Motherfucker looks like bukowski

If you’re a first responder or service member you get 50% off 2+ lines with T-Mobile. Even retired for service. I’m an EMT but they only check if your license is current. If this applies to you, you could just keep your license up to date even if you’re retired.

You can’t just say perchance

Idk. I’m an EMT with two semesters of community college under my belt lol. I was just googling and correlating things that I have no practical knowledge of

It’s called molecular gastronomy and it’s art, m’kay?

Alright so I got curious. For the non people-who-know-what-viscosity-is-measured-in people out there, viscosity is measured in centipoise, which is 1/100 poise. Water is 1 centipoise, hence why we use centipoise over poise. Don’t ask me any more than that because I have no idea what I’m talking about.

Lava is anywhere between 10,000 - 1,000,000 cP. According to this chart, there are many edible things that fall within that viscosity. Now lava is very hot, so if we’re going to simulate the experience of eating lava in a safe way with edible ingredients, we need something that is that viscous at high temperatures. This page (PDF warning) says that 140f (60c) is the highest temp food can be without burning you immediately.

There isn’t much on the above chart that is both edible and has its viscosity measured around those temps. The most promising one was chocolate, which is about 25,000 cP. But it doesn’t have a temperature listed. According to lived experience and my ass, melted chocolate has a pretty consistent viscosity at various temperatures, making it a suitable stand in for molten lava.

However, viscosity isn’t the end all be all of a lava eating experience. Lava is rocks and rocks are dense. Lava also looks like it would be sticky. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything on the chart that matches the density of lava that is still edible (2600-2800 kg/m^3 for those who were curious). And there is also no unit of measurement for stickiness. But google tells me that some lava is sticky like peanut butter. So our edible lava needs to be considerably dense (thus, chewy) and sticky.

With these things in mind (viscosity, chewiness, and stickiness), I think the best edible stand ins for molten lava would be hot peanut butter (250,000 cP), with honorable mentions being rice pudding (10,000 cP @100C), and hot toothpaste (70,000 cP @40C). Color them bright orange and maybe throw in some Carolina reaper for authenticity and baby you’ve got some edible lava going

White man, slightly balanced out by neurodivergence and coming from generational poverty. Outside of that I have a very patient and supportive wife that I’m eternally grateful for. She’s the best

Would

I won’t offer my personal opinion as I’m not trans and it isn’t really my place to weigh in but there is an ongoing discussion in the trans community for/against the medicalization of trans identities. Philosophy Tube made a great video that touches on it a while ago

Notice how theft, shoplifting, or resale aren’t present anywhere on that page. The media overstates claims of the prevalence of shoplifting all the time. The claims around shoplifting are bullshit

Freedom, equality, solidarity 🏴🏴🏴

You may already know this, and obviously I have no idea where you are or what your land is like, but it may be worth looking into keystone plants and invasives in your area. If you’re rewilding the plot, having a solid amount of keystone species can accelerate the restoration of the land. And removing invasives will ensure that your keystone plants aren’t outcompeted. Best of luck with your project!

It’s what the Renaissance men would’ve wanted

Wikipedia says the term analingus was coined in the late 19th century and my cursory glance at google showed that there were explicit references to eating ass in early modern texts (~1500s). So tongue punching the fart box is at least as old as the Renaissance. Take the precautions you would normally take for butt stuff (disease free, recently bathed, haven’t pooped or eaten in 3+ hours, an enema if you’re fancy) and you should be just fine. Eating ass is fun and I will die on this hill

Look for an office that advertises “pain-free dentistry”. Not because they’re willing to drug you up if need be, but because that willingness also translates into more attentive and caring providers generally

It’s degrees. Some may really enjoy parts of their masculinity and other may be really uncomfortable with parts of their masculinity. Some may have so much apathy toward their masculinity that they prefer to avoid the label of man because, though that may most adequately describe them from the outside, they have no desire to apply that label to themselves. The concept and performance of gender is a hodgepodge of various qualities that are complicated, often contradictory, and dependent on tons of external factors.

Those labels are there to assist people while they engage with the nuances of one of the most intrinsic and complex qualities of our subjective experiences in life. It’s messy, but it’s also beautiful that more people are inspecting their lives on such a fundamental level and practicing self determination.

Man is a perfectly fine label for many, but others may not have the same opinion about the term despite sharing similar feelings to OP and many of the people in this thread; and there’s something uniquely human about that which is worth exploring

Nail on the head. Its a bullshit solution for bullshit work at our bullshit jobs

Plant estrogens, especially in the instance of soy, have been overwhelmingly shown to have no effects on our endocrine system. If growing breasts were as easy as eating tofu, a lot of transfem people would’ve been doing that over prescription meds

My suspicion is that your stopper isn’t sealing well, possibly from wear or just odd positioning. If you feel like ruining what’s left of that Jim beam in the decanter you can run a little experiment. Clear the condensation out of the decanter and mark the current level. Leave it for a week and see if the level dropped to establish a baseline. After marking the change, coat the stopper in Vaseline and leave it for another week. See if that helped or not. If it helped then you’ve got a leak
