High pH is basic btw. I’m assuming you meant low pH with the reference to soda

My acid reflux has nothing to do with acidic or basic foods, and everything to do with the ratio of fat I’ve eaten or how many alcoholic drinks I’ve had in an evening. Beer is about a hundred times less acidic than soda (for reference) and soda doesn’t set my reflux off

My point is that human bodies are weird and we react in weird ways to food. That’s why we have to trial foods

I am going to ask a really silly question: Have you tried using a panty liner? (yes, the period product!) They tend to make panties a little more structured while still allowing for natural movement, and I assume it will help with a gaff too

I’m not sure about that, but the reply a little down that says people will get voluntold to attend if not enough are willing sounds probable. I served under Dubya and had a similar experience. I usually just volunteered for watch when something like that happened lol

The dichotomy of people falling asleep and the guy who thought he’d be so entertained he brought popcorn is wild

Millions of American people with Irish ancestry fly or even have the Irish flag tattooed on themselves. They even flew it in protests and marches last year over how Biden responded to the genocide in Gaza, but I’m sure that’s totally different

Maybe you can use a reloadable visa card?

They shouldn’t be allowed to use less than lethal rounds. I’d prefer no armed police, but the less than lethal aspect especially makes them emboldened to shoot without any consideration. What goes through someone’s head when they shoot a person who made the mistake of falling down? “easy target”?

That woman might be lucky if she survives, and without brain damage, and it really turns my stomach that they didn’t have the decency to call for an ambulance

Fair! I’ve only taken organic chemistry so far, so that’s what I remembered

Some molecules have a rotation that is centered on a chiral carbon atom and is named by the way the other atoms of the molecule rotate. There are some rules to it, but L is levorotatory and means it rotates to the left or counter-clockwise. D is dextrorotatory and spins to the right, or clockwise.

Edit: spelling errors lol

That is something my mother said to me a lot. Along with, “I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it”. It’s fucked up, because it’s not like anyone chooses to be born. These are not normal things for a parent to say by any means. It’s emotional abuse.

You deserve better than that! It’s not easy cutting ties with family, but life is a lot easier when you’re not dealing with such a toxic, resentful human in your life.

Ask her what she needs you to do or say during those moments. Anxiety is different for everyone, and what might calm one person might be more anxiety-inducing for her. Just make sure to ask when she isn’t in an attack!

Something that helps me when I’m nervous about calling someone I’m dating is to make some of the calls a “date”. Watch a show or play a game together, that way conversation is focused on what you’re doing together. This way you don’t have to stress about making interesting conversation (because the activity is making things interesting for you).

They’re not extremely similar to MSI, but you might like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the band)

These allegations have been around for years, which might be why you’re not surprised

I knew someone who was voluntarily homeless. He sometimes stayed in hostels so he could shower and brush his teeth. How do you manage personal hygiene?

There’s an instance called literature.cafe that has a lot of writing related communities. I see writing prompts somewhat often while browsing all. It’s not the largest of instances, but it might be a good place to start

Where are the consequences for Musk funding Republican candidates?

She had a nightmare while on the call with you? So she also fell asleep?

I dunno, to me it seems like a good sign that you’re both so comfy with each other that you fall asleep on a call. I tend to have nightmares too, so I try to stay awake as long as possible (not on purpose, it’s just how it is). So when I find someone that makes me feel safe enough to sleep, that’s a big deal.

I have a Braun Silk-Epile that I really like because there’s so many interchangeable tops. You can use it to trim hair down before you epilate, and it also has nice little massage heads to help exfoliate and prevent ingrown hairs. They also have a decent replacement policy, I lost my charger during a move and they sent me a new one very fast.

I also really like how easy it is to clean. I tried another brand before that had a complicated mechanism for opening the housing to remove the hair. Not fun spending as much time cleaning as you do removing hair lol

(also, for transparency: I’m an afab nb that was on T and have gone back in the closet because US politics. So I’ve used this mostly on my face and neck)

Exactly! I’ve lived in this area for six years and just saw my first swift fox last month. They nearly went extinct because farmers were killing them. These little foxes eat rabbits, mice, and insects like grasshoppers, so you’d think they would be good to have around
