That’s so.. limiting..

I’m in a swing state and can choose to vote for any single party in the primary. Just one. You can declare a party by filling a bubble on your ballot, so if you accidentally vote somewhere you don’t mean to it doesn’t count (the list is big), and if you don’t do that and vote in more than one none count, but if one party is locked in due to incumbent or something, I can vote for the least bad option in the opposing side. I’m not locked in to anything, and I think I’m still registered as a dem from so so many years ago.

Everyone should have that and it’s so weird that we let states decide that sort of thing.

These are awesome!

I also dream of the space to be free and just exist. And doing so in a better, happier, healthier, more accepting world.

I want to contribute my share through time spent locally improving things, not working for a company, but I want it to be less time, and optional, and less gatekept.

I had a puppy that specifically ate the crotch of all my underpants in the laundry. She was pooping out ladybugs and tye dye for days.

Is that true, and if so do you have a source for it?

You can also (and I recommend this anyway if you have anxiety) buy hemp legally in most places, sold as a cbd flower (you can probably also buy it online in most places), and mix it with the weed.

The higher cbd content helps to offset the super high thc levels of modern weed. Gives you a much more pleasant less anxious experience.

He leaves the change as a tip.

I did this in my car by accident multiple times way back in the day (like 2004). Stop for food after work, eat the fries and forget about the burger, which gets buried under stuff (I keep my car generally cleaner these days; I was a teen). It dries out completely with no actual change in appearance, smell, nothing but turning rock hard. Gross.

Needless to say, I haven’t eaten there in almost 20 years, other than an occasional fries on a road trip when that’s all there is.

Is it just me or does your average rpg today seem just.. easier overall than they used to be? I feel that’s where a lot of this problem comes from for me, because I’m always expecting it to get hard and it doesn’t. (😏)

There’s a few games here and there where dying happens a lot and consumables and constant gear upgrades are very needed, but the majority of them you don’t need most of the consumables or gear you get anyway. They feel like dopamine hit filler content.

Like I’m playing biomutant right now, and there’s a lot of consumables (and so so so much mostly junk gear) to loot throughout the game.. but there’s also a heal ability that you can unlock and use on a timer, plus health refills outside of combat, so now that my weapons and armor are a lot stronger, even tho the enemies scale with you, it’s been dozens of hours of active play since I’ve used a consumable of any variety, and there’s at least half the game to go. And this has been a fairly consistent experience in games this decade or so, maybe longer even. I’m not a great gamer; I’m too lazy to learn to block or parry in any game, ever, and dodging is a maybe skill, only if it’s easy to perform.. so it’s not at all that I’ve gotten better or anything..

What do you think would be the most offensive thing to say to a bear? Or maybe there’s a hand gesture or something that’s really taboo?

I just want to be prepared in case I ever need to know.

The last time I got an iud inserted I specifically asked for better pain relief, as I’d previously had one inserted and it hurt like hell.

The woman told me “you don’t need that, it doesn’t hurt that bad”.

I was like look, I very recently had my uterus inflated with saline to check it over, and I vividly remember how much that hurt (it was horrific, 0/5 stars, do not recommend) so yeah I do want pain relief.. whether you think I should need it or not.

She told me to take Tylenol or ibuprofen. Like thanks, super helpful.. I didn’t have options for other gynos, so I sucked it up.

I’m really glad this is being taken more seriously because holy shit are doctors out of fucking touch.

Well now I’ve got the banana song stuck in my head.. (from memory so if I got any wrong, too bad)

Charlie, you look quite down, with your big sad eyes and your big fat frown, the world doesn’t have to be so gray.

Charlie, when your life’s a mess; when you’re feeling blue, always in distress, I know what will wash your sad away.

All you have to do is put a banana in your ear, you will never be happy if you live your life in fear.

It’s true, so true, when it’s in the world is bright and clear, the bad in the world is hard to hear when in your ear a banana cheers, so go and stick a banana in your ear!

ETA: video, cuz then I had to go listen to it anyway. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EqwYzi_IG6k
