you?
  • I also feel like Lemmy is less toxic and therefore more enjoyable. On Reddit I would never browse the default front page or r/all because it’s a cesspool, but I can browse All on Lemmy and it’s quite enjoyable. That’s actually how I found this thread 🙂

    Tarantula (Acanthoscurria geniculata) embryo showing expression of genes that pattern the legs and body wall. Right side has curved abdomen, 4 walking legs, and 1 pedipalp (head accidentally removed). Left side has curved abdomen and 1 walking leg (the rest accidentally removed).

    The pink/white stripes are where the gene "odd-skipped" is expressed, which marks where the leg joints will form.

    Trying to upload cool confocal microscopy image, but I keep getting an error message

    Error message is SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'R', "Request er"... is not valid JSON

    Are image uploads not allowed here? Only URLs? Thanks! Hoping this community grows and flourishes! :)
