There have been times in my life when I would have fled, and times in my life when I would have fought. Never for the idea of country, but certainly for the people in the country. I’m a middle aged American woman and having no family anymore, I have considered fighting for the families of Ukraine. Though not too seriously and I don’t even know if they’d take me
I thought I turned 36 on my 35th birthday, so i imagine towards the end of being 34 I must have forgotten my age
I was never 35. Thought I was 36 until my 36th birthday when I realized I had been wrong for the previous year.
There was a study a while ago what showed money correlated well with happiness until about 100k/yr of income in the US, at which point it flatlined. I can’t remember how long ago this was and inflation would certainly make that number high today, but it made sense other than that even at the time I thought 100k was a but low for the flatline, but I’ve lived in some of the most expensive areas of the US and in Japan through my life, so I’m sure my experiences are a very skewed.

I vaguely recall a study from well over a decade ago where they used a light patch so that the only change in light for the sleeping participants would be on the skin and showed that circadian rhythm wasn’t dependent (solely, at least) on eyesight. Mind you this is a vague memory from a long time ago so take it with a grain of salt.
For anyone wondering the Japanese is essentially “use fire” or “set it on fire”
I vocalize pretty loudly when I sneeze and it’s entirely involuntary. I hate that I do it and I’ve tried to force myself to stop and it doesn’t work.
It’s always amazing to me how different people react so differently to certain drugs. For me, the first line would be something like “anxiety is still there, but my brain is a little fuzzy and it feels a bit further away” and the rest of the lines would be “brain so fuzzy. Hate. “
Gender roles may be fake bs, but saying gender itself is fake is profoundly transphobic.
To be fair most of the map imagery we use from google/apple/etc is from planes and not satellites
