isinglass is rarely used in beers any more, not only is it more expensive, in the US the micro brew crowd has a significantly higher number of vegans than the general population so nobody wants to lose that business. In Europe isinglass doesn't conform to purity laws for countries that have them. Unless you're drinking a milk stout ( or sometimes a chocolate stout, but they're mostly just brewed with cocoa nibs) there's a >99% chance your beer is vegan.

This is for meat eaters. I want to overcome the phobia of seeing my food alive before it ends up on my plate as meat. Are there downsides of skipping observing the food process?

I've never exactly played that way but I was in a long campaign where we were expected to post between sessions. Mostly did a ton of in character chat and some minor actions that didn't require dice rolls. It made the in person sessions a lot better because we could just jump into the action while the DM was there.

I almost never cry, I'll tear up on rare occasions but I've probably only cried like once a year since I was a late teen. I really hate it when I cry and can't imagine wanting to do it more.
Though I have been called emotionally stunted before so I don't even have an idea what normal is.

SSRIs really seem to be a die roll person to person. I have a friend that they worked great for, for me though all they did was make me so fat I got even more depressed.
I'm bi-polar and major depressive so my cocktail is probably geared a little different than what you need. But here it is anyway. Lamictal has been a good help for the (sad?) depression, venlaflaxin has been a fucking huge help for the angry depression and the mania. And propanol has helped with the anxiety which has had a knock on bonus with the depression, although I want to get off of it. It apparently can have extreme long term side effects.
I also am a god damn alchemist at self meditation. Kratom, THC, CBD, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine etc can all be titrated and timed for different effects. Takes a while to figure out how to stack things for best effect but it really makes a difference knowing how to tweak your mood when you need too.

Fun '2020 George Floyd uprising fact; The Target that was looted and burned in Minneapolis was a laboratory location for testing new surveillance and repression techniques. They worked very closely with the MPD. It wasn't targetted randomly or opportunistically, it was a source of oppression in a mostly PoC community and was destroyed in retribution.
I had no idea, that does kinda change the narrative. Not that I have any problem with people fire bombing target just for shits and giggles but this seems like really good reason..................................................................

I lived in Appalachia, Walmart was about twenty minutes a way, the next closest grocery store of any real size was a solid hour away. I fucking hated that I had to shop there but at least their self checkout didn't have scales so "discounts" were common.

There's a fair amount of rap I like that has like fucking 4 minutes of talking in it, I'm good to listen to that once but it interrupts the flow when im making a play list. Also some music I sleep with will have like one annoying section that I'd love to cut out. Bonus points if its use able on Linux.

Keep your hate pure! Mostly rap, hip-hop, metal and punk. I welcome any suggestions if you have ideas to help the rage flow.
All I want to do is fight and fuck and drink myself to death, I know they're all bad ideas but it's so hard to stop myself. I live angry at everything all of the time. People avoid me, which makes sense as I can rage at a seconds notice. This episode is just starting, so far I've been handling it better then past ones but I have anywhere between another month to another year stuck in this state. I don't even get the cool manic energy that lets you crank out a book or something else worth while. I just have constant nervous energy that can't be put to any use. Fortunately I have pets, if I didn't have to be responsible for them I think I'd bounce on my whole life. I know that's a classic bi-polar feeling and will seem like a terrible idea when I come out of this but fuck every thing and everyone sucks. (except for you guys  )

I just have to get this off my chest but I can't talk about it too anyone who knows me in real life. About ten years I started a new job an instantly hit off with a co-worker. We had a ton of similar interests and she was super easy for my anti social self to talk too And holy shit the level of pure chemistry we had, I didn't even know that was possible. Only problem was I was married and she was engaged. Over the next couple years we managed to keep our hands off each other only because one of us anyways had to stay sober enough to drop the other off and we both knew drunk consent isn't consent. We became the kinda friends that know things about each other no other person does. But things never went farther than the rare nude or a hand that would linger too long in passing. Once I quit that job we both broke off all contact and I haven't talked to her since. I'm married thirteen years now, last I checked she was married with kids. And yet I still can't get her out of my mind. All of my best dreams are about her. I honestly think that if there was one thing I could fix about my life it would be to go back and make it work with her. This is a really shitty feeling I haven't been able to get over for ten years. Maybe getting it out there will help and this ain't the kind of shit I could tell anyone in real life.

Watched Fist of the Condor yesterday, it was only mid tier but it defiantly whetted my apatite for more south american martial arts. My spanish is shit and doing a web search in english isn't turning up much so any one have some recommendations? Also a spanish torrent site would be great cause the few movies I've found on other torrent site are almost all dubbed.
As with most "drugs" 90% of the information out there is fear mongering, most of it talking about bad trips not so much physical effects except nausea. Are bad trips and depression really that common? The only other psychedelic I've done is dmt and never had a bad experience so I guess I'm not overly worried but would love some info from people who have used it.
I've ended up in a few conversations recently where someone has basically said to me "I don't mind trans people I just don't get it." My response is along the line of "the body fucks up and has birth defects all the time, some people are born with a cleft lip or an extra finger or shrunken limb and some people are born with the wrong genitals and hormones. Theres no real difference and you certainly would support a blind person getting their eyes fixed so of course you should support transpeople getting their genitals fixed." So far for most of the people I've talked too this has been like a light bulb going on. However I don't currently have any irl trans friends to bounce this off of and I want to make sure I'm not being an idiot and framing it in an offensive way or missing something I should really be adding to the conversation.

I've gotten to meet a few people from here irl and they were all awesome, I'd love to meet more of our comrades and I expect there's a number of us who feel that way. Not would it be cool to hang out but as much as we wish it were posting isn't praxis however meeting offline makes it much easier to actually accomplish something. My thought was either a sticky thread or new com. People who are down to meet can post their nearest major city and then handle everything else through DMs, that should keep the doxing to a minimum. Anyone else interested in the idea or am I just being dumb?
On it's surface the plot is a basic anime revenge story but it's told in really mature way. The characters are some of the deepest most will developed characters I've ever seen in ( the first season) an anime. It's also probably the most feminist (action) anime I've watched. It deals heavily with the place of women in feudal Japan and the women navigating it are great complex characters. The other main character is a disabled guy who while funny isn't played for jokes and is incredibly resourceful. My only complaint with the show is sometimes the art is a little weird and there's a couple of scenes where the plot armor is a little heavy. Seriously give it a watch.

cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/788222 (cross posting for more visibility) > Do to some really unfortunate shit my wife and I have to move however we really want to good with our place. Our first choice would be having a commune set up here in whatever form that takes, a place for our un-housed and unsafe comrades, a group of people who really want to do the self sufficient life style or even just anyone who needs a different life. The house is in a very rural area in Appalachians of western Maryland. > > > The house: 3 bedroom 2 ½ baths unfinished basement (which could be renovated into more bedrooms.) > > The property: Almost 40 acres mix of fields and woods, a stream and several springs. As well as over 20 apple trees and more edible and medicinal plants then I can count. A large green house, barn (running water and electric), wood shed, chicken coop and bee hive (there is also a one room cabin but we plan on keeping that as a place for us when we come up to do work on the place). > > Furnishings: We’re planing on leaving as much as we can, washer dryer and fridge, table and chairs, probably a bed or two, a workshop worth of tools and tons of other stuff. Also lots of out door equipment including a lawn tractor, brush mower, tiller, log splitter and more. Enough stuff that it’s already set up for whom ever comes. > > The goat: We have a pet goat whose awesome but we can’t take him with us and he has a problem with his back legs so we’re worried if we gave him away he would become food. So the goat stays with the property and needs to be cared for. > > Rights and responsibilities: There will be an official rental agreement so all the renter protection maryland offers. We will pay for all the repairs. Your only responsibilities would be basic yard maintenance (just the 3 fenced in acres) We’re completely open to the idea of of renovating the basement into bedrooms as well as the barn so more people can stay. Hell we’re even willing to talk about building another house/cabins. Basically for the most part as long as you ask first we’re willing to consider anything. We plan on moving back some day but that's at least a decade down the road and we have every intention of letting the commune continue to operate. > > Rent: Unfortunately yes, we simply can’t afford both a mortgage and rent. However we’re obviously not looking to profit so the rent will be tied directly to our fixed rate mortgage, that puts the place over 1k below market value for the area and that's just considering the house not the property or the vast amount of stuff we’re leaving. As inflation continues goes up and the rent stays the same the value is even better. And once the mortgage is paid off no more rent. We’ve put 10 years of blood sweat and tears into this place as well as over 100k of improvements (brand new roof and high quality windows ect) We also plan to continue improving the place, solar panels a new fence for the garden and maybe a pond are all in the near future. We feel guilty about charging rent but its the only way we can make this work. > > We've got about eight months to set this up. I’m happy to answer any general question here, any questions that might dox me send as a DM. Everyone here always says they want to live in commune now is the chance!
(slight back ground: My driveway is a half mile long and I live past my neighbor so any car that goes past his place is going to mine ,also the area is heavily wooded) So yesterday the sheriff comes tearing up the drive way to my place (had to leave my car on the side of the road, not any problem.) A couple minutes later my neighbor sees lights moving through the woods (it was just me) but as soon as the sheriff left he steps out of the woulds holding an AR-15. "Just came to check and make sure you're ok" It's nice to know your neighbors truly have your back even when the shit is hitting the fan for real.
