Chalk, most likely.

I love fanfics exploring what-ifs of a work, and myself wrote two or three of those, but assumers immediately associate them with the lemons.

This is it for me, too. I'd wouldn't mind talking about some of the fanfics I've read, but you can't even mention fanfiction without people assuming you're essentially reading porn.

Only half of the Zodiacs are inspired from real animals. Gemini is two humans, Virgo is a virgin woman, Libra is a Weighing Scale, Sagittarius is a Centaur with a bow, Capricorn is a Sea Goat, and Aquarius is... a cup of water, I guess?

The fact humans are able to track them is how we know the zodiacs are no longer accurate. According to astrology if you were born on Dec. 1 for example, you're considered a Sagittarius... except you're ACTUALLY a Scorpio, due to the constellations shifting.

Eh, I don't get paid enough to care about peoples cars, I just want them in the corrals so it's easier to deal with them. I'll of course stop a cart from hitting a car if it was my fault it was about to happen, but if the wind pushes a loose cart that's between the car owners and god at that point. I drive a shitbox so I personally could not care less if a cart dings it.

Tell me you're from Hexbear without telling me you're from Hexbear.

I work retail, I occasionally have to push carts. The corral is good enough. Also frankly, even leaving the cart loose in the parking lot is better imo than the people who leave their carts inside the store right in front of the racks of carts, but don't actually rack it up(or even face it the right way to be racked up). As soon as even one person does it, everyone does it, and I have to waste fuck loads of time just clearing the entrances of loose carts.

As an occasional cart pusher, I'd absolutely agree when the weather is nice. Being able to chill for a second as I walk to get the straggling cart is nice. If it's raining or extremely cold/hot out tho, fuck anyone doing that; I wanna get as many carts in as I can as fast as I can.

Benadryl has been a brand in the US for decades longer than Cetirizine has even been in use, and they never changed the active ingredient when new antihistamines became available. Good thing too, cetirizine doesn't do shit for my allergies compared to DPH, and most other allergy med brands use cetirizine.

What about when you're in bed? Do you leave them in your previously worn pants and grab them in the morning, or do you put them in your clean pants the night before?

Do... do you hold them in your hands while sleeping? /s

It seems like a silly double standard for only one side to have a burden to prove their claim, but the other gets to claim the negation is true with no burden of proof.

Why is it silly that the claim originally presented should have to present evidence first? The counter-claim only has zero burden of proof so long as the original claim has failed to give any proof of their own.

For example, if you say "2+2 is 4" and my response is "NO IT IS NOT. IT IS 3! I REFUSE TO PROVE IT THOUGH", not only will I be wrong in a classical arithmetic sense but I have presented no argument for why you ought to believe my new counter claim to your original claim. It would make no sense to believe me without more info in such a case.

You wouldn't have to present an argument yet, at that stage. I'd think you're really dumb for needing something like that proven to you, but the initial burden of proof would still be on me. However, when I quickly and easily provide proof that 2 + 2 does equal 4, THEN the burden of proof falls to you to prove your counter-claim.
