That and the online communities themselves. If you’re not kid friendly say so plainly and don’t make it easy for them to get in / stay in if they get caught. If you as a parent don’t take any initiative from there to keep your kids away from those places that’s on you.

Gym doesn’t help the weight issue. You gain weight in the gym, you lose it in the kitchen.

And Karen repeatedly murdered all of the foster children she adopted over that six year timeframe by skinning them and feeding them to the local geese. Her neighbor began noticing about 2 years in that the children would all go missing within weeks of arrival. Over the next 4 years this neighbor filed multiple complaints with the police, CPS, and the foster care agency, but all of them just said the children probably ran away. It turned out this was because Karen’s grand-step-aunt twice removed was head of the city hall floral arrangement sub-comittee…

Fun fact I learned waaay too late in my nursing career: if a patient has lost or damaged their amplifying hearing aid, you can put a stethoscope in their ears and talk into the bell.
None of you will ever use this but I share it with everyone now because it’s really neat.

Dude sometimes we still give thorazine. For context also though, I’m essentially providing ICU level care, so when you say the word “symptom control” it’s often referring to like, fists. We had a Lady maxxed on Haldol one time and she managed to cheek for a week and eventually she just hauled off and rapid fire punched a nurse in the head three times. I’m unsure if you don’t work inpatient psychiatry or you just work somewhere significantly classier than I do.

To the extent that men can lactate! It’s one of the possible side effects of risperdal, which I have to be aware of because I give it fairly regularly.

Nah. Weirdly enough it was the character with the arthropod features I was investigating the concept for but now I wonder if I should’ve done that for the illithid so I might look into that. It was important for the other character because the actual arthropod features (wings) are missing by the time of the story so it was going to be one of the “hints” that they had her labeled as the wrong species but first of all it just didn’t fit creatively, it was much too overt to the extent it didn’t even make logical sense for the mixup to happen but also as you see here the science doesn’t follow either it’s only spiders and the like that have it.

I knew about the hemocyanin because I was trying to figure out if one of the characters in my tentacle porn should have blue blood but decided against it. Cool to learn about the others too though.

It’s not gross because he’s not wearing gloves, it’s gross because he probably never washes his hands after digging in his ass all day.

When in Rome do as the Romans do. In highschool I wrote an abortion focused “Modest Proposal” suggesting that men be forced to donate anatomical gifts (blood, skin, organs, etc) to their progeny to equalize the physical labor of men and women in procreation. The increased gravity of such a gift is balanced by the lower liklihood of its necessity. I came at it from every angle and took the argument to its most exaggeratedly ridiculous extent; Swift would’ve been proud.

God also gave men prostates capable of stimulating them to climax and what could be more beautiful than a man getting railed up the ass?
- Comment on Researchers achieve first successful communication between dreaming individuals 5 weeks ago:
It also helps to start doing reality checks while awake such that they become habitual enough to occur while dreaming. You want to specifically check things that tend to be vulnerable to dream logic like clocks or books because they’ll often change if you look away and check / read them a second time.

If it’s new shortness of breath or chest pain , particularly the crushing variety that feels like something is sitting on you, do not pass go, do not collect money, straight to the ER. Same goes for sudden severe lower back or abdominal pain or sudden heavy bleeding out of your orifices (more than a super maxi-pad full every two hours if you’ve got that genital configuration). There’s a few other little things like a continuous erection more than 4 hours. Also you should learn the signs of a stroke (Google “stroke” FAST). If you’re not sure, look up the local ERs number (not 911) and ask for the “triage nurse” and ask them.
If it’s been going on / steadily getting worse for over a month it can (probably) wait one more week if that’s all it will take to see your primary care physician or see a specialist.
If it’s sudden but you know exactly what you did like if you pulled a muscle or sprained a joint at work or cut or burned your arm while cooking (I specify arm, if you cut or burn your hand, face, genitals, or foot, measure how big it is and call that triage nurse) or if you forgot to pee after sex or did it with somebody sketchy and now it hurts to pee, go to the urgent care. Or if your petri dish of a preschooler brought home something and you’re not sure if it’s strep but you almost definitely need a note for work. Or if you have an old cut but now it’s looking puffy and oozing weird liquids (but it’s still localized to that one little area, you don’t have a fever or anything). If you can look at it and already have a general laymans idea of what they’re gonna do to it, go to the urgent care.

And honestly I think I’ve gotten more out of the spiritual ritual aspect too than meditating or anything more technical / modern. It almost feels like my brain is just better geared to process information in that format and doing the technical stuff was like trying to run code through an emulator / compatibility layer. I can do it well enough, but it’s much easier, more efficient, and stable to just run the program natively.
