We don’t have a common parlance word for those two bits of the palm in English. Do not say “heel” though, that is very wrong.

The medical term in English is “thenar” and “hypothenar”, but if you had just said “based on the palm" that would have been sufficient explanation for another speaker to get it.

You have encountered Gnostic thought (and related heresies!) The Gnostics believed that the God of the Christian Old Testament was actually Satan all along. It is an interesting rabbit hole to fall down into.

They… are?

H₁n̥gʷn̥éh₂ h₁érteti! H₁n̥gʷn̥éh₂ h₁érteti!!!

Dogs are cool but people are the best people because they can talk and invent jokes.

Hate to break it to ya bruv, but if that was the reaction, maybe the difference was in the comparative quality of the output ;)

Unfortunately every second I spend not at work when I should be at work causes BIG STRESS which eclipses the regular stress that work creates.

Sometimes I have to go back to cooking on a ceramic or gas at someone else’s house and it always annoys me how long boiling water takes.

I think it was mostly an excuse to post jokes, but some people do believe being repressed is a sign of a stronger person. Or that “self care” is bad in some way - most of that comes from the lingering religious shame many were brought up with.

Sorry champ, that only works on poor people. You gotta be way smarter to take down the rich.

Desire to look hot as fuck and the associated confidence boost.

I’m a woman and the standards for men really upset me as well. I would 100% support any man who started wearing a kilt to the office as a way to fight the norms.

I read the other comment a woman put here and I get what she’s saying, but I did also think she was minimising how much men are completely discouraged from any sort of self expression in clothing. Although also to be fair, I don’t work in an industry where there’s an expectation for women to look pretty so men can ogle them, so I probably just don’t have the experience to feel as strongly about it.

I guess, we should all fight against the injustices we see, and help each other against the ones we can’t see.

Oh! Haha. Then you’d be wrong ;)

Well, unfortunately I have several levels in “minor cretin”, so when you asked me what I wanted, the concept of food had never even occurred to me and my stomach was doing the REEEEEEEE but now that I smell a food it occurs to me that the REEEEEE was maybe hunger instead of nausea so now I’m hungy

But in my relationship I’d just tell my fiance I’m hungy now and then we’d order more food together because we are not 5.

Wisdom is understanding that all word categories are largely arbitrary, based on the distinctions which are needing to be made at any one time, and thus to apply the scientific, botanical definition of “fruit” to a general culinary context is foolish.

Yeah. It’s like any other religion, I guess.

Fun fact, tarot cards were invented in the late Middle Ages (from other similar cards which were popular around then, I think imported from the East?) and were used to play a game called Trumps. That’s why the major arcana cards are also known as trump cards. The magical ot esoteric aspect was added later. This means that technically, using tarot to “read the future” has as much inherent validity as any other deck of cards… I wanna see someone try with Pokemon or Uno cards 😂😂

No idea what that is but I’d love an explanation!

Imma level with you, I have no idea what that means. But uh, it was cool hangin’

Irrespective of its truthfulness, astrology is really cool! I love learning about it. I also really like alchemy. It’s kinda like looking at someone’s fanfic AU. Of course 17th century guys were inventing cute lil alphabets, pretending they belonged to angels, and writing lil secret notes. Of course someone looked up at the sky and then invented a whole magic system about how the pictures affect our lives. Humans never change.

In fact things like Tarot and astrology can be used to ascribe meaning to some of the ways in which we behave - like, you can’t tell the future objectively from it, but you can figure things out about your own current feelings based on what you gravitate to and what the results make you think about.

I’m with you bro. But I feel like at least a few of my problems are self inflicted. I need to get up, get out, move around, sleep right, eat right, drink water, and build community. There’s a torrent of bad but I want to be part of making things better, y’know?

Easier said than done, but also the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step? Idk take care brother
