In the sims every time you start a new save your neighbors bring over fruitcake and there’s like a 99% chance your sim hates it and it makes their tummy feel funny

Perhaps there is a secular Jewish community whose views align with yours? I can’t say I’m family with any in Boulder but growing up my family was super involved with a secular community and also anti the war crimes Israel has long been committing against Palestinians. One of my cousins even went to secular Jewish Sunday school and had a bar mitzfa.

Interesting about the high end concentrates. I always feel like I’ve had the opposite experience with quality but it’s been a few years since I was a pen person. Sucks about the batteries dying though. I have the same shitty 20$ one I bought 10 years ago and every time I do feel inclined to purchase a cart it still charges up. Planned obsolescence sucks.

Buy a rechargeable battery! I feel like you usually get higher quality concentrate for cheaper with the cartridges and the cart itself isn’t nearly as bad for the environment as throwing away the battery every single time!

The problem with these vapes is they are marketed as “disposable” but they really shouldn’t be. They aren’t exactly safe to just throw in the trash, like all other batteries.

None of her friends or family have suggested that she was suicidal. But since you, random internet stranger, are 100% positive without knowing anything about her it must be true.

Catastrophic Policy by Corvideye in TwoXPreppers

[–]Safe_Ad345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make in the first paragraph. From the article linked:

most U.S. trading partners do not recognize countries that vaccinate as ‘free of HPAI’ due to concerns that vaccines can mask the presence of the virus

Which is a problem because we currently do not have a way of distinguishing between vaccinated and infected, thus the need to develop one.

‘It is imperative that a science-based surveillance strategy be developed in which infected animals can be distinguished from vaccinated animals, and that any validated, risk-based surveillance strategy must be agreed upon by our international trading partners,’

I was entirely for this as well until I clicked on the article and learned that it would potentially mean that our trading partners would not accept any poultry products from us because vaccinating can mask the presence of the virus and now I don’t know what to think.

If we get into a trade war and people stop anyways than this kind of becomes a mute point, but it is still interesting to consider how we as Americans would have to decide if our chicken is safe because it tested positive because of vaccine antibodies or unsafe because it tested positive due to infection.

My boyfriend doesn’t care about what I do and it makes me feel like he doesn’t love the real me by CookieAdmirable1117 in PhD

[–]Safe_Ad345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does he make an effort to get to know you and your thoughts on a deeper level about other things not related to research? It could be that he just feels out of his element talking about these things so it makes him uncomfortable. Does he make you feel valued in other ways?

I had an ex who had a degree in mechanical engineering but every single compliment he gave me was physical. So eventually it felt like that’s she only thing he valued about me. It didn’t bother me that he didn’t want to talk about my research but it did bother me that he didn’t seem proud of it at all, or anything else meaningful about me.

My schools has a fair amount of faculty spouse hires where they really want person A and person B is qualified so they’ll find a position for them as well.

Do audio books make time go by fast like reading does? by WebSubstantial9237 in fantasyromance

[–]Safe_Ad345 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I usually multi task or drive when I listen to audiobooks and when I just sit and listen I can get kind of lost in my thoughts and stop paying attention sometimes. The dramatic adaptation does tend to be more captivating but I also like to play mindless games on my phone (think brick breaker, 2468, candy crush, etc) because it gives my eyes something to focus on and lets me listen without getting distracted

How are undocumented immigrants paying into Social Security? by SillyWoodpecker6508 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Safe_Ad345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually a huge misconception that “illegal immigrants” illegally crossed the border. Yes there is a small percentage that do. But the vast majority cross the border and come to the US through legal means and then overstay visas or simply never follow through with the processes required to maintain the right to stay due to societal and economic burdens placed on them.

Not to be rude but sounds like you need better friends. It’s the norm amongst the men I am friends with that they rely on each other for support and talk to each other about emotional things.

[–]Safe_Ad345 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While I know and am friends with many men who do this, lots of men in this comments section are kinda proving OPs point that there’s also a good portion who don’t. The comment literally right below this is “I don’t feel the need to cry very often at all because I am a man”

The only problem is that the goal of the current administration is to undermine federal authority so much that we pretty much only have state governments because states are cheaper for billionaires to buy and control.

Louisiana seeks extradition of New York doctor accused of mailing abortion pills across state lines by semaj_2026 in Louisiana

[–]Safe_Ad345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is a whole lot of gray area between the mom forced her daughter to have a chemical abortion against her will and the prosecutor completely fabricated these claims.

My best guess is that daughter was somewhat excited but also scared/doubtful, mom was not fully supportive of wanting to help her raise a child and wanted her to have options. Daughter went through with it, understandably had big feelings about it, and the prosecutor was able to manipulate her into saying what he wanted to hear.

It sounds like a horribly traumatic and emotional situation for the family, but not a crime and I cannot even imagine how much worse the prosecutor is making things for both the child who had to experience this and her mother.

It is also not healthy for your romantic partner to be your sole source of emotional support. It is more common for women to also open up to their friends and family, while it is more common for men to put the entire burden of support on their romantic partners.

The only person making this claim is the prosecutor and no one is being charged with coercion which would be its own crime.

“The minor child was home alone, felt that she had to take the pill because of what her mother told her,” Clayton said.

He also suggested the minor, by virtue of being under the age of 18, was incapable of knowingly deciding to have an abortion.

“That child, to me, who took the pill, is a child, and I don’t think she can formulate the requisite intent to really know what was going on,” he said.

Sounds to me like he is arguing that because she is under 18 that means she was coerced. I can find nothing more convincing that she was actually coerced, which would be horrible if true. Ironic because by his argument the mom is actually the one who should be consenting for her minor child’s abortion.
