Same great Dharma, new SolarPunk packaging!

So what would the total amount of information in an average ejaculation be? Dumb it down for me, please? Lol
How would you allow a student to express that they do not understand?
Ooh, I like that! I tend to say “no entiendo” but I’m not sure if that’s actually correct. No se is a lot easier haha
I’ve only really learned the Spanish I’ve picked up by osmosis, living in areas with large Spanish speaking populations. I’m actually genuinely proud of myself for being able to read this simple comic. Lmao
Edit:
My favorite Spanish sentence, and the only one I can say with any real confidence: Lo siento, mi español es muy malo.
Apparently, I say it with a near flawless accent, though, because whenever I say it people machine-gun Spanish back to me and tell me “no, no, it’s very good!”


I had fully forgotten the phrase “you’ll tie up the phone line!” And I just had a nam style flashback of sneaking internet time during the day when my mom was at work, and praying that no one tried to call


11 was the number I remembered it being. Been quoting that for years. Jesus Christ, it’s more than doubled. Wtaf is wrong with humanity


I don’t really care about down votes, tbh. But disliking a figure and pretending they don’t exist is ridiculous. “Stalin was awful! So he’s fictional!”
… Yeah, bro. That tracks. Lol


Thank you for being the one to post that. It really bugs me when people say Jesus didn’t exist and present it as if it’s uncontroversial fact. Whether you believe in the claims about Him as a Messiah, a divine figure, et cetera are beside the point when discussing His existence. There is actual historical evidence to support that the figure existed and began a ministry around that time. Being anti historical is just bad practice, regardless of the side you’re falling on. Historical Jesus is a fascinating subject.
Again, regardless of your view, love Him or hate Him, a guy was born, said some stuff, and died, and it literally changed the entire course of human history. Religions that reigned for thousands of years do not exist anymore because of Him, the most influential government to exist until the modern era was based on the idea of being the torch bearers of His legacy. Empires rose and fell on His word (or, His supposed words, depending on your point of view). Like… No matter what, it’s a crazily interesting thing, and the idea that any one human can have a legacy like that is amazing. Let’s not downplay it. Heck, if you hate the guy, at least acknowledge He was real so that we figure out how to prevent others from having their message of peace and love so distorted and causing so much grief.
A dude lived 2000 years ago and we’re still talking about him, that’s pretty incredible. Worth learning about. Same with other historical religious figures, like Muhammed, Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha, although we are slightly less sure he existed, though consensus is that he did), Adi Shankara, and others.

“We shouldn’t be setting bones and giving people casts. Just imagine how much more reckless people will be if they don’t have the threat of deformity and lifelong pain!”
Let people have nice teeth, even if maybe they didn’t take the greatest care or them as young folks, or grew up eating highly acidic foods or drinking soda.


In order of preference:
The ability to travel through time (and change things) as I wish, and to also have a basic understanding the way those changes will impact the (relative to the time I am currently in) future. None of that “Earth’s in the wrong place, you die in the vacuum of space” bullshit.
The ability to bring people back from the dead and have them be healthy and happy
Shape shifting


“Hey, Friend, do me a favor. Write a fictional story wherein all of my wildest dreams came true, and the world is perfect, and my mom is still alive, and also it’s a socialist utopia? Yeah. Literally just that. Like a paragraph long. Doesn’t need to be good. Yeah. Everyone I love is immortal. Got it? Perfect. Deuces”,
My mom absolutely adored this style, and I gotta admit, I’ve always loved it. Fuck the haters, this rocks. It’s giving “I’m not going to be calling the cops on you for having a barbecue,” which is exactly the vibe I get from the live, laugh, love Karens.
Edit: said with love, y’all can hate if you wanna, but as for me and my house, we serve the starry aesthetic!


In the phrase “it’s the 90s” the connotation was optimistic, things are improving, et cetera. In “it’s the 21st century” or “it’s 202x” the idea is normally about how tech has or should have improved, in my experience. Like, the 90s phrase could be used for just about anything, “it’s the 90s, Jimmy, everyone’s cool with the gays!” Or whatever else. It was optimism and hope and a belief that things were improving. Now it’s just “it’s 2025, why the fuck doesn’t my debit card work?” Or “in the year of our Lord 2021, why does no one believe the scientists?”
Fuckin’ same. My void demands so much dick it’s crazy


You’re right. I must have been remembering a fever dream


I respect your opinion, and fundamentally disagree. You’re never going to convince me it wasn’t great. But I do get why people didn’t like it. It just happened to sit really well with me, until the last episode which didn’t actually happen and was never filmed nor aired. Nope. Nuh uh


Can’t help it. Love it. Love Trip, love T’pol, Phlox is life, and the theme song fucking slaps. Humanity at odds with the Vulcans? The andorian plotlines? An actual feeling of newness and discovery? It’s so good.
DS9 is still my favorite, though
You might actually both be saying the same thing here. Caveat being that I have no idea what the science says about cold/flu, but when talking about humidity when the air is colder it is drier. 90% humidity at 35F is not the same as 90% at 85F. As the air cools it is able to hold less moisture. So your observation that there’s an uptick during colder weather at a higher relative humidity could be the same as saying it’s more likely in drier air, because the air is drier when it’s cold, even when the relative humidity shows the same percentage.
