(Sincere) are you implying that these pictures are the elite/upper class and the counter narrative is more the norm of the time?
Edit: nvm, other comments in the feed seem to add further context.
But that first purge feels so healthy though!
Epitome and Penchant for me. Mocked mercilessly for those two.
I read recently that white plastic was the more expensive color to produce. I wanted to cite/link a source but internet search is frustratingly bad these days.
Edit: Not quite what I read but close enough.

Ridiculous isn’t it? I had my annual physical a few weeks back, which for me is filling an online form and having my blood pressure read and a few blood tests. $550, insurance pays for everything.
Well. Almost. Turns out 2 of my blood tests were not covered by some healthcare bill passed in 2007. $267. And the mole I asked to be checked, billing code wasn’t covered as standard checkup, and so that question was $240. Mole was benign, and surprisingly didn’t result in some convenience fee.
ER was in-network. The nurse and doctor was also in-network. The second nurse, who connected me to the ECG, and the person who read the ECG was not in-network. No way of knowing at the time. Balance billing was permitted in that state at that time, which out-of-network provider used to the full extent.
I’m still salty about that.
Not challenging just clarifying; Is your speculation extending to suggest that the larger demographic of porn consumers online are adolescents? Or more that the “step-*” joining the family set a longer term influence? (Or something else entirely…?)
I appreciate your work. (sincerely)
I have an extension on this, in that a triple tap on the switch by the doors, will also lock the doors after 60 seconds.
I have a MikroTik Router providing DHCP to the various networks on my homelan. Each device seems to get a regular host name collision, and so the router appends a number to the end of the existing host name. My computer is currently called “Machine-8272537”. I tried fixing it a few times, setting different timeout/lease time parameters and disabling “privacy protection” on the devices, but nothing fixes it. Been like this 3 years now. I just kinda ignore it.
I use Blocky. I switched from PiHole because I didn’t have need for all the features (DHCP, Dashboard) and honestly it was a slow day and I had nothing better to do.
A couple of years back they removed a lot of unverified content that spanned a bunch of undesirable categories.

They did, and I quote:
As to comments/criticisms on the tone/style, Yeah, corporate videos are corporate videos!” the company then said, adding a shrug emoji.
A few years ago, I spent New Year’s Eve flying solo. Passed the time with a mix of baking, movies, cooking dinner, a long walk, doodling, and a bunch of Sudoku games. The night was dry, so I stepped out close to midnight, had a sip of whisky under city lights to see the New Year in. Then I popped an edible and fucked off to bed with a Netflix Lullaby. Best of luck too you!
Googling everything gets boring though. I learned something today from your question :)
From the health.com link that references this article includes edibles as a risk vector.
Previous studies have suggested that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the molecule responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis, acts on receptors that are found in the central nervous system and in the heart and blood vessels. This interaction between THC and blood vessels may provide a pathway for cannabis to promote inflammation and the buildup of plaque, ultimately leading to CAD. The same effects would not necessarily be expected with the use of cannabidiol (CBD), another active ingredient in cannabis and hemp that is commonly extracted for products that do not contain THC.
So you are indeed correct. To a point. The ICU observation doesn't minimize the risks of cannabis but provides a perspective on the prevalence of the issue, and the tone in your responses is likely behind the downvotes you are lamenting.
Regardless, thank you for sharing the links, they were helpful.
I hope you don’t mind my asking; what’s the nature of the peer pressure to participate you’re facing?
I got mine (Milwaukee brand) from the big orange box store which also happens to be available on Amazon.com for $25.
