#environmental influence

[tenth-sentence]

He also gave intelligence tests to southern-born blacks who had lived in New York City for different lengths of time, reasoning that if selective migration was at work, length of residence in the North should make no difference in the scores, but that if environment counted, then the scores should arise in proportion to time in the North.

Ever think about how confused Sauron is when Celebrimbor mentions the kingfishers? How the dried up riverbed and surrounding battlefield used to be filled with nature?

How they had their own unique ecosystem, full of plants and animals like holly trees and kingfishers?

And how, despite wanting to "heal" Middle-earth, Sauron never even spared a single thought to the nature he would be destroying in this goal? How he didn't even realise that they were there to begin with (even though they are the symbol of the Southland kingship he carried as Halbrand)?!

How his complete disregard for them proves above all else how little he has grown since his fall to Melkor/Morgoth, no matter how much he might believe in his own repentance?!?!

... yeah, me neither... 😔

The Environment's Role in Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth is an inward journey that involves deepening self-awareness, a connection to a higher purpose, and a pursuit of inner peace and enlightenment. Though one might perceive spiritual growth as purely internal, the environment plays an instrumental role in shaping this voyage.**The Outer Reflects the Inner**: Spirituality isn’t limited to the realm of meditation, prayers, or religious…

why are you expecting people to spontaneously get over their instinctive fear responses as if we’re not ultimately the culmination of our prior experiences

What do you think Nyo Ireland x Nyo Romano would be like?

Good question! Ultimately I don't think too much changes. Seamus takes care of Chiara and thinks her attitude is endearing, and Chiara really wants someone dependable and appreciates his sweetness (very similar to how Molly and Lovino function). However, there are some differences. Seamus and Molly both tend to short-circuit a little more when it comes to women, but Seamus thinks with his dick a bit more which can get him into trouble. Then you have Chiara, who acts pissy as a front when she really just wants a constant in her life. I think in a Nyo scenario it would take Seamus being more forward rather than the reverse for them to actually get into a relationship. I also think that Chiara is a little less eager to settle down than Lovino would be with Molly. Generally speaking, I think the two would go longer before putting a label on things, but they'd get there eventually. They'd probably fall into a more serious thing without even realizing it. I also feel like they'd have an easier time integrating into each other's families in this scenario.

for months I have been hoping for the return of the cassadine "freeze the world" weather machine, and getting steadily more convinced it was gonna happen, but instead Victor is doing some boring "overpopulation bad" ecofascism which isn't fun and camp at all and is just pissing me off

game that starts out as a cozy little farming sim and gradually expands into full-blown factory farming where you're raising livestock in narrow stalls by the millions and have enough economic sway to influence environmental policy-making that may slow your profits
