It’s a tough question, to be sure. I mean, we can look through the book for hints about it here and there, but I think the best way is to look at the followers who are closest to him. That said… Pedophile. Jesus was definitely a pedophile.

Ok, this is anecdotal for certain, but an honest and lived experience.

I’ve developed osteoarthritis in various parts of my body as I aged, my wife has rheumatoid arthritis. She takes some non-opioid prescription meds (with unfortunate long-term effects) for it, but they’re anti-inflammatories and don’t do much for the base pain. I introduced her to CBD oils, ointments, salves, and tinctures. She now takes an eye dropper of tincture every night before bed which allows her to sleep better, and has a variety of tropicals (lotion, gel, roll-on, stick (like deodorant)) for localized treatment and flare ups in both trees and muscle tension. She also does not like being high at all, so she gets hemp-based products online (Lazerus Naturals, for the curious).

On my end, I enjoy the high as (with a sativa) it helps me to focus and get things done (undiagnosed ADD checking in) as well as killing the pain in my body. I’ve also found that the THC component gives a boost to the pain-‘killing’ effect, but that could just be the drugs talking.

Marijuana aside, I’ve also learned the benefits of Turmeric for arthritis pain. There are days I forget to take Turmeric and am soon reminded when the invisible gremlins start stabbing my hands in the evening. See if you can get her to add that to her supplements and she might get a bit more relief.

I’m a skeptic and scientist by nature, and endured various days of pain just to make sure the stuff I am taking is actually doing something, so maybe I can save someone else the hassle. Keep in mind that some things are a cumulative effect, meaning you’ll need to take them for a few days to really propagate through the system for best effect.

Best of luck!

(If your experience is chronic pain, well…)

And there’s the rub. I don’t want to be a wake-n-bake kind of person, but I also don’t walk fully upright until I’ve had a hit or two, and using my hands for anything requiring dexterity and/or strength means I’ll have invisible gremlins stabbing my knuckles with their tiny, invisible knives the rest of the day and night. “Microdosing” through the day allows me to get shit done when my body doesn’t want to cooperate.

Given the rise of MAGA, do you blame them?

If you invite it in, you’re powerless against it.

IIRC, restaurant machines are required to run at sanitization temperatures. Likely because of their extremely short run cycle.

Killing people is never right…

Uvalde P.D. checking in.

Mr. Blonde.

I hate that I hope the same thing.

The brand can be a great identifier. If the response is “Apple”, I can’t help you. If the response is “HP” or “Dell” or “Walmart”, I know the issue is likely because of proprietary garbage that’s locked down “for the safety of the user”.

When speaking to the computer illiterate, the brand question will usually be answered with either “Apple” or “Windows”. You gotta get that answer out of the way so you don’t waste 15 minutes trying to get someone to right-click something only to find out they only have 1 mouse button.

If you have any parking nuisances, throw a handful of mealworm on their car at night. The early bird will get the worm, and the car will be covered in bird shit.

Man who clicks confirmation for leopards to delete his work is angry and surprised when his work is deleted.

If you haven’t tried No Man’s Sky in VR, you’re really missing out. I have about 800 hours in it (90% in VR) and still go back to it day 1 if a new Expedition.

Walkabout Mini golf is a must-have.

Myst and Riven are fantastic in VR.

Star Wars Squadrons, Project Wingman, MS Flight Simulator… Pretty much any flying game with a HOTAS setup is great in VR.

Same can be said for racing games with a wheel setup.

Alyx is truly fabulous, but there are plenty of other great VR experiences to be had.

And that’s not even including what’s available with the VR injection mods. Cyberpunk in VR is pretty awesome, even with the jank that comes with playing a pancake game in VR.

I like to do it in song:

Right? How about this: I’ll keep the swearing to a minimum if you remove all the religious bobbles from your desk and stop talking about God. You don’t have a monopoly on being offended, and respect goes both ways.

More or less damage than he’s currently doing?

Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down for starters. Or go back in time to the stuff that came out during the Vietnam War. (edit to add Dead Kennedys during Reagan, a personal favorite).

I never said that the good music was pro-establishment. Pain and suffering tends to inspire fantastic art.

I’m gonna go ahead and believe you this time, but I’ve been told size doesn’t matter a few times before…

I hear you and am guilty of it myself. I feel like it’s due to the anonymous nature of the internet. I think everyone immediately falls into the category of “peer” before putting a touch more thought into who the actual person (bot/ai) is that wrote the reply. Add that to the fact that most Americans see themselves (as a country) as the king of the world.

Maybe you can try typing with an accent, but I think that’d probably just be seen as a racist American.
