I’m I’m the middle of a 30 day challenge to eat a fermented food every day. Doing pretty good so far.

Good for you on the soda! It’s really one of the worst things you can consume, even the sugar free. I was blessed with a distaste for carbonation from birth, but I have plenty of other vices.

Probably companies that supply live food for reptiles. Possibly bait shops.

I would like the option to make it public on my community. I have asked people not to downvote amateur bakers for just trying to improve their skills but some assholes don’t listen.

Ah yes, it is uniquely dignified to hate your body and feel like an alien inside it.

I like that you responded to the wrong post and I know exactly which post you meant to reply to.

Now I want to post bird pictures all over town. It would delight me to see them.

I always thank my dog for letting me pet him.

Nah, plenty of fanboys willing to blow him.

No, I just mean I have an underactive thyroid, and I’m stuck taking medication for it the rest of my life. As opposed to some of the other meds I take that I could conceivably stop under the right circumstances.

I have been through this multiple times with various meds. If I could get off them all, I would. Alas, thyroid malfunction is permanent.

Check out A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys. A bunch of US citizens get so fed-up with the looming collapse of the planet, they form a bunch of socialist collectives who rely on the internet to function. It’s like a cross between reddit and Next Door. Problems are discussed, solutions proposed and voted on, information readily shared. These communities just focus on taking the best care they can of their own people and their corner of the world. Also there are aliens.
