I’m super curious what keyword would have helped here?

Bunch of gross old men in charge of things are gross: more at 11.

I’m glad you dudes are waking up to our reality tho :) welcome! We bake cookies! (Sometimes, if we feel like it.)

I read something yesterday that says no, it’s the usual FPTP. Only the primary was RCV.

Thanks, that means a lot to me :) I’ve definitely always viewed it as a participation trophy of sorts, but you’re right; my team was absolutely over the moon for me.

I always liked wrestling for the same reason, it’s an individual sport with camaraderie. Two chances to feel like a winner! Did it for 6 years, was a good time.

I found this tool via the free services everyone should make use of post. It’s a database to track locations. You can post them when you see them, maybe someone else will do the other stuff ;)

I live in a small town and we have fucking 7 of these things. At least.

“Well it’s wood, it’ll survive the elements. Besides, it’s not like I can bring it inside a building or anything so what difference does it make if it stays out there for a while longer, you know?”

Of all the days to not speak German! 😭😭

I never got a trophy for anything, but I did like the medal I got for my first wrestling win.. it wasn’t, like, any big thing, but we were against a specific school that has a good program, it was my first year, I was the only girl on the team.. and I won by techfall.

It was definitely a participation trophy of sorts, but it actually felt ok to get. It was engraved to read “for beating your [school] opponent, and first win”

We, as a team, lost to them. Badly.

Good call.

Hallucinations are fun, if they are purely visual and you know they are coming..

I have olfactory hallucinations as well as occasional auditory (related to migraines and headaches, not drug use) and those are just very mundane. Lol

I used to be like that, unable to dream/remember dreams. Turns out that was because I had nightmares and terrors and stress dreams and my brain simply didn’t want to remember them.

I took a shaman drug (that I won’t mention, because I absolutely do not recommend it for anyone ever, and regret taking it myself) over the course of many months, and it absolutely gave me the permanent ability to dream and recall, and even consistently lucid dream (I don’t recall dreams every day, but at least once a week now). I now have a whole town that acts as a hub to get to all the places I’ve dreamed about more than once. It’s kinda fun.

However, these dreams are massively emotionally taxing. I often encounter my mother (the point of the shaman drug is to interact with dead ancestors), so I’ve relegated her to a middle floor of “my house” so she’s easier to avoid.. those experiences are.. just so overwhelmingly taxing. They do help with some closure stuff even tho I know it’s just my brain making up both sides of things, but it’s draining all the same.

Oh sure, 8 at a time, even, though they can only get good leverage on three at a time. Also lots of arms for picking crops, so you can see why they’d want to bring those farms here. Very cheap labor.

So my car is well old enough to not have this problem and I thus have no reason to know it, but would that fix a failing battery that won’t take a charge? Even enough to get the doors unlocked, I guess?
