they should order them in popularity, so we know which one to chop down next. in all srsness tho, why the vitriol over a tree no longer being there? i thought enviromentalists were meant to be virtuous?

Do you mean you actually work hard or just avoid getting caught being lazy? If you can work hard, I dont think you had an inability to do it in the first place

"ADHD traits like time blindness, limited working memory, craving stimulation, and sensitivity to rejection often clash with these expectations. Employers frequently misinterpret these traits as laziness, carelessness, unreliability, or defensiveness."

"Such poets, being “ignorant of what is right and legitimate in the realm of the Muses,” rebelled against the traditional conventions of music and poetry."

humans have eaten shellfish for millions of years, so whats the practical benefit of lessening the variety of foods you intake? The original reasons for these prohibitions were not scientific in the slightest - its all subjective. dont forget they literally believe themselves to be god "chosen people", not my words, it definitely is an us and them thing

its just people having feelies. then they justify it with ad-hoc thinkies, and when those inevitably crumble under scrutiny, its because god said so. and also we'll kill ya because you dont agree.
