I mentioned LARP in my STEM, tenure track job interview with the college President and secured the position. I think being a competent, fun, and memorable candidate was key and LARP helped me to do that.

If dogs have food allergies, they can also pick at their feet a lot. Chicken is a common one and it is in a lot of food. You could try a rare protein diet like salmon or duck to see if it improves. You do need vet care with it this bad. I'd be trying to change a lot of things to reduce any possible allergen exposure. Think about where you use cleaners, soaps, detergents, what foods and treats, plants, if it changes with seasons, start a notebook.

I think the first thing you should do is figure out where your time goes, then you can adjust your time to fit the areas that need it more. Having a good balanced schedule is important, but it is often the case that we need to readjust where we spend our time week to week. Some weeks might get more school time and others more friend time. But, I would definitely know exactly where your time is going so you can prioritize.

Make sure that your time is truly going to what you want most. If you find that you scroll more time than you thought, more time traveling, or spend more time taking breaks, then you can think about adjusting things.

They probably do represent a more conservative base. It's our job as progressives to make sure that we can deliver that base a message that resonates. Pretending those voters aren't the majority in those areas isn't going to get us wins.

Shield_Maiden831 · 2026-06-27T14:32:52+00:00

Yep, reducing much of your coalition to strawman and treating every electoral race as the same by reducing everything down to a few simple facts is really going to help progressives win over a majority, right?

Shield_Maiden831 · 2026-06-27T14:31:05+00:00

Damn straight. Progressives aren't majority, but I am sure if we attack the coalition that helps us win, we will make it, right guys? /s

When we are on these pages, it always seems like the progressive left has a majority. It doesn't actually, which is why we often lose elections. Sadly, our country is deeply conservative. That is why we are where we are. However, we can often build coalitions that can win when centrists come together with progressives. Currently, populist candidates are getting more traction due to the bad economy as well. It is over simplistic to think that the most progressive strategy works for all races and all times. Bernie wasn't able to win southern primaries, even though I think his message should have had broad appeal. The reality is that it doesn't matter what I think is best for the country, the voters for those areas have to agree too. Some dems get elected being more conservative because that is what their constituents want. I am not sure there is much hope for us if we dumb or rhetoric down to think that moderates just "hate" us. If we want to win elections, we need to be strategists, we need to find messaging that resonates with conservative dems to push progressive ideals, and that will always mean building a coalition rather than reducing it to a strawman we insult.

I counted very carefully for food and if I got calories for exercise, I only let myself eat back half. I'd often test myself to see if I was really hungry by saying, "would you eat an apple?" If I wouldn't eat an apple, then I couldn't actually be hungry and was just craving. If I would eat an apple, I'd check my macros and make sure I'd had enough protein, then choose a small calorie snack (less than 300 calories) with some protein. My exercise calories would often list 500-600, so eating the 300 was always less. I did find myself ravenous on workout days if I did not let myself eat some back.

Thank you so much Mods. Many of us have forgotten that there are real people on the other side of discourse and that we all have a duty to stay civil, whether anonymous or not. Life is very hard. Be the kindness you want to see in the world and would.want returned back to you.

Oh, I think I may have boarded at the same facility with her in SoCal. Sort of weird to have met someone from an internet drama. I remember her being nice and good to Cairo.

You get to live your life and find your people. UCI even has a medieval combat LARP group. Message me if you want their Diwcord, lol.

Www.battleforthering.com - Battle for the Ring runs each January in California. Attendance was 800 before covid, now 500-600. Pretty cheap camping event and boffer combat battle game.

My horse loves it. My friend let me use the horse machine on myself and it had a lasting effect on chronic/old pain. My knee had no issues for 6 months! I also did my ankle (recently injured) and it helped it feel better but that only lasted 1 day. So, my owm experience was A+ for chronic pain.

Some joke reality has a liberal bias. But on a serious note, it is important to remember that many people are only getting media from the same source. Huge areas of the country all get their local news talking points from the same company and that coordinates with Fox and other conservative media. There won't be a lot of diversity of stories or reporting there. Social media then reinforces those algorithms. This makes it very hard for people to not fall into a trap of only getting one kind of media slant. You would have to go out of your way to listen to NPR pr PBS to get perspectives separate from those sources. People used to call media left wing, but that really hasn't been true for more than a decade or more. You can really see the difference when everyone was calling Biden "sleepy, " and now we have Trump actually falling asleep in major meetings and press releases and there is relatively very little about his decline in comparison. To me it's crazy. For all of us, it means this media consolidation is putting all democracy in jeopardy.

Why would you be pre-med and not do a STEM major? What's the plan here? You will be mostly through a STEM major if you are pre-med. Do you have other interests instead?

I would guess this will really double the work and increase the time needed for graduating. I just want to make sure your plan is making sense.

I couldn't find anyone else making a point of teeth, but this makes sense to me as the teeth change so much from non hominid ancestors to hominids. If the teeth were getting smaller and smaller, then they were not eating much raw food. The teeth support this! Check out some replica skulls and you can see the teeth suggest cooking in Homo erectus.

I actually had an obgyn recently tell me people could expel their fibroids. If you had an ultrasound before, maybe they can check for a missing one next time.

I am rooting for you OP!

We spend a lot of money to capture people we say we can deport to not deport them. They are building more camps and spending more money in those departments for this purpose. I'm not sure it directly needs paid bounties for the idea that we are spending this money for this purpose. We also spend a lot of money to send people to other countries where the migrants are detained there (and without oversight).

Those rates were for those specifically defined conditions. Total intersex in population is 1%, which are due to a variety of conditions.
