Ah I use isopropyl alcohol because I don’t come from the circus performer side of things but the bdsm side. I learned a more unique style of fire play when I was just starting out and was taught to practice on myself until I was certain I wouldn’t do damage to others or buildings

My hair gets a lot of compliments but it’s probably the fact that I’m an extrovert with severe adhd so I can really struggle to shut up

Oh nice. I only have one real party trick and I’m pretty sure I’d get kicked out of a bar for it (lighting myself on fire)

Something like $100/week for two draws. But it was like 6 years ago in Kentucky

Honolulu

I donated blood for many years, starting the first day I was allowed (mom took me). I’ve been an organ donor from the day I was able and am loud about that. And for a few months after college I sold plasma for money. It definitely felt scummy, but I think it’s ultimately a good thing, though it is selling part of your body to a for profit company at a rate that’s pretty bad. So the cons are really that it definitely feels seedier than whole blood donation and that the phlebotomists are worse. I can’t donate blood anymore because they gave me a track mark and I can’t risk my other elbow’s veinous access.

But it got me through a rough time

Worse is my coworkers ranting about how biased the moderator was

Yeah it would just be really nice to know that Saturday is never the 3rd. Also leap day wouldn’t be a day of the week, it’s a holiday at the end outside of week structure

Yeah rogue legacy 2 goes very against oc’s demands but did it right. There was a clear path of development of one area every 3ish months, and it would be fairly polished once it was released, but possibly unbalanced. I didn’t feel cheated, but I also don’t think any other early access releases will be that good. I’ve been a huge fan of supergiant games since bastion and am still waiting on Hades 2 to get full release before purchasing, it just seems like it’ll be worth waiting to experience

Yeah they probably do here too but yeah most motorcycles I encounter are owned by the obscenity obnoxious. I wish I could think that motorcycles were cool but instead I just think of them as a loud annoyance. And I totally get how some of these people probably see the volume as a safety thing, but jeez just get some flashing magenta lights or something else difficult to not notice but not disrupting to everyone around

Motorcycles have a maximum volume

Alternatively 13 months of 28 days

Chinese communism seems very much to be born of a fusion of USSR and Chinese imperial styles. But one important thing to remember about communist revolutions between 1918 and the 1990s is that the USSR played a major role in a lot of them. This is where you see such things as the betrayal in Catalonia and massive splits in western leftism as Marxist-Leninists and Maoists had backing and anarchists didn’t.

It’s an authoritarian thing. A lot of the rebels against the USSR were communists (most notably the red navy’s rebellion at Kronstadt). It’s a shame that communism has become synonymous to much of the world with the authoritarianism of some of its’ factions.

Because we’re a social species that often checks ourselves off of those around us. Sometimes it’s unhealthy, but often it’s an attempt to maintain tribe status and to safeguard against misperception.

First aid specifically aimed at the sorts of injuries that one risks by protesting. A prime example is tear gas.

Kink tastes can change. You can’t really force it, and sometimes they come and go. It’s awkward but it ex part of life. Especially with things that are mostly hot for novelty’s sake.

Not exactly but my wife’s background in protest medicine is one of the first things that drew me to her

King James. His persecution of women caused centuries of problems

Oh yeah I get that and it’s just the worst

Well I had hives about a day or two after I had bottom surgery and had to switch to otc painkillers, so it’s either that or the cluster headaches I had as a kid.

Third place goes to the infection I had after a particularly invasive removal of wisdom teeth, also sans opiate.

Being allergic to both opiates and one of the most common antibiotics really fucking sucks.

Emotional pain it’s either my mom’s death to cancer or my ex father disowning me
