- Comment on How bad were the asylums that Reagan closed in his tenure? Were they really that bad? Did no one take a look at the staff and bed side manner? Or was it really like Born On The Fourth of July? 1 week ago:
I used to do care for developmentally disabled people, and one of the clients my agency worked with was in a surviving mental institute in the late 90s. In some aspects, it was better than some of the stories might suggest. They got her on the right meds at the right dose, which let her regain independence with minimal support.
However, they did pull all her teeth upon admission because it was cheaper than fixing them. They issued her one pair of dentures, and failed to replace them when another patient broke them. One of the first things she did after getting out was to get new dentures, and she cried when she finally had teeth again and didn’t need to be on a blended food diet any more.

The only reason I got my driver’s license is because the bus was over an hour late and I missed an interview. The transit agency had the gall to tell me that I should have taken the 6am bus for a noon appointment if it was so important the 9am bus was on time.

Depends on how you do it, really. Most of the candy color dyes these days are semi-permanent or temporary colors, so they don’t have the same harsh chemicals that permanent dye used to have. The most dangerous chemical in the process is the peroxide bleach, and you can get really gentle formulations of that now for bleaching your mustache.

My parents were involved in a cult, and I never would have made it out if I didn’t have normies on the internet telling me that being in a mass marriage ceremony to Jesus at 17 was fucked up.

- Comment on Cats are wise 3 months ago:
I’ve trained my cats to come to a dinner bell. Now, instead of yelling at me for food, the youngest cat has figured out how to ring the door chimes when he’s hungry.
On the plus side, if my cats ever accidentally get outside, the bell is loud enough to hear across the neighborhood, so I can summon them.

Every time I’ve seen this, it’s been on my phone and I’ve always thought it was the shadow of a drone.
Now I’m seeing it on a bigger screen and can finally tell what it is.

You could say that they ate and left no crumbs, but I don’t think bread that thin would leave crumbs to begin with
- Comment on Would it be silly of me to get a small dog if I am a little afraid of bigger ones? 3 months ago:
I’d hold off until you actually feel comfortable handling a dog. You can volunteer at shelters or babysit a friend’s dog or something, but you’ll need to train your dog, and being afraid will make that a lot harder.
Training a dog is one part training yourself. Your dog will look to you for guidance, so it’s helpful for a professional trainer to show you how to communicate with your dog. There are private trainers, but the most affordable method is in a group with various other untrained dogs.
- Comment on Apparently they are actually for birds??? 3 months ago:
how they have survived as a species is a mystery to me
Domestication is how they’ve survived. They’ve got odd little nests because they’re from a warm area and they really just need a few sticks to keep the egg from rolling out of the cliffside pockets they naturally nest in.
We’ve transported them to areas they never evolved to live in, set them loose, and mock their struggle to survive.

For one, you need proof. No reputable newspaper is going to report on “I heard that…” without anything to back it up.
Any reputable media will want to know how you know about this, and they’ll want to verify its accuracy.

Fed is best.
If you can breastfeed, that’s fantastic! But don’t be ashamed if you’re struggling to produce milk, it’s quite common and you shouldn’t avoid formula out of fear. It’s far worse for a baby to go hungry!

- Comment on Is trying weed edibles worth it? 4 months ago:
It’s a toss up. Either it’s going to be a fun time, or you’re gonna accidentally overdo it and get sick. MIL was a og hippie, and she got sick after smoking again for the first time since Woodstock because everything is so much stronger than it used to be.
