Wait, is it still homoerotic if Q is a being beyond gender? I have so many questions and zero interest locating the people who can answer them.

Or even me. I didn't even proofread it. So it's entirely unvetted!

You're welcome to try it if you ever have a feeling like, "I have a sad and I do not know why." For maximum luxury include sad music! Really jazzes up a luxury sad!

Bonus is, if you get out before the hot water runs out, you can get the catharsis of "and now all my tears are down the drain and out of me, and my muscles are relaxed." If too hot of water, add post-cry water, or a cold water bottle in the shower.

Disclaimer; none of this advice has been vetted by a medical professional.

I'm just glad for you that at least your funk is melodious!

I'm glad someone said this here. It feels vile, being forced to do business with these corporations, but I end up getting bulk couscous (which has been scarce even in single bags or boxes in my rural, deep south community) for my autistic stepson who has very specific dietary needs. I can get very specialized disability equipment there, and it's delivered in two days (which is already two days longer than we can afford to wait, sometimes, but we make do.)

Yes, obviously, be ethical everywhere you can, as often as you can, but a blanket "dOnT dO bUsInEsS wItH eViL" is useless, whereas minimizing harm like with tips for links like this one is very helpful.

It's so insanely privileged. Reminds me of the same keyboard warriors who like to "raise awareness" by pouring ice water on themselves and then doing nothing else, feeling smug they did "something" when their only involvement with our causes is posting smug one-liners on the internet, or, of they're feeling particularly "helpful," changing their profile picture to reflect someone else's cause.

I've been through a shit ton of trauma, and I'm at a place now where I will decide before crying, "Is this worth the inevitable headache?"

Which leads to me saving up several sadnesses and then planning a luxury cry sesh where I take a preventative ibuprofen, drink preventative water, listen to sad music in a shower and really indulge. Apparently this is abnormal and unhealthy but I really, really hate getting a headache.

If something is sad enough to justify the headache, of course, game on but I will complain!

As my (comes 100% of the time when called) cat gets older, I suspect the amount of energy he's willing to expend when I call will change his willingness to do so, and I'm prepared for and even welcoming of that day.

"I would like to pet you" does not necessarily override his comfort once he's old enough that coming running might make his bones ache or interrupt a particularly nice nap.

I do have a little song I sing when he's "missing" and I'm worried, which I trained him to come to (with wet food) when he was a teensy kitty and I would worry he had gotten lost in my home or wedged under furniture. I do it every once in a while as an "emergency" song, and I give him all the treats and affection and play fetch when he answers that one.

For your entertainment reader, the lyrics, which are nonsense (first thought up in a panic):

"I wish I had my kitty man,
So I could pet my kitty man!
And if I had a kitty man,
Then I would pet that kitty man!"

He usually arrives during the beginning of the third line.

This was also helpful the one time I accidentally shut him in a closet. I guess he got shut in and just decided that was a cue for a nap, but once I started singing he started howling and pawing loudly at the door.

In public places, my late father had assigned a specific short whistle tune to each child to identify our location (he'd whistle and each of us would answer via specific tune in turn). It also worked as a "distress" or "attention needed" sound if we did it without prompting.

Thank you for reminding me of that!

This was a fantastic story. I imagined you saying, "Well, come on then," with begrudging, exasperated affection. 10/10 comment.

Impossible Meat was pretty good until twenty minutes later when I discovered my rare blood disorder makes me deathly allergic to the fake heme they use to synthesize blood. Seemed dead on identical to a Whopper, even the second and third and forth time I tasted it (from all the barfing).

I've had maybe two fake beefs that tasted dead on since then, and a bunch of fake chicken. I think since we have come this far in making fake meat, it's conceivable that there's a future tech that can craft a meat that doesn't cause the negatives of meat consumption.

I think it's also safe to presume that in the ultra future tech advanced society of Star Trek, they can remove the bacteria that causes body odor in humans.

I'm throwing in with the person who said that it might be cultural. Like how some people hate when I sweat garlic. And maybe Vulcans were too polite to tell humans about the unpleasantness of our odor since they logically know they shouldn't comment on this aspect of culture.

And also they seem to really get off on feeling superior, so why tell humanity there's something unpleasant about them? Those barbaric humans. I bet it's their illogical obsession with emotion that makes them smell (since certain emotions do in fact cause hormonal changes that make smells). "It's a biological side effect of unchecked emotion."

Of course, if that's the case, I bet they can smell Pon Farr. And you are welcome if you haven't had that idea yet, fanfiction smut people. (This is a joke. Y'all are a million steps ahead of me. You can see in my comment history I only this past week realized how homoerotic Q's obsession with Jean Luc has been all these years.)

Stamets, friend, you good?

Love memes for memes sake but I'm here if you need somebody.

Remembering this from Community.

"It's Vietnam!" And he laughed. They had no idea what they were in for.

Back in the dark times when I was an admin for a very popular website, some very hateful nazis were sharing images of a dead Jewish child and laughing and claimed to be literally jerking off to the image. They claimed she was 9.

So yknow. Not in a hurry to see pics. Just want a trusted source to verify that they exist.

Just because it's replicated doesn't mean it's not meat, right?

This is intentional.

That would certainly explain the make, though not the pricetag.

I laughed.

I think that this is a question for men. Catch a woman with period poops and I will bet money she never stands.

The number of times I've seen that... Baffling. The only time to park close at the gym is in the pouring rain.

To add on to other's stories- my cat will come and hop into my lap 100% of the times I call him, even on another floor, and I didn't even train him to do this, he just really likes my lap.

Sometimes he does cute stretches on the way to me, or makes mrrps and other sounds to tell me he's coming (and I assume ask if there might be treats, because one time he mrrp'd and I somehow remembered that there were treats that exact moment like two years ago) but yeah. Cats can come when you call them.
