I wonder how many people in these comments love an artist that someone else finds objectionable / harmful because they just don't personally empathize with the people their fav has marginalized.

...and like every single one of the moms is convinced they can outpace the curse half. But like half of the kids come out as straight axe murdering psychopaths. Like the mom wishes for the kid to be a math prodigy or whatever and they decide to lower the grocery bill by murdering all their siblings.

And there's one kid that doesn't come out murderous but he does keep setting shit on fire accidentally. He's horribly distressed because it's all completely accidental and no one believes him. Winds up in the hospital cuz he can't take it anymore. Finally turns out he just has to be in the water all the time. His mom wished for him to be an Olympic athlete and he came out an Olympic swimmer not even because it made him good at it but because he couldn't leave the water. The curse literally left his guilt in by design.

Also it turns out his mother was the only person to actually pass her trial. Like they all have to do something like not eat for a month and they all snuck in a cheat meal or whatever because somehow they thought the curse wouldn't "catch them" or something. Hers was literally to sit 100% alone in a 100% featureless concrete underground room in a chair for three days and not even touch the floor and she actually legit did it. Like she overdid it and accidentally did four days because there was no clock like she had to guess when she could come out and she wanted to be sure.

This fever dream is brought to you by me running out of clonidine. You're welcome.

Op if you can swing ~30 pick up a drug test at the drugstore while you're there. It's a benzodiazepine, for future reference.

From another comment of mine on a similar post:

ADHD protip: commit to only setting up the digital workspace as soon as you get the assignment. Set up a cloud storage folder with google drive or one drive or whatever you use with:

  • a copy of the assignment outline
  • an empty document in the paper format, complete with title and reference pages
  • a folder for reference PDFs or diagrams or quotes or whatever

Not only have I written numerous fabulously scoring assignments on my phone while taking horrifying IBS shits but also–

–one time I set this up for a group project and sent the folder out to the members. A few days later I logged in and one of the other members who also had ADHD had basically completed the entire assignment. Cannot say whether she was shitting while writing it but it's certainly not impossible. A day after that another group member edited it and it was ready for submission five days ahead of schedule.

The neurochemistry isn't actually averse to work, you just gotta catch it at the right angle.

Hubs gets annoyed sometimes by my attention seeking hypersexuality. He's fond of this bit:

"some men die of thirst while others drown"

I mean during COVID as a nurse I paid for my neighbor's groceries in exchange for meal prep (they were single with no kids so it was still cheaper than getting takeout all the time) but that's a highly personal deal to cut. Incidentally though I told one of my coworkers about the deal and they were like "wait my neighbor has kids but I could probably still net positive on like half their groceries..." There were some good human moments during that time. I also promoted that neighbor who cooked for me to husband but that's a different story.

The funniest part of this video for me is that one of my neighbors growing up did in fact get arrested for breeding illegal reptiles.

According to the FDA melatonin tablets are food and bupropion doesn't work for smoking cessation as Wellbutrin, you gotta shell out for Zyban specifically.

You can do it too much. Had an ex fuck up his nerve endings with deathgrip bad enough he couldn't get off in me. Nobody's had trouble before or after so.

¯ \_(ツ)_/¯

but the solution is just do it less and grip less hard.

I also find that while we haven't got to needing to schedule sex yet, hubs and I do have to coordinate when we masturbate to get the best odds of mutual orgasm. His sweet spot seems to be 24-36h. Mine is technically as long as possible but if I try to wait more than a week I start having really surreal wet dreams about lizard people and people I haven't met in over a decade and it resets my refractory period to sometime next millennia.

Fun fact: it's also good for migraines and depression! While it's often used in an invalidating manner, it's true that frowning too much does have at least a small effect on your mood. No frown = no sad is literally the mechanism of action as far as researchers are able to tell so far.

You could run a local instance for a school or whatever and initially let the kids only talk to each other then slowly let them out to access a list of safe instances as they get older and learn more about internet safety. Might teach a healthier relationship with the internet.

I find libertarians to be a very mixed bag. Their biggest issue is usually not understanding how much power they've been given, and what it would actually take to return that power to people who have historically not had much. I would think that a black man would have better context.

He says "that's not why I sent you that; I didn't even think about that until you said something!"

It's the end of the second season. Idk if the decision to air an mpreg episode was made before or after the series cancelation decision but it's definitely A Decision either way. Whether you watch it or not I feel like more people should know it existed.

So I've really been enjoying a lot of cheap jewelry on my days off and I really liked these slip-on false nails (it's actually a really fun stim like putting bugles on your fingers and clickety clacking them and tapping them on things) but they keep popping off the metal tabs on the rings and sometimes they're a lil uncomfy so I was trying to find little foam discs to put on the underside of the nails over the metal tab part of the rings that they're superglued to for extra structure and comfort but I can't find any small and thin enough. These ones are kinda small enough but they're still about 2x too thick and all my attempts to trim / thin them have gone poorly. The diameter isn't an issue that's easy enough to trim down but I need thinner ones (and without glitter, a bunch of them are craft supplies with glitter which would be very messy and scratchy). Any thoughts? Here's some reference pics with what I have now and the thumb and pinky nails for scale.

I'm very excited to switch when I can microblog to my own profile!

I'm rewatching inuyasha and have no one to talk to about the fact that Kagura should have lived and by doing so the entire Sessh/Rin weirdness could have been completely avoided. Like I have trouble picturing Kagura pregnant but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen and half the time in fairy tales of all locales the kids pop out of the dad's migraine or some shit and honestly they'd also make amazing godparents (or whatever the equivalent is) to a half dozen adopted mortals and their bloodlines. I'm mad about it and commenting on ao3 fics for this fandom is like screaming into the void.

Is it a visual pun???
