I was thinking that if ~1 in 50 people are psychopaths does that mean we are evolving to be less emotional? Are we the proto emotionless aliens who invade Earth in sci-fi novels? Or are we evolving to be more emotional? Or am I reading too much into this? PS this was one of those thoughts I had as I was falling asleep and sounded way more profound

I don't think there are more sociopaths or psychopaths over the years, but perhaps we're now living in a society where sociopathy has less and less a function, and is looked down upon more and maybe also considered more dangerous. I don't know if we are getting more emotional as a society, but I think, when primal needs are fulfilled, like having food, a house, no wars to fight, there's more room or even need for 'softer', more emotional people, and less for psychopathic people

You always bring such an interesting take on my random thoughts! I really like this idea. It makes so much sense.

Thank you, that is such a sweet thing to say :)
These things do occupy my thoughts sometimes. I like to think of different personality traits and structures as a Gausse curve, shifting over time to the left or right as society needs or demands. And I always like discussing these things with other people, with different thoughts or new interesting angles on this topic.

That's exciting about HCGS being around more, but I totally feel you on the space-sharing reluctance. :)

Best of luck on your goals this month!

Thank you!

I've grown so accustomed to being able to go to the bathroom with the door open whenever I want to, you know?

Best of luck with the cohabitation and sleeping! Hopefully your minimalism will make cohabitation as joyous and harmonious as possible.

Also, congrats on getting your seasonal wardrobe down. I must thank you for telling me about liketwice! I got three gorgeous and perfectly fitting silk shirts from there and I'm stoked to replace some older tops that no longer fit.

I hope so!

And you're welcome! I am glad you signed up. I didn't get a notice that you'd used my referral link. Did you get your $10 off?

[frnklymrshnkly]

I did use your link, but I don't think it worked for whatever reason. I did get a good discount on my first order though :)

No worries, lady!

I'm really stoked that I've gotten another person on the online thrift store thing. I think it's so cool.

It's so genius! I can't believe It took me so long to learn about it.
