Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the most disgusting thing you've ever put in your mouth?
2 daysGinger bier is quite spicy, hot if it has enough in it. What you expected sounds like sarsaparilla?

2 daysI don’t care for either, but I’m ready chicken liver in dirty rice.

2 daysNatural casings from quality sausages are pig intestines. And chitterlings.

2 daysI’ve been on crutches more than once, so pick an item.

2 daysOlder people who have mobility issues sometimes prefer cities because markets, banks, care providers, other services can be close to home, it easily within ~5 minutes walking/golf cart distance.
Most Burgerlander visual aid ever.

3 daysI suspect it’s more common than you may imagine. Fwiw, blood children are also treated this way.

Healing is available. It’s a slow, often painful, messy (non-linear process). But it’s doable. The alternative is stay sick, get sicker, perpetuate the cycle. You’re willing to talk about it a little, so it indicates the wounds haven’t yet calcified, and that’s a good sign. I encourage you to look into it, and various healing modalities.

In fact, I recommended starting with the basics, and exploring what help may be available to you until you stabilize*. But I have full faith in your capability to manage the journey.
Best to you, fellow traveler. 🫂

3 daysDivorced parents/nasty custody battle/switching school/lunching alone, for a time. It was a long time ago, and I’ve worked through it, for the most part. My original parents never did, I think, but moved on, nonetheless. I used to feel sad for them but the more I age, the more I realize it’s probably for the best. Can’t mend together what we refuse to face, individually.

3 daysI find that imagination can help with focus sometimes.
I’ll hazard an uneducated guess that it’s related to memetics (in the Blackmore/Dawkins sense), and/or epigenetics (which may be built on the framework of memetics).
Just another tool to maybe help navigate the unpredictable
Maybe no maybe. 😉 And maybe the predictable.

3 daysThe mind seems to be more motivated by vivid imagery than dull imagery.






Health savings/flex account. Those hours and kind of job, anything can happen at any moment. Short and long term disability insurance, short and long term unemployment savings or insurance (maybe an annuity?).
Please consider donating a little to your local food bank/homeless shelter/soup kitchen, and/or donating a year of physical fitness for a child, elderly person, or other vulnerable person.
