65. Do you have any pets? Tell me something about them.
I have half a dog! Sheâs an American Staffordshire Terrier and sheâs awesome. (Except for pulling on her leash and not getting along with other dogs/animals, thatâs kind of not so good. And not reliably coming when called.)
REASONS WHY COMFORT DOGS SHOULD BE ALLOWED AT MY SCHOOL
Did you know that dogs are great companions for treating stress, depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Many universities have created âDog roomsâ as a way for students to relieve stress before exams.
When my cat died, my dog came up to me, sat on my lap and licked the tears away, it only made me cry more knowing my dog cares for me back.
Dogs and cats and pets in general are just amazing
Fun fact: Thereâs a Giant Schnauzer named Ralf who works at the Royal Childrenâs Hospital, in Melbourne, Australia. He is known as somewhat of a miracle worker. The companion dog visits sick children each week and as he makes his rounds, he administers his own special âmedicineâ to his young wards. He sits in with kids during their chemotherapy sessions, lets them give him pats and hugs and makes them smile.
They found that the relaxing and happy effect of animals improved health and facilitated healing. [x]
So someone on the Shrinkyclinks tag was like âskinny!steve given to the winter soldier thoâ
and I was like yeeeeeeee
Hydra figures out a way to de-serum Steve and proceeds to make the fatal mistake of underestimating him. They think just cuz heâs tiny, he wonât be a threat. They think if they take away his voice and humiliate him by carving their sigil into his chest, heâll lose the will to fight. They think giving him to whats left of his best friend will break his spirit.
they are so fucking wrong
Steve bides his time and when the moments right, he dismantles Hydra from the inside. They never shouldâve underestimated Steve and they never shouldâve let him near the weapon heâs known how to fire since childhood; Bucky goddamn Barnes

If you put your blades in water, they will RUST. That rust is dangerous if it enters your body! Rust can cause things like tetanus which could possible lead to amputation or even death! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONâT DO THIS. THERE ARE OTHER ALTERNATIVES THAT CAN WORK, BUT PLEASE DONâT DO THIS. PLEASE REBLOG, THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!
Rust does not cause tetanus. Clostridia tetani, which is found primarily in animal poop, causes tetanus. Getting clostridia tetani into your bloodstream usually involves stepping on a nasty sharp thing, and nasty sharp things often have rust on them, hence the false connection. Â I donât actually know of any health effects form ingesting rust, though obviously getting flakes of anything in your bloodstream is a terrible idea.Â
Doctors who may be reading this, do you know of any dangers from rust qua rust getting in a cut?
Shouldn’t razor blades be anti-rust-y enough to be put into water for a little time, though, given that they’re products meant to be rinsed off every now and then (and nicking oneself accidentally while shaving isn’t that uncommon)?
the stereotype that women talk more than men is infinitely amusing to me because men are literally incapable of shutting the fuck up
i hope this post gets popular enough that i hurt a manâs feelings
Itâs not a stereotype itâs a proven fact you femanazi piece of shit.
lmao there it isÂ
You wanna talk proven facts? This shitâs been done, son: researcher Dale Spencer in Australia used audio and video tape to independently evaluate who talked the most in mixed-gender university classroom discussions. Regardless of the gender ratio of the students, whether the instructor was deliberately trying to encourage female participation or not, men always talked moreâwhether the metric was minutes of talking or number of words spoken.Â
Moreover, men literally have no clue how much they talk. When Spencer asked students to evaluate their perception of who talked more in a given discussion, women were pretty accurate; but men perceived the discussion as being âequalâ when women talked only 15% of the time, and the discussion as being dominated by women if they talked only 30% of the time.
Spencerâs conclusion, if I may parahprase: you only think we talk too much because youâd rather we were silent.
Interviewer: Does Spock envy Kirk in any way – or wish he had that ease with women, rather than the problems heâs always having?
Nimoy: âWell – Wait a minute – What problems?â
Interviewer: âWell, for example, Leila in âThis Side of Paradise -â
Nimoy: ââThis Side of Paradise?â Thatâs not a problem.â
Interviewer: ââI can love you,â Spock says when he finally is under the effect of the spores. Before that he couldnât even talk to her.â
Nimoy [flatly]: “Itâs not a problem. Spock without the influence of the spores functions the way he wants to – functions the way he chooses to. The spores put him in an altered position, where he functions differently because of the spores. But before and after the effect of the spores, he functions the way he chooses to.
Interviewer: âBut the essence of that particular story is that spores released him to express the emotions which he had within him.â
Nimoy: "Well, I dealt with that in the book, I Am Not Spock. The point is that what youâre saying, the position youâre taking is that Spock, if he had the choice would choose to function as he did under the influence of the spores. Or that he was happiest then. And what I said in the book was that
thatâs not necessarily true. He had some insight into another kind of
experience, which was interesting. But that does not necessarily mean
that that would be his choice. Given the opportunity, he makes the choice
to go the other way. He could, at the end of the show say, I would prefer
to be that way, to be in that condition. But he doesnât, does he?â
Interviewer: ‘Actually, he almost does. He says, âFor the first time in my life,
I was happy.â ’
Nimoy: âI wrote about that line, and what I said was that the human assumption
would be that that would be a desirable state. Spock is not describing
it in a qualitative sense. Heâs describing it in a descriptive sense.
Like you might say, âFor the first time in my life I had a hamburger.
For the first time in my life I was happy. For the first time in my life
I walked down La Cienega Boulevard. For the first time in my life, I sat
down and had lunch at The Captainâs Table.â Itâs just a statement
of fact of something that he experienced. Humans would automatically say,
âAw, the poor guy, he canât be happy anymore. He was only happy for that
moment.â Spock wasnât feeling sorry for himself when he said that. He
isnât saying: (Spock:) âThatâs a state of grace that I would like to achieve
for the rest of my life.â Heâs just saying: âThatâs interesting. Now I
know what Humans mean when they say, âIâm happy.â Well, for
the first time in my life, I was happy. So, I know, now. Itâs part of
my recorded matter in my head. If somebody says, âDo you know what
happiness is?â – Yeah, I think I could say I know what that is. I
had that once.ââ
