It’s definitely worth your time, not like Kings other books, more dark fantasy adventure than horror. I enjoyed the first few books in high school and finished the series as they came out in the following decade. Quite a trip and very original and deep worldbuilding.

I’m not on Bluesky, what downsides are you seeing in their app?

No Fark? No Plastic?

Non-compliant patients who “do their own research” on the internet.

In the US they advertise drugs directly to us, we’re expected to do our own marketing-guided research to speed along the transaction.

I was picturing a graphical map with circles for the communities at different sizes for the amount of traffic. It could be based on proximity for how much overlap there was in user posts and comments, and also by category, color the circles by instance maybe too? Like make it waaay more visible and accessible than Reddit. Somebody must have the chops to make something like that here, right?

Fair and kind words, thank you. Pleasant days to you, friend.

A lot of the people that did inspections like that likely retired because of the pandemic, there’s a huge loss of institutional knowledge that’s happening out of view in so many fields.

There was a Lemmy post about Telomir Pharmaceuticals a week or so ago, they’re developing a drug that’s supposed to regenerate telomeres and it was showing decent results in canine trials.

3.8 ounces? Yikes, that does seem low.

They moved against the gays when abortion stopped being such a wedge issue, which itself replaced school integration to turn out the bigot vote.

Are the Dharmic faiths particularly inclusive of queer folks? Or just by comparison? I don’t know about Buddhism but China is somewhat antigay, and it’s not like the Kama Sutra had any gay stuff in it, and with all the erotic Hindu temple art I’ve never seen any gay stuff going on. Happy to be corrected if I’m wrong in my amateur assessment here

Wait, are cocoa pods beans? What even is a bean?

Although the polls have a 3-6 point spread favoring Kam nationwide depending on who you ask, it doesn’t seem insurmountable for the party of dirty tricks and ratfucking. Plan for a surprise Trump win unless Harris Walz starts pulling out all the stops and endorsing further left policies and putting on a harder charm offensive.

Brand and model recommendation(s), please

I was like, wow cool. Then I saw John Candy! I’ve got to see this!

Nobody wants to promote 988 in this thread? Smdh

It should be mentioned that while the U S. Army has rebuked Trump for his actions, the woman who was pushed was an Arlington National Cemetary employee.

So weird that he’s going after McKinsey here…

You have women who think that truly the liberationist path is to spend 90 hours a week working in a cubicle at McKinsey instead of starting a family
