One thing I urge adults to unlearn is the stigma surrounding forgetfulness.

Perfect memory retention is rare. A faulty memory can be the result a host of mental illnesses, from ADHD to PTSD. It’s not a sign that someone wasn’t listening. I have a friend that has a four year gap in her memory due to trauma. I have another with poor short term memory retention because that’s one of their autism symptoms.

Your brain can also trick you into misremembering things. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve remembered putting my keys somewhere and unearthed them in a completely different place. I have to remind myself what my birth date is because I said it wrong once and now the wrong date is in my memory forever. I have to come up with mnemonics for birthdays, anniversaries, and events because my brain doesn’t do numbers for some reason.

I see people bicker about forgetting a person’s favorite food or what their mothers favorite color. I think it’s important to forgive people who forget easily.

God could you imagine how mad geologists must have been to slowly watch the “hey all the continents kinda fit like puzzle pieces :)” guy get proven right

It was a woman that did it!

Description:

Why are all the good people staying out of Hawai‘i?

  1. The US Navy has contaminated water with cancer-causing jet fuel and covered it up just as schools and farmers raise concern.
  2. Food and water are expensive because tourists overrun grocery stores — with some areas now having to ration and tourists getting priority.
  3. The cost of living sky-rockets. Airbnb kills good hotel jobs and moves money offshore, and homelessness rises with over 50% being Native Hawai‘ians.
  4. Social media of tourists harassing endangered animals, destroying reefs and cultural sites, and treating locals rudely are increasing anti-tourist sentiment.
  5. Suffering under contamination, colonization, capitalism, and ongoing pandemics, revolutionary groups grow as Hawai‘ians beg tourists to pause visits.
  6. Hawai‘i is a soverign kingdom occupied by the US and colonized after rich businessmen overthrew the Queen by threatening to murder her people. The people are tired of being exploited and gaslit.

cryptotheism:

The ultracatholics on this website aren’t actually trying to “debate” you. They think they are trying to save you.

What is actually happening, is they’re saying inflammatory things that get strong negative reactions from readers. People yell at them in response. This generates a feeling of being attacked, so they can continue to see themselves as an underdog.

This entire dynamic can be shortcutted by simply blocking them and moving on with your life.

this is fantastic to me because it’s EU canon that ballistic weapons like these are a bitch to handle with a lightsaber, because if you try to block them like blaster bolts the metal slugs just melt and keep on coming

like probably you could stop them with the Force if you’d drilled that reflex but you won’t have, you’ve drilled blocking

so this would actually be a potentially workable, if unorthodox, option for a jedi up against a sith lord who had them spiritually outgunned
