You ever injure yourself and then immediately be like, welp, I had that one coming? So anyway, I was trying to cut a lotion bottle open with a razor scraper,,,
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Does anyone know any writing (broadly defined) that links Cognitive Psychology and eugenics? I'm specifically interested in discussions beyond the obvious (but ofc not less important) IQ/intelligence stuff. I'm thinking, e.g., vision science-y stuff or perception in general

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States
