  • Sounds like work. People buying this ice likely either don’t care or don’t want to spend the time.

    I’d never buy this, because I don’t even use ice, and if I did, I wouldn’t care about its shape. Seems silly to me.

    But I can’t disparage anyone who sees that market, and that means it’s worth doing as a business, to some degree, probably.






  • doc knows she’s had a full hysterectomy, knows she doesn’t exaggerate, knows she refuses to take anything medincinal unless forced.

    Sounds like medical PTSD. I’ve fucked my liver taking OTC meds in very high dozes cuz I don’t trust doctors. Had to have an emergency hysterectomy at 28 because they wouldn’t listen. That kind of pain is indescribable.

    Had a cardiologist come into my room with a team of students to prove I only had anxietyand hypochondria a few years ago. Shortly after, Was diagnosed with Dysautonomia shortly after and I now have a pacemaker.

    I’m done with doctors and would rather just die at home at this point. Fuck them.

    Sorry for your spouse. ‘Womanly’ pain is the worst pain there is, imo.

    We managed to dial things back a bit, so that became a smaller problem.

    We used to see regular news reports of actual rivers on fire. Things are still way too bad, but we forcefully throttled some things as we saw how quickly the damage was compounding.

    Women’s hair doesn’t defy gravity without lots of help.












  • Yes exactly, thanks.

    And something many of them can’t understand is that ‘species’ is a very fluid thing. There are no clear boundaries, and it’s just a term we use to wrap our heads round things.

    Like with chickens and eggs, there was never a single point where an avian dinosaur gave birth to a bird – it’s not a clear delineation. Something mostly an avian theropod gave birth to something slightly more bird, and this happened over and over, with the slightly more accumulating for millions of years, and you finally get ‘bird’. But there’s no way to point at one generation and say ‘see, it’s now a bird’.

    The process is so gradual, you could never point at a thing and say This Is Where Speciation Happened. It doesn’t work that way. Just like you can’t point to a drop of water in the ocean and say This Is Where The Wave Started.
