Why?

So you're telling me I should smoke?

This is some https://www.reddit.com/r/im14andthisisdeep/ material.

The wife didn't suffer disabling burns, or loss of eyesight or limbs, and the guy then pretends to go blind, and spends every single day for the rest of her life lying to her, as well as quitting his job. There's nothing noble or gallant about any of this, and considering that they have children together, it is also wildly irresponsible and placing unnecessary burdens on his wife by pretending to be a victim. Not to mention the complete lack of realism. If the wife ever found out that he had created this lie about going blind, would she not be upset and feel betrayed by him?

Elagabalus' stone was shaped like a sugar loaf, wasn't it? And they moved it to Rome.

Mid century, probably 1940s or 50s. Meant to look rustic/Baroque/Latin American, but too neat, and simultaneously overdone and chunky, in a manner which evokes golden age Disney cartoons, like Pinocchio and Snow White.

That's what happened. As far as I'm aware I haven't held back any vital information, other than her medical conditions. No one I've talked to, amongst the psychologists, the doctors, the management professionals, my lawyer, make any sense of this. Her reaction was exactly this drastic and chaotic.

She's wanted to change jobs for a long time. She moved in with her boyfriend in 2023, and he lives more than 3 hours away by train. So she would commute to work, stay a couple of days and borrow a bed. Her long-term plan was always to get a new job, except she wanted to get pregnant first. However, in the summer of 2025 she found out she's not able to conceive.

Same. The other guys are unreliable, unemployed slackers.

He's not actually diagnosed by a professional. This was Musk self-diagnosing himself in 2023, when identifying as an "Aspie" was still cool. This is just the usual pattern of cringe behaviour from Musk, with him embracing something just as it is about to go out of fashion.

It should be said that the spice trade that formed the basis for the colonization efforts in the 17th century, was centered on black pepper, nutmeg, mace, and cloves, and not really any of the spices which are common in Asian cooking today.

The spices which were popular in Europe in the medieval period, into the late 18th century, tend to make the food taste and smell very Christmassy, it's very unlike the food you might get in an Indian or Thai restaurant.

So even if British cooking had continued to use the spices that they supposedly colonized the world for, it would still have been very different from the expectations someone from South Asia might have.

I can reach my toes like that, and I'm not in a good physical shape. I'm type-2 diabetic and at least 15 kg overweight. But I can still reach my toes, so how's that a measure of my physical health? And it's not like I wear clown shoes, or I've got the arms of a gorilla or anything unusual like that.

Here's a similar device that was used in a Norwegian pharmacy.

Agatha Christie used to do this when she was working in a pharmacy in Torquay.

You can buy black chairs at IKEA or something.

It's going to be a lot easier, and probably cheaper.

The difference here is that a large number of students do not get to choose their dorm, and that living long term in windowless rooms have been proven to cause depression and lead to severe mental illness.

It's not a matter of taste, and you can't really alleviate the lack of windows by providing better services in other areas. Being forced to occupy windowless rooms for a prolonged time is gambling with your mental health, and could trigger lifelong mental illness. With a large population of students, it is only a matter of statistics, because it will inevitably lead to suicides

Building a dorm without windows is reckless, cruel, and ultimately unnecessary, and it will lead to people killing themselves.

What's wrong with Norway?

It looks like a lute or a spoon. How can you not like it?

I have this but I also have an aspergers/ autism diagnosis.
