Manner, this is horrible. I'm so sorry.

Everything is so fresh. Those wounds haven't even begun to clot or scab over. One day you'll notice you're not bleeding everywhere all the time, even if you trickle blood now and again. Then you'll feel less pain in the area. When you heal you'll have a big scar. You will heal, bit by bit, over time.

It will never be the same, but you will find a new normal and find peace in it. Not now. Not soon. But you will. And you can take comfort in that scar. You will always be able to feel and to remember what a beautiful thing you had. Your future holds even more things of beauty.

Please do seek a therapist. They're so helpful and they can guide you on a path to heal.

they make a fake pearl, dye it crazy colors and then shove it inside the oyster and ship it to their distributors who reopen the oyster on cam for people who have purchased them. then the distributor either ships the pearl loose to the customer or they set it in a piece of overpriced jewelry and ships that.

i saw last night some lady sold two pieces for over $400 to some woman with some flamingo hot pink pearls claiming that's a natural pearl color. i was like no it's not.

that is disgusting on many levels. They're wasting lives shipping oysters to do shit like that. And what a waste of time and energy to film and watch that stuff. All for fakery. Jeez.

It has been a struggle for probably 17 years at this point. Recently with work duties changing I reached my limit. Today I saw the doctor, did some tests. There is a wait to see a psychiatrist and that's going to take a few months to get fit in. The doctor was confident I will get a formal diagnosis that first appointment. Initially, we weren't going to discuss medication until after the diagnosis. Then I got home and got a call from the doctor. She is concerned with the wait time and thinks it will be beneficial to get started with very low dose medication now and see how it goes.

Fingers crossed that this helps. Just waiting to hear from the pharmacy when the script is ready. I will be blown away if I can actually sit down and do my coursework in chunks longer than 10 minutes at a time. Or actually get a load of laundry folded.

Damn you, novelty-seeking brain that does poorly with the daily tedium of modern society.

It's so weird when you're put under. Awake one moment then awake and confused the next.

A water pick might be ok if you can use it at a lower pressure. When I had my wisdom teeth out (when I was 12, 18 years ago) they gave me a syringe with a curved tip to rinse the socket area. I didn't get dry sockets. My gums still have noticeable scarring.

You probably aren't going to feel up to doing work tomorrow. While you could do it, pay attention to your body and don't push yourself. Keep in mind your going to feel fucked up from anesthesia for a while, you lost blood, and dental surgery can be physically traumatic. More than that you may not be able to eat as normal and won't have the same energy.

Why not just require gun owners to have insurance (and possibly inspections) the same way vehicle owners do?

None of this murder insurance

Because guns are a right and cars aren't.

A right that some people can be excluded for through no fault of their own (such as mental health issues), or by being on the wrong side of the law

You still need to follow federal and state laws to have that right. Make one of the laws mandatory insurance.

actually raises a question i never understood.

I know people who have done low carb diets and lost weight, but they always act like "yeah i can eat all the meat i want!!" but wouldnt you not lose weight because you are taking in a lot of calories by eating tons and tons of meat. I only look at weight loss as calories consumed vs. burned so i dont understand any other way.

many people that go on keto fail to lose weight by overdoing the calories, esp. with processed meats and cheese.

I genuinely worry that there will be a minor health crisis later following the animal-based keto dieting.

My brother has a beta and every time I see it I want to put the poor thing out of its misery.

Have you seen betas on display at the pet store? Half of them you can't even tell if they're dead or alive. Frankly, they might as well be both. They've all got mangled looking fins and some of them are just spacing out floating at the top.

People didn't really need to make an alcoholic fish to figure this out. Maybe they did, idk.

Theres the obvious issue that We cannot ask animals how they feel, says Dr. Diego A. Pizzagalli, the director of the Center For Depression, Anxiety and Stress Research at Harvard Medical School. Though researchers may find parallels in serotonin and dopamine fluctuations, neither fish nor rat can capture the entire spectrum of depression as we know it, says Dr. Pizzagalli.

There is a heated debate in the fish research community about whether anxious or depressed is a more appropriate term.

But what has convinced Dr. Pittman, and others, over the past ten years is watching the way the zebrafish lose interest in just about everything: food, toys, exploration just like clinically depressed people.

You can tell, said Culum Brown, a behavioral biologist at Macquarie University in Sydney who has published more than 100 papers on fish cognition. Depressed people are withdrawn. The same is true of fish.

The trigger for most domestic fish depression is likely lack of stimulation, said Victoria Braithwaite, a professor of fisheries and biology at Penn State University, who studies fish intelligence and fish preferences.

the alcohol part is a very minor aspect in the test and the article. fish appear to display depression symptoms and have similar neurochemistry to humans They may be a viable way to test future antidepressants, and they have now measured baseline depressed fish behavior to compare results. animal models can't exactly tell how they feel but fish can have their feelings easily observed.

But when you champion a cause that is diametrically opposed to your actions, it becomes a little more noteworthy.

Kinda like PETA when they kill a bunch of pets because they're shitheads.

hypocrisy is people saying they love animals and supporting factory farming and mass suffering and death of animals by eating meat. :P

Was Affleck a womens' right champion? Was Weinstein? I think neither were, and did not speak about the issue of assault. ben Affleck said next to nothing about his shithead brother, someone that openly assaulted women. Fucking WOODY ALLEN is trying to call people out about this stuff too. That guy.

Assault is more of a gendered issue. Sexual assault is not about politics. There are a number of things that my political affiliation would support or be opposed to that are not in line with my values. But i sure 100% do not support sexual assault no matter who I vote for, nor would I assault anyone. I am not a liberal.

Foxx is pointing out that implication is that if it's not hypocritical for a conservative to commit sexual assault, then they must not be principled enough to be opposed to sexual assault, not to say that conservatives are generally immoral but to point out the absurdity of associating it with left vs. right.

yep. If it's hypocritical for a liberal because they oppose it, that means other political affiliations are not opposed to the act. That's just ridiculous.

Unless they are telling me conservatives are actually ok with sexual assault as part of their principles, which I find that hard to believe.

Explain. I think you and her are just pissed off that I'm taking a jab at the moral police left and don't actually have any kind of rebuttal

well first off this assumption is waaaaaay out there:

Smarkil posted...

Conservatives are generally thought of sexist/mysognistic. So while it's still a criminal and disgusting thing to do, the left often expects it from them.

The left are often portrayed as the paragons of virtue when it comes to their treatment of women. They would never do something so heinous and uncouth as to sexually assault a woman. They're in the streets championing for womens rights and how women shouldn't be treated like meat.

Like conservative politicians make laws that make things shittier for victims more often than liberals do, but that's not the same as conservative people = misogynist rapists or liberals = paragons of virtue.

All people of all political backgrounds are generally opposed to sexual assualt, perhaps save for some real shitbirds

There's no poetic justice in someone being assaulted by a liberal (or in that liberal being busted)

Now if it was someone that was actually actively campaigning and known for being opposed to X thing doing X thing, yeah, hypocrisy exposed. Poetic justice might be them going to jail (lol how likely is that)

But being conservative doesn't mean you condone sexual assault, nor does being liberal mean you condemn it.

Yeah professing certain ideas doesn't make you immune from being a shitty person. There's a lesson to learn from that.

I mean, it is kinda poetic justice when the morality police get caught doing what they preach against. Just like when religious conservatives get caught forcing their mistresses to get abortions

Are you suggesting that conservative people think it's ok to sexually assault others? All sides should be condemning that action, some groups are louder about it (and still seem to have fewer perpetuating it)

it affects everyone and all manner of people commit sexual assault.

Is that really how you interpreted my post? SJWs are really interesting people. Just searching for reasons to be offended
