Fair enough, my experience isn’t universal. I just would rather die than ask someone at target to unlock a sex toy for me. But that’s my issue.

Hmm I’m not sure that’s correct. I’ve always been taught to not use oils with silicone at all, or any kind of latex or poly condom. Here’s a quote and an unscientific link. Happy to be proven wrong, would love to use coconut oil with my silicone toys. I don’t think it’s advised.

“Over time, oils can break down silicone toys, leaving them tacky or worn. If you love the feel of coconut oil, it’s best to use it with non-silicone toys to keep everything in good shape.”

Just remember to use a water based lube, not an oil bases lube, if your toys are silicone. IMO coconut oil is the best lube for anal, but not if you’re using a silicone toy.

Also y’all are crazy if you’re buying sex toys at cvs, just go to an adult shop, it’s cheaper, better variety, and everyone knows exactly what you’re there for.

My dad has one on his arm and my mom has one on her butt. My dad says his sister’s is on her butt too, and that they did boys on the arm and girls on the butt. He didn’t know why, and I don’t either, or even if that was widely practiced, but my parents didn’t grow up in the same state/area, so it tracks a little, since my aunt and mom both have it. My dad’s youngest brother is 15 years younger than him, and didn’t get the shot. Kinda related- I had chicken pox that I got from a pox party, and then I gave a bunch of kids chicken pox at my own pox party. My cousin is less than 4 years younger than me and got the chicken pox vaccine and never had chicken pox.

This is the white bear episode of black mirror in real life.

I thought brain rot was like… skibiddy toilet 67 Ohio. This is just a regular idiot that doesnt understand how perspective works.

I smoked a bible joint once, it’s still a lot of paper hahs

Where are you experiencing no free narcan? At my college campus there are open cupboards all over the place full of them that say “carry narcan, just in case”. I have one in my car and one at my workstation, just in case, even tho I don’t know anyone that uses right now. I asked my mom to put one in her car and she said “I’ve already got two, just in case.”

I’ll grab a few next week and send them to you. Seriously. DM me an address. I’ve taken a bunch and given them to people just to have, just in case. The school/state/someone keeps restocking them.

I’m skeptical about the phrasing “engaged in prostitution”, I think the beastiality bit is a smokescreen to distract from that part. I don’t think the fbi has had to turn down a lot of former hookers, I think they’ve had to turn down lot of men who have “engaged with prostitutes” from the other end of the transaction. They are removing this restriction so they can hire more sexual predators.

(inb4 “not all men who hire prostitutes are sexual predators”. I know. I’m a sex worker. The ones Donald Trump and Kash Patel want to hire are going to be sexual predators).

I’ve been a vegetarian for 27 years and you make me want to eat a hamburger. There’s some great advice in this thread about how to begin transitioning to veganism.

And then there’s you.

Those are sockeye salmon at the mature stage of their life. They are also called “red salmon”.

Edit: I reread your comment and now understand that you are talking abt the color, not the fish. My bad.

Yes of course, all of these responses are great points and I fully agree. I was being cynical and making commentary about how those labels started showing up when gluten free started being a trend, when people were treating it more like a fad diet with “cheat days” rather than a serious medical situation. But it is wild how uninformative food labels are. I’ve been vegetarian for 23 years and I’m well aware of how often animal products turn up somewhere unexpected.

I think it means “count” like “18 ct” means “18 count” means there are 18 cookies in the package

It’s like when oatmeal or potato chips are labeled as gluten free. Of course they are, there’s no gluten in oats or potatoes, but gluten free is good marketing.

the Hey Arnold! episode where they go see the opera Carmen lives rent free in my head.

There was a website i used in college (2010s) called “Written? Kitten!”. Every 100 words of writing in the text box on the left side of the screen would earn a new picture of a kitten on the right side of the screen. Hand to god that website saved my ADHD ass, I wrote a 10 page paper in 3 hours, 100 words/1 kitten/1 dopamine hit at a time. If a teacher had ever looked at my edit history, it would probably look very odd because it would be in 100 and 200 word block chunks for the whole thing.

If my father’s sister outlives him, I will not allow her to come to his funeral. I might even spit in her stupid bitch face. If she dies first, I will not attend hers, even if he begs me to, but I’ll go piss on her grave while the dirt is fresh.

I’m guessing the people in this thread calling similar feelings “petty” or “insane” just don’t have the same level of trauma.

My father would want his sister at his funeral, and wants us to reconcile. I know she will behave selfishly and be rude to/about my mother, and I will not tolerate it, and therefore will not honor his wishes. I support you and your mother in not allowing your father’s sisters to attend, however you just need to be aware that the optics will be bad and people will talk shit. But it won’t matter, b/c I’m assuming you’re like me and the only reason you even acknowledge your aunts exist is for your father’s sake. Once he’s passed, you have every right to tell them to fuck right the fuck off.

Love you. Wishing you and your family (the family of your choice!) ease and softness.

I want construction to stop and I don’t want my taxes to get used to fix it. I don’t care about the “historic east wing” that was demolished. I don’t care if tourists or rich politicians have an eyesore. Put a tarp over it, fill a pothole, fix a bridge, feed some kids. I want healthcare. I want this to be a permanent scar on the Whitehouse. Not one dime of public money can go towards fixing it until everyone has a roof over their head and a full belly.

I’m beyond wishing for justice. Why won’t he just drop fucking dead. It would almost be justice if he died from a temper tantrum induced heart attack.

Fascinating, cool to know, thank you. I will ask about it next time i donate.

Interesting. Thank you for googling for me, I guess I could have done that. I’ll probably google a bit more and maybe add the info here just for infos sake, because this seems to be referring just to ab- and I’m ab+

Personally, I’ve never been pregnant, but it sounds like the antibodies might still be present even before pregnancy.

The bloodmobile/bank where i donate is ALWAYS desperate for blood, and I’ve never read or heard anything about this exclusion in my 17 years of donating, the only time I’ve ever been turned away is for low iron.
