Oxytocin is a big one, but I’m struggling to remember the others. I remember that one cuz of a psych class where the professor brought it up as an event that mothers would associate as having some of the highest levels of it. Its considered the bonding hormone, so makes sense we’d bond with our babies so drastically to keep us motivated to care for them after they ripped our lower body apart lol

Perhaps a duck wearing cat ears

I think thats somewhat demonstrated, but its possible the power corrupts and brings those traits out, too

Carrying a coconut?

I think that just takes a lot of skill to enunciate and hold pitch. It took me a while to hear past the “noise” when I was first introduced to heavier metal and acquire the ear for it. Theres definitely vocalists that don’t do it well, but like architects’ latest song “blackhole” has incredible range and is catchy as fuuuck

This. Is. Democracy. Manifest!

Y’all’re embracing pure beauty

Theoretically, one could be speaking in Italy, but that’s only if Italy exists

… I’ll see myself out

I met my last long term partner on a dating app, but these days it’s not a route I’d want to take. I met someone on discord more recently in a really wonderful community that allowed me to get to know him and make other friends with none of the same pressure

Have you tried using your toes?

Depends on whom you’re asking, but lots of christians consider it a sin outside of marriage. Super healthy message to give young kids /s

On some models yeah. I’ve had cars that didn’t

I’m pretty sure I have some deficiencies, but I’m lucky I got to learn pretty young on a farm. I’m torn between wanting to advocate kids have access to like go kart tracks at school vs funding more public transit and walkable communities, as someone else said. Both would be dope tho

Welcome to life, where occasionally you deal with things you don’t want to. I do hope you never experience a similar situation, but if you do, I hope it is handled with compassion.

5. Science, so the final stage is being shot from a canon. Or helping a med student. I’m fine with either

There’s a small city in the Kansas City, Missouri metro (Raytown) that lobbied to keep it legal in restaurants and bars. I just looked it up, and apparently it’s fine to smoke weed as of 2023, too

I’ve taken a few classes that touched on this concept. Most interesting to me is the concept of the two halves seemingly being secular vs deist, essentially. Now I’m wondering if the deist half is the “nonsensical” side, as you described.

If the follow up to you saying you’re done is them demanding to keep going, that is coercive and fucked up. I wouldn’t suggest lying in response unless you never plan to see them again, though, or if you feel safe and plan to address it later. It’s just as fucked up to keep up with the lie afterwards as it is to be coercive, imo. Both play coercive, indirect ways of refusing respect, and the tit-for-tat dynamic risks setting up a breeding grounds of resentment for at least the person maintaining a lie. It also denies the coercive person the opportunity for growth.
