I think that we could have a really nice time playing stuff on tabletop simulator. Just an idea.

TIL the Hi-Power’s compensator attachment in Insurgency: Sandstorm is real, actually.

I feel like if I opened this and read it right now, without preparation, that it would deal enough psychic damage to kill me outright.

How bad is it?

Finding some way to taper off the nicotine will dramatically improve your odds of quitting for good. The oral fixation is a bit harder to deal with but nicotine-free electronic cigarettes can emulate some of the experience of smoking and chewing gum can give you something to do with your mouth. Working out also helps with cravings for some reason. One of the biggest obstacles to qutting can be the social groups/situations you smoked in. I was lucky enough to wind up without any other friends that were hooked on nicotine and that made it easier.

The the second week off of it is the hardest for some reason but after you get past that its all downhill. Getting past that threshold may take multiple tries. Because of how addictive nicotine is I would HIGHLY reccomend abstaining from any form of nicotine once you decide to quit completely. If you let him get his foot in the door youre gonna wake up with him in your bed again, metaphorically. A behavior can be forced into extinction but addiction only ever goes into remission.

I’ve been off the stuff for exactly two years and two days at this point and I still get occasional cravings, particularly after crying or exiting a high-stress situation.

Good luck. Sorry for the word vomit. You CAN do this and it WILL be worth it, I promise. If you fuck it up, thats alright, just keep trying.

I get my brows waxed every so often and I’ve never noticed much of a difference between getting it done at a hair stylist vs at a spa or what have you. That said, my sample size is rather small and every stylist is going to be different. You’ll probably be fine.

So I recently switched from once weekly estrogen patches to twice weekly ones. There was some overlap with the scripts, leaving me with some of both and so I had an utterly brilliant idea friday. What if I put BOTH on, then that would like… feel good right? Because if estrogen equals good, then more estrogen equals most gooder! I am such a smarticle!

Yeah so I slept until 1pm yesterday, spent the whole day in a state of totally incoherent frustration. I was very bitchy and cried myself to sleep. The crying part being highly abnormal.

I yoinked off the smaller of the patches this morning, having learned why we don’t fuck with our horomones all willy nilly.

Comrades, how have your weekends been?

I have no idea, sorry.

what is douche agriculture? Is this about growing the douches or is it more farmers who are assholes?

Letting sliced tofu marinade in an acid like vinegar or citrus juice (plus a little salt and seasonings) will make the inside deliciously bright and tangy.

If you pan fry it you don’t need corn starch or anything, you just have to pat it dry before putting it in and be paitent.

At Aldi its like $1.75 or thereabouts but the tradeoff is that it has the worst consistency of any tofu I’ve ever seen. It is sold as “extra firm” but I’m not even sure if the silken - firm spectrum can even apply to this stuff. Great for making seitan, pretty meh for everything else. Don’t press it, that makes it angry.

and these people groups then curate paintings

Hey, real talk, are you okay?

Battle Lines ==> B L ==> Boy’s Love ==> Yaoi

This will have gone from a shitty theme month at some bar to a political rally with a petting zoo in front of the Idaho state capitol in less than a year with no publicly available information about sponsors or donation numbers. A letter from the IRS confirming their status as a 501C3 public charity is dated to January of this year. Now I’m not exactly sure how that all works but 5ish months to get major donors on board seems like a tall order. Their special guests appear to be reactionary twitter guys.

Not exactly confidence inspiring.

My bet is this is going to be DashCon for queerphobes and a total sausagefest.

Oh huh, that makes a lot of sense now.

Nah yeah its like that everywhere. At first it seemed sales tax thing to make the price an even $16 or something but at 8% it comes out to 16.07 so its… genuinely suspicious.

People who can’t come up with nine more cliches

He very well may be. This is anecdotal but I’ve noticed that some people use autism as a shorthand for other disabilities, particularly if they aren’t close with the individual in question. I have no idea how widespread this is but it creeps me out a little every time I notice it happening.
