I kinda dig the bland crust. Not for eating, but for not eating. Like, sometimes you’d rather your calories come from toppings, and saving the crust for the next day to dip in those shitty marinara cups when you’re tired as hell is a good thing.

Like, not often, but sometimes.

Then again, we don’t do pizza often, and it’s usually when all adults are fucking wrecked via some bullshit or another that pushed us past our limits (both me and my wife are disabled, and my dad is old as fuck lol). If we want pizza to really enjoy I make it myself, or order it from the two yankees that set up a shop in town.

Yeah, I’ll echo the soulseek suggestion. It’s trivial to find anything but the most obscure stuff, and even that’s possible. I have something like 4tb of total shared files, of which about 2tb is music, almost all in flac format, with acceptable tagging standards. And I’m a lightweight on soulseek.

Throw in musicbrainz to flesh out the tags, and you’re good to go.

Just be sure to share some of your stuff back, and you’re set. There are people that won’t let you download from them unless you’re sharing, so it matters.

Lemme sprinkle some rizz on ya.

It’s a totally real thing. And those of us with massive amounts of it can spurt it onto others in volume, resulting in some serious trance.

Which is funny, because with enough rizz, you can spurt some serious jizz onto others, resulting in some serious results as well.

What’s kinda funny is that the Christian version relies on faith in an outside authority to make moral decisions.

southsamurai, to asklemmy in Would you choose invisibility or teleportation?
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, teleportation solves way more real life problems than invisibility does.

Invisibility in the real world, for a civilian, is really only good for pranks and crime. Which isn’t exactly a bad thing, but teleportation can do all of that and more.

It is such a bad movie, too. Like, if they’re going to do that, you’d think it would be a great film, but nooooooo.

Eh, it’s part politics, but also part the way he treats people, including his children. Not a good person outside of his public persona, if all reports are true.

We’re not talking some kind of rapist here, just being an asshole to people that he had no need to be an asshole to, mostly employees.

The political shit is absolutely true, btw, he’s made the statements supporting the ccp and against Hong Kong independence publicly, but I don’t really count that against someone that lives in and/or is from the areas, just not my business (regardless of disagreeing).

The other stuff is fairly well known, but it’s mostly “alleged” because there’s no proof for every bit of it. But you can find the parts about him and his son easy enough, and make your own judgement there.

If some lady brought out a conversation that fucking awesome, I wouldn’t want a second date either. I’d fucking propose. Well, would have. There’s very little sexier than enthusiasm and a love of knowledge.

And no, not literally propose, and it would hopefully turn into a second date, but that’s no fucking fun to open up with in a comment, ffs, you fucking pedant.

So, um, has anyone else just developed a new fetish?

@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

Waaay less. I’ve never heard of any issues with it being a common thing at all. Tbh, I’ve never known anyone to get tagged for it. I never have, even before I started using a vpn for everything.

Well, I can’t use the stuff personally. Kicks me into anxiety spirals.

But, I know a shit ton of mj enthusiasts because I’ve always been friendly about it anyway.

The degree of reaction you’re describing isn’t common. But it does happen. Herb being a natural product, there’s variance in exactly what balance of canabinoids are there, and there’s always the non-zero risk of additives if you didn’t grow it yourself.

Plenty of people will smoke a J specifically because it makes them sleep easy, but directly passing out is rarer to find. From what I’ve run across, that’s usually a sign that there was something else in it. In the instances I’ve run across it happening otherwise, the person had something else in their system that did it in combination. MJ is typically going to spike heart rate and blood pressure, not drop it, so a sudden and severe drop would be a very unusual event.

So, I suspect that the festival joint was not just weed. People have been known to mix their stuff and not warn others. If that wasn’t the case, then I’d suspect an interaction with a medication you’re taking, but (being honest) I’ve never heard of anything that drops BP in combination with thc, or cbd in specific, nor even with whole flower.

It’s kinda the main risk involved with the substance, and it’s typically a stronger affect when smoked because of the smoke itself. It increases heart activity in a way that isn’t beneficial, and may (not enough data out there for any conclusions to have been published that I’ve seen) have long term negative outcomes.

I would say that if you’re having that showing strong a reaction, it may be time to test out reducing your dosage when you do partake

Im dyslexic, so I rely a bit heavily on the keyboard to minimize errors from that. But, sometimes it causes others lol.

Definitely crab rangoon.

They’re mostly cream cheese, but they manage to be way better than you’d think

southsamurai, to asklemmy in If zombies are supposed to go after brains, then why do they almost always end up tearing into the abdomen and other parts instead?
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think everyone has already covered the fact that it depends on which kind of zombie you’re talking about, since the only “real” zombies aren’t actually undead at all, and are certainly not mindless.

But! Even within the brain hungry zombie type, there would be plenty of reasons to target something other than the head!

First, the chances of attacking a living person, getting through their skull, and to the brain in a single attack are low. So, attacking other parts of the body in order to prevent the prey from escaping is a good idea.

If you then assume that the zombies will want living brains, rather than freshly dead, the guts are the ideal target. See, if you can get the living human down, and tear into their guts, they’ll be immobilized for the most part, but their heart should stay beating for at least a few minutes. This gives your brain eating zombie much better chances of having a bit of live brain. So, even if they’re too weak to crack the skull and eat quickly, if you have time, you can make it happen anyway.

Now, you probably were seeing one of the varieties of zombie fiction where their hunger is for either flesh in general and human by preference, or specifically for human flesh.

The walking dead zombies were flesh eaters in general, they were shown to eat deer and horse for sure, but seemed to prefer human when available. And there were a good number of scenes where they were seen digging into the abdomen. While Robert Kirkman has never given real details about how and why his zombies function as they do, we know two things for sure: First, they can function even when their body isn’t fully intact; second that they have a constant hunger for flesh that will drive them to attempt to eat, no matter what happens to the rest of them. Indeed, severed zombie heads can still try and eat.

So, you run into zombies in that world that may not be at full strength, but can drag down the living in numbers. They then crawl their way to the meat and gnaw.

But, the reason why walking dead zombies often go for the soft parts rather than arms and legs isn’t an in-universe thing, it’s practical. Zombies tearing the guts out of a victim looks cooler, and it’s easier to make effects for. Making a believable leg eating prop is a lot harder.

There’s also been versions of zombies where they have residual capacity for thinking, and memories. When that’s the case, you could be dealing with the mind that’s left going for a target that’s easier to chew into, as compared to a skull. The throat and belly are the most vulnerable targets available for human teeth that will kill or immobilize in a reasonable span of time.
