Apathy Tree

Unless this one works differently than the one I read about a month or so ago, which isn’t at all clear from this article, no, probably not something we can get as kids.

The reason is that, at least at the moment, you need a sample of the cancer itself and protein markers for each individual, and each cancer type, so it’s a vaccine that you get only after you get the cancer. Plus it’s multiple doses over the course of several weeks.

They also aren’t sure if the cancer will come back after being eradicated, so for now they have no idea how effective it will be, nor how long it’ll last.

But this is a technology very much in its infancy. The first trial ever was earlier this year, so… who knows where it’ll go from there. Maybe they will be able to isolate enough common markers for enough cancers to have a childhood vax for prevention. Almost certainly a long ways off tho.

We also need smaller houses damnit! Or more duplexes of reasonable size. We need more 2-4 family properties.

Not tiny houses, not 300sqft nonsense buildings that cost more to have as standalone units…

We need more 1-2 bedroom starter options, and fewer of the 4-6 bedroom micromansions that everyone builds because it’s more worth the money from a development side. Nobody can afford those things as first time buyers.

And while we are at it, we need more apartments that can be purchased like condos or houses. Rent is all well and good for short term, but people should have long term ownership options even in big cities if they will be there for a while. It’s absurd your choices are basically rent and be at the whim of your landlord, or buy a standalone.

There’s next to none in all water, when measured by volume.

But things concentrate, so the 0.00005% adds up over time.

Considering it’s also in the water, probably not, no.

If it goes by wonka physics where it needs to be shrunk down from like 10x size, you’d get such intense diarrhea you’d probably never walk again after shitting out your spine.

I would love to see a sword of truth series, but not done as an action thriller with shallow characters, because that’s just not what it is, damnit.

Honestly, it’s not even less of a high, even if you use medically/heavily, it’s just more balanced. When you smoke, a ton of the goodies are combusted anyway, but if you mix you stretch the same stock and the cbd nicely compliments the thc, like old-school weed that topped out at 10%. That was when it was good. Sure you maybe needed more than one hit to be done for the night, but it was a better experience.

But I’m totally with you about the potency race, it’s the wrong way, and modern weed is very anxious weed. It’s just really strong and out of balance. And it’s just not a good time when you are naturally anxious, which more and more people are…

You can also (and I recommend this anyway if you have anxiety) buy hemp legally in most places, sold as a cbd flower (you can probably also buy it online in most places), and mix it with the weed.

The higher cbd content helps to offset the super high thc levels of modern weed. Gives you a much more pleasant less anxious experience.

Well now I’ve got the banana song stuck in my head… (from memory so if I got any wrong, too bad)

Charlie, you look quite down, with your big sad eyes and your big fat frown, the world doesn’t have to be so gray.

Charlie, when your life’s a mess; when you’re feeling blue, always in distress, I know what will wash your sad away.

All you have to do is put a banana in your ear, you will never be happy if you live your life in fear.

It’s true, so true, when it’s in the world is bright and clear, the bad in the world is hard to hear when in your ear a banana cheers, so go and stick a banana in your ear!

ETA: video, cuz then I had to go listen to it anyway. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EqwYzi_IG6k

I’m low-key annoyed that the article links to part 3 of the series but not part 1… Who does that??

So here’s part 1 if anyone wants to read it

Old school saw horse ;)

The justification for this seems to be “Yes we know you’ve done the hard part by taking action against them, but we simply don’t trust you to stick to that decision, and thus must monitor you to ensure you do what we want you to do with your life. Oh, but we’ll make sure your abuser knows all about it, whether you want them involved or not. That’ll definitely help keep those kids safe!”

I can absolutely see how that would be traumatic and intrusive. I hope this challenge goes places.

You can get good media, or you can get mass-appeal media.

Sometimes they cross over, usually not. Unfortunately, a -lot- of horny men really like the (especially self-insert isekai) horny stuff. And they pay a lot for it, especially merchandise. So so much money in anime merch, especially horny anime merch. It’s so profitable there’s an anime merch store at my local rural mall in Wisconsin, and it’s full of super questionable hentai-adjacent stuff.

There’s a lot of good stuff out there that isn’t that, but it is definitely an actual slog to find any of it because there’s way more low quality samey horny junk.

You can make or buy something like this if you can’t do clips.
