Can I just do the spices 2x? They seem the most useful without getting myself killed for magic or just stabbed in a mugging for having something too advanced.

I just want some spices to make my food not bland, and maybe making some dollars in the process. Not trying to get killed over my possessions. Spices, I’m sure, went for a good price but less likely to get murdered for selling some as opposed to using a motorbike, or laser pointer.

The dab pen is tempting, but with my layman’s current knowledge, I should be able to work growing out. More concerned about all the infections and what not my body has no defense for. I’ll take 2 vials of antibiotics over any of the other options. Or do a spice rack and a medicinal herb book.

It seems more honest than touting exceptions as some sort of compromise. Have you ever thought of what a rape exception (or other exceptions) looks like in practice? They just don’t happen. How many abortion providers are willing to test the law? How many pregnant people are able to get a police report necessary to be exempted? How many abortion providers are even practicing in states with rape exceptions to their otherwise strict abortion laws?

Arguing about what exceptions should or should not be on the books is a distraction. It’s only service is to placate the general public into accepting barbaric abortion bans.

I was mostly looking for details to indicate the person was real. Got 8/10. Someone had an odd tooth, someone else’s eyebrow hair looked like they had just woken up. There was one picture I immediately knew was AI, because it just seemed off. Another had some strange wrinkle texture on the neck that just seemed unnatural. One of the 2 I got wrong because I thought the eye wrinkles were too much for the rest of the face. Turned out to be a real person.

Mama Ridgeway would be proud of that clean ween!

Why is it when talking about Israeli military or political action it’s necessary to add the word government? With any other country you can say, as an example, “Russia shouldn’t be invading Ukraine”, but with Israel it seems necessary to add something like “I’m talking about the government, not the people.”

On the other side of things, it seems Hamas is interchangable with Palestine, which is interchangable with the Palestinian people, and none of these get folks pointing out the distinction.

We call one of my cats Soup. It’s short for Soup Can

Did he suggest an alternate term, or just say ‘stop calling it that’?

I’m on kbin exclusively now, with the exception of a couple weeks ago. I was looking for exceptional rock shops near where I was visiting. Wanted suggestions/reviews from the more geological geared, and specifically not metaphysical/crystal shops. Reddit was the best resource for my purpose.

That said, I believe the fediverse can become a similar resource. For the time being, there just isn’t a large enough, or old enough library of information to draw from. Given time this should change, but for now Reddit still fills certain types of needs that other areas of the internet cannot.

I’ve never played Cyberpunk, but watched my husband play for a lot of hours. I played Xdefiant’s beta for a day in June. I’m puzzled by why it didn’t pass. Beta was not buggy, had maybe one minor issue with it. My guess is security violation.

Found their website. They use a lot of flowery words, but I think you sum it up pretty well.

Issue one wasn’t about abortion, no matter how much people want it to be. Convoluting it with the November abortion rights issue will only give false confidence for the November vote. It’s going to be a much tighter vote than what this was. Plenty of people across the political spectrum saw the long reaching implications passing issue one would have and voted it down for being a power grab.

I agree. There are plenty of people conflating issue 1 and abortion rights, but the reality is issue 1 had nothing to do with abortion rights. I don’t think this is a Democrat win, nearly as much as it’s being portrayed. Plenty of R’s voted it down on it’s own merit. LaRose was certainly pushing it to prevent an abortion rights win in November, but after his push to eliminate special elections (not to mention what the proposal actually said) folks across the political spectrum saw it for the power grab it was. Wanting to keep a path for citizen led ballot initiatives does not equal wanting to enshrine abortion rights.

I like that you didn’t notice till the last

I didn’t realize, untill now, how much I missed randomly seeing pictures of lizards. Thank you!

These things tend to happen when hanging out with Kazan Smedry.
