This is a good move. So many people buy thi shit thinking its just like psylocybin. I actually had to tell mom to stop buying them.

As someone from mn (where walz has been governor for a while now) I can assure you that he's awesome. The only thing that concerns me about him is that hes been awfully quiet about Israel's genocide so I don't really know where he stands on that. Otherwise though he's amazing.

He owns no stocks and no real assets to speak of. He lives exclusively in the govenors house and is relying on his state pension for retirement. He has passed legislation enshrining abortion rights in mn, blocking corporations from buying single family homes, providing free school lunches to all students, and funding college access for everyone state wide. In his free time he likes hunting, fishing, and working on his old 1979 International Harvester Scout Truck. When he fucked up durring his response to the George Floyd protests he immediately admited that he fucked up and vowed to do better next time. Durring covid he repeatedly chewed people out on both sides of the aisle for politicizing the pandemic while enacting common sense laws about it. Honestly I can't think of a single thing he has done that I disagree with other than his response to the George Floyd protest which even he admits was wrong.

I am rabbid for this man. He would be a damn nice president. My only regret would be that if he became president then he wouldn't be my state govenor any more.

Maybe we should try running women who aren't republican lite before we say that the issue is just that they're women.

Didn't she run basically the most well funded campaign ever? How is there still campaign debt?

Tim Walz? I mean, he's another old white man but he is fairly progressive and he won't quite be at retirement age yet by next election. Plus people loved him and what he had to say before the Harris campaign started muzzling him.

This is one of those philosophical questions that have no "correct" answer but heres my take on it. Also sorry, this turned into an essay but I was on a roll

The main thing is that having a child isn't something the parents do for the child. You can't do anything for a child that doesn't exist. Having a child is something parents do for themselves; they want a child so they have a child. Plus an unborn child can't possibly consent to being born. Put those two things together and you have two people doing something that they want to do for their own benefit which fundamentally changes the state of being of another person who can't possibly consent to it.

When you have a child you are also taking a gamble on how their life will turn out without consulting them. They could wind up being the happiest person in the world who lives a full perfectly fulfilled life. Or they could wind up absolutely miserable for the rest of their life wishing that they have never been born. Both of those things are largely up to random chance.

For example my brother in law was born to a homeless single heroin addict and grew up on the street even after his mom died. He is now a professional engineer with a doting wife, a loving family, and a large house with a white picket fence in a fairly nice neighborhood. He now literally lives the steriotypical american dream except he has a cat instead of a dog. Sure he worked for all of that but even he will tell you that it also just required a lot of luck. Meanwhile my foster brother was born to a happy, healthy, loving, and even relatively wealthy family but due to a freak illness when he was barely a toddler he now has next to no motor function. He can only slightly move one eye and eyelid but even that is taxing for him. He can kind of control a tablet with eye tracking for brief periods of time before it exhausts him and he likes to wink at people to say "hi" but that is the extent of agency he has in the world. He will almost certainly be like that for the rest of his life.

When you have a child you are taking that chance without consulting them. Some people see the chance of their child living a good life as being worth the risk, which is a perfectly acceptable opinion to have. Don't take this as me saying people need to be ashamed of having children. Like I said, there is no correct answer here. Other people (myself included) see it as unethical to take that risk for someone who can't consent to it. I obviously lean that way due to personal experience. I also don't see much point in creating more children when there is even one child that doesn't have a happy home. My genes aren't anything special, why make a new child when I could even possibly help an existing child have a better life.

Weird, you need to find yourself a new doctor. I got mine at 23 and the first time I ever spoke to any doctor that seemed like they were against it was actually only a few months ago, I'm 28 now. Even then they didn't really seem like they were against it so much as they didn't seem to understand why anyone would want one so young.

When I first asked my gen prac about getting snipped he said it was a little unusual for someone as young as me but he said that while actively putting in the referal so it isn't like he was trying to talk me out of it. At the urologist he just asked the standard quick questions of "you understand that it is permanent?" And " you're sure?". Then he put me on a table and got to work.

As a humerous side note, there is one thing I didn't like about getting mine done so young. My urologist (and likely urologists in general) are used to performing vasectomies on much older guys who have a fair bit more scrotal droop to work with. Young perky me didn't have that much droop. It also didn't help that the sterilizing wash the sadists used was ice cold and the room where it was done was freezing. So my poor frozen bits were trying to ascend to party with my tonsils meanwhile this doctor was pulling on them like they were excalibur and he was itching to be crowned king of england just to try and get some slack to work with. Definitely did not enjoy that part. Still worth it though.

You say that, but my sister was 7 months pregnant before it finally occured to her thatvshe might be pregnant. She said that she thought she was just getting fat. She had 2 other kids before that.

My mom works in labor and delivery and there are a concerning number of people who show up to the hospital actively in labor who insist that there is no possible way that they're pregnant.

Sex ed is real fucking bad in some areas.

It's also my retirement plan! Good ol' 40~~9mm~~1k

Jesus Crist! I get wanting to overkill serving yourself a Kurt Cobain breakfast special, but where the hell did you even find a 409mm gun? Do you own a battleship?

Latuda is a tricky one, with it being an atypical antipsychotic there aren't any easy drugs to compare it to. Also part of what is going to effect things is what you're taking it for. For example, I have a family history of schizophrenia and I know that all of the drugs you mentioned tend to make those symptoms worse. So if you're taking it for that then it may be best to refrain from taking any psychedelics. However when it comes to bipolar disorder that is usually much less of an issue. So if you're taking it for that then you may be fine. There's a lot of variables at play.

Just looking arroud, for most people, it looks like Latuda kills all the effects of weed, shrooms, and DMT but LSD still works normally. So far I haven't seen any reports of severe negative reactions with any of those but with this being a more uncommon drug that doesn't necissarily mean much.

Honestly try just talking to your psychiatrist. They know your exact situation with your diagnosis and med list. A good psychiatrist should be focused on harm reduction and not judgment. Most psychiatrists know their patients do other drugs anyways and would actually just prefer to know which ones so they can help them do so safely and so that they know not to put their patient on a med that has major interactions with those drugs. If you tell them and they're at all good at their job then odds are they will tell you that taking any drugs with your medication is a bad idea, because they're practically required to say that. But then they should be able to tell you how to do your drug of choice safely. Just recently I spoke with my psychiatrist about going off of one of my meds because I wanted to be able to do shrooms again and they were super helpful. They took me off that med and pointed out that another med I'm on would also interact with shrooms but I could just not take that med on any day I planned to do shrooms. But of course you are going to know your psychiatrist better than any of us so if your psychiatrist is not that kind of person then you may just be stuck rummaging around the internet for scraps of info.
