i was JUST asked at a recent gathering (that had only animal products for food) if i "still eat fish" and was met with shock when i said no. do people genuinely think fish aren't living beings or something?

shredded king trumpet mushrooms will forever be the greatest option for any bbq-style sandwich

are you using the ruger factory mags or aftermarket ones? aftermarket mags seem to create problems sometimes from what ive heard. also agree with the other replies about ammo.

for right wingers these books are almost entirely for show and seldom read. having them is less about extracting knowledge from them but about the status symbol of having a trump or liz cheney or ted cruz book or showing off your opinions with these visual capsules of ideology. there isn’t anything in that book worth reading and they know that, it’s just about sending money to your favorite right wing grifter and then getting a little display piece out of it.

also the big chain bookstores are only shelving these books because they’re acceptable opinions in this fascist society. if they shelved lenin for instance i’m sure they’d get blasted by chud media for a week. many smaller independent bookstores will often have marxist stuff or, at the very least, some relatively left leaning authors.

all of that time spent trying to get an appointment for HRT and that’s all i could have done??? fuck. thanks for saying it NOW….

it's usually effective with these people because there's no argument for banning trans women from women's sports that's based in reality, its genuinely a make-believe issue.

estrogen also really weakens you! it's totally a thing. pre-transition, i was in the gym pretty frequently so i built up quite a lot of muscle mass. now i can't lift something more than like 10 pounds. even had to get a polymer stock for my rifle because it was too heavy.

if it were true that one can easily just transition and go play in the female league of a sport and immediately dominate, why aren't all of the worlds biggest and most successful athletes trans women? if experiencing a "male" puberty makes a trans woman inherently stronger than any cis woman out there, why has only one open trans woman competed in the olympics ever (where she unfortunately did not place in the top three)? if it were as easy as the right makes it sound, you'd think we'd dominate every category effortlessly but you just don't see that. the opposition to trans women in sports relies completely on a fantasy.

far-right rich NIMBY assholes are actually the vanguard of the revolution against the bourgeois homeless and you guys haven't read enough theory to understand that.

i joined under the guise of what you talked about, the "less problematic than PSL" thing. now it seems like its much too small to have any significant drama or discourse that would produce problematic takes, and also that it seems to be less centralized in general so its very chapter-dependent for problematic-ness (?). maybe it is very centralized though and i just didn't know it, they've got their cadre members that do the actual stuff and their general members that just kinda fill seats and i was only a general member despite the cadre people frequently inviting me to also become cadre but it's a massive time commitment apparently.

they dragged me in circles when i was trying to get in with them! after weeks of waiting for a response, someone says "come to our event and meet this person", the specific person isnt there but the person i asked says "come back for another and we can get you started", and hence begins the cycle of me showing up to their events but never being talked to by anybody or let in.

i was a member of my local chapter for a brief period before i learned that one of the leaders was a horrible person and the rest of the leaders were covering it up for him, so i left. thats chapter specific, but just a reminder that these problems still exist in some chapters. despite it being significantly smaller than PSL, i liked the people more. it seemed like more people actually had read theory. however it was a very white, cis, and straight group from what i could tell. there were also very few women and fem-presenting folks in general, at their social events i was one of maybe three. this did lead to a kinda dude-bro-y environment that wasn't incredibly toxic, but i just don't enjoy that kind of atmosphere myself and if you don't, be warned. their events are great though. sorry i can't say more, it was a really brief stint. there just isnt a lot to say about them in general though because they're really small. they do have some really cool members though, i met some who participated in the chicano movement of the 60s-70s.

at least in the soviet union you got an apartment with your job or given by the state

why must everything fun be so bad for you??

coke is great but so easy to end up overusing. i had to stop myself before it got like that and lots of people have had similar experiences it seems.

for some of these you might need somebody who has a lot of experience with fine line technique (like the first and last would need those in my opinion). for the more geometric ones, anyone who does clean geometric stuff. i would just be wary that, depending on size, these will take a really long time and artists usually charge by the hour.

hell yeah comrade i took a huge rip to this after reading

it’s not unregulated. it’s still prescription, it’s just not controlled. like an antibiotic or something. i don’t think you’re allowed to put prescription medication in products like that.

still have my old dysphoria hoodie from the closet days when i was young and the days just after coming out. an ex stole it and i was able to retrieve it. its a nice hoodie and still fits well, i just cant bear to see myself in it again.

aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase- two enzymes that are tested to monitor liver function.

let me just say- shower while high. feels amazing.

there would be, the vials are sterilized and have self-healing holes on top where you put the needle in, so opening the vial will break the sterility. you would have to re-sterilize if you did this.

been having a lot of anxiety over hrt recently. last blood work i got a few weeks ago, my ALT and AST were really really high, and my provider is having me retest this week to see if its gone down. i've stopped drinking in the last few weeks, i don't eat meat, i've been exercising a lot recently, and i've even been taking a few supplements that might do something for it though the evidence for it is spotty, so all things that should help for that issue. i'm just really worried that if my retested levels are still high, my provider will take me off hrt or something like that. i'm prepared to DIY as soon as that happens, so i won't be without it completely, but its still a worrying thought nonetheless.

its entirely possible and people are already working on expanding access to certain medications with that. transformed e. coli and yeast are already used industrially to produce medications like insulin (a plasmid carrying the human insulin gene is forced into e. coli). theoretically you could do this with anything, just insert the human gene for it into some bacteria or yeast and they become little factories for it.

what is the purpose of this? when is this preferable to just going to any outdoors store or gun store and getting ammo? when do you conveniently need a box of ammo? i'm a gun owner and i genuinely don't understand the reasoning here.

its on their telegram

kenneth? the guy from barbie?

but seriously what an awesome song

the sequel count zero was a lot better than neuromancer as a literary work instead of just a description of an aesthetic.

totally normal. it's totally fine not to have some kind of predetermined goal- the most important thing is that you're striving for a look/expression that gives you joy. by following that, i think you'll land on the way you really want to look.

well, unless its weed. i and everybody i know are all constantly stoned. but maybe thats just my crowd.

this critique points out the numerous methodological flaws in the report.

cubed tofu, rice, water, soy sauce, whatever veggies you want all in the rice cooker together. turn on that rice cooker to cook the rice and it'll cook everything else. lots of food, genuinely zero effort. this has been the essential cornerstone of my diet recently.

i have a friend who now pays more for his car insurance since changing his legal gender to male. insurance is fucking crazy.

i'm actually one of those people who just transitioned for fun and isn't trans like all the weirdos online like to strawman about. i thought it would be cool. i was right.

we should be parboiled before cooking to ensure a fluffy interior with crispy exterior?

“This is the first president in the history of the United States of America that anybody seeking asylum has to do it in another country,” Mr. Biden said at the time. “That’s never happened before.”

“You come to the United States and you make your case,” he added. “That’s how you seek asylum, based on the following premise, why I deserve it under American law.”

hey...uh... what does this mean???

spent the first day of pride month yesterday doing target practice with my rifle. make sure to practice!

this. ihp also takes card i believe. also https://www.privatemdlabs.com/ for labs.

the only other possible benefit to rescheduling is that it will become easier for researchers receiving federal grants to study it, but again that doesn't mean much if so many are still imprisoned for it

they WILL use this against people in the future. corporate non-compliance or even dissent will have your implants shut off.

haven't drank this week!
