“If," [“the management consultant”] said tersely, “we could for a moment move on to the subject of fiscal policy. . .” “Fiscal policy!" whooped Ford Prefect. “Fiscal policy!" The management consultant gave him a look that only a lungfish could have copied. “Fiscal policy. . .” he repeated, “that is what I said.” “How can you have money,” demanded Ford, “if none of you actually produces anything? It doesn’t grow on trees you know.” “If you would allow me to continue… .” Ford nodded dejectedly. “Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.” Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed. “But we have also,” continued the management consultant, “run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut." Murmurs of alarm came from the crowd. The management consultant waved them down. “So in order to obviate this problem,” he continued, “and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and. . .er, burn down all the forests. I think you’ll all agree that’s a sensible move under the circumstances." The crowd seemed a little uncertain about this for a second or two until someone pointed out how much this would increase the value of the leaves in their pockets whereupon they let out whoops of delight and gave the management consultant a standing ovation. The accountants among them looked forward to a profitable autumn aloft and it got an appreciative round from the crowd.”

Dogs are into coprophagia, and they probably get some nutrients or beneficial bacteria or something from it, because it is instinctual. My parents dogs love to raid the litter box.

- Comment on Who? 1 month ago:
Yes, it’s a parasocial relationship. Basically, the consumers of this content are sort of getting a subscription girlfriend experience, which I guess is very appealing to men that lack the ability to attract women in the real world. It’s kind of like men who go to strip clubs.

A beard is like makeup for men. If done correctly, your short, neatly trimmed beard can highlight and strengthen your jawline and provide a contrast to emphasize hollow cheeks/cheek bones.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
The world is not well-equipped for dealing with people like this. He’s clearly a cluster B personality type, and desperate for attention. Good attention, bad attention, it doesn’t matter. This is reactive abuse, as he’s trying to provoke her to get a reaction. It may sound lame, but the best way to deal with this type of person is to completely ignore them. He is a child begging for attention. Don’t give it to him. Whatever he does should be viewed as trivial and be ignored. As he continues his concerted efforts and gets absolutely no reward for it, it will make him feel insignificant and look for his thrill elsewhere.

- Comment on Can mental health medication change nature of dreams? 3 months ago:
Absolutely yes, meds can impact dreaming and the nature of dreams. I don’t know what meds you are on, but prazosin is a blood pressure drug that is given of label to help people with PTSD. It increases REM sleep, which is when your mind works through issues you’re dealing with, and prazosin basically helps people work through their trauma. In my experience, my REM sleep approximately doubled, and my dreams took on a much more positive spin. Instead of being powerless in my dreams, I became much more of an active participant, “hitting back” when appropriate. It’s a great drug!
