You have fallen through reality into the Trekrooms.

Seriously? I just got mine done using the paper method and it was so annoying! Hope this is still around in 10 years.

I'm looking at it the other way. He'd probably use it to fundraise and rally his base. Better to delay so he can't juice it.

Pumping room? You mean the closet with the free yummy milk?

I'm not vegan but I eat plenty of incidentally vegan meals, and all of the best ones have been the ones that weren't trying to imitate another food. They just can't get the texture right and I'd rather not eat some squishy disc of beans and wheat while trying to convince myself it's a burger. It's not. I know it's not and pretending doesn't make it any more of one. Give me a good soup or curry or pasta dish instead.

Hanging around the chive flowers in my garden this morning and loving watching all the little bitty bugs! There was a honeybee, sure, but also lots and lots of sweat bees and parasitic wasps and butterflies and ants too.

Depends on the state. Some states are near impossible to get unemployment in. Others, it's almost impossible for them to deny you unemployment outside of being violent or stealing from them. Know your state's unemployment laws and use them to your benefit as best as you can.

Hey, it's me, the annoying kid. Sorry about being right and also breathing near you.

Musk wants the Terran Empire, not the Federation

Dan Savage coined the term "gold star pedophile" in a column years ago, referring to people who acknowledge their attraction to children but never act on it by harming a child or accessing CSAM. I do feel bad for these people because there are no resources to help them. The only way they can access actual therapeutic resources for their condition is by offending and going to jail. If the pedophile goes to a therapist and confesses attraction to children, therapists are mandated reporters and will assume they're going to act on it. An article I read a few years back interviewed members of an online community of non-offending pedophiles who essentially made their own support group since no one else will help them, and nearly all research on them is from a forensic (criminal) context.

There's a pretty good article by James Cantor talking about dealing with pedophiles in a therapeutic context here.

Don't get me wrong - I think offenders need to be punished for what they do. I unfortunately have a former best friend who has offended. He's no longer in my life and never will be again. But I think we could prevent offenders from reaching that point and hurting someone if we did more research and found ways to stop them before it happened.
