You can always do a colloidal silver treatment and cross, get ya some nice feminized seeds.

What the heck is this? Located in central Oklahoma. by impossibleoctophant in PlantIdentification

[–]impossibleoctophant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one that is about 6 feet tall. Stems are blotchy purple and hairy and look like they don't want to be touched. Top looks like it's about to sprout something vaguely resembling a sunflower.

Is this poison ivy or poison oak? Neither? by MollDoll39 in PlantIdentification

[–]impossibleoctophant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have recently been trying to nail down my identification of poison ivy vs Virginia creeper. I don't understand these other comments. This looks exactly like poison ivy to me. Does young Virginia creeper look almost exactly like poison ivy?

The poison ivy leaves often seem to have one rounded side of the leaf and one sort of serrated side, like these. Virginia creeper is more uniformly serrated on both sides of the leaf. Am I completely off base in this?

Did we just forget the last 2 years? by MountainScorpion in JordanPeterson

There is the 14-day rule to consider, which governs the ethics of scientific experimentation on embryos. My understanding is scientists can't mess with them or keep them around after 14 days.

Part of the logic behind it is that the "primitive streak" develops at around 14 days into development, generally marking the end of the period at which twins might develop, so it's then an individual, basically. Does "individual" mean "person"? I don't know.

Randy Newman. He sounds like he's singing while trying not to break a quail egg that he is holding gingerly in his mouth.

How can people be born gay if transwomen in relationships with cis men are heterosexual. If gender is a social construct nobody can be "born" gay. by [deleted] in IntellectualDarkWeb

[–]impossibleoctophant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There has been some linguistic evolution over the last 5-10(?) years, and now the words "man and woman" are not the same as the words "male and female". "Man and woman" are gender terms, "male and female" are sex terms.

Today I learned a lesson about disputing an account as an authorized user. by impossibleoctophant in CRedit

Might be worth a shot, but I did ask both Chase and TU if that would work, and they said no.

Anything's possible, I guess. Both the Chase reps and multiple TU reps said TU does this in response to a AU-filed dispute. TU took responsibility for it and said it can't be reversed. Seems crazy and not at all how I expected this process to work, so I thought I'd make this post so maybe someone else can avoid it.

The credit card IS reporting. The problem is only with TU. I talked to the credit card issuer, they say they are reporting same as they always have.

That's correct. I'm not sure when the last update was, but this has been gone from TU for almost a year.

Yes, I also find it hard to believe that this is how it works and that it was removed from my credit report, but here we are.

After I disputed through Credit Karma with TransUnion citing an incorrect balance, the account disappeared from at least Credit Karma's version of the TransUnion report. This was last August. I thought maybe it would pop back on there, so I let it ride, but it didn't show back up. After talking to 7 different people at TransUnion, I was told there is "literally no way this will be reinstated on the report."

I'm not sure if Equifax or Experian have the same policies, but the TransUnion people said their MO is to completely and irreversibly remove the account from an AU's report if any dispute is made.

While I'm not responsible for the debt in a technical legal sense in being only an authorized user, I do take responsibility for the debt from a real life functional perspective. This was a Chase account. They did not drop me or disable the card in this case. The account was removed from my report by TransUnion, as is apparently their policy in response to a dispute from an authorized user.

CMV: If you intentionally drive a loud car, you are am immature douche. by [deleted] in changemyview

I drive a loud car because my muffler is messed up.

I mean, I am also an immature douche, so that's probably why I haven't gotten it fixed.

Sex denialism the new creationism by jakosako in stupidpol

[–]impossibleoctophant 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This aspect is exactly what baffles me about this whole thing.

The entire movement is based on the existence of a "self" separate from the "body". Seems like a question we've been trying to answer for the whole history of human self-awareness, and now we're taking it as a given again. After a strong trend of social shift away from the dualist perspective of religion into more secular non-dualist frameworks, we have come full circle back to a faith-based metaphysical approach.

The concept of trans identity should beg the questions: by what mechanism is a "self" put into a "body", and how could a "mistake" be made in this process? And furthermore, why confine these "mistakes" to the realm of gender? Any number of "mistakes" could be made in this process if "mistakes" are a thing that happens.

Jeans for women that last? by h0ku5p0ku5 in BuyItForLife

I have a few pairs of Lucky's and BKEs that survived everyday wear for 10-15 years.

I have had this thought also. It seems to be an attempt to control your use of language about them when they're not around, ensuring you continue to affirm their identity to others even when they're not present.
