I keep seeing report after report that Gen Z keeps falling for internet scams at an alarmingly high rate

…which, I mean, idk, maaaybe?

I feel like very young people are just more likely to get scammed due to lack of life experience. There are just a bunch of new avenues for scammers to access young people. I bet it pans out that it’s not the generation, it’s the age group.

We call ours the centaurs who live upstairs sometimes. They’re just some college girls, definitely not disabled or anything. They make just as much noise flying up and down the stairs sometimes. They’re definitely louder than anyone else who has ever lived above or below us. I think they legit do some sort of dance or exercise routine because sometimes it’s very regular, rhythmic. Idk it’s happy sounds. Happy neighbors having a good time don’t usually bother me, no matter how noisy they are. I’m sure I have a limit, but noisy walking and the occasional party isn’t gonna get me there.

Fireweed, Robin Hood of the Road has a nice ring to it. Doesn’t make a lot of sense or really p parallel, but we can still call you that!

Some people just want to watch the world burn

Hear me out, I like Similasan eye drops because they’re just saline with an alternative preservative. The flower magic stories are just for fun. My eyes like their saline blend best x_x

The sequels took trilogies to a narrative shit hole that was unsurpassed by any other trilogy in the history of movie making.

You clearly haven’t seen the Ken Delveccio trilogy that includes Joker’s Wild, A Karate Christmas Miracle, and A Wrestling Christmas Miracle. I haven’t even seen most of the new Star Wars movies, but I would put money on them being better than any Ken Delveccio movie.

Works for me!

Tell me about it. And I work at a dispensary. Between rewards for brand training, samples, and points, I came home with 300mg in edibles, an infused preroll, a half gram cart, a gram of diamonds, and a hand made dual bowl pipe for my wife for Christmas and payed ~$12. I am weed rich and like to share my good fortune.

You have no idea how much weed I possess. If it gets a human medicated or intoxicated, it’s not a waste to me. I keep spare mediocre weed on hand to give away for free sometimes I don’t like daytime THC, and I don’t smoke and drive, but my wife often wants or needs THC to be in crowded or busy public locations or events.

Yogurt with fruit and cereal. Unlike many (most?) people dealing with the munchies, I regularly run a calorie deficit. So I try to keep relatively healthy sources of calories on hand. I get full fat Greek yogurt and mix in whatever fibrous fruit. Lately it’s been raisins and cheerios. I’ll usually have a mug or small bowl of that after dinner as a sort of sturdy, healthy dessert. I wake up hungry a lot less often when I do.

You’re a truama therapist, then manage multiple neurodiversity communities in your spare time? You give a lot.

I also have yet another female-identifying client that may have ADHD, bringing the total to 6. I swear, we flock together.

I think neurodivergent people in general do. I have a sixth sense for picking out people with truama. If I really immediately click with someone, if I inherently understand and get along someone, they probably had some amount or degree of fucked up childhood. My other best friend is so because we are the two at work with CPTSD. There are a few people with PTSD, but we understand each other on a level neither of us gets from other people.

Interestingly, I almost never have this problem since getting my hormones right. Getting lost in (or attacked by!) sex less thoughts used to occasionally plague our bedroom. Now sex is so fucking enormous that it tends to eclipse everything. My body is louder and more talkative than it used to be.

Weed. The smell is important because weed is what we sell. It’s important because customers love it. It’s important because of the essential role smell plays in the cannabis experience. It’s important because I’ve gone noseblind to it, meaning that it’s persistently inside me and part of me. I can smell the differences and nuances in the different strains instead of just being overwhelmed by the basic weed smells.

How is the ickplant? You’re conspicuously missing from your own check in topic this week xd

As usual this is the end of my week. Today is just laundry and music and weed. My week was kind of amazing. I was blessed with a tome of essential workplace lore: a notebook with a mixture of dramatic personal notes and letters and professional sketches and thoughts left by one of the contractors who built our garage. I read every word of it. It was magical. My best friend and assistant manager who had been talking about our morale issue like it was intractable brought in chili and potato soup Saturday, then homemade sweets to the meeting yesterday. She’s better at this part of the job than she knows.

Turns out I didn’t actually lose a friend recently. She was broke and turned off her phone for a while. Her carrier’s phrasing sounded like she had blocked my number, but she texted me from the drive thru to prove she hadn’t. Her shithead to-be-ex-husband showed up at the dispensary during this time telling me they were together and asking for her friends and family discount. I thought she blocked me so I couldn’t chew her out. But she is still actively pursuing another man (a great guy who maybe isn’t patient enough for this drawn our divorce =/) and clearly isn’t living like her ex, who looks more and more like meth in human form. (tbh meth in human form would probably be a better person than him.) I am so relieved that I wasn’t just betrayed like it kind of seemed after more than a week of “Message Blocking is active.”

Evil T-shirt I <3 Evil. Second Death is incomparable.

If you’re in SW Missouri you can x_x

They actually address this with the super speed character in I’m a Virgo. Flora’s superpower is that she’s always bored x_x

I don’t want to follow closely, just occasionally dive in for fun perspective spectating. But maybe you’re on the right path with the Hexbear allow list. I should see if I can get Hexbear to allow feddit.nl.
