I’ve tried ket twice, and the first time was unforgettable. I remember feeling so incredibly alone, even though I was at the biggest party I think I’ve been to. I need that interconnection you get from the other ones like lsd or mdma.

That whole paragraph is probably a commentary on my life lol

Psychedelics were instrumental in keeping me alive after the events that caused my ptsd in the military. But I really don’t think it was just the drugs, I think it was also that using the drugs usually meant being in a “safe” place. There are people who will try to abuse you under the influence of the drugs, but they aren’t (usually) welcome in the groups. I would give one or both of my arms to be able to go back to that time and place, but like the article brings up, I need some medication to keep me going that interacts with most of my psychedelic choices. (also, of all of them ket would be my last choice. I never understood why it’s so popular lol)

When trying to identify a plant, its characteristics are what you go by. This page has some that you can use for this plant, though you’ll need a dissecting microscope most likely for some things, like stamens (the things that have pollen).

I’m not in retail anymore, and I never did clothing retail, but working in theater costuming has really changed my ideas. Like, I know I am fat because at my height and weight my bmi puts me well in obese territory. But measuring people a few inches taller has put an interesting spin in my head. I know someone with the same bust size who is three inches taller and now I understand why some “large” sizes will fit both of us even though by size my cup is several sizes larger than her.

People have been telling me for years that I’m “not fat”. I know they are delusional because of the numbers, but seeing other people with similar measurements does actually put it into perspective.

My first time seeing them, it’s usually -20°F when they are here. I had no idea they changed so quickly! This made my entire life and I can die without regret now lol

Sometimes being my flavor of neuro divergent really sucks lmao. I do not have a favorite food. I don’t even really have a favorite flavor. I don’t even like to drink coffee multiple days a week, which is why I have a cabinet with 30 odd types of teas and tisanes.

I don’t even have a favorite texture or flavor profile of food. I definitely prefer bitter and spicy to sweet, but that’s about it. And I find the act of eating comforting in itself, but I have nothing I can point to as a comfort food.

Every animal I’ve had has reacted to my playing of a flute or ocarina. They ignore my piano and guitar tho lol

I think you can try both at the same time actually.

You got an awesome taste from your friends on what clothing design can be. Do you have a theater in your school, or a local professional one? You can try costume design for more of the “this is what it’s like as work” idea. I’m not going to lie, you might even find work as a sculptor in theater, but your background in sculpting will definitely feed your experience as a costume designer or even just in costume construction. So you could spend two years in consume construction as a hobby and decide that’s what you really do, then move into a master program with fashion design.

Unfortunately I’m very rural,so I can’t shop around. I live in a city, but it’s a joke to call it that. A competing service would come from two hours drive away, to put it in perspective.

The only tree is not really in a position to cause the issue, and it’s also the wrong type. It’s at least 70 years old and a conifer, but I’ll check when I find a plumber anyway thank you

It’s literally a basement drain just before it exits my house. Everything drains before it hits this point, if that makes any sense? I have no idea of direction, because I have the corner house, but tbh if I pry up the cover somehow it’ll be worth exploring

Edit: that type of snake isn’t even avaliable at the store 2 hours from me. Lol. I am now imaging like 50 people in my town owning one and not sharing and also never using them again

I know you’re right. I just really didn’t want this to be the case after having to spend 20+k in two years of owning this hous

I have a sump outside, but tbh I don’t know what a sump would do from where it’s leaking. Like, I can hear the water drain through the pipes and bubble up through this drain. I would assume a sump pump would drain into this pipe in the first place?

Idk. I’m a southerner, the whole idea of a basement is weird to me lol

Mostly I was worried about trying to roto the line myself. I got nothing from routing the line from the upstairs

It’s stupid if you edit the amount.

Edit: this used to be 5+. So view the other amounts OP edited with this thought in mind

Wouldn’t kewpie mayo work? It’s less tangy than American mayo and a tad sweeter

That might be the case since op and I are both on that instance

About 20% of my feed is missing images right now. I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, because it does seem to be happening more frequently.

I kind of wonder if it’s because the original poster is from an instance I’ve blocked

I have two perspectives to this. I once had several male Indian roommates and I honestly don’t remember them having a scent beyond “male”. I could pick up turmeric from one of them, but I think he used a turmeric toothpaste.

I’m white and afab (not on t at the time) and a decade after having those roomies, I had a half-Indian friend tell me I smell like her dad lol. I think curry odor might just stick to clothing, I make it a few times a week so I’m sure my whole house smells like curry to outsiders at this point

Often something like this is published and people don’t use the methods for the materials they are described with. It’s like taking the idea to make dough for baking specifically shaped bread, and using the concept to make specifically shaped ceramics instead
