did she say no skeletons or no HUMAN skeletons? there’s always a loophole!

packs the house, too!

I have one elf ear and one normal ear and my mom told me it’s because the elves took me as a baby and then brought me back half elf.

that’s what “some thought” means my guy

I never really paid for any of it; most of it was on my parents dime when I was a child and they were trying to ‘fix’ me. There’s a 25 year gap where I had great insurance and thought i didn’t need help (just alcohol, drugs, women) so didn’t see anyone. Then i got incredibly depressed, couldn’t get out of bed, lost my job and got on medicaid. Medicaid has been covering my therapy across 3 states for the last 7 years. After getting fired as a patient by a first year counselor his boss suggested i try to get into the trauma center and after an 8 month wait i got the first actual help in my life.

Almost all the other therapists would get utterly hung up on suicidal ideation and intrusive thoughts even when i explained to them that they were managed. they just couldn’t hear me and because that was all they would focus on nothing ever progressed. I tried lying but it’s hard to build a connection and trust that way.

My trauma therapist, like, treats it like no deal. Which to me it isn’t, the thoughts have been there for decades and i’m not going to act on them. When I mention them she doesn’t focus on them at all and subsequently I was able to get better.

When we first started doing sessions years ago it would literally be me pretty much ugly crying for most of the hour. Couple years before I made it through a session without crying.

At our last session I was laughing, joking, happy, thriving, and crying but they were joyful tears.

It took me over 40 years to get the help I needed and many black nights and many empty fifths but i’m still here baby and I’m living my best life now! Don’t give up!

my SO didn’t finish high school. Became an executive assistant but felt really unfulfilled, she really hated doing lunch orders especially.

Went back to college as an adult and got a degree and now her favorite part of her much better job is when they cater lunch and she gets to be on the other side getting spoiled.

I couldn’t be prouder.

I suffered a lot of trauma as a child, physical mental and emotional abuse from both of my families and at school.

I saw dozens of psychiatrists, counselors, therapists and psychologists. Got absolutely nothing out of it.

Eventually i found my way to a Trauma Treatment Center where they specialize in fucked up little nuggets like me.

And then my life changed because I got the help I needed and was able to unwind a lot of my problems and develop coping tools for what I couldn’t repair.

I’m very happy that i kept at it, my life feels very good now and I have friends and community and love.

It’s never too late, never give up on yourself.

oh thank you for the correction I misread that bit it would seem

NASA’s idea was an inflatable dipole, i linked the article about it up higher

as masterspace noted NASA has actually given it some thought.

“This new research is coming about due to the application of full plasma physics codes and laboratory experiments. In the future it is quite possible that an inflatable structure(s) can generate a magnetic dipole field at a level of perhaps 1 or 2 Tesla (or 10,000 to 20,000 Gauss) as an active shield against the solar wind.”

It also doesn’t completely protect the entire planet just two critical points on the surface.

me proudly showing off to my dad that I had spent hours teaching the Timex Sinclair to… balance a checkbook!

dad: my checkbook is already balanced.

me: ahhh, yes well, just imagine though if things had lined up huh??

HUGE FAN OF SHEA MOISTURE MFER WHEN IM NOT CRANKING MY HOG IN THE SHOWER IM GENTLY MASSAGING MY SCALP TO INCREASE BLOOD FLOW TOO

I know you’re joshing but the helmet IS designed to break easily. This lets it absorb and redirect the force of the impact so effectively. Cars call it ‘crumple zones’ but it’s the same thing.

You’re supposed to replace most helmets any time you drop them even if there is no visual damage for this reason. The dropped helmet may now have cracks you can’t see in the foam below the shell and in any subsequent crashes your skull may end up taking more force than it should.

it may be that the image size exceeds your client’s capabilities; she’s a looong boi

the suspension is barely loaded, I’m guessing AI or Art Vehicle and that’s all a shell. I owned a work truck with an 8 foot bed and when it was loaded the tire would be way up in the wheel well more. Could be some super suspension but my money is it’s not really what we are seeing. The suspension being perfectly level with the ground makes me think AI as the vehicle is designed to be level with the rear loaded. With that front loaded down too the nose should be pitched down a bit.
