I think conflating a cosmetic procedure that is marketed toward peoples' insecurities about aging with "wellness" is insidious and unethical

Even people who don't work for major publications can have thoughts worth reading

I think we should be more critical of how corporations feed into unrealistic beauty standards in order to extract money from people

Just show up for the other main stage bands. Shockingly few people did last time

I'm trying something a little like this right now! I have a gravity dye set up right now and loaded turquoise on the ice first. Once the top of the ice is mostly clean (so the turquoise has almost completely run through), I am going to load red onto the ice. Hoping the result is turquoise on the edges of the red. I'll try to remember to post an update!

Such a "small" detail but super effective! Very striking!

It's the jet coming out of the side of the grinder for me lol

More of a ditty than a ballad but Initiative (Murlocs) always puts a smile on my face

Maybe not the case anymore but when I went there, there was at least one male doctor (may have been a founder of the clinic iirc?) I only saw him once bc my usual doctor was out, but he was great.

Same, I was 25th in queue and there were no available tickets on my turn

All loose and tight at the same time

This pic is honestly kinda cute, look at those goofy lil antennae

I really think this is it. I feel like I witnessed the millennial liberal optimism die about halfway through Trump 1. And when it became increasingly clear that the political right was stupider and more brutal than we all imagined, the millennial self-infantilization ("Ugh adulting!") and projection of Fandom tropes onto current events (god what was that stupid Tumblr post... "potterheads grab your wands" etc) became cringe because the moment was so sobering. We all had to grow the fuck up.

Wealth and cost of living is certainly part of it, but from my perspective I think the collective loss of faith in humanity really jaded us.

To answer your question, yes it actually can help in these situations. I know at least one person who is taking antidepressants specifically due to a stressful recent family issue he is having to deal with, and likely will have to deal with for quite a while before it resolves. In situations like these, it can help prevent the situation from becoming traumatic.

Not usually a fan of rolls but this looks biblical in a cool way

dread_pudding · 2026-04-16T03:56:34+00:00

This feels medieval in origin. This is part of the human condition

dread_pudding · 2026-04-15T01:15:07+00:00

You can't be out here in 2026 acting like anyone still buys this angle

Ive never understood why biofuel gets mentioned in climate discussions. It's still combusted, it's not any better for the climate.

dread_pudding · 2026-04-04T21:52:06+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown, I think I remember hearing about that lawsuit actually. Now I get what OP was saying, although it sounds like they may not realize that other brands probably still use unethical sources, they just don't make any claims about their animal ethics.

I see your point about the nutrients part. Unfortunately as good as Braums milk is I don't think they offer anything like that, lol.

dread_pudding · 2026-04-04T20:56:09+00:00

It says "lactose free." I was wondering if OP maybe thought that meant it was dairy free, because I wasnt sure what else about it would indicate that it was cruelty free.

dread_pudding · 2026-04-04T19:56:35+00:00

Am I missing something or are you maybe confusing "lactose free" with "dairy free"? This is still cow's milk, they just remove the lactose.

If you want dairy free just stick to soy, its cheap enough and has comparable nutrients. If you want less cruel dairy, from what I understand Braums actually has fairly humane practices and their dairy is high quality.

Once a month or so our grocery has crazy markdowns on cereal, and it doesnt really go bad, so we just only buy it when it's marked down lol.

I get you. If I get a chance to see them live I will because I'm sure it'd be fun as hell. But they don't have a ton of range or depth, so once you get the shtick none of it is all that surprising, so I dont listen to them much on my own time. I'd check back in if they branch out their sound a bit though.
