There are websites and or apps like meetup where you can find new hobbies and friends. As for anxiety, you may as well pick up one of cognitive behavioural/anxiety workbooks. It’s likely your therapist will prescribe something like it as homework anyway and it’s best to know what you want to talk about ahead of time as starting therapy can be awkward. Also I liked the book “In the face of fear, Buddhist wisdom for challenging times”

You can tell because the coffin doesn’t interrupt the shadow at the bottom of their legs.

hate to know what they think a speedrun would look like

Isn’t that just Trump? Without him it would take decades to get where we are. He did like 5 years of acceleration in his first term and has done another 20 in only his first year of the second.

I think it’s on purpose at this point as a way to get engagement. The more comments, the more people likely to comment, more people likely to interact and upvote or whatever equivalent.

I found this to help me imagine the shape:

Pizza bites

No idea why you got downvoted. They arent rare, Zofran the most common anti nausea med is meant for sublingual.

Do we push the billionaires onto the pumpkin or do we all go on the pumpkin?

Its just the way she is standing, it makes her left knee appear lower than it is.

Radiolab Episode from Tree to Shining Tree (air date 7/30/2016) is a really fun episode about mushroom networks.

What do the colors represent?

Its coming from Tiktok. Bytedance has heavy word censorship and if one of your comments or videos was flagged as inappropriate and had one of those words your account would be automatically suspended for review.

So a lot of normal westerm words got flagged. Kill. Dead. Any word related to sex. Hole. (Lol) basically every curse word.

Then there are gray words like Pedophile where people think it changes the algorithm to show your videos less if they contain them, but no one has any proof from what I can tell.

I don’t even hate the conversation that much, I just hate standing in my doorway for a half hour having the convo.

Did that for about 5 years, didn’t work. If anything they came even more often.

I don’t mind the conversation for a bit and my comment probably alludes to me being ruder than I actually am. But after a half a hour if they can’t take a hint or even a direct declaration… Then you got to find some other way to get them to leave.

Oh man this is really brilliant, I never imagined I could get free labor out of them.

I like when those religious nutjobs come by, I have so much fun with it. I aggressively offer them alcohol (like pour shots and crack beers and put it in front of them) which is usually a hoot with the religious types that go door to door. They usually come in twos, so it’s fun to create personal drama in your head about them and then just declare it openly to them. (I am surprised they let you work so closely with Matt, with you know… The temptations and all😉).

I used to even have props for some gags… But for some reason I haven’t seen them in a year or more. It’s a game of if I can make them uncomfortable enough to abandon the mission… I always feign some interest.

Who said the lead poisoning stopped?

Eat your weeds… This is Common Purslane:

It grows mostly everywhere and is a huge source of Omega 3 fatty acids. It’s much better cooked in my opinion. Also it’s best to find them in a field and not by the roadside where it may be leeching up god knows what hydrocarbon adjacent type of poisons.
