    I love this about us.

    It’s just delightful how many situations our brain is willing to shrug and say “close enough” to. Oh wait the pencil has a name now? I guess it must be basically the same as me.

    If I pretend an object is talking, my partner will instantly feel bad for how she’s treated it.

    It’s not sad, it’s just how brains are.

      I’m perpetually mad at having a global conversation about a thing without understanding how it works despite how it works not being a secret or that complicated to conceptualize.

      I am now also mad at having a global conversation about a thing without understanding how we work despite how we work not being a secret or that complicated to conceptualize.

      I mean, less so, because we’re more complicated and if you want to test things out you need to deal with all the squishy bits and people keep complaining about how you need to follow “ethics” and you can’t keep control groups in cages unless they agree to it and stuff, but… you know, more or less.
