I should have put that in quotes to avoid confusion. I'll edit :)

I've known (or dated) a few conservative men who refused to get vasectomies because they "lower testosterone". And, of course that means they're less of a man (to themselves and others who think that way).

The parents won't be the ones parenting, they'll be working. The grandparents and great grandparents will be parenting

I've tried ket twice, and the first time was unforgettable. I remember feeling so incredibly alone, even though I was at the biggest party I think I've been to. I need that interconnection you get from the other ones like lsd or mdma.

That whole paragraph is probably a commentary on my life lol

Psychedelics were instrumental in keeping me alive after the events that caused my ptsd in the military. But I really don't think it was just the drugs, I think it was also that using the drugs usually meant being in a "safe" place. There are people who will try to abuse you under the influence of the drugs, but they aren't (usually) welcome in the groups. I would give one or both of my arms to be able to go back to that time and place, but like the article brings up, I need some medication to keep me going that interacts with most of my psychedelic choices. (also, of all of them ket would be my last choice. I never understood why it's so popular lol)

When trying to identify a plant, its characteristics are what you go by. This page has some that you can use for this plant, though you'll need a dissecting microscope most likely for some things, like stamens (the things that have pollen).

I completely forgot about this until I read your comment. My grandmother whole-heartedly believed Biden was a clone or had been replaced by a doppelganger by the middle of his first year as President, and that he had died of covid. By then she had stopped watching FOX and moved on to OANN.

I feel like ssdi or ssi are only "okay" if you live with family. I'm a single adult with no relatives, and the 1k/month(ish) I get isnt even enough to cover renting an apartment where I live. Even if I lived with family for free, that 1k/month wouldn't be enough to pay for the things I need that are directly associated with my disabilities (doctor visits, travel, assistive devices, a maid or property manager, my service dog and her needs, etc.).

There was a study recently that showed support for assisted dying is higher among poor populations. No shit, we can't afford to live, and we can't afford to die from our issues either lol

What good is a woman if she won't obey your will in a vote? /s

I'm not in retail anymore, and I never did clothing retail, but working in theater costuming has really changed my ideas. Like, I know I am fat because at my height and weight my bmi puts me well in obese territory. But measuring people a few inches taller has put an interesting spin in my head. I know someone with the same bust size who is three inches taller and now I understand why some "large" sizes will fit both of us even though by size my cup is several sizes larger than her.

People have been telling me for years that I'm "not fat". I know they are delusional because of the numbers, but seeing other people with similar measurements does actually put it into perspective.

I took a philosophy class in college with a really interesting concept. We read a book about philosophies around the world, then choose one and created a d&d character from what we learned and researched on a specific philosophy. It was pretty chaotic to play d&d at the end, but it was such a great way to learn the real world applications of various philosophies.

It's a classification of obese. Class 1 obesity is >30 bmi, and each class of obese is in increments of 5. >40 bmi is class three, aka morbidly obese
