Surgery isn’t the only solution, there are medications, like Finasteride, that actually prevent hair loss by blocking the hormone that causes it. But some people do just have thick gorgeous manes their whole life without help.

I used to know someone who drove one almost like this. It was a RAV4 though. He was a swole short stack with bouncy blond curls who was always laughing and flirting and the car fit his personality to a T.

If you’re ever feeling too confident in your appearance, go through the Target self check and watch yourself on the screen. I’m a pretty normal looking person, but goddamn… not at the Target self check. Maybe people steal less when they feel bad about themselves…?

There is no ink involved, the spores make the print.

There are a few in my town and it’s really hard not to stare as they go by, even after seeing them around a bit. I imagine a few accidents have happened by now because people can’t stop rubbernecking and going “Holy shit, it looks even stupider in real life!!” >> crash.

Three times per day to three times per week is considered “normal.” You’re both fine.

We are talking about actors, specifically Courtney Cox. Your weird island idea is the straw man in this conversation.

The idea that she should age in a way that continues your “crush” on her or else “disappear from the public” is continuing the policing of women’s bodies that I am referring to.

Oh fuck off. Actors who are famous for their faces have no good path forward. They will be criticized regardless, either for “letting themselves go” or “getting work done.”

“Age gracefully” means “get work done that I can’t clock, because it hurts my feelings to acknowledge that faces change in aesthetically displeasing ways as people age.”

I’m really sick of this pseudo-feminist policing of aging women’s faces.

Oh dear.

If he doesn’t have a hat with a lil spinny light on top I’m going to be very disappointed.

It’s not nearly as bad as the YouTube commercial I keep seeing with someone trying to wipe chocolate pudding off a peach. It’s very… visceral. I have no idea what it’s for.

Earth First! was widely known for its tactics. It generally eschewed the lobbying and political deal-making associated with mainstream environmental organizations. Instead, its activists typically engaged in nonviolent direct action, such as civil disobedience to block environmentally harmful activities and “monkeywrenching” (the sabotage of machinery involved in environmental destruction). In the first years after the group’s formation, the use of direct actions—standing in front of bulldozers and putting spikes (e.g., metal rods or nails) in trees to prevent them from being cut—brought national news coverage to Earth First!. The group subsequently grew.

I dunno, I’ve had garlic Parmesan ice cream and it was pretty good. The first bite is very strange until your brain recalibrates to not expect sweet. Not sure about the texture of frozen cabbage… very pretty though!

When Justice Kavanaugh had his senate hearing before he was confirmed for the Supreme Court and he was accused of being a frat boy rapist he defended himself by going on about how much he likes beer. One senator asked him if he ever drank so much he didn’t remember what happened and he replied with “HAVE YOU?!!!”

Lol, same. Oh wait… fuck… I’m 40.

I could see this being useful. Not everyone who uses a wheel chair is paralyzed. Some have balance issues, or limited strength. Dividing the effort between arms and legs could give increased independence and it would be more ergonomic than scooting with the feet like a lot of people end up doing in wheel chairs.

Sure, it’s not super different from a recumbent bike (and seems to lack a steering mechanism) but if the pedals could be folded out of the way it could be easier for a person with mobility issues to get in and out of.

If toxoplasmosis is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
