I assume closely related hominids which are now extinct. Neanderthal DNA is present in current human strains, which means they didn’t even speciate (though potentially successful gestation was rarer).
Why am I writing like an alien nerd observing humans?
Military service is traumatising, but can build up a nest egg of funds, so to speak. If your trauma doesn’t turn into a self-reinforcing cycle, you’re in a better position than most in our society (materially, not morally). It lends itself to falling in one extreme or another.
That said, I imagine there’s a decent number of people who get regular jobs in the middle that you never hear about. Just the people at the bottom get the whole “they sacrificed their mental health and their life, why can’t we help them” signal boost
The “dogs are boys, cats are girls” one is a very common answer to this question on reddit.
Australia, we had to ask until uni
Next to the exhaust vent of the local underground commuter rail (is that a metro or subway? It’s only for one stop). It got quite cold and vent provided a warm breeze. It was the last spot that night where security didn’t push me along from
For zionists, at least, that has been true for a very long time >.>
Word for word my answer
Wait? What’s the reason? Like, the tld is for Mali, but lemmy and lemmygrad use it as “marxist-leninist” as a joke. Or at least that’s what I thought the story was
For whatever reason, I’ve seen fascists try to claim they are not fascists because they haven’t done anything yet or are not close to the levers of power.
Why would anyone care about what other people have as desktop wallpaper? I don’t even look at my own wallpaper that much
Always fun when you get a string of good carpentry or gardening tips
I found I couldn’t do it. I have a set of traumas that means I go into a weird fugue state where I massively undercharge by an order of magnitude and take on every liability. I think it’s some sort of rejection dissociation thingy, or like just trying to end the situation as quickly as possible. This meant I had made very little money and promised a lot, and also came to hate my hobby.
Now that I have a job, the stakes are much lower, I get regular pay, and I also pretty much never have to negotiate directly with clients.
It took a really long time to get that job though, given that job searching also requires skills I do not have
I miss doing this. I pretty much stopped inviting people over once some housemates reacted really badly to it
I remember for quite a while, the only thing keeping me going was spite. The worst people in the country wanted me dead (or at least starving in the street), so I had to keep hanging on or they’d win
Humans like talking about themselves and relating their experiences to those they’re talking to.
I got a graphics card that somehow bricked hard drives. We went through a lot of hard drives before finding out this was the case. I don’t remember specifics
Someone once paid me to poke them with a stick every time I caught them not doing their assignments. Offloading executive functioning onto someone else can work
“Completely different” when the two things are actually very similar
I’m not entirely sure what it means enough to give a summary.
The first usage that pops into my mind is when someone has said a silly joke regarding your situation and you want to acknowledge the joke but also move on quickly.
Second usage is someone has suggested something, you want to say you understand but you have a different opinion.

I’m hiding a homeless person in my home, which is risking eviction to keep someone off the streets. Here, most tenancies don’t allow you to “sublet”, the landlord legally gets the final say about who lives in their property.
