Sure. Disassociation is a maladaptive coping technique where you remove your sense of self to avoid harms. It’s harmful in itself because it’s destructive to your very perception of the world and in developing meaningful interactions with life, but the entire reason you do it is so the outside world can’t harm you because you don’t recognize a you to harm as being important.
You don’t take any psychic damage from casual conversation when you’re dissociated. That’s the whole point!
Which is around $5 in today’s dollars.
$5 parking right next to the bread line. Not bad.
Humans do this yes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_game
That’s the truth. It was tone deafness, a lack of responsiveness, and a clear lack of principles that made me leave during that.
They’ve done that and they lived twice as long. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1977/12/01/octopus-surgery-has-a-surprising-end-longer-life/a8fabbce-0d76-400f-a9b4-e95b8b93094e/
To be clear, it’s still an advantage and for the ones that it isn’t they don’t die after mating. Most cephalopods are both predators and prey that life cycle results in a very high mortality rate. If you don’t hunt enough, you fail and if you get eaten you fail. The deep cold water ones though, tend to have to live longer due to less prey and have fewer predators so they tend to not die after mating.
Essentially their entire mating cycle is what causes this. They’ve got a gland behind the eye that puts them into mating mode and once it starts it never turns off until they overdose on sex hormone.
Most cephalopods are voracious hunters that eat and eat to grow big and then once mating mode switches on they just focus on mating, which results in a shit ton of babies. Every step of that cycle has an extremely high mortality rate resulting in strong selection pressures for the best of every phase. When they do something, they go big.
Oh baby, if you wanted to get away from adversarial sarcastic comments you sure came to the right place.
You’re getting downvoted but you ain’t wrong.
Are you taking about Formosa or the Republic of China?
This is fine, but I prefer it when you take the pie, put it into a food processor, compress it into a log and then slice it to serve on sandwich bread. Serving it just sliced out of the pie is lazy.
Or maybe we just tie some horses on the thing.
That’s just clay. They pinched the wheels from a ball of clay. That’s why the taper is so pronounced.
The man with the action packed expense account.
You need to have standing, which if the only impact is Congress’s budget then only Congress does.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flast_v._Cohen for establishment clause standing by regular taxpayers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hein_v._Freedom_From_Religion_Foundation for the court throwing that out for the executive. They’d likely throw the whole thing out now.
It interacts with nicotinic receptors in your stomach, and you’ll have the liver first past effect after that. Eating it is a bad idea.
Edit: I forgot to mention, absorbing it by your esophagus can irritate your vagus nerve and cause uncontrollable hiccups.
Actually that’s why we use ketamine as a painkiller. Dissociating is a powerful tool for both ignoring physical and psychological pain. When it comes to psychological harm, like anxiety from a casual conversation, then that conversation can’t really harm you if you’re precluding the anxiety from existing in the first place. That’s why it’s a coping mechanism. It’s just a destructive one in the long term.
