Helen O'Connell. The first person to truly get an accurate representation of the full organ (in humans), two thousand and fucking five. She started her research in the 90's. If you're ever wondering if the medical system is biased towards men, there you go. If you've seem an image of the full structure of the organ looking this:

That was Helen O'Connell. I stole that pic from here: https://tecscience.tec.mx/en/health/clitoris/

Trucking is so funny. There is an adversarial relationship between the drivers and the office, which you can see in this comment.

The industry is trying to solve safety issues caused by the nature of long haul driving and maintenance of profit in logistics by companies that use their services.

Trucking used to be a way a person could provide for their family, remain independent, and feel in control. Now, trucking is an industry where you are trapped in a moving computer designed primarily to reduce the insurance rates of the company that employs them, because their business practices and demands were so dangerous, individuals truckers had to drive more hours, get paid less for those hours, and literally drive themselves, and other motorists around them when they crashed, to death.

Then they blame the truckers as they race to bottom in hiring. Don't even get me started on nafta. Your industry sucks for the employees who are necessary to keep the economy moving.

I was actually just responding to your "well actually". That's funny!

Nightcrawler didn't get his powers in utero (although his physical mutation exists since birth, but was just as much related to his parentage), but he's literally one of the only mutants to have been famous for his fully active mutant power as a child.

I would "akshualy" be remiss in not mentioning that physical and mental stress activates almost as many mutants as puberty!

Both professor x and his sister had their powers in utero. Nightcrawler famously developed his powers pre-puberty, he was zipping around both physically mutated (from birth) and his teleportation as a young child. Generally mutants develop powers at puberty, but that's just a rule of thumb.

All she has to do is tell me she's not going to fuck over consumers with regards to solar to protect regionally monopolistic power conglomerates who are literally killing people due to old equipment in wild fire corridors. Fuck Gavin Newsome.

They aren't your companions, you are exploiting them for companionship. These meat eating pets can't consent to a vegan diet, they are also not ethically required by their choice to not engage in the meat system.

That's your choice, you are forcing that choice on an animal that isn't getting anything from you they wouldn't get with a non-vegan pet owner, your love isn't special.

You could ethically choose to keep any number of naturally vegan animals. You selfishly choose to keep a cat or a dog cause you like them more.

Shit is messed up in my opinion and you buried the lead with your post. I'm glad other people were around to give context to this.

You have teachers in school with guns it's only gonna be a matter of time before you have new stats to play with.

Number of students killed or maimed by a teacher's gun during a fight or other altercation. Number of teachers and students killed by a student who gets a teacher's gun. Number of teachers who commit suicide using their service gun.

I'm not even using my hyperbole muscles, that's just what's gonna happen.

Raddix Zephyr is def the name of the protagonist in a JRPG.

Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides is for sure the Prince in an Isekai anime.

Ugh, I bought 100% alcohol by the gallon and made my own 70% disinfectant spray cause it was easier for me to source a full gallon of industrial alcohol than get a package of Clorox wipes.

I almost forgot that shit!

Native Americans had the term skin walker to denote animals in human form or vice versa.

There's the obvious explanation we accept, with almost no evidence that it was referring to witchcraft or shamanism. Maybe a rogue god.

But what if it's a way to dehuminize someone to make them easier to out-group. A person from another tribe, a person who's committed a grievous sin, like murder.

Is it describing a mythical creature, or the soullessness of the expression of a murderer. Or "rheumy eyes" of the sick. Something you need to desperately escape to keep your group whole.

Is sound proofing really still this bad in the distant future?

I'm sure this is as much an access question as a preference question!

I usually prefer either adding a bit of concentrate to the top of a bowl, maybe mixing it in after I heat it a bit. But I'm also a big fan of just dabbing in general, using a DTv5 or banger.

How many of you vapists are also dabbing? I'm rethinking the word vapists after typing it...
