No, but I spent a few years working at a mom & pop ice cream place, and that ruined store bought for me for awhile. It tastes oddly waxy compared to homemade.

Some flavors I remember were coffee made with cold brew, honey + sunflower seeds, and lavender. Lavender was surprisingly good, made by steeping lavender in milk like you would a tea.

In Mexico, a population of 23 million dogs has been estimated, with 70% of them classified as street dogs or stray dogs. Source

I hope they’re able to develop animal control programs soon to combat this.

Well look at it this way, at least it was ruined ahead of time and you didn’t end up eating meat that had been sitting out at room temp for 2 days.

Smh this site got me contemplating eating 12 different kinds of cat food in a cursed taste test

I know this is a few days old, but thinking about it again, I’m reminded of this clip I saw from Orange is the New Black. To summarize, the clip is a flashback to explain how Suzanne (“Crazy Eyes”) wound up in prison. She’s an autistic woman whose sister/caretaker leaves her alone for a weekend, without arranging alternative care, to go on a vacation. She befriends a child, who she seems to connect with easily as they are on a similar mental level, and the kid follows her home to hang out and play video games. After the child says it’s time for him to go home, she becomes upset, blocking the front door to prevent him leaving. He attempts to call 911 and she grabs the phone and hangs up, confused, telling him that he should only call 911 for emergencies. Panicked, the child attempts to crawl out a window to escape, accidentally falling to his death.

What would you say is more important here, intention or perception? I think it depends on who you are. For the child’s parents, perception matters more. Their child is dead. That Suzanne didn’t intend for it to happen is of little consolation. For Suzanne, maybe intention matters the most. For the courts, both matter; she’s proven herself unsafe to be around to the public, yet the fact she didn’t intend to cause harm is supposed to be taken into account too, perhaps for lighter sentencing. In a better world, she would be given help instead of incarcerated because of her intention, and perhaps her caretaker would be held partially responsible.

Yes, you really shouldn’t eat tuna more than like 2-3 times a week because of the mercury content.

hopefully that will push for more denials to follow

The article says the next Fox station to seek license renewal won’t do so until 2028, so that’s a bummer.

They are both equally important. However, we tend to judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behavior. Considering this, I think it’s important to continually try and understand the intentions of others, and consider how our actions might be interpreted by others.

Hmm, that’s not how they work in my state. You either pay 100% of the bail yourself, or you pay 10% to a bondsman and they cover the other 90%.

Does anyone know why he used a bail bond company? Seems weird. Does he really not have the $200,000?

Never heard it called a “bum-gun” before. Thank you for the mental image of someone pointing a supersoaker at their asshole. 😂

@Driftking@lemmy.ml What have you been telling these women?

Oh, I had no idea. Thank you.

I have a tickle phobia. My incredibly abusive ex boyfriend used it as a method of torture. It’s surprisingly effective. He would sit on top of me so I couldn’t escape and keep going and going. I just remember not being able to breathe and blind panic.

So yeah. Not a fan. Makes me have panic attacks.

Absolutely wild, apparently a local restaurant owner had a beef with this newspaper for some reason, and I’m guessing she has connections with the police department (especially since they were letting her drive on a suspended with impunity). Context leading up to it:

I tried a bunch of different antidepressants. Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, Lamictal, Abilify. None of them helped, just kinda made me feel number and more tired. I gave up for a few years. Then I tried Celexa and it worked. It was like night and day. Holy shit, life is so much better now.

So try not to feel discouraged if you’ve tried medication and it didn’t help. There’s a ton out there, and more being developed all the time.

This is why I recommend dialectical behavioral therapy. It teaches mindfulness and radical acceptance to reframe your relationship with your emotions in a more healthy light, and also solid techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. It helped me soooo much.

Edit to add: there is a lot of free DBT material on the internet that you can pursue without a therapist, if there are none available to you at the moment.

I’m reading this from beehaw, I believe we’re federated with lemmy.ml. But I don’t think we want him if he’s just gonna insult people without even articulating what’s bothering him.

My sister used to call the lottery a tax on stupid people.

I only had an account on kbin for a couple weeks before I got fed up with the trolls and bad faith arguments from other instances and jumped ship to beehaw.
