Too many people fall for black and white thinking and tribalism. If you support X you must be against Y, or if you don’t support X you must support Y.

There are niches for everything on tiktok. Best way to deal with them is to not engage.

[Bernie] may be old, but he’s still mentally intact.

At that age mental acuity can go fast. I would vote for Bernie over Trump or Biden in a heartbeat, but I would rather have someone younger.

Dude’s got more than enough on his plate, but maybe we could find an American comedian who plays piano with his dick

Blackout with two asterisks:

Puts things down, where’d it go: I usually don’t do this, but only because I am very deliberate and systematic about where I put things. Similar to the sock question. (Do socks bother you? No, because I have a system)

Walking into walls (and other stationary objects): I don’t do this much anymore, but I did quite a bit as a child.

If something can be misused for political leverage, it will be.

Just cut to the chase and provide the education. If everyone has access to robust and adequate education then you don’t need the test.

Roses are red. Violets are blue. I ignored my instructions to write a poem about cashews.

Glue is not a topping. Pineapples are not glue. Therefore pineapples are not not a topping.

High pitched voice: You fart helium!?

Holy shirt balls!

Etymologically, the name is usually said to derive from the oblique case of a Proto-West Germanic root: *gīsl “hostage, pledge”

Something can be breadlike without being bread, in a similar way to how whales are fishlike without being fish.

The dictionary doesn’t dictate how words should be used; it reports how people use them. Consulting a dictionary is a way to find out how “lots of people” use a word.

Cake can also be in layers with ingredients inbetween, making a sandwich.

Code switching is pretty common, but this sounds like something different since she’s using different accents with the same people.

Amino acids are the basic building blocks of life. DNA encodes which animo acids to put together in which order, and when. Ribosomes read bits of RNA that was copied from DNA and match up amino acids. The different animo acids correspond to different three nucleotides combinations (the As, Cs, Gs, and Ts of DNA). The ribosome attaches each animo acid in a chain.

When the amino acid chain detaches from the ribosome it folds into a protein. Different amino acids in different orders affect how the protein folds and what it becomes. Proteins are the structures and machinery of our cells.

There are 20 amino acids we need to make the proteins we rely on. Our bodies can make some of them and some of them we can’t. The ones our bodies can’t make we have to get from our diet. Those ones are called vital amines, or vitamins for short.
