Living in the USA seems harrowing

It depends heavily on where you are in the US. I grew up in a crime/poverty stricken area, and gun violence was pretty much a daily thing. But the town I live in now has literally never had a single act of gun violence. We all have guns, but we use them for target shooting and hunting. Moving to the woods from an inner city was like night and day. Growing up, if I heard gunshots I knew that someone was getting hurt/killed. Now if I hear gunshots, it’s just the neighbors practicing for deer season.

They’re only real if you’re a journalist. The random sheep who pre-ordered them are never gonna get theirs. Mark my words.

There’s a reason her nickname is ATM, and it has nothing to do with money.

From the article:

None of this is illegal as currently constituted, because the permit that was written does not require monitoring for the things the independent lab found.

No law is being broken. This may be terrible, but it’s legal.

I eat at least 2 blood oranges a day, sometimes 5 or even 6. They taste so damn good, and they’re relatively cheap ($1.49/lb). I literally always have at least 4 pounds on hand, but I just restocked, so I’ve got 12 pounds at the moment. Sometimes, in the summer, I buy extra so I can juice them. Then I mix the juice with pomegranate juice, and pour the mix over ice in a kala namak rimmed glass. Vodka optional.

There are a ton of them available on ebay.

You could read the article to find out. The link is right there at the top of the page.

It’s very painful.

It got my location wrong. It got my GPU wrong. It said I never left the tab, even though I left it to start this comment. It said I moved my cursor 111 times in 74 seconds, which is absolutely false.

That site is just pointless. Pretty much the only things it got right were my time zone and my browser.

CHS is 100% a real thing, my wife has it. If she smokes more than a bowl a week, she will scromit. She developed CHS about 18 months after she first started smoking with me. I’ve been smoking for about 40 years, and I’ve never developed CHS. We’re not sure exactly why some people get it and some people don’t, but it is a real phenomenon that can happen to some cannabis users.

I’m pro-weed, pro-legalization, and generally in favor of personal freedom. But pot is not for everyone. It makes my wife incredibly sick. My (adult) daughter gets panic attacks from smoking pot, so she abstains.

It’s entirely possible. I could vomit 3 feet away from you, and all you’d hear is the puke hitting the floor. I developed the ability to stealth vomit when I was a secret alcoholic and didn’t want people to get suspicious.

Speaking from personal experience, I live in PA and I have a medical card (which is incredibly easy to get FWIW). I only buy lab tested dispensary bud. My wife developed CHS smoking with me. I did not develop CHS, and we were smoking the exact same product.

It’s probably different for different people. I smoke a fat bowl every morning, and sometimes a second one at night, and I’m fine. I’ve been smoking for about 40 years. My wife was smoking a gram or two a day for roughly 18 months, and she developed CHS. She took a month long t-break, and the symptoms went away. Now, if she smokes more than once a week, they come back, so she only smokes with me on Monday nights.

GenX here, I have a streaming service (Paramount+) for exactly one reason: It comes for free with my Walmart+ account, which I use frequently. Every 6 months I switch between that and Peacock, since both are free and I can change my choice twice a year. So I watch what I want on Paramount+ for 6 months, then switch to Peacock for 6 months, rinse and repeat.

As far as a lifetime subscription to Nebula, I’ve watched way too many sites fail/die to consider a lifetime subscription to anything on the internet. They could shut the site down tomorrow, and now I’m out $500 ($300 if I happen to get a discount from a creator code).

KFC is trash in 2026. Greasy, soggy chicken, and for $35 you get a bucket of chicken that’s only about half full, 4 somewhat decent sides, and 4 dry ass biscuits which are only made somewhat tolerable if you add their “buttery sauce” (they legally can’t call it butter, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s illegal in the rest of the world). The combo doesn’t even come with drinks. The potato wedges are pretty good TBH. The Mac and cheese is bland, overcooked, and stodgy. The mashed potatoes are clearly powdered and reconstituted. The gravy is just brown salt water. KFC gravy used to be fucking AMAZING like 30 years ago. Now I wouldn’t feed it to a dog I was mad at.

Back in like 2010, it was actually decent. I used to go there like 3-4 times a year, and I enjoyed it. Back in the 90’s, that shit was fire. I would eat there pretty frequently. I had their Buffalo chicken sandwiches for lunch more than once a week. They weren’t anything fancy, just a small chicken fillet dipped in Buffalo sauce, slapped on a bun with some shredduce.

If I want fried chicken, I’m going to a local spot. The price is better, the food is better, and I’m not squirting fake butter out of a packet onto a biscuit that’s dryer than the Sahara. Plus, their meal deal comes with 4 fountain drinks instead of 0.

TL;DR: Yes, KFC is terrible in the USA.

Don’t talk about your mental health with an AI seems like pretty basic common sense to me

And as we all know, people in the middle of a mental health crisis always act logically and make good decisions.

Newborns don’t have good stores of vitamin K. The placenta does not give an infant a lot of vitamin K because it can affect bone growth and development. So it needs to be supplemented after delivery. Babies only drink milk, and if they drink breast milk or formula, neither has good supplemental vitamin K.

Adults also can’t get enough vitamin K from milk. Adults get vitamin K by eating foods that are rich in it, like green leafy vegetables, blueberries or kiwis. Besides finding it in foods, adults also get vitamin K from helpful gut germs (i.e., bacteria) that aid in digestion and gut health. The intestines of babies lack those bacteria because they are still growing. For these reasons, we need to give it to them.

Sambucha actually bought one of these, filled it with iced tea, and put it on. IIRC, his main complaint about it was the weight. Also, the straw was finicky and he spilled a good bit of tea all over the place.

When I was little, my mom used to send me to the store with a note that said to sell me cigarettes, and that they were for her. When I started smoking, I used to reuse the notes to get my own smokes. I got my first fake ID at 13 so I could buy beer.
