  • going through university rn and I wish I’d just done 3 years in the military out of school, then gone on to other things. Uni is incredibly lacking in structure, taking a long long time while also not keeping you very engaged with the material - I’m no longer interested in what i started studying, I’m even less interested in what I’m currently studying, doing odd jobs that don’t need a degree seems far more cost effective and better for personal growth.


  • Just because they believe it’s tasteless and disgusting doesn’t mean they’re going to attack people over it. It’s fine. Probably most people don’t support prostitution, because we see that most people do not engage with sex work in any way.

    We need to drop the idea that people - in this case, sex workers - get harmed unless 100% of society is repeating some mantra - e.g “sex work is real work” - to demonstrate their allegiance to x oppressed group. Sometimes people just don’t interact with that slice of society.


  • Ideally we shouldn’t have it, to protect sex workers. I know people say “legalise it as much as possible and they’ll be safe” but that’s not really true - people are safest when they don’t have to trade sex, and nobody should have to sell their body. Ever.

    As i’ve gotten older it seems like less of a problem though. It should be targeted / cracked down on when it helps to rout out other types of organised crime, but I don’t feel like the existence of prostitutes is causing people to cheat on their partners or anything - i think if someone is prone to doing that, they’ll find a way. [open to hearing disagreements]

    Also I feel like the way to get people to stop being prostitutes is to show compassion, like Jesus did, rather than punishing them.






  • Don’t know if i would describe it as a friendship, but squirells are one of the easiest creatures to form a (one-sided) business relationship with because of their ravenous hunger.

    Step 1; have cat flap/dog flap Step 2: leave nuts in cat flap for That’s it. They will straight up queue outside your back door for free samples. Optional Step: Place nuts in garden or in cat flap when you think squirells are around, watching. This means they’ll more quickly associate you with the food.

    Also Crows. Absolutely amazing creatures.



  • Uranus was (…) named after the father of Saturn and the titans. I guess going from grandson to grandfather when going from Jupiter to Uranus?

    I was wondering what the reason was! I’m glad there’s a good reason for all the names because I’ve always felt that they’re all a good fit.

    • Venus would make more sense as “haephaestus/vulcan” IMO

    • “Ceres” the large-and-round asteroid doesn’t make much sense, because obviously no grain or agricultural stuff going on there. How about - “Persephone/Prosepina,” since it’s locked in the asteroid belt much like she was trapped in the underworld, and yet also has great potential to be a planet of its own.

    EDIT: Apparently Ceres is a dwarf planet now, and Proserpina is an asteroid… i would rename that one though.

    I think - given how many astronomical bodies there are - it might be a good idea, looking forward, to just label planets based on their proximity to their capital star. Boring answer, yes, but it’s the only thing I vibe with other than MVEMJSUNP

    So:

    • Sol 1 = Mercury
    • Sol 2 = Venus
    • Sol 3 = Earth

    OR

    • Rocky Sol
    • Acidy Sol
    • Earthy(?) Sol / Life Sol
    • Deserty Sol
    • Gassy Stormy Sol… oh wait they’re all gassy and stormy from this point onwards.

    Earth should almost definitely be called Terra btw… in-line with the other Roman Gods.
