The thing that really sucks about the North American housing market besides all of the lack of affordability everywhere thatâs not the middle of an abandoned corn field is that thereâs no in between options.
In most of the US and Canada thereâs detached single family homes with a yard and thereâs high rise to mid rise apartments. Very little in between.
Row houses, duplexes, large family sized apartments, etc. do exist but outside of a few locations theyâre unusual or only seen as something that poor people live in.
Thing is though that thereâs a market for these in between types of housing and they could really help with our density problems where cities are so spread out due to all the detached single family houses that it becomes expensive and environmentally problematic to get utilities to all of them.
I know that I would very much like a cute duplex or row house when I feel financially ready to have kids. Walking distance to a school and a bus stop, tiny yard for an herb garden and citrus tree but not so big that itâs a pain to maintain it, neighbors nearby, easy walking and biking access to the road, hopefully a playground nearby for my kids to use.
But that sort of thing doesnât really exist where I live and doesnât exist in a lot of North America. You either live in a small apartment or you live in a house and either way youâre probably forced to own a car.
Anyways our zoning laws in this part of the world are terrible and probably racist and I hate them.
most âprotect the childrenâ campaigns come with the implication that whatâs best for children is 1950s white christian nuclear families and rigid adherence to the status quo, and having been a children I can definitively say that is very very incorrect
since there is such an "english speakers who don't even try to pronounce a foreign mame correctly" epidemic, native english speakers often try to overcorrect and end up thinking they have a moral imperative to pronounce every foreign name correctly at all times. so i'm gonna hold your hand and look into your eyss as i say this: you can't. you can't pronounce every sound in a language you don't speak. and that's fine. it happens to the rest of us too. we won't be mad so long as you try your best.
Fun fact: due to the ongoing financial support from the people of tumblr, critically endangered pygmy raccoons being rehabbed in Cozumel are now able to get vaccines for deadly diseases like distemper and rabies before they are released.

so you said a while ago that plasma from blood is the lubrication that makes a vagina "wet" when aroused (correct me if my understanding is wrong ^-^),,,
is this why "the period shits" are a thing for some? because there's a lot of blood moving through from the uterus to the vagina, so not only is there a bunch of squeezing going on, but the anus is also lubricated somewhat by the plasma passing so close to that exit hole? or am i finding connections in things that aren't there?
thanks so much for all the random and weird questions you answer đ
hi anon,
good guess work, but not even close. "period shits" are triggered by prostaglandins, the hormones that induce contractions in the uterus to push out uterine lining. unfortunately, prostaglandins frequently forget to mind their own business and also cause some pushing in the bowels, leading to.... you know đ©
I don't mind questions like this, but I do want to issue a soft reminder that questions like this are pretty easy to look up and find an answer for with simple phrases like "cause of period poops." no need to speculate about plasma or wait for an answer from batmanisagatewaydrug when the information is out there waiting for you!

Why are you using chatgpt to get through college. Why are you spending so much time and money on something just to be functionally illiterate and have zero new skills at the end of it all. Literally shooting yourself in the foot. If you want to waste thirty grand you can always just buy a sportscar.
Iâm really starting to think you people donât understand what university is for. Youâre buying the accreditation that you can do these things. It doesnât matter how you do them.
I can assure you that how I place an IV catheter, an endotracheal tube, a splint, how I draw blood, induce anesthesia and calculate meds, and my actual knowledge of drug interactions and species limitations is of paramount importance and if I had chatgpt tell me how to do or about those things I would kill people's pets through my ignorance and incompetence
Okay this started out as a tag rant but I'm promoting it to the main post because there are two things I want to say here that are very important.
Firstly, even if it were true that by doing a university degree you are simply "buying the accreditation that you can do these things", it is absolutely critical to an institution's reputation that they only "sell" that accreditation to people they can verify can actually do the thing. An accreditation from any institution known not to verify that will rapidly become worthless.
Secondly, and more crucially...
For my undergraduate degree I studied mechanical engineering. These days, if you're designing a structure which needs to be mechanically robust you'll run computer simulations to check how strong it is. These simulations will tell you with a high degree of accuracy how much weight your structure will be able to support.
Do you know what I spent a huge amount of my degree doing? Learning how to do all the calculations that simulation does, by hand, on paper, from first principles. Will I ever need to do that again? Probably not! That's what the simulation's for. But it was essential that I learned how to do it, because as a mechanical engineer it is critical that:
I understand the limitations of the simulation, so that I set it up correctly and give it all the information it needs, and don't ask it to do something it can't calculate reliably
I have an intuitive sense of roughly what the correct answer should look like, so that when something goes wrong and the simulation spits out an answer that doesn't make sense, I can recognise that there's a problem and fix it instead of blindly accepting the number it gives me.
It's my responsibility to make sure I understand what I'm doing. And if I'm going to give anyone else a number a machine came up with for me, I'd better be 100% fucking certain I know that number's right, because if that number being wrong gets someone hurt or killed it's on me.
Itâs the final few days of the Bluminarmour Project! After some issues with Kickstarter letâs see how far we can get!
If you want to see fantasy tropes, historical movement and silly tricks tested in authentic full plate armour, please consider chucking a few quid over (or like and share this post):
Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.
Update on this:
Kickstarter removed my highest funding tier so I lost ÂŁ11k of funding since earlier today.
BUT
Iâve managed to get the deadline extended in light of this. So this might still happen!
Having someone ask ChatGPT in a meeting is like being a grown-ass professional adult in a room full of other grown-ass professional adults trying to solve a problem, while a colleague with one of those baby toys that makes animal sounds repeatedly presses the cow button. And we all have to stop what we're doing and listen to cow go moo and say "wow hm yeah that's not really what we're asking but the cow does definitely go moo, good thoughts"
Except increasingly the cow is being treated as a respected contributor to meetings as we pivot to a moo-centric business model that principally produces bullshit
hessy levinsons taft had passed away on january first. she was 91 years old at her death. a german-born jew, a professor for chemistry, and... the nazi party's "most perfect aryan baby" poster child.
Taftâs image appeared on the cover of a German magazine distributed on Jan. 24, 1935, after winning a contest organized by the Nazi propaganda apparatus to find the most beautiful Aryan baby. The photograph was taken by Hans Ballin, a well-known photographer in Berlin, who had been approached by the office of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi regimeâs propaganda chief, to submit images of infants for the competition. Ballin submitted 10 photographs, including one of Levinsons Taft, whose Jewish parents had taken her to his studio shortly after her birth. The baby won the contest, and her image was later reproduced on congratulatory postcards sold in German shops. According to Taft and her family, Ballin was aware that the child was Jewish and deliberately submitted the photo as an act of quiet defiance. In a 2014 interview, Taft recalled that her mother confronted the photographer after the publication. âMy mother asked him, âDonât you know we are Jewish?ââ Taft said. âAnd he answered, âI know, but I wanted to mock them, to make fools of them.ââ After discovering their daughterâs image had been widely circulated, Taftâs parents became fearful of being identified. They avoided taking her outside, and at one point her father was detained by an SS officer before being released. The family fled Germany in 1938 for Paris, but fears followed them there as well. In 1941, they escaped from France to Cuba, where they lived for several years before settling in the United States. [...]
Throughout her life, [Hessy] kept three original copies of the Nazi magazine that featured her photograph. âMy mother took them when we fled Europe,â she said. âShe hid them between pages of sheet music.â [...] Asked [in 2014] how she felt about being labeled the âmost beautiful Aryan baby,â Taft replied, âI feel revenge. I wish I could have said that earlier, when more Nazis were still alive.â

Ok girlies time for our prescription 1-2 hour walk, imagine we r all in line like Madeline
in an old website on the internet all covered in vines, lived some lovely little mutuals in two straight lines..
if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"
