It’s possible that our whole life is a dream and we’re still in kindergarten taking a nap
Kindergarten me wouldnt have been able to make the kind of bullshit that’s happening up
It’s not day drinking if you worked the night shift.
If it’s happening during the day then its day drinking
Star Wars is the only sci-fi franchise that has nothing to do with the future or Earth.
It actually does have to do with the future you idiot
no it doesn’t it takes place “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away” .
it has to do with the past in a galaxy completely separate from the milky way
Its told from the perspective of very far kn the future, which is why there’s space travel and humans on other planets, but because it’s being told as a story theres two settings you can think of. The long time ago is in relation to when the story is being told, not in relation to what time the movies where made. So kn relation to where we are kn history it’s still supposed to be in the future, considering we dont have space travel or humans on other planets

Anonymous asked:
not a huge deal, and i know you weren't the one to say this either, but it's pretty misleading to say people are born essentially addicted to alcohol. i think your phrasing of a genetic predisposition is more in line with what scientists can say.
first, people aren't *born* addicted to something ("essentially" or otherwise) unless the person whose womb they were in was physically addicted to that substance while pregnant, and that's a very dangerous, very different issue.
second, from what i have read and learned, the way that scientists explain hereditary predispositions to addiction is not so direct as "you're born addicted to it and if you ever touch it it's game over." the vast majority of people do not become addicted to something the first or second time they try it. and yes, even if they are genetically more likely to become addicted.
substance use and abuse is a (pretty bad, mind you) coping skill. it's a reaction to internal and external conditions, like being a naturally anxious or depressed person, or going through difficulty in life. so although some physical parts of addiction, like how your individual brain processes pleasure/rewards from certain behaviors, might be passed down... a lot of it is just that responses to stress are hereditary as well as learned (meaning people learn these from their parents, but also, even if they aren't raised by their birth parents, how they respond to stress can still be predicted based on how their birth parents did). addiction is for most people a way of avoiding stressors in their life, and so a lot of the inherited predisposition to addiction is more just... an inherited predisposition to avoid and instead seek out distractions/comfort, rather than, say, being social or aggressive or something else when faced with difficulty.
tldr; it's just wrong to say that people are born basically addicted to something. there are people who are born addicted to things and that's an entirely separate issue, and it's pretty misleading as to how addiction works when it runs in families.
