True story

Yeah, mohair seems like a bad call for this. Maybe angora, or silk. Even cotton would be better.

@thatguyyouknow I get where you’re coming from. I think we have a lot of exposure to the loudest most obnoxious segment and it can really ruin the value of the movement. There are some people out there shouting about feminism in toxic cancerous ways. And I found that I was quite averred to the movement myself.
But it’s a bigger story and some of those ideas are important—essential to a healthy society. They are the ideas from the people who fought so that women could be doctors/lawyers/professionals, vote, have credit cards and own homes.
We continue to need these ideas and champions because we aren’t a perfect society and we still have things to work on. Don’t let the voices of the bad actors color your perception of powerful and visionary thinkers.

Yeah, I sorta think that too. You don’t eat your dog because it is your friend. There is the small matter of the coevolution shared by dogs and humans. I imagine that has a role in why we don’t typically eat them.
But also, pigs are really smart and charming. They do make good pets. I don’t think I could raise meat pigs. I worry that I would have a hard time eating them.

Where I live, we actually have a big problem with humans spreading disease to bat populations. A few years back many caves were closed to visitors in an effort to protect the bats.

You had to grow your own tomato

So apparently this murdering a person in a hotel and stuffing them in a suitcase to dispose of them is pretty common. I went I. Search of the article but there are too many cases like this.

True, (no accounting for taste) but any mammal blood will substitute the leavening effect of eggs. :)

Whatever it takes to get the job done

Does not have to be human.

Ooof. That’s rough.

Taking antihistamine before exposure helps. And getting incremental exposure is key. I usually start with 10 minutes a day in the spring for a week or two and increase it 5-10 minutes until I stop getting hives...

I love to watch the difference too. I know the fun had to mean the same thing and match the speaking, but I like to see the difference.

My kid dry swallows. It freaks me out.
Also, my brother had a stroke (when he was in his 30s) and while in the hospital took up the dry swallowing. The nurse came in and gave him this pill that was about the size of a quarter and reached to give him the water and he just fucking swallowed it and we were all horrified because not only was it big it was dry and chalky. It was crazy.
