Was this some iteration of “straight men don’t care about aesthetics, they care about function” type of thing??

Because that’s such a boring existence. I’m sorry your dad hates aesthetics. I hope you’ve found your own tastes despite him.

It’s still insane to me that people were actually doing that. I know meds like ivermectin and pyrantel are used in humans but still… Horses have BIG organs, and that paste is a suspension dosed specifically to get rid of equine intestinal worms. It’s not the same as the pill you get from a pharmacy.

Even if those people who ate horse dewormer felt no ill effects I bet there’s some organ damage in there. I’d hazard a guess that human livers and kidneys don’t like high doses of that stuff.

That’s a fair assessment, and I can definitely agree with that

As someone from the US i always saw it as people can’t afford to take time off to donate, so compensating them for their time makes it so they can afford to donate.

A few states make it illegal to be monetarily compensated for your blood or plasma, but others it’s completely fine.

Is there? Damn I just kinda picked an instance randomly before I really understood what that meant. Now I’m sad.

I dont get how the surgeon thought this was okay. When I have a regular check up I have to give permission for a student doctor to simply sit in on my appointment.

Having a 13 year old drill a hole in your head is waaay beyond that. I hope that doctor has their liscence revoked. They clearly don’t give a single fuck about their patients.

I awhile back I saw an eagle eating roadkill and as my car approached, it grabbed the carcass it was eating and flew off into a field with it a few feet, dropped it, and sat down to start eating it again.

Had no idea eagles ate carrion. I figured that one was just young or something and having a hard time hunting, but I guess not?

Same. I just want trump to face actual consequences for his criminal activity, and for him to never be relevant to politics EVER again.

I honestly wish I could block trump like in black mirror. So whenever his face comes up on my screen it’s automatically blurred. His voice gets a long “bleeeep” for however long he’s talking. That’d make me happy. I’m sick of seeing his ugly mug and hearing his shitty words everywhere.

I havent seen anyone mention this, but cucumbers have little sharp spikes/spines on their skin so that’d be a huge no for the vast majority of people, and those little spikes would probably rip any condom stretched over it.

Very few people are gonna be into fucking themselves with something that’s got tiny thorns on it…unless they go out of their way to remove them without peeling it entirely I guess.

Seems like a lot of work though.

Tbh this is one is a little personally motivated.

I watched a very smart person I worked for get sucked into an MLM and it was disturbingly cult like the way it played out. One day literally everything about was this Lev-el Thrive vitamin shit. Which around $300 a month to take caffeine laced vitamins with willow bark. Which they were told was safe for everyone by the company… but willow bark is more or less asprin. People with heart issues shouldn’t be taking that shit.

I used to think only stupid people fell for mlms, but my previous boss successfully ran a business for around 15 years(the one I was employed at). I had to leave that job because my boss couldn’t pay me anymore. All their money went into this ‘side business’ that the company kept saying they’d make it back. They did not.

That whole experience was like a fever dream to me. It felt like my boss had been body snatched by some mlm greed demon, and ever since i just see mlms as culty life ruiners that should be illegal.

MlM’s. They’re predatory.

It probably has more to do with the fact that when a researcher or scientist discovers a new species they get to name it.

So if they start changing the names of things it’s basically taking that away from them and stepping on a lot of people’s toes.

Honestly I kinda get it. Getting to name a species is a reward for years of hard work. I’d be pissed if people could change the names of stuff I worked hard to discover. Then again I wouldn’t name them after genocidal assholes or racist bullshit so there wouldn’t be that problem to begin with.

How many pairs do you think will end up in private ‘historical’ collections of nazi paraphernalia?

I had my last phone so long(about 5-6 years I think) that I was forced to get a new one because it was no longer supported.

I know they have to have a cut off somewhere, but around 5 years doesn’t seem like that long for a device. Maybe I’m just getting old, or planned obsolescence or something.

But yes, having that phone for a longtime prevented ewaste and saved me quite a bit of money. Be nice to your phone and it’ll go longer than the company supports it.

Drones wouldn’t scare the shit out of local wildlife and people’s pets at the very least.

I just wanted to add that I’m pretty sure Trump is jealous that Putin has something that he doesn’t… owning an entire country.

He wants to be like Putin and Kim Jong Un and is playing some warped version of “keeping up with the Joneses” to detriment of our entire country. It’s a disgusting display of self absorption I never thought possible.

That’s literally it. He’s going to try to become a dictator so he can boost his fucking ego and not be ‘outdone’ by someone else.
