This is incorrect. This is not a healed scar at all. That’s a very fresh burn wound exposing the flesh underneath without the melanin layer.

You can literally see the wound is fresh and is peeling off. Not a healed scar.

Go look up healed burn scars on black skin. The images can be pretty gruesome, but the melanin mostly returns.

and normally they don’t interact

But dark energy and dark matter make up 95% of our universe. So they would be the “normal”.

If anything, the 5% that we do know would be the “abnormal”.

And anyway, it’s only called dark energy and dark matter, not because it doesn’t have a cause, but because it doesn’t interact with light (photons don’t interact with it).

Although I think you are right that they don’t know what causes it. It does interact with gravity, though.

But all this is way beyond my tiny brain.

Turning 43 this year if you take the common 1981 as the cut-off.

Sounds like “Too Shy” by Kajagoogoo

Meh. Your value as a human isn’t tied to your accomplishments (be it having a family or getting a high paying job) or productivity.

This whole thing of “striving as a honed skill” sounds like hustling culture and capitalist brainwashing. In fact, I would say it takes more skill to actually be content with your life and not feel the constant need to strive to be someone better or do something more.

You seem to think that unless you’ve done something, you’re worthless.

It seems that according to your view, a homeless person without a family is completely worthless.

Yes, let’s fight prejudice by stereotyping a whole race, gender, and sexual orientation…

“A huge amount of time, energy and skill was taken to create our dodecahedron, so it was not used for mundane purposes,” writes the group, adding: “They are not of a standard size, so will not be measuring devices. They don’t show signs of wear, so they are not a tool.”

Instead, the group agrees with experts who think dodecahedrons were used for ritualistic or religious purposes. As Smithsonian magazine wrote last year, researchers at Belgium’s Gallo-Roman Museum have hypothesized that Romans used the objects in magical rituals, which could explain dodecahedrons’ absence from historical records: With the Roman Empire’s eventual embrace of Christianity came laws forbidding magic. Practitioners would have had to keep their rituals—and related objects—a secret.

“Roman society was full of superstition,” writes the Norton Disney group. “A potential link with local religious practice is our current working theory. More investigation is required, though.”

Nearly half (44 percent) of the identified microplastics were fibers, while a third (30 percent) were plastic fragments. This is in tune with other studies that have shown plastic fibers from clothes and other textile products are the most prevalent form of microplastic in the environment.

More important than single-use plastics seems to be synthetic clothing.

4 years where? To become a real psychologist (not a therapist) in most places you need a PhD or a PsyD. In total, you probably do at least 8 years of schooling.

Not to mention that that “book full of labels” is constantly reviewed and was made based on consensus from psychiatrists, which are medical doctors with a lot more than 4 years of schooling.
