Yep. My aunt does this sometimes. I think it’s her way of coping after her dad died. She also does non-kooky stuff too (like finding healthier baking recipes...but still making the normal ones for her obsecenely picky nice, or at least getting me some Reeses)

Yep. Sometimes a lot of tests (they did a ton when I was in elementary school—long story short no thyroid or hormone issues, just Asperger’s back when the tests were geared more towards boys and so it took ‘em a while).

Yep. I do that sometimes—usually it’s just meditating around a candle I liek but I also sometimes wear jewellery based on what the stone is supposed to do. Other times I just wear it cause it’ll go with my outfit.

There was a great article by gynecologist that called it out as not a good thing. Ditto for shoving bags of herbs up your va-j-j to “cleanse” it.Here’s the gg one:

YAY! I’m more into animation than live action but he kills it just as much there! The man has SUCH a good voice. Can make anyone sound amazing.

It was a quote back in 2010 too. I remember a bunch of the Te Party guys swept into congress got interviewed and were asked about their plans right after the holidays and were like “we had no idea you don’t just go in and do things right away. We don’t know how any of this works.”

Yep. I remember even with the union cooperating it took a little over a year to boot this one teacher from a FL school my mom worked at. The issue was just that she was lousy at her job (she taught autism and special needs kindergarden but if you didn’t learn via her methods she just had you color all day, pissing off…

I thought it was already what gangs called themselves when trying to sound respectable but, idk.

Yep. You’d think people would notice by now that it’s the Bernie articles bringing people over to the Root...hence they write more Bernie articles to bring more people. Basic strategy.

I’m not calling Bernie a sellout on women’s rights. I’m saying it feels odd that this issue is where he suddenly embraces big tent ideas of party when he initially didn’t back Orsoff. If this is merely a turning point and moving forward we do fine, then we do fine. If this is a turning point of tossing social issues…

Agreed however Dems in the past have been too selective, to where we let far, far, FAR too many Republicans run utterly unopposed. We need to work on that too.

One of my fav Bloom County strips made fun of how comically little money it could take to bribe people.

...You know I think that might work. Make it Americans under 30, to be safe.

Because they miscalcuated, assuming that his grassroots support might not like seeing the Party Establishment involved. It was a wrong move overall however I do see their logic—they thought if it stayed under the radar the GOP might not mobilize properly for what they thought was a sure thing, while voters might be…

I mean maybe this is them finally realizing to relax in general (hope springs eternal in me) but only time will tell if it’s that or just throwing issues they don’t care about by the wayside wholesale while retaining purity tests for their preferred issues. We’re going to have to wait and see to find out (never fun, I…

True but I’m talking the same people who were saying it mere weeks ago, not just during the election...I mean better late than never, but still, it felt sudden from some people...agan if it’s a full turning point on purity tests instead of just trying to declare the social issues unimportant compared to economic ones…

My big issue with the Mello thing is how it relates to Orsoff and what that says about the biggest problem with progressive purity tests: who designs the test? Because whoever does the designing is going to be biased, no matter what.

Yeah, my high school celebrated the end of Ramadan--admittedly they did this just by letting us party on the baseball field at lunch since for most of the school it was “Yay Our Friends Can Eat With Us Again Day!” but you get the idea. A lot of kids went potluck, whatever teacher they had before lunch usually let them…

Adam and Eve were the humanity beta test. Once they were functional enough to disobey God implemented other humans into the programming.
