4·2 months agoI found this one on an image search
1·2 months agoMaybe it’s just because I live in an area that has a lot of people with outdoorsy hobbies like hiking and fishing, but I see a lot of people wear Eddie Bauer everyday
3·2 months agoI have a relative that owns a Tesla Model 3 because there is no other charging infrastructure in his part of the country and he bought before everyone knew Elon was a right wing asshole. He let me drive it a couple times. If you don’t use the self driving, a Tesla drives like any other EV. Though, I wouldn’t get in any Tesla if the driver intended to use the self driving.
7·3 months agoTarragon has a light licorice taste and is wonderful. Whenever I make a lemon pasta, I include some if I can find it fresh. It’s also used a lot of food in the Near East and Middle East like chakapuli.
I also love keeping chili powders on hand like shichimi tōgarashi, gochugaru, and mala powder.
I use THC to soothe pain. It works really well for that.
I’ve tried THC for anxiety, but it works less well for that. The best thing I found for my anxiety is kava extract. That stuff just melts anxiety away for me and my wife. (There’s some evidence that kava is potentially hard on the liver, so maybe don’t have booze with it)
13·3 months agoI had Long COVID. (Though, not as long as other people.) I had difficulty breathing for 2-4 months, brain fog for 4-5 months, and a low-grade fever of 99.8 F (37.5 C) for nearly a whole year. Shit sucked. I basically don’t remember anything that happened during those months I had brain fog.
This was after 3 vaccines. I can’t imagine how bad it would’ve been if I didn’t have them. During the worst part of the infection, my fever was constantly on the tipping point of “go to the ER” fever.
4·3 months agoIn addition to changing her position [to opposing bans on fracking], campaign officials said she now backed the Biden administration’s budget requests for increased funding for border enforcement; no longer supported a single-payer health insurance program; and echoed Mr. Biden’s call for banning assault weapons but not a requirement to sell them to the federal government.
Sharing this source since the linked tweet was just a screenshot
4·3 months agoA year ago, I didn’t know Spanish. Now, I can watch TV shows for natives in Spanish and have conversations in Spanish (despite making some mistakes obviously). Dreaming Spanish and CI is just a really easy way to learn a language. You don’t need to study. You just watch videos and listen to podcasts that are easy enough for you to understand. Overtime, “easy enough for you to understand” will increase in difficulty. (If you know nothing when you start, then the only way you can understand the videos is by drawings and gestures. That’s fine though, because your brain will still figure things out.)

I know
is bad, but the unofficial Dreaming Spanish subreddit is a great community. It’s very positive and people share their progress.
4·3 months ago“If Harris took a moderate position, she could undermine Republican claims that she is an elite cultural liberal,” Leonhardt wrote. By a “moderate position,” Leonhardt seems to mean banning access to hormone therapy for trans youth—a decidedly right-wing political position that, through misinformed and misleading media coverage, particularly from the New York Times (FAIR.org, 5/11/23), has become more politically acceptable.
It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible
The most basic principles of socialism like checks notes letting your employer keep extra value from you by turning down extra money and having to work as a wage slave when you’re 80.
Most employers offer a match on 401(k) contributions. For example, you contribute $500 per paycheck and the employer contributes $250. By turning down this money, you are literally letting the company you work for keep extra money that would otherwise go to you. Fuck companies. Accept the match, so they can’t keep that extra money. You worked for it.
I’m a Marxist and want the downfall of capitalism. However, I’m investing in total market index funds in case capitalism remains the dominant economic system for the rest of my life, because I don’t want to be a wage slave when I’m tired, old woman.
I’m a completely normal girl, feds. I’m not one of those trans people. Here you can see all of my identification to prove it. No, I’m sorry to say I lost my original birth certificate, but I do have this replacement I got in the mail a couple years ago. I hope that’s fine 😊
According to the New York Times, Kennedy claimed that the worm that infected him “ate a portion” of his brain. Can tapeworms “eat” brain tissue?
SHARIF: Discussions of eating brains are better left in zombie movies than in legitimate scientific discourse. The parasitic infections that impact the brain do not eat the brain. Now, that doesn’t mean that they cannot damage brain tissue. But that kind of inflammatory language indicates a lack of scientific literacy and is pretty concerning.
Okay, but what does it eat to survive, if not the brain?
2·1 year agoNo, it really doesn’t mean much. Claiming it’s fruitless to try to make a lifestyle change because most people who try fail isn’t helpful to anyone. About 85% of former smokers relapse within the first year, but if a friend of yours wanted to quit smoking, would you tell them “oh, you shouldn’t even try because you’ll just fail anyway”? I would personally encourage them and try to be a support system they could lean on! Likewise, if I had an overweight friend who wanted to lose weight, I’d support them!
When I was obese and losing weight, I appreciated my friends who supported and encouraged me a whole lot more than the “friends” who tried to sabotage me by telling me stuff like “weight loss is impossible for most people.” (And both groups of friends had underweight, overweight, and normal weight people.)
Something similar happened to my brother last year for his Covid and flu vaccines. Walgreens said it didn’t accept his insurance and he had to wait another couple weeks for another pharmacy to be able to give them to him
