Depends on the thing, how much money I have, and whether I think it’s worth it for the price they’re charging.

Like when I don’t have time to make bread I just steal it from loblaws.

I’m intrigued. Do you mean that you may experience it with five senses or that you must experience it with five senses?

Do you pay for clothes and eat them when they wear out? Do you taste and listen to household cleaners? Are silent things invisible to you, or do you use a form of echolocation?

No worries. Didn’t want you to accidentally imply anything you didn’t mean to.

Amazing! This is more than I expected, thanks for taking the time.

1. Super helpful. I have just enough chemistry know-how to understand. The resources I found were either over my head or not detailed enough, this is perfect.

2. I’m gonna try ALL the salts.

3. Good. Good to know. (oops)

4. Like if grass is the best dye but Big Green Dye doesn’t want us to know. Or if there was a way to make red cabbage explode.

5. Perfect. I already have a lot of leftover cabbage. I simmer it in salty vinegar water for a dye bath anyway. (Before I add the poison.)

bonus: I’m gonna try both of these today.

Thank you!

Edit: Follow up question, if it’s not too much. Do you know if there’s something that makes certain dyes adhere to plant based fibres better than animal-based and vice-versa? My cabbage dyes suck for wool (even trying different mordants, including alum which, from my observation, sticks to wool and the dye stuff,) but adhere to cotton and rayon very well.

I thought he was arisen from the bread.

That’s why we have unleavened bread during passover.

Uh huh. Have a good night.

1. Do not. The person you’re arguing with is saying a pedophile is not a rapist, never said it was fine, and you’re arguing with them.

2-3. See point 1.

4. Actually, the way we use the term Fetish colloquially is how the term Paraphelia is used in psychology. A non-con fetish is a paraphelia. The reason I used ‘non-con’ is because, like pedophelia, it can be redirected in legal forms of sexual expression.

What’s concerning is calling everything you don’t like or don’t understand concerning, and hinting that people arguing with you are pedophiles.

Again, you argued with someone who tried to point out pedophelia doesn’t make someone a rapist. You brought up the nature of a fantasy as a point of argument, which I responded to.

Your entire last paragraph is ridiculous.

I believe they were accusing you of having pedophelia, not referring to your neurodivergence.

Lots of people have non-con fetishes. Doesn’t make them rapists. Hell, who hasn’t thought about murdering someone, or robbing a bank?

Good fucking thing we don’t punish thought crimes.

Pedophelia is a paraphelia that requires treatment to manage/mitigate/overcome. Many people with pedophelia were young rape victims, themselves.

If we can all agree:

1. People don’t choose to have pedophelia, and,

2. We would like to have less people with pedophelia,

Then we can also agree there should be easy to access treatments for pedophelia.

People trying to destigmatize the paraphelia and promote access to treatment are doing a lot more to make the world better than the ones calling every pedophile a rapist, even if they never act on it.

Reads like he was arrested for being an asshat and they might have found drugs.

Those drugs?

a police search found “half of an orange oval-shaped pill with 3 imprinted on it, consistent with a Schedule II amphetamine”, and three “suspected cannabis cigarettes.”

So… half a dexadrine and three joints, the bare minimum for a night out in Canada.

That look means I’ve scoped a nice place to keep my strap-on.

This generation’s Enumclaw incident.

Holy shit I gotta try this oats in spring roll mix thing. Thanks for the tip.

I wrote that over three hours ago, not long after you commented. It was still up when I responded.

You should probably read it. It’s informative.

Yeah, and I just like the texture more. Sometimes I rice up parsnips with the quinoa for a pretty interesting texture/flavor. You can follow sushi rice recipes to prep it. I don’t cook the parsnips.

For filling I matchstick any combo of carrots, cucumbers, SPINACH, beets, peppers, whatever, and let 'em marinate in a tiny splish splash of tamari and sesame oil. Add avocado when rolling. Meat is optional but encouraged, if that’s your thing.

My smoothie:

1 banana

1 handfull of fresh spinach

2 big spoons of greek yogurt

1 big spoon of cashew butter

Squirt of lime juice

Enough almond milk to blend

Ice

optional: protein powder and collagen

Add-ons: berries, matcha, mango, salt, flaxmeal, coconut milk, chia seeds

Ooh good to know. I make a lot of quinoa sushi rolls, too. (also with spinach)

Got it, adding iodine to my smoothie.

I toss in greek yogurt(high in iodine) for that goodness and some citrus to get the iron from the spinach.

I’m not going to validate my right to be compassionate by proving I’ve known shit people and had shit experiences.

More to the point, I believe you’re referring to sociopathy and psychopathy when you talk about a lack of empathy, but that’s old science. Newer research shows improvement, especially with early intervention, in treatment of antisocial personality disorders. Psychiatric treatment of comorbities shows overall improvement in symptoms. And, recent studies on ASPD in neuroscience reveal that cognitive empathy isn’t a sliding scale, it’s a gamut, and it’s not even consistent within an individual. So IF someone has ASPD and we’re not just going to kill them, the best option is still evidence-based care.

It’s difficult to diagnose cognitive empathy disorders at a young age, but it’s possible the kid has a conduct disorder — which, along with ASPD, almost certainly has genetic groundwork but is strongly tied to early cognitive development (how he was raised,) and family history.

Regardless of what he has or where he came from, restorative justice is still more effective across the board socially and economically. I think of the worst people I’ve ever known when I consider my view of justice, and I still believe in restorative measures. I’m not only compassionate because I have empathy, but because evidence shows corporal punishment increases recidivism, exacerbates and often causes mental health disorders, and is ultimately an expensive monolith to an outdated belief in justice that isn’t based in fact.

Do I want every lying, cheating, violent piece of shit to face justice? Hell yeah I do. But I want that justice to be JUST and actually fix society instead of taking the bad and making them worse.

Sure, let’s take a messed up kid, who had no choice in how they were raised, with almost no worldly experience, who’s brain isn’t even fully developed yet, and throw them into a costly system almost guaranteed to turn them into a repeat offender.

I’d rather see people bitch about a lax system and see more reformed criminals than feel the short term thrill of retaliation.
