every time someone tried to call me in i would say i’ve had alcoholic drinks; they shut up pretty quick after that.

you know, good for her, i guess, but i absolutely fucking hate that they just paint this picture of her like a normal, well adjusted person who happened to get involved in some Weird Shit, because she has to have ignored or dismissed a LOT of red flags to get to where she was.

i’m glad she finally did her due diligence, but i don’t think she deserves a glossy write up about how she did a little oopsy fucky wucky that may have made many children’s lives measurably worse.

i am sure it will be “too expensive” for the next 30 to 40 years.

sorry i live a happy well-rounded life and don’t know what any of this means.

i like this

lol no, that’s the most american thing about me and i refuse.

i literally use metric for everything else in my day job and overall life; but for temperature, Fahrenheit makes more sense to me. 100 F? deadly. 70 F? great. 50 F? chilly. 0 F? deadly.

in exchange for almost never running it during the day: i turn my A/C down to like 68 F overnight and sleep like a baby.

i’m going to snap and i’m going to

they aren’t.

glug glug

you can keep self sucking all you want; it’s a genocide. eat me.

cool, i’m going to go to your house and squat in your backyard with a questionable document that says i have the right to be there. then, i’ll start expanding into the structure of your home by destroying key areas. then, i’ll start taping out walkways through your home you will not be allowed to use. if any member of your family attempts to stop this i will use my extensive military might to kill them.

this process will continue many decades. feel free to go with the flow.

what’s the logical conclusion of your point here?

but when the IDF does it it’s a feature?

it’s a genocide; that’s the point.

Nobody comes out of this clean.

it’s a genocide; it’s not rational.

trans people and our allies are fighting; that’s why the christian theocrats are freaking out and using us as the threat of the day to drum up their stupid, ignorant base.

the blame does not squarely lie in complacency

right.

and yea, vasoconstriction is vasoconstriction and we know nicotine (among other stimulants) causes it, and therefore, it’s going to reduce blood flow to the skin. reduced blood flow = less oxygen/nutrients. over time, this can slow down the healing/regeneration process of the skin, which would lead to a more aged appearance. this also effects hair follicles.

there’s not much else to prove here; it’s cause and effect.

well, not quite, but you have the gist.

nicotine patches and gum have been around for quite awhile, and the blood vessel constriction is a fact, and therefore, it will affect skin/hair health.

it’s just to what degree. clearly, it’s more with analog cigarettes where you’re sucking on literal smoke.

i use both, but i never really think about it unless my skin suddenly dislikes it and revolts.

so, yea, convenience wins.
