  • Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.

    Since I’m close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it’s illegal again.

    And if you live in an “at will” state, they can just fire you even if it’s legal.

    Sidenote: “at will” employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.

    Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I’m realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.












  • I’m not saying this to try and downplay your own emotions, but some level of “not wanting to see my favorite character in pain” is pretty normal for everyone. Not to this extent, but on some level, for everyone.

    In Stargate Atlantis, when Dr Rodney McKay gets a brain parasite that turned his brain into basically a child, I lost my shit. I had to stop the episode to take a break multiple times because I literally couldn’t see the screen. Didn’t matter that I was certain they would have him back to normal by the end of the episode. Doesn’t matter that I know how the episode ends now. Still can’t watch it all in one go without problems.

    That might have more to do with personal phobias though, because every other time he’s in danger I react about the same way the other characters do. Eye roll and a chuckle, because he’s probably overreacting out of anxiety (definitely not something I would do… Heh…)

    As others have said, and I’m just confirming, empathy is pretty normal, and likely the closest thing in English at least. Can someone ask a German?






  • Well you’re at a college. If you want people to follow rules, be more specific, or don’t get pissed when they follow the stated rules but you feel like the rules should include something else.

    If the concern is liability, then don’t just say “don’t skateboard” and get mad when people bike through the area. You said no skateboards. This is not a skateboard. Rules=followed.

    If anyone feels like chirping in with “you know what they meant” that really doesn’t matter. Not to me, not to people who don’t understand that sort of thing, not to courts.

    Besides, I feel like clarity is some thing you should strive for at a facility for higher education.




  • I like watching Rick and Morty.

    I have exactly 0 accessories, paraphernalia, or otherwise branded items in my possession that indicate that.

    I feel fairly confident that most people here are aware of how childish, arrogant, and honestly just downright insufferable Rick and morty “fans” can be.

    • nuggy sauce reeeeeeeeeeeeee screeches in the background*

    It seems like every time it comes up in conversation, and the other person is a fan, they immediately seem to launch into a tirade about how modern shows are all crap because they’re stupid, not like THIS show. It’s like the “you have to have a high IQ” meme just became the unironic norm for a lot of people.

    It’s usually fart jokes and lowest common denominator humor dressed up in Sci fi tropes. You aren’t special for understanding highschool introductory phycisal science.

    Futurama is arguably the same kind of show, but they know exactly what they are, and the writers actually have well educated backgrounds to make the science stuff a bit less… “VX nozzle on the turboencabulator”-esque
