Only works if you pair it with a good open-handed slap across the face. They don’t want you to know that anymore, because of woke.

(don’t make me /s this)

Ohhh I miss St Mark’s! It’s such a great area to go shopping and eating. I haven’t been there in over a decade, but I remember having a great time at a punk fashion shop.

I don’t think they did the street closing when I was there, it looks fantastic.

Not eating red meat is so fucking easy now. If I can be an old man who went to school uphill in the snow both ways for a second, I dropped meat 20ish years ago in the US deep south, and holy fuck talk about an impossible diet. Even the vegetables had meat in them, and that is not a joke.

This is obviously going to depend on your area and how much of a food desert you’re in, but I’ve never seen so much access to so many kinds of meat replacements in average grocery stores and not just bougie upscale places. Tofu, tempeh, fake meat everything! Which isn’t even a big part of my diet, but I love having the option when I want something new.

If it was just a cost thing I wouldn’t necessarily mind, but it hasn’t been established that natural dyes are always safer than artificial ones. Sometimes taking a lot of a natural thing and concentrating it also concentrates what would otherwise be a low level contaminant that wasn’t concerning, because you’d never consume enough of the non-concentrated thing for it to matter.

Removing artificial coloring doesn’t mean they’ll no longer be dyeing food, it means they’ll be using bugs (cochineal) and algae to do it, along with other natural dyes.

Is there a cure, doctor??

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Not in my experience, but 500 mg/piece (!) is at least 10x what I would consider taking if I wanted it to be an enjoyable experience, and honestly 50 mg would be pushing it. 5-20 mg is a typical dose.

All very YMMV, people have different metabolisms and tolerances, blah blah.

Psst, you missed a 0. The one on the left is 2000 mg total 😱

I’m with you, I’d be on the ground in a puddle for the next 12 hours. But in a really uncomfortable way, where the air conditioner is musical and you can’t tune it out.

This thread is about kids medically transitioning, by the time they’re undergoing puberty they’re teens or preteens. Not like six year olds who want to do ballet or whatever.

If you’re going to make broad generalizations about every trans person like that, I mean, maybe. There are trans people that read HP and trans people that don’t GAF.

If they’re high quality editors who consistently put out a lot of edits then yeah, it is meaningful and insightful. Wikipedia exists because of them and only them. If most feel like they do and stop doing all this maintenance for free, then Wikipedia becomes a graffiti wall/ad space and not an encyclopedia.

Thinking the immediate disgust of the people doing all the work for you for free is meaningless is the best way to nose dive.

Also, you literally had to scroll past a very long and insightful comment to get to that.

How is protesting for their family and neighbors (weird you left that one out, you don’t have to be related to someone kidnapped to protest) over having their Constitutional rights violated not protecting democracy?

Also, touching a Mexican flag doesn’t actually revoke your citizenship or residency, regardless of what Fox News says.
