Was taking an undergrad psych class. Teacher asked if we had any odd dreams. I mentioned that I had a dream where I was standing in a circle or benevolent strangers with my gf at the time. The song “brown eyed girl” was playing and then suddenly stopped. My gf and I turn to each other in surprise with a general “huh?” and the dream ends. The class has a fun time telling me I have a fear of commitment etc, we have a laugh and move on to the next person’s dream story.

That weekend, I visit my gfs college, we attend a huge bonfire. Ton of people gathered around. There’s a band. They sarcastically start playing brown eyed girl as a joke, as it was way off for their vibe, and then stop the song and make a joke. My gf and I turn to each other as if we were wanting them to play the whole song and we were surprised they stopped.

Then I freaked out! What made it wild was the fact I had shared the story a few days prior to my class.

I went back the next week and had to tell the class about the event. The professor was like “you have a gift”…

Ah, community college…

Buh bye Gymbo

The jig remains down.

Can we change the name to Starfleet, though??

Is the goal to create places so inhospitable to open minds, that those who possess a shred of empathy flee, creating a conservative gravity well of votes? Is that even sustainable

AOC, while questioning Cohen, sends her regards.

“My external locus of control comforts me and I’d prefer it not be challenged thank you very much.”

I was quoting Don McLean, but thank you very much for the synopsis!

RC Bray does this very well in his narrations.

Do you remember what was the deal?

The commander in chief bragged about our Abrams and Sherman tanks.

When I was little I went to a small school. All of us were in all of the same classes. We had to go at the pace of the slowest kids. I hated it then, and welcomed going into faster tracks when I hit high school.

Sadly, life is like those early classrooms…the dimmer bulbs will always hold us up.

Started playing baldurs gate 3, and all my questions seem to lead back to reddit. Frustrating. I do sub to a bg3 community on lemmy of course.

I always need to watch a video about the ISS, or NASA in general, after seeing photos like this.

Whatever.

Yep, from what I understand: Larceny (illegal taking and asportation of an item or items) + Assault = Robbery

Face. It speaks before you do, saying the same thing regardless of venue.

Large Marge has her passenger back.

We should have listened, but your poster was washed from the main stream media!

From what I understand, they appeal to a ‘higher power’ as a part of the 12 steps. Also, there is Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, and others. The 12-step program, as flawed as we may see it, actually helps a lot of people so I’m not knocking it.
I’ve also heard you can be very relaxed with the higher power ‘as you understand it’, providing a way in for agnostic/atheistic members. I don’t have all the info, just what I’ve heard unfortunately.
