My own lol.

Any of them

Well, of course there’s a benefit.

To anyone selling the ivermectin or whatever to people that don’t need it.

Seriously. That’s it. There’s zero benefit to taking medications like that if you don’t have symptoms.

But you fuck one goat…

Shit, I’m hostile now.

Legit, I’m usually nice to people, even though I hate people at large. But I don’t trust any motherfucker at my back until they’ve proven they can be trusted.

That’s how I would handle things in a crisis like that. Short term, low trust, mutually understood cooperation, but with safety valves.

No more or less flawless than windows, Android, or the iOS stuff.

It’s different flaws.

Eh, short term it’s no big deal. Teeth are durable as hell and won’t get fucked up by anything that minor if it’s a rare thing. But, the more you do it, the more damage accumulates over time. A few times a year over decades? Never gonna notice it.

A few times a month, and it’ll be a decade or two before it would be a problem.

A few times a week, and you’d better have dental coverage and/or good income, because you’re looking at a few years before it starts showing up as carries. Less if circumstances are bad, or you didn’t start out with very good teeth.

There’s also the fact that keeping in the habit of brushing after eating stays a habit better if you don’t deviate from it without an important reason. In my mind, if you’re awake enough to eat, you’re awake enough to brush afterward. If you aren’t awake enough to brush, then you probably shouldn’t be eating either. Fucks with digestion and metabolism. It’s better to just stay on track and skip the snack, if you dig me.

But nah, if it’s a rare thing, you’ll take more damage from a soda than a single night skipping brushing after a midnight nosh. It’s all about the acids.

Now, if you can’t be bothered to at least swish out with some water, I’d say you’ve got worse things to worry about because you can do that on your way back to bed, swallow it and take zero extra effort beyond the mouthful of water. If your energy is that low, or there’s some other impediment involved, focus on that.

How immersed?

Tye sphincter can and will resist pressure, but only so much. You won’t run into that kind of pressure freediving, or even anywhere you could use a wet suit afaik, but you get deep enough and it would become an issue.

Or, if you’re immersed somewhere with water moving heavily, you could get breaches in your breeches I suppose.

Ummmmmm…

The problem with the idea is that it only functions as a thought experiment. Not that that’s a bad thing per se, it just makes it less useful. You can’t really gain much from it because it breaks down in the real world completely since that perfect state doesn’t and can’t exist on a physical level. Bodies and brains have a built in drive that forces the choice, even in the absence of rational decision-making processes.

Even insects will go after the highest chance of continued survival, which is usually going to be water since its reserves are used up faster. In a circumstance where a creature is so perfectly balanced between death by starvation and death by dehydration, they’d be radically dehydrated and likely non functional to begin with.

So it only works as a way of understanding internal paradoxes of thought, not real world situations.

Not that that isn’t obvious for the most part, but I think it kinda needs saying that it isn’t a literal or realistic scenario, it’s a tool of thought.

Yeah, I’d be looking for someone else too. I don’t believe in being a slave to a clock, but he’s just not matching your needs and expectations even when he’s there, so it just isn’t a good pairing. A trainer and client have to be on the same page for them to be able to really guide you.

Sorry you’re working so hard and not being supported right. There’s plenty of room for a relaxed trainer, but that’s not what you need to meet your goals. Sucky position to be in. If it wasn’t prepaid, I’d say just walk entirely since it’s a recurring issue.

Good thing is that trainers tend to have a fairly high turnover rate, so he may end up not being there long.

I’m always the coolest motherfucker in the room, even when I’m also the motherfucker in the comfy chair snoring like a sasquatch with adenoid issues because I am also the sleepiest motherfucker in the room

IDGAF about five minutes in most circumstances. There’s just too much shit that matters way more.

If it was something that was a dealbreaker metrics because it fucked other things up for me, I’d want to know what the deal was, communicate that my needs weren’t being met, and decide to stay a member/customer based on that, but it’s not something that would bother me.

I refuse to be a fucking slave to the clock on my phone, and wouldn’t insist anyone else be either. Back before network clocks, we all did fine without and nobody died.

I mean, no update?

Amen to that. Keeping a sense of open communication is vital while kids are going to be experimenting and exploring. Not just their bodies amd sexuality, but definitely for those.

It’s a little weird for sure. But the whole “do not shove things into you that aren’t fingers or designed for it” conversation is a lot less disturbing than the potential disturbance of that hospital visit. For that matter, it applies to the “don’t shove yourself or rub yourself against anything not designed for it or on/in a consenting and legal human” as well.

I’ve known a few people that suffered injury from humping stuff that wasn’t wise.

Ignoring context, it would be unusual, but not inherently worrying. There’s plenty of mothers that help guide their daughters to an age appropriate sex toy, and some that will do the same for their sons. Rarer, there are fathers that will do so, but men have to worry more about external opinions about such. A mothers buys a dildo for their kid, the default assumption is that it’s weird, but not bad. A father does it, and the default assumption is that he’s over the line.

That being said parents should be the default source is advice about such things, because a bunch of young idiots (as opposed to old idiots) trying to advise each other about things they don’t have much experience with is a recipe for hospital visits.

In terms of general purpose guidance, and funding/ordering sex toys, there’s nothing wrong with a parent helping their kids in that way, assuming care is taken. There’s even an argument to be made that verbal instructions on safe use are even to be encouraged, and helpful hints aren’t exactly out of line (for real, a lot of young people masturbate in unhealthy ways that just a few sentences could prevent much trouble down the line).

In context, with the info you provided in comments, the mother in question is not being a good parent in this case, so it fits the word abnormal in the sense that it is unhealthy.

As I’ve been discovering what I strongly suspect is adhd within my own brain (undiagnosed, and likely will never pursue such), I think my analogy is that my cpu is over clocked and running hot. Plenty of ram usually, and the storage is plentiful but in need of a defragging; but that CPU is always churning, even when there’s no tasks assigned to it.

I’m also discovering that what I thought the H in adhd meant isn’t what it really means in practice. I always thought of it is translating to a physical expression, but it doesn’t, at least not for me. It’s pretty much exclusively internal for me.

I wish I could pretend to get them perfect every time, but I kinda cap out at 7/10. I’ve gotten to the point where the edges are always great, but nailing the centers isn’t as reliable.

My omelette game is amazing though! Been working on that since I was a kid. Don’t ask about the poached eggs though lol.

This recipe is pretty close to the one I use; I haven’t gotten around to digitizing some of my older recipes out of laziness.

One of the biggest factors in getting the centers crispy is the thickness factor though. After I’ve got them cut, I take a cocktail or highball glass, dip the bottom into sugar and gently flatten them a little more. Not enough the edges split, but just before they would.

If the flour is running a little more moist, I’ll decrease the amount of egg a touch by separating the yolk and decreasing it by half-ish. It’s one of those things that’s by feel though, I’ve yet to figure out a way to turn it into a precise measure because it’s all about his the flour feels before and during mixing. The difference is minor, but it seems to be the limiting factor in making sure the centers are crispy rather than crunchy or chewy.

That’s an absurdly photogenic cat

Tbh, if I can’t get them right, I’d rather have chewy than that half-ass crumbly texture too.

Sugar cookies need to be crisp, crystalline, not crumbly. The problem is that it’s all about getting that sugar/fat ratio perfect with the flour, and that’s hard to pull off since flour hydration varies based on environmental factors.

They’re one of those super basic kind of baked good that is so hard to really nail that it could be a test. It’s like omelettes; you have to really have your techniques and knowledge nailed down tight to make them great, and they’re easy to screw up.

But damn, when they do come out perfect, and they almost dissolve on the tongue leaving behind that buttery goodness, it’s a bit of magic. Not my favorite cookies by a mile, but still.
