Finally! Finally they’re trying to take the bullets out of the gun instead of trying to make a stronger bulletproof vest. I feel cautiously optimistic!
I’m a bit jealous that there’s no side effects, though. Depo made me gain 30lbs in ONE month. I’m lucky it made my tits significantly bigger (Went from a B to a DD), but that was not a fun experience.
So excited to share my Lady Maria from Bloodborne! I even got to shoot it at an 1800s victorian mansion! Everything is handmade or highly modded. I 3D printed the Rakuyo myself and it does transform like in the game! I’m so happy with how it turned out!...
Detroit Become Human. It was a wonderful game, but there were so many decisions that changed the ending of each character. It was hard because I always wanted the happiest endings possible
Thank you for adding more information. I love reading more about this stuff. It would make sense if a meteor was related to the P-T volcanic activity. It would easily have enough force to mess with the crust of the earth.
Mass extinction events have a cause. The Permian/Triassic one I mentioned, is generally agreed to be from unusual movement of earth’s crust, creating severe volcanic activity. The eruptions caused CO2 and pollution, meaning greenhouse gasses built up. The heat shifted water currents and the temperatures, mixed with acid rain, decimated life in the oceans.
Humans are basically the volcanoes in modern times. Yes, the earth goes through normal changes, but these temperatures are increasing at a speed that, to my knowledge, has never happened. There is a way of teaching kids about how long the earth’s had life, that visualizes it pretty well. If all of earth’s history were to fit on your arm, shoulder to fingertips, if you gently scratched your fingernail on something rough, you’d erase all of humankind. We have barely existed on earth, but are throwing it off balance like never before. (With the exception of the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, but that’s a whole other tangent)
Having taken years of pathology/physiology classes, it really feels like the earth is a body, and it’s getting a fever to try and deal with an illness… us.
Lmk if you need any sources. I can’t exactly copy my books or the ones from my old college’s libraries, but there’s plenty of studies/resources out there if you’re nerdy enough to dig 😊 (fossil pun)!
I’m severely immunocompromised. Let them try and get the mask off my face. I’d prefer to hit them with my cane, but in all honestly, it would be more effective to sue them on federal ADA violations.
My grandmother is convinced it’s still like that. She would not have let me go to WSU except it’s the only school in Michigan that offered a degree in Mortuary/Postmortem Science

My bigger concern is that almost every company now has it in their contracts/terms of services, that all users are not allowed to participate in a lawsuit, be it class action, or court case against them Most of them even have a maximum sue limit too! There’s a lot that have a rule that initial arbitration cannot have a lawyer, but that won’t be enforced.

I was part of this crazy thing called A Simple Walk into Mordor, where a group of guys from Rooster Teeth walked from the real Shire to the real Mount Doom (and Erebor in the sequel) in New Zealand. Finding an actual bathroom to use was a luxury. A sink is much nicer than hand sanitizer, digging a hole when you have to poop is not fun, getting an upset tummy is nerve-racking. When you’ve gotta go, you’re gonna have to use what’s available, not what’s nice. Don’t take what’s nice for granted.
A lot do, actually. There’s a bunch of places you can get paid for online surveys, people who can’t work a normal job do them full time and most make ~30k/year from bed. It’s been great for the disabled community.
It’s because it’s a data stealing company. They require 24 different types of permissions, including keylogging, biometrics (your fingerprint), your wifi network, your Bluetooth, photos, contact info and it saves your payment details, just by using the app. It also was recently flagged for malware. You’re getting a good price because you’re paying for it in a different way
Yup, a lot of my cosplay/fashion designer friends have had their work stolen and they can’t do anything because it’s international and they can’t afford an attorney with their small business income.
Those cat paw socks, Danielle Baloo at Toe Beanies created them, several years ago and in the process of getting a patent, they were copied by Alibaba sellers. She was denied her Kickstarter campaign for drop-shipping, and had to fight for months, proving she was the original designer. Screw people who steal designs. She worked her ass off and they’re selling her work with cheap foam that’s not safe for human skin… I constantly report them.
I’ve seen so many girls posting that if aborting a rape baby will get you the death penalty, than you might as well take the rapist out while you’re at it. I’m so glad I’m sterilized.
It’s already here. I was sterilized (I don’t want kids, have a SEVERE genetic disability that I’d passn on, can’t afford my own house, like to sleep in, enjoy traveling, think the world is overpopulated enough, etc) and get attacked by men and women anytime I mention it.
I’ve apparently
"destroyed my body"
“Fucked up the only reason women exist”
“Chosen to die alone”
“Failed my country and family”
“Made a selfish decision”
“Chosen to be a slut instead of a mom”
“Become useless to any man”
The list goes on. If I change my mind, I’ll adopt. There’s nearly 400,000 children in the US foster care system and that number has nearly DOUBLED since Roe v Wade…
I flat out write “childfree” on dating and social apps, so people think that gives them permission to attack. I’ve encountered a LOT of men with breeding kinks.
I think the worst was after RvW got overturned, several of my other childfree friends got rape threats because then they’d be forced to carry their psychotic fan’s child. (I’m a professional cosplayer, so are the girls that got these messages)

I’m a mortician who’s worked substantially with autopsies. To be the county coroner, you do not need a degree, you do not need experience in mortuary science, postmortem science, forensics, pathology, NOTHING. All you need to be the county coroner, is to be popular.
Meanwhile, funeral directors in the USA need to go through years of college and continuing education, because we’re literally the last line of defense when coroners/doctors screw up. I’ve caught dozens of mistakes the coroner has made and I’m sick of it. The most recently was a shaken and bruised baby having cause of death listed as SIDS.
I no longer blindly trust autopsies for accurate cause of death. If the mortician needs 4 years of medical school, the freaking county coroner would should be required for at LEAST that to be elected.
I’m a mortician and posted something similar. Morticians go through 4 years of medical school, including pathology and forensics, because it falls on us when the coroner screws up… and they have. The case that hits me the hardest was an infant being given SIDS as the cause of death, but postmortem bruising and broken bones told a different story. The owner had to call police and fake a funeral arrangement while he waited for them to arrive.
