You don't believe science. Science is the process of understanding and learning about the universe. There is nothing to believe. If you agree you agree, if you disagree you prove otherwise. No dogmatism, rituals, beliefs, traditions are present unlike religions. So apples to oranges.
You can also choose to understand science if you invest enough time. You cannot, for example, see a god if you work hard. Again, apples to oranges.
Can you elaborate what you mean by things that science can't explain?
Everything came from randomness and is mostly narrated by it, and there's no escape from it. You may hit the lottery or end up with a rare fatal disease any time, your life will be changed and there's nothing you can do about it. It's not about god granting you awards or punishing you, it just happens. From this POV getting depressed because I went through x feels like getting depressed because water flows.
Life is painful, also joyful, beautiful and really ugly, gross and amazing. You're supposed to fall, get hurt and then get up and run a bit more until you can't anymore. Every good and bad thing will pass in time
At college I walked to the nearest train station to pick up half smoked cigarette butts when I couldnt afford a pack of cigs (~10 km). At the end of the month usually. Me & my then boyfriend waited until like 2 am then walked the city to go through clothes & house items left besides the dumpsters. This was before covid and all that
Both parties should contribute equally.
That being said it's a grey area. When I was out of a job and my bf worked 12 hour shifts, and came home exhausted and defeated, I didn't mind doing all the work in the house. He did the same thing when I was working and he lost his job. Etc.
It's more like "I can do this if you don't have the time/energy" and less like "I am required to do this because he is required to handle finances" though. Every relationship is different so this would be better answered in relationship_advice, with context and background explained
Aerobic respiration is overrated
We did some acid with my then boyfriend. When we went to sleep that morning, he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, still nothing. Then he had a sudden sort of "vision" of his friend in an unfamiliar room. He called him and described the room, turns out the friend was at his childhood home, visiting his parents. He described the room pretty clearly and his friend was flabbergasted - if thats the correct word. This is the one thing I could not explain, although had some theories on how acid might enhance the "receiver" part of the brain. There's not enough research done so that stayed as a theory. We did acid a bunch of times later, couple times just to experience something similar, but it never did.
Yeah, that's what it boils down to.
My train of thought was more directed towards trying to understand her mindset and why she converted.
Edited a word
In ramadan, people fasted all day long and broke their fast at evening. In the morning, my granma prepared "keşkek"; tomato paste, wheat and stock, put it all in a clay pot called "caba". She'd take the caba's, hand me a bunch of firewood and we'd walk to the neighbors house. Everybody in the neighbourhood did this. They had a huge outdoor oven, everybody would bring firewood and their caba's. Then they'd put all of the cabas in the oven, fire it and let it cook, until it's evening, time to break the fast. The food would slowly cook in fire and when it's time to break the fast, the whole neighbourhood smelled like delicious keşkek. Then you'd go get your cabas from the neighbor, and there would be this thick crust on top. That was my favorite, and honestly I haven't had anything that smells or tastes that good. I'd wait for ramadan every year. Of course I wouldn't fast because I was just a kid

It's a tad morbid. I didn't know most of the details about this in/famous era. Read on Dead and Euronymous too if you can. These guys were nuts. Mind blowing to think all this happened only 25 - 30 years ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wreck_of_the_Titan%3A_Or%2C_Futility?wprov=sfla1
The novel that was published 17 years before the Titanic sank, about a ship that sank, named Titan. The details are creepily accurate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1775%E2%80%931795_in_Western_fashion?wprov=sfla1
1775 - 1795 Western fashion, aka Marie Antoinette dominating & influencing the whole scene. It seems everything she did became a new trend and she had the eye for it too. Cool read if you're into fashion history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerton_Man?wprov=sfla1
Somerton Man, a death surrounded by mystery. There are some recent findings about the mans identity, still fun to read.
I can't pick one thing and my idea of entertainment might be slightly morbid so sue me.
Lemme know when you're done, I have some particles to accelerate. I know those damn scientists are lying to me.
I had a science book explaining bodily functions and all. They basically drew a bunch of tiny people operating the human body. Reproduction section was the same, which showed a male structure and female structure. I understood the mechanics but never really knew where this hole was in the body. That came in later.
Very small glass bottles. The smaller the better. Bonus points if it's an unusual shape. I have a lot of them and didn't even try hard, people around me see a small bottle and automatically bring it to me.
This is good shit
Nope, it'd be a great piece though! Do you?
I got an A52 just for that reason. Still using it. I wanted a S20 but they were sold out and I was told they stopped making it.
Oh yea! My collection started with those little alcohol bottles. They're so joyful! Unfortunately my ex threw them out when we broke up so I had to start all over. This time I decided to keep an open mind and accept all kind of bottles.
My pride is a vintage bottle of boonekamp. Found it in a flea market. The seller told me it was at least 50 year old. I also love old things so.. it cost me something like 2 bucks back then. It was open but had a little bit of alcohol left. The second is a extra small tabasco bottle, holds only 0.7 ml! That one is sealed.
I don't have a standard really, if it's something enjoyable then it's long gone. Jack Daniels & absolut, grey goose bottles all emptied during weak moments lol. If it's something like a herb oil or tabasco I keep it sealed. I appreciate the bottle more than what's inside anyways so.
Do you keep yours sealed? Got a favourite one?
I think I know what you mean. I've never seen a miniature wine bottle, let alone one with its own basket. Sounds super cool. So cool that I'll try to buy one online. Thanks for that!

There is nothing holding you back from being educated on the matter and making those observations yourself
Hellsing intro
I think that's fair. Next step is to have a conversation about it, without going into the blame game. It is possible that your partner has a wildly different story and point of view.
it is weird how people say that getting a lot of money, the thing whole world is based on, all humans work every day to get, is the worst thing that happened to them.
Shakespeare - shot by someone who was trying to get his money
David Lee Edwards - was a convict, spent a lot in several years, lost all his money and died.
Jeffree Dampier: was sleeping with his wife's sister, shot and killed by her and her husband.
Urooj Khan: coughs blood and dies the next day of getting his check. Cyanide poisoning.
Michael Karoll: "parties, coke, hookers, cars"
Harrell Jr: spent too much, lent too much, killed himself after his wife left him.
Stories go on and on. Almost all of them can be linked to already unstable, unwell people, their inability to manage the money properly or them not shutting up about the huge cash pile they recently sat on, to the trashy, money crazed people around them.
I just found out she converted to islam after her departure. I've been thinking about this.
It is easy to believe a religion is "the good one" when it's under represented because the members of the religion don't really have the power over the society so they don't, or can't, hold other people down with their extremist ideals.
When I first left islam I went through something similar. Here majority is muslim and other religions are scarce. So christians seemed like peaceful modern people minding their own business, respecting women and stuff. Which they were. But as I learned about the church and bible and all that, I understood I failed to analyze the religion as a whole properly. I just looked into a very small window and thought that was the whole thing.
Christianity was the antithesis of islam for me for a while. It's the same with the artists and rich white folks who convert to islam. They get new eccentic sounding names and their melodies change. But they never really live in a real muslim community nor they experience a VERY oppressive muslim culture. They get this image of a religion where you casually cover your head if you want to and nobody cares about anything other than inner peace. Which is cool but far, far from any kind of reality.
