Can you explain why all milk tea tastes like it has playdoh in it? I just want a freaking Chai tea like the glass coffee Starbucks drinks but all the Asian teas with milk have an odd flavor from whatever is going on with the milk

Sex is bad but graphic footage akin to war carnage is just superhero stuff totally appropriate for kids /s

It would be better to microdose lithium if you really don’t want to be high imo. 5-20mg range, can be intermittent (doses for bipolar are in the 100mg range and up). There’s already lithium in some water supplies and in foods like potatoes, so a small amount in a microdose normally doesn’t affect anyone negatively.

I will say over time your body will adjust to cannabis so if you microdose at night consistently before bed, you’ll just sleep it off anyway and eventually it won’t even get you high anymore.

Eta: lol the downvote is even funnier

No wonder Cheech&Chong, Willie Nelson, Snoop, and Lily Tomlin seem pretty young at heart/mind for their age

0Further down this user realized they didn’t really remember the name of which meds to not mix and may have been thinking of aspirin/ibuprofen …lol

Pain meds get denied all the time. There are many reasons a surgeon might want to pull all teeth (although I agree thats extreme). Medical malpractice happens. And yes sometimes healthcare will approve tooth removal over other treatments. One of my friends couldn’t afford a root canal and his insurance only approved tooth removal so… that’s what happened.

I do not mean mixing pseudoscience with science. I mean that traditional Chinese medicine, which modern Chinese medicine is based on, if you would bother to do even the tiniest bit of research on the history of medicine, is based on a system of give and take, ying/yang, of flow, and with Qi. This philosophical basis means that they are less binary with their definitions and allow for more gradient thinking. Given that living is a delicate neurochemical and microbe balance, a give and take - it seems much more of an accurate view of the body and this has benefitted them a lot. They cured HIV and herpes with CRISPR-CAS9. It’s genuinely incredible.

China, India, Arabic countries, and then finally Greece and Western countries all influenced each other with medicine because they were on the silk road. The first medical compendiums ever made were made by Arabic scholars over hundreds of years, because they were in the center of all of this information. They also invented the first hospitals, and due to Islam’s values with charity, were meant to be free to use. These are valid scientific endeavors that enabled more research and a greater variety of case studies. It’s why hospitals to this day have wings for roughly each area of the body - eg doctors who read the section of the compendium on eyes would be eye doctors in the eye wing. It wasn’t expected in Arabic medicine that every doctor would treat every condition because the literature was so vast.

The body doesn’t discretely separate out organs though. It doesn’t say “oh well that’s a kidney issue so I can’t hurt the heart.” Western medicine tends to inappropriately segment the body into discrete parts which are actually related. I have personally made connections in the medical field knowing that this is the blind spot in Western medicine, and when I look at studies to confirm my hunches - China did the research. This is what I mean about them having an advantage. We’d have to bring real philosophy back into science if we want to catch up.

Yup, Beijing has some of the best bioengineering papers I’ve seen lately regarding gene editing and microbiology, even some biochemistry. Chinese medical philosophy trends towards holistic systems, versus Western medicine which looks at discrete conditions. So China has made a lot of advancements in areas where this flexible thinking is benefiting them and is a more accurate way of looking at biology.

I think it depends by what you mean by support. I support people’s legal right to practice all forms of sex work. I think it’s silly to outlaw sex work.

On a personal level, I think sex workers are a “final frontier” when it comes to workers’ rights and we should stand together in solidarity and demand certain standards for sex work so it can be done ethically. Things like:

• all sex workers must be independent contractors or cooperatives. They cannot be owned by a company or third party.
• all sex workers have the same protected privacy status as priests in terms of what they can be compelled to disclose. Everyone should have the right to sexual privacy with their kinks including the sex worker.
• if a sex worker does want to report suspected illegal activity, they are completely protected. It is up to the worker whether they will disclose information regarding encounters (ps, you DEFINITELY want this. Sex workers hear terrifying things they cannot report for fear of repercussions).
• it is rape to lure a sex worker into sex under false pretenses (or sexual assault/battery). Including lying about HIV sti status, lying about ability to pay, or lying about anything that would affect her ability to say yes or no to the interaction
• all sex workers should be allowed to politely decline any client, no repercussions. Including strippers.

I personally see people as a Dominatrix. I only see people I genuinely like. Due to the nature of people who see Dominatrixes, most of my subs are not sexual anyway, and I decide sex on my terms/comfort. I am polyamorous and very good at FemDomming, so I figured it would be a fun job at the end of the world. I get to meet a lot of people and travel, it’s pretty fun. I think if I was doing more survival work it would be different, or if I was doing full service etc. But I genuinely like every sub I take on (otherwise it’s really boring and not fun, which defeats the purpose of this job in the first place). Sex work doesn’t have to look like a hookup. Usually most people are looking for connection, even with porn and stripping.

Apparently the squishmallows I got her are an obscene show of wealth, according to my family and her doggy daycare. I got them for like $10 each from Costco. She is a texture gal and always squishes and kneads her toys so I knew she’d love squishmallows. She sleeps with her head pushed onto one every night.

You mean u/Spez, the former moderator of r/jailbait, who reduced mod transparency on all subreddits including porn reddits? Wonder why he needed to hide who the mods were after that scandal.

Also, fyi, to post adult content on most adult subreddits, you have to verify. The way reddit does this process is creepy to say the least, (OnlyFans at least requires an ID to verify your age) along with how they delete smaller porn subreddits that do not have those rules, including porn subreddits that are explicitly moderated by the content creators themselves. It’s like porn pimping on reddit. It’s genuinely very creepy especially if you believe the conspiracy that Ghilisaine Maxwell was an active subreddit poster on r/news. And if Spez or his alts are moderators on most of the big porn subs, then likely he is seeing hundreds if not thousands of images (some may be of minors bc of the way they do verification) daily through the verification process. That’s- creepy. Like really creepy. Lemmy is better.
