Were there boobs in pic 15 or something?
TBH I feel like maybe the wall of teen idols with a crucifix above them all tells a story I am not sure I want to hear.
But…having seen a lot of generic greige walls in my day, I admire something that’s immediately so ugly to my eyes. Genuinely.
I guess it depends on how much effort goes into it, but odds are it’d be an easy cash grab so i assume it’d be way worse and also inherently obnoxious.
That came out of nowhere after a bunch of already known but reasonable advice. Was it written by AI and not checked for misinformation, or is it just spreading the cell phone radiation misinfo in an organic, human way, I wonder?
It must have sucked for your dad but part of me is happy that those sitcoms didn’t entirely lie to me.
I remember I felt I missed something because my mom explained the specifics of menstruation to me and school went into more detail about sex and reproduction. Despite what sitcoms were telling me, no one ever sat me down and said anything about birds or bees. I guess I hoped there was a weird pre-written speech parents awkwardly tried to recall when their kids got to a certain age.
It’s not ideal, but keeping food on the table, a roof over your head, and light/heat running are going to be bigger priorities than worrying about a tomorrow that might not come, anyway.
Well, since she’s healthy, is she the type that bruminates? I feel like I’m doing a “no stupid answers” thing because I’ve only had leopard geckos and anoles, so I should leave the answers to people who have had turtles, lol
How does she look? Cloudy eyes? Weird smell?

You got me reading statistical analysis of bullying across countries and damn this is a complicated topic. It seems like boys are the most likely perpetrators, but I wonder if it’s a difference in relational and verbal bullying vs violent bullying, and what’s perceived culturally as bullying and so on.
This idea reminds me of https://postsecret.com/ . I don’t know if it’s helpful, but it’s interesting.
I watched a bunch of old twilight zone as a kid. I never watched new versions, because critics always had a lot negative to say about them, and I personally only sorta enjoyed the classics. They did stick with me, the classic ones, even when kid-me didn’t like them. They’re influential.
Honestly, if I was starting now, I’d just find a list of best episodes and watch those first, and if you are super into them, then you know you’ll probably enjoy the less notable ones. You can watch them out of order. The most famous ones are good to watch just to understand the many modern references to them.
I’ve seen some stories where vampires suck blood through their teeth, back when I read more vampire fiction, but I don’t know how common those are. I think it seems a bit comedic, so it probably depended on how funny the story was supposed to be.
Reading around, it seems like if you keep it within recommended dosages and have no existing kidney problems, it’s all good. The main thing is to make sure whatever supplement you’re actually taking is reporting the amount of creatine correctly.

Supplements aren’t regulated well.
I do think it’d be interesting to do a real study on it. Keto can reduce seizures, and after study it might turn out the same mechanism of action that helps there helps with schizophrenia symptoms. I hope there’s a more extensive study being planned out there.
It’s a treatment for people who don’t respond to medicine.

It’s pretty interesting! I listened to a medical history podcast about keto years ago.
https://maximumfun.org/transcripts/sawbones/transcript-sawbones-ketogenic-diet Apparently the diet started as a treatment for epilepsy. Way back in history people noticed that if you were inclined to have seizures and were starving, you had fewer seizures. In the early 1900s there were experiments to figure out how to reduce seizures without, you know, starving them to death. keto!
I wouldn’t be shocked if keto had some kind of effect on the brain that helps with schizophrenia, but there’s no real info yet.
The evidence that ketogenic diet might help with schizophrenia symptom remission comes from two case reports that Palmer published in Schizophrenia Research in 2019. When discussing them, Palmer was quick to emphasise that “yes, it’s only two”, and that “case reports don’t prove anything. They’re not controlled. They come with tremendous amounts of bias.” But, Palmer noted, that can be important for generating hypotheses about what treatments might work. Palmer thought it was valuable to publish these case reports because remission of schizophrenia symptoms is incredibly rare.
Two case studies! The scientist quoted knows that it means nothing! Don’t read one article that might show something that confirms your bias and go “this is real.”
I’d assume drugs if I saw a guy staring at a vending machine for ages. That’s “took too much of something that doesn’t leave the system fast” behavior. Possibly he wanted to get something from the vending machine, but couldn’t hold on to the thought for long enough to go through the process. Perception of time gets fucked on those sorts of drugs, so he has no idea he’s been there for however long. The behavior sounds specifically like that of people I’ve known who accidently took a higher dose of edibles than intended.
The world is real but we perceive it with a brain that can read signals of it imperfectly if something goes wrong in there. That leads to strange behaviors like you described.
online glasses shops will sometimes have a “shop by face shape” section. I’ve used zenni’s and it was fine.
https://www.zennioptical.com/b/glasses-for-oval-face I’m not the best for recs here since I’ve only used this site ever and got my frames from the eye doctor and lenscrafters before that.
https://www.wikihow.com/Determine-Your-Face-Shape If you genuinely aren’t sure of your face shape, and you care if you guess wrong, get out the measuring tape.
