The only good thing about that is Vance has less charisma than the couches he loves, so I don’t think he’d be able to command a cult as well as Trump

I’ve tried ket twice, and the first time was unforgettable. I remember feeling so incredibly alone, even though I was at the biggest party I think I’ve been to. I need that interconnection you get from the other ones like lsd or mdma.

That whole paragraph is probably a commentary on my life lol

Psychedelics were instrumental in keeping me alive after the events that caused my ptsd in the military. But I really don’t think it was just the drugs, I think it was also that using the drugs usually meant being in a “safe” place. There are people who will try to abuse you under the influence of the drugs, but they aren’t (usually) welcome in the groups. I would give one or both of my arms to be able to go back to that time and place, but like the article brings up, I need some medication to keep me going that interacts with most of my psychedelic choices. (also, of all of them ket would be my last choice. I never understood why it’s so popular lol)

My first time seeing them, it’s usually -20°F when they are here. I had no idea they changed so quickly! This made my entire life and I can die without regret now lol

Often something like this is published and people don’t use the methods for the materials they are described with. It’s like taking the idea to make dough for baking specifically shaped bread, and using the concept to make specifically shaped ceramics instead

I didn’t say it was safe! Just safer than minoxidil :) The oil is usually meant to be used as a pre-wash treatment, so it’s not going to sit on your head all day like minoxidil, further reducing the risk of contact with pets.

It’s also much safer to use around cats than topical minoxidil is!

My triglycerides fell a little over 50 points! Almost to a healthy level now.

My cholesterol total fell a little over 20 points, with small drops in hdl and ldl.

That’s about four months of abstaining from alcohol with no change from my normal “vegan” diet.

I went vegan and had no change in my cholesterol. I have never had a diet that was high in fat, so that didn’t surprise me. My doctor told me I need to give up alcohol for any change to occur. There’s definitely a genetic component as well, my dad and his dad seriously struggled with their cholesterol levels.

I had to abstain from alcohol over the summer because I started a medication that is hard on the liver, and I just had a lipid panel today. So I’ll find out early next week if my doctor was right lol

I’m a Navy vet, and the only anime I can remember watching was Inuyasha. I’m probably an outlier though, because the only thing I actually like to watch is Star Trek

Edit: I was aviation, so not your typical sailor

Is there a work around? I feel like every time I figure out how to keep it from uploading and just save locally, it resets the next time I boot up. I’ve been using word because the transcribe feature is very helpful for navigating uni with my disabilities

I guess my confusion with that lies with an additional diagnosis I have: AvPD. Treatment for the pd has been hugely beneficial for me, where I don’t think treating social issues in autism can/should be beneficial or necessary. I’m not disagreeing with your take, I think similar brain structures can have similar symptoms. I just would hate to put anyone with autism through the therapy I have solely because it helped me navigate the world better.

If I had been diagnosed with autism, I would never gone through this treatment. I guess, as my therapist puts it “we don’t want to change autism” where the world does want to change personality disorders

Does this only apply to autistic sensory issues? I have been diagnosed with a sensory disorder, but I have ADHD. It’s debilitating, so it would be neat to experience life without constant overload

Wow. I think you just resolved some minor trauma for me. My mother used to berate (and sometimes beat) me for “never finishing things”, as in I’d be really interested in something and then lost interest. It drove her up the wall, but since I was a kid all I heard was “stop being interested in everything”.

I got dx’d with ADHD at 35. Slowly, and thanks to comments like yours, I’m making sense of my brain and learning to be kind to myself

It takes more time to cut and sew mesh panels into the leggings. Time and more labor. That could be a reason they’re more expensive

Frozen grapes

That’s good to know! I have some chronic disorders that cause fatigue and brain fog, so I’m definitely trying to be extra careful with how I choose to heal from this infection

Thanks for the heads up :)
