I have a celiac diagnosis now, but I had to diagnose myself online and fight to get tested. I don't judge people who try to figure out their own healthcare because the system is happy to abandon them.

I think they just look like that sometimes. I found a lot of images of tigers with significant definition until finding one I could identify.

This is Luca, and his profile doesn't say anything about a medical condition.

You can see videos of the cats here:

I think the lighting angle might be doing a lot of the work in the OP image.

e: I actually just want to share some tiger pictures because I like them.

Yup. Here's a neat visual and more info on the page where I found it:

The ocean is quite literally lousy with sea lice. They've even got rolly-pollies down there.

Seems they're adding games and some kind of AI TikTok to the service.

It's not necessarily role play of assault, though it can be that. It can also mean that blanket consent has been given ahead of time, and so the subject is unaware of what may happen to them or when, and by the nature of it can't give specific consent for any particular action. It can have to do with pushing/exploring boundaries, a power dynamic kink, or just enjoying the element of surprise, among others.

If you're doing it right, consent can be withdrawn at any time via a pre-established non-verbal signal and/or safeword, and any bondage equipment will have safety releases.

e: In case it's unclear, I just mean that the definition is more broad than that. I don't think there's anything wrong with role-playing assault.

I'm sorry, spider, but it's this or the mercy of the cats.

The inexorable rise of identity condiments has led to hard times for the most American of foodstuffs. And that’s a shame.

My son Jake, who’s 25, eats mayo. He’s a practical young man who works in computers and adores macaroni salad. He’s a good son. I also have a daughter. She was a women’s and gender studies major in college. Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise.

newer generations are refusing to meekly fall in line with a culinary heritage that never was theirs. Instead, they’re gobbling up kefir and ajvar and chimichurri and gochujang again.

Red Robin launched a vegan burger. You don’t put mayo on a vegan burger.

McDonald’s has debuted a Signature Sriracha Burger, joining KFC, Wendy’s, and Subway in signing on to the sizzling Thai sauce’s moment in the sun. You didn’t see Huy Fong Foods start a schmear campaign against the cultural appropriation of that.

Some experts say the dislike springs from the fact that mayo jiggles. [...] This is bullshit. This attitude comes to you from young people who willingly slurp down eight kazillion kinds of yogurt, not to mention raw fish and pork belly and, yo, detergent pods, so don’t talk to me about mayonnaise. The only reason for this raging mayophobia is a generation’s gut-level renouncement of the Greatest Generation’s condiment of choice.

Besides, I’ve got news: That aioli you’re all so fond of? I hate to break it to you, but that’s just mayonnaise.

Sandy Hingston sounds mad.

Also what? Mayo is still super popular, so what is she even on about? Is she hamming this up because she feels like this is what's necessary to make it in journalism these days?

How the shit am I funding criminal activity when I don't pay them anything?

That name is a big part what's kept me from getting help, because until very recently I drastically misunderstood what ADHD was. "I can't have this thing. I'm so good at paying attention that I don't eat or pee all day."

We were all really jazzed about that healthcare CEO getting killed, and then when they arrested Luigi my coworker was like, "He was quite privileged, you know," like we aren't allowed to like the guy anymore.

Genetic evidence suggests that carnivory developed by co-opting and repurposing existing genes which had established functions in flowering plants
