I’ve been opting out of every single one, but some companies are assholes and make you send it in through a written letter (Meta) or worse, automatically accept it if you’ve even just used the app/site/product after they send an email to you regarding changes. The fact that massive corporations also say all matters must be resolved in small claims court and with mandatory arbitration with the company’s arbitrator is incredibly illegal sounding. Fuck you AT&T. They were the company who fought for revoking arbitration rights in contracts. The Supreme Court decided it was legal.

The scammers always have a field day with elections because so many people are too politically charged to do research. By LAW, every US campaign has to have the actual name of the person who’s sending texts and if it doesn’t, you know it’s a scam. If you have T-Mobile, you can forward the text to 7726 (SPAM) and they’ll shut it down. Never ever respond to these. Don’t even say “STOP” because then they’ll know it’s a number connected to a real human and not a business… a human they can scam.

For a long time; crab, lobster, crayfish were seen by the upper class as bugs of the sea and were very inexpensive. It’s only relatively recently did they become hella expensive. My 8th birthday party, I remember getting a pound of snow crab legs (including sides) for $6.99 at a nice seafood restaurant. I was born in the 90s, so it wasn’t that long ago!

I can have a bit of onion powder, but dried onions wreck my stomach

Yup! Those are just the tops of an onion plant

It’s hard. I still eat garlic on occasion, even though it makes me sick. Luckily, I’ve always had a bad reaction with an onion, so my body rejects the flavor too

It sucks having an allium intolerance… no one will take my garlic from me though, even if it makes me miserable later

Fun fact! California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Vermont allow for human composting as a form of body disposition; like cremation or burial.

Thank you for this. It’s a pretty shit article when they don’t show the comparison.

This aged as expected 😓

I know this is four months old, but I’m getting nonstop gambling ads after googling how to block them and its driving me insane. I hate that I’m not alone in ad hell… I’ve lost people because of gambling addiction and it is RIDICULOUS that there isn’t a way to block ads for things that are dangerous, if they become addictive.

Oh definitely. I created a show after I had to stop mortuary work (genetic disability) because it’s fascinating. I even ran the Wayne State University Funeral History Museum for 3 years.

Yup! Human composting is only legal in Vermont, California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado right now.

That channel gets enough wrong that I can’t support it. The biggest thing wrong that I’ve heard a million times is that you don’t have to be embalmed. If there is going to be a viewing, more than 48 hours after death, even just with next of kin; there, legally, has to be embalming to stop the biohazard risk in most states. If you want a direct burial or cremation, you don’t need to be embalmed; but if the public will be around the deceased, embalming is almost always required. Even in those that aren’t mandatory after 48 hours, there’s a massive liability waiver because of how dangerous it is, and you won’t be able to touch them without gloves.

It’s allowed in Colorado, Vermont, Oregon, Washington, and California, so definitely becoming more widespread. I’m not sure if you need a specific mortuary, but the one I worked in Colorado (before the law passed) would work with all sorts of programs; Science Care (body donation), organ donation programs, the companies that turned your cremated remains into diamonds/glass art/coral reefs, the ones that shot cremated remains into space or had it mixed with fireworks or tattoo ink. There are a LOT of options for you postmortem 😅

Washington Colorado, California, Oregon and Vermont currently allow human composting, but the idea is spreading. Cremation, embalming, burials at a cemetery, even green burials are awful for the environment. They all require either chemicals, the use of gas, or the use of heavy machinery; sometimes all of them. The aforementioned states made it in such a way that you’re giving back to the environment and it’s a fuck ton cheaper. (Still need a Funeral home involved for transportation, biohazard protection, permits, government docs, etc. So it’s not free, but much more affordable)

There’s actually human composting now, too! (I’m a mortician)

I knew instantly that she, like myself, was an adult content creator, because this keeps happening to women online; but especially to SWers.

I had a guy who wouldn’t take no for an answer and he stalked down and threatened my grandma. I had to get the police involved.

Meg Turney, her stalker learned she was in a relationship, and he broke into their home with a gun ready to kill them.

There was a story of a singer in Japan whose stalker found her location through the reflection in her eye, went to her house, and sexually assaulted her!

Anytime anyone says it’s so easy to make money with digital sex work, I tell them stories like this. We have to put our photos out there to advertise, we have to show interest in our supporters, we need to traverse so carefully… our lives might be on the line.

My family is in New Zealand and every time I visit them, Air New Zealand blows my mind with their safety briefings. They are so much fun or straight up breathtaking. It’s brilliant.

I have to fight every time I am suffering. It’s ridiculous.

• Bad cramps; must be normal period pain… Nope! Severe Endometriosis that required surgery.

• Exhausted all the time; must need to exercise more… Nope! Narcolepsy!

• Joint pain and weakness; you could afford to lose 10lbs… Nope! Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

• Passing out going from heat and movement; change your diet and drink more water… Nope! Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

• My feet are always freezing; wear more clothes… Nope! My veins are literally leaking (found this out on the 30th)

• Headaches where I blackout and slur words; must be hormones or poor nutrition… Nope! Hemiplegic Migraine Disorder and TIA(mini strokes)

• Getting spacey, dropping things, memory issues; must be a hypochondriac… Nope! Seizures.

• I fought for 7 years to get sterilized because my health problems are genetic and was told I was too young to make that decision (at 24) and that my ex husband might change HIS mind about wanting kids so they wouldn’t do it.

I’m so sick of doctors not listening to me because I’m a woman who is not even remotely fat, but has a pronounced hourglass figure. (Size H chest)
