Would I be any less/more happier in another socioeconomic role due to the hedonic treadmill?

What if women had penises and men had vaginas? Would society be better off or would we just find different ways to be lovely to women?

I read about this amazing little bug a few days ago and my mind goes to strange places in idle wondering now.

Another interesting thought experiment is what if we had reverse jointed legs. We are bipedal but designed for socializing rather than jumping higher and running even faster than we do.
Reverse jointed legs would give us jumping capability akin to grasshoppers.

Zesty.


It's 4:33 and I notice that I'm on my second consecutive night of drinking beer and smoking weed on the sidewalk and listening to the police scanner. For the second night in a row, the cops sound really tired, and I notice they're almost excited when they say something like "cardiac, not virus related." I don't really like cops, but I'm tired too. The police scanner is interesting.

Working on a witch doctor, but to get super stronk you really need a lot class-focued uniques or a good set and I've been having bad luck with drops every time I play him. just poo poo I already have mostly

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

i am becoming increasingly unwell over time

is this because of me, or my environment? do i have the power to effectively change either?

when i don't drink lights dance around the corners of my vision when i try to close my eyes. when i open them sometimes shadowy figments... linger



thats probably bad

I slept from like 8:30 to 11:30 and haven't been able to get back to sleep. I laid around for the last hour doing nothing. At least I'm resting even if I'm not sleeping...

They just roughouse all the time, it's not a real fight. Sometimes the cats claws get stuck in the dogs face though but then the dog tries to pick the cat up by his scruff so its basically a tie
