Oh good. That makes more sense.

They wash their vegetables with soap? Like… special veg soap or just like Dawn or something?

A friend of mine solves this by meticulously peeling the caps and discarding the stems. It seems like a lot of work to me. I use a mushroom brush to get the dirt and substrate/manure off and call it good.

The language they use there would be hilarious if it wasn’t, you know, horrible. Men against girls. Like there’s a bunch of surly 35 year old men, absolutely dunking on a team of 5 year old girls just doing their best!

I feel like not enough people know why we’re even hearing about this issue. In 2019, a conservative think tank did focus groups and figured out that trans women and girls competing in sports against cis women and girls would be the most upsetting social issue for middle class suburban women and conservative democrats. It did better at swaying votes than any economic issue, and tested well in local elections, so they took it to the national scale. It was never about the athletes.

When Schilling considered the range of issues making centrist voters and suburban parents uncomfortable, the one that stood out to him was transgender rights: an issue that had largely been absorbed into the Democratic platform, but which he suspected many Americans were still processing themselves. But what was the right angle to take? Earlier that summer, American Principles Project had partnered with a behavioral science firm to assess whether focusing on transgender issues could turn educated suburbanites into Republican voters.

APP and its data partner, Evolving Strategies, analyzed how thousands of registered Kentucky voters reacted to different messages about what they described as Beshear’s “extreme” support for transgender rights. Should men be allowed to participate in sports events for women and girls? Andy Beshear thinks so. Should men be permitted to use women’s restrooms because they identify as transgender women? Andy Beshear thinks so.

“What we found was the sports issue got the most powerful response from people, specifically conservative Democrats and independents,” Schilling would explain to me later.

“We wanted Bevin to win, but more than anything, we wanted to test this out before trying it at a much larger scale. Now, donors understand that although we came up a few votes short in Kentucky, this can still work. This is persuasive,” Schilling said.

I’m a caregiver for a man who needs coaching through the entire bathroom hygiene process and I can say that in my professional opinion, Dude Wipes are terrible. They pull apart just getting them out of the package (see below), let alone when someone with dexterity issues tries to clean their butthole with them. He ended up with a poop covered hand after pulling the bits of pulled apart dude wipe out from his butt.

They are the largest “flushable” wipes, but are smaller than a normal baby wipe. Flushable wipes shouldn’t be flushed anyway, they’re terrible for every type of sewage system.

I live in Northern California and every time articles about Cascadia come out I have nightmares for a few days. Then I forget about it again. Unfortunately, I think this is also the attitude of the people in charge of infrastructure and earthquake resilience. To be fair, they’ve got their hands full with wild fires and like, being baby sacrificing socialist pronoun witches or what ever us Left Coast-ests are getting up to these days. We have a good time though.

Looks like that one hasn’t been specifically researched. But where I go they do “Platelets Plus,” so as you’re eligible they take an additional bag of either red cells or plasma. So, unless the all toxins are all in the white cells, it should do the job.

I know someone who does. He lost all his teeth by 30. No water ever, only pepsi. Though, given the rest of his diet, he may have literally had scurvy, so it could have been that, or a combination of the two issues.

I’m pretty sure one of my neighbors is trying to hide their after work (drive home) drinking habit from their spouse. There is a liquor store on the way into my neighborhood and I’m pretty sure they stop there, get several mini shot bottles and drink and toss them as they go on the way home. I pick them up on my walks, but I swear to god if I ever see the asshole do it I’m gonna save them up and leave them on their doorstep with a note.

There may be a smell that you are not aware of.

Or platelets every two weeks, woo!

That’s not the issue.

You’re not posting memes. You’re posting links to a blogspot. It’s not the same thing. And you’re cross posting them to so many communities. Please stop.

Please stop spamming cbnumy content here (and there and everywhere). No one wants to be redirected to a blogspot just to look at a stupid meme.
