“If you take it longer than 30 minutes, you end up in deep sleep. Have you ever taken a nap and felt worse when you woke up? That’s what’s happening — you’re sleeping too long and you’re going into a stage of sleep that’s very difficult to get out of.” [x]
Sleep inertia is a physiological state characterized by a decline in motor dexterity and a subjective feeling of grogginess immediately following an abrupt awakening. The impaired alertness may interfere with the ability to perform mental or physical tasks. Sleep inertia can also refer to the tendency of a person wanting to return to sleep.
Studies by the Human Factors Division at NASA Ames Research Center have shown that a variety of factors influence the severity and duration of sleep inertia. One includes:
Depth of sleep when awakened. After roughly 30 minutes, the brain enters into slow-wave sleep (deep sleep). Being awakened during this stage yields more sleep inertia than awakening from other stages of sleep. However, since one cannot predict accurately the stages of sleep that will occur within a nap, there is no physiological reason to try to limit the length of a nap. When one is sleep deprived, any sleep is good.
Man am I the only one who hates it when people look at girls that are traditionally masculine or guys that are traditionally feminine and then immediately headcanon them as trans or insist that they are trans.
I mean trans headcanons are fine but if it’s made BECAUSE of the fact that they are masculine or feminine is what bugs me
This was basically what I was saying about people thinking Steven is a transgirl now? Characters can have masculine or feminine traits, that doesn’t mean they’re trans…
Yeah, its very damaging too. They be implying that if you are a certain gender and you act and dress the way the opposite gender is stereotyped as, that means you are trans, which erases girls who are traditionally masculine/boys that are traditionally feminine. Which is not cool at all.
It pisses me off too because the reason people do the things they do is more likely because they have low self esteem due to toxic environments. Like dipper and danny fenton. They aren’t trans because they wear shirts to the pool, they are incredibly self conscious.
like there are “people who like cats” and then there is this motherfucker
the very first time we ever see him he is petting his cat, and you’re like, “oh okay, it’s like that one james bond villain, that’s cool w/e”
but this on a whole new level of crazy cat lady
call giovanni randomly at any time of the day or night?? cat’s with him
headquarters blown up by mewtwo? at least he saved the cat
on vacation…with the cat
mission to recapture mewtwo: you will need 1) small army of personal soldiers 2) lots of high-tech equipment 3) your cat
or if you’re trying to capture meloetta or something, bring your cat to that too
like at literally any given moment you can walk into Giovanni’s office and he’ll just be sitting there like “who’s a good kitty, yes you are”
the HGSS executives will never appear in the anime because all of their job duties are already taken by persian
kitty
fluffy kitty
May I also remind you that according to PoikeDex-entries, Persians are said to be difficult to raise.
These two are epitome of inseparable.
But there’s a practical side to it, too.
He’s never without a Pokemon. Persian can jump into battle at any moment if it needs to.
It’s like keeping a pistol within easy reach. A pistol that purrs and loves you back.
I don’t blame him. Persian is also a pain in the ass in battle. In every generation.
In gen 1, critical hits are based on a Pokemon’s speed stat plugged into a formula and crit damage is based on the Pokemon’s level. High-crit attacks were eight times more likely to crit than a regular attack done by the same Pokemon. Since Persian’s highest stat is Speed, and its base Speed is well over 64, Persian’s Slash crits every time. Slash is also a STAB attack for Persian. That means a level 100 Persian would deal about three times as much damage with Slash than it would without crit or STAB boosts. Got Pokemon Stadium? Taking on the Prime Cup? Take a Persian with you.
The crit formula was reworked/nerfed in gen 2 and again in gen 3, but Persian still was a force to be reckoned with, plus it gained Limber when abilities became a thing, so you couldn’t paralyze the fucker and slow it down.
Getting Technician in gen 4 opened more doors for Persian. Since its Attack and Sp. Attack are about even, and it can learn a wide variety of low power special attacks, a Technician Persian can make multitasking attacks a nightmare. Swift is great for a Technician Persian, and you can add a good Hidden Power type for a nice surprise.
That’s why I love Persian. It’s a troll in cat form.
At 23 weeks chances are good that this fetus is being removed because it is:
a) Already dead b) Suffering abnormalities such as it developed no brain, or had a serious genetic condition that would kill it quickly. c) Was actively dying (not dead yet but would be within a few days, 100% guarunteed, 0 chance of saving it) d) Was actively killing the pregnant person.
Late term abortions, as shown here, make up only 1.5% of all abortions. The above four reasons are the only reasons such procedures are performed. Almost every abortion performed after 20 weeks is done on a wanted pregnancy. So you know what that means? You’re calling people who miscarried murderers. You just implied people who had a miscarriage or would have died murderers. How dare you call yourself pro life for that.
Now for the fun fact: They used to use a different procedure for these abortions in which they removed the fetus intact and allowed these people to grieve for the intact fetus, have pictures, etc. Pro lifers decided people losing a wanted pregnancy should not be allowed to grieve an intact fetus and we were left with this.
Congrats. Your movement is the reason they use this one now when people lose a wanted pregnancy late into the pregnancy. Your movement is intentionally making it harder for people to recover from the lose of a much wanted pregnancy. It’s your movement who left grieving people with this instead of allowing them something easier to deal with, something that would let them hold their deceased fetus.
Congrats. If you think you were ‘saving’ something think again. You’re hurting born people. You’re hurting people who lose a wanted pregnancy by shaming this abortion procedure. And you’re movement is the reason this is procedure doctors are forced to use now. You’re probably an awful and mean person to tell people losing a wanted pregnancy that they’re killers.
This is the post that made me pro-choice. Glad to see it still circulating.
I lost a baby brother at something like 14 weeks because he’d attached to the uterine wall backward, and when he started kicking he tore himself away and hemorrhaged to death.
You goddamn “pro-lifers” were ready to let my mother die with him rather than “killing him before God’s time.” He was already dead; it was a matter at that point of him bleeding out. My mother was bleeding with him. My mother was dying with him. And the hospital she was in? That fine pro-life hospital? Refused to let her transfer to another hospital to abort. She had a ten-year-old and an eight-month old at home, but making sure Joey didn’t die “before God’s time” was more goddamn important than making sure my mother survived.
My mother asked the nurse if she’d take pictures, saying that the ultrasound images were really blurry and she’d at least like something to remember him by. The nurse, after Joey was dead and my mom was in recovery, threw pictures on my mother’s bed. This fine pro-life nurse gave my mother pictures of a baby that was jet black where he wasn’t blood red. He didn’t even look human. And she threw the pictures in my mother’s face, like it was her fault that there was a terrible, terrible biological mistake that made it impossible for her baby to survive.
We wanted him. Not that the fact that you’ll notice he already had a name picked out would’ve clued you in. I would have had a baby brother just a year younger than me. My sophomore year in college I spent a lot of time crying alone in the student union, thinking it wasn’t right, it wasn’t fair, I should be taking my brother to dinner with friends or helping him study for his first midterms. I’m a big sister with no little brother to show for it, and there was a year that pain and loss came back eighteen years after the fact to wound me when I least expected it. There was a year when there were songs I couldn’t bring myself to listen to without crying because they reminded me of what I could have had. And I still wish, I still wish, they’d aborted him. Because the end result would have been the same. And my family would have been spared a world of pain believing we were losing brother and mother both. I was in ICU at the time after an allergic reaction that left me unable to breathe. How do you suppose my sister felt? Mother dying, sister dying, brother dead–just a matter of time on that one. Ten years old, watching her entire family struggling to breathe, struggling to live.
And you motherfuckers would call my mom a murderer for this. And you cared more for a baby already dying than you did for the two already born who needed their mom.
Fuck you. You’re not pro-life. You’re anti-woman, anti-family, anti-compassion and anti-love.
