There still is some phycology behind seeing the marks that probably influences the person’s experience.

Why people don’t like strawberry drinks that would be clear without the red dye or probably don’t enjoy them as much.

If you think something will taste good by appearance you can slightly trick yourself into the thing actually tasting better. Grill marks don’t make the steak better, but people expect them.

We are weird animals. Probably part of that primitive brain that categorizes items that could kill you if you eat them using sight or smell that is being hijacked.

It’s in our DNA

I read this and the comments and still don’t know what the fuck is considered “the top 20”.

I do reinforce the metrics by playing most games that are 10+ years old now. Though I do got my eye on Timberborn, but I’d assume that’s not the “top 20” and they are talking AAA bullshit I haven’t been interested in years because they just seem to be regurgitate repeats or copies of the same formula that worked before a AAA company just reskined it and added a $90 price tag.

I DIDN’T HEAR THAT FIRST PART BROTHER! BUT LET’S GET THIS STRAIGHT HOG = THE PACK! I DON’T SUPPORT ORANGE PEDOPHILES! I ONLY CRANK MY HOG WITH CONSENTING ADULTS!

Trying to figure out what this was from originally because it seems familiar. Was thinking it was “Eye in the Sky” by Philip K. Dick, but guess not?

Very true, they probably have to wear those in the bathroom.

You have to clock out for 5 mins to enjoy that cookie, than get back to work.

Fucked around and found out.

If you inject it directly into your heart, your temps should stay very low.

I don’t really know, but they all came sealed in airtight bags that we had to cut open. They had some preservation chemical sealed inside as well, not formaldehyde at the time because it was known to cause cancer. But the smell was something I’ll never forget.

There was enough for all of us to pair up and share one, so it was a lot of pig fetuses. They looked like they were very late in the gestational phase about to be born, because they had all their bits, hooves, eyes… basically fully formed newborns right before birth.

I can only imagine someone had a connection with a slaughter house because of the sheep’s heads as well. Probably things the farm would toss out but made a buck off of selling for dissection to local labs.

So I learned from someone helping me train my dog to walk on a leash. They do this to read your subtle visual cues. Basically make sure they are headed where you are, seeking approval, and to make sure there is no danger around.

Domestic dogs have become very good at reading human body language as a means of survival and due to being pack animals.

They do this because they trust you to know what you are doing and checking in on your guidance.

Is this referring to different countries biology classes? Because in high school we dissected a sheep’s head, a pig fetus, rats, and earth worms.

My science teacher wanted to get us euthanized cats from the shelter to dissect. But the school said no, he was disappointed and shared that with us.

Older American.

Gobble gobble

Makes these old images of Biden raising gas prices funnier to dig back up. Omg $3! When some places now are pushing $6.

I’m uncircumcised and my son is uncircumcised. Really goes a long way on understanding how to deal with a normal uncircumcised penis. Cleaning it doesn’t take any extra effort.

Unfortunately for you the information on how to care for a normal uncircumcised penis on a younger child is not easily available because of the expectation that all American children are circumcised.

You are not supposed to retract the foreskin until later in life. When? Well it’s different for everyone but can be as late as age 10 or more. Until that time it’s “self-cleaning” just wash the outside. Tell the kid to keep trying to gently retract it when he pees or baths, if it doesn’t pull back easily it’s not ready.

You don’t need to get soap up in there until it starts retracting on it own, the skin begins to naturally separate. If you force it, you can cause scaring and damage, you’re literally ripping the skin from the glans. Once it retracts, pull the foreskin back wash the glans and ta dah… clean dick.

It’s made out to be this big inconvenience and believed by men with their foreskin removed. It’s not at all an inconvenience. You also don’t have any idea what your missing out on by having a circumcised penis.

Anyway thought I’d share before you mess up your kids dick. Lot of doctors I’ve talked to I had to correct on the proper way to take care of an uncircumcised child’s penis, it’s very unsettling and you might have got incorrect information yourself.

Lucky for me a have the proper equipment to know what I was talking about.

What makes an artist an artist is a question that will be debated for a long time.

But someone jamming a prompt into a LLM does not make them an artist.

I hear this, but overall their has been a medical scare on the overuse of painkillers in general. So I think it’s more what type of doctor you have than “who you are”.

I (male) had shingles during COVID lockdown and was only allowed 2 strong painkiller capsules. I asked for more and was told essentially to just try and ignore it and take common over the counter painkillers. They did absolutely nothing and the doctor knew they did nothing.

I recall sitting in agony a lot not able to do anything else because the pain was so intense. Just sweating and wincing, trying to not think about it. Last time I used that doctor for anything.

Meanwhile my parents had a literal shoebox filled to the top with fentanyl patches left over after surgeries they both had because their doctor was just throwing them at them. They had serious pain, but their doctor just didn’t give a fuck and would throw things anytime they asked. Probably because he thought they were going to die soon anyway.

At least if you run off a cliff and don’t look down, you’ll never fall.
