Dharma Curious

Oh damn, that TV guide tip is genius! We used to handwrite on a post it and then cover it with packing tape to kind of laminate it.

My folks were also too cheap/broke to buy blank VHS tapes, so we used to get regular movies at yard sales and cover the little tab area with electrical tape. Lol.

That’s clearly the abandoned love child of a fox and a wnba player.

When we first moved to Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads, VA, my mom almost wrecked the car when she saw a group of black squirrels. We’re not sure why it’s so fun to see them, they’re just squirrels that are black, but it’s always a treat.

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I was asking because I wondered how viable this would be in boats/ships, outdoor areas, off grid cabins, et cetera. Seems like it’s basically the same thing, then, right? Like, proper battery maintenance and you’re good?

You who are so wise in the ways of science, can you explain to me if this is safe/will be super dangerous if exposed to water? Doesn’t sodium, like, blow the fuck up when it comes in contact with water?

You can’t prove that. Orions are real, do not slander the Word of the great prophet Roddenberry, Peace Be Upon Him.

It’s a play on the term 'bi-curious," but for dharmic faiths instead of sexuality.

You shouldn’t give out your nearest landmarks on the internet. You could get a stalker. Now everyone knows what solar system you’re in!

I have no answer for you, other than I’d guess they stop growing the same way everything else does. Some changes but probably nothing drastic.

I mainly am commenting to say I love how absolutely stoned you are/were, and I’m happy for you to be that level of stoned.

In September my mom’s bowel ruptured due to a very large hernia she’d had for 20 years. She survived, but she spent a month in ICU recovering from the sepsis. The surgeries, the colostomy, none of it held a candle to the recovery from the sepsis. She was delirious for 3 weeks. Childlike, even. We thought it had done permanent brain damage, but thank God she recovered.

That was in September, it is now nearly 7 months later and she still can’t walk. She just doesn’t have the strength in he legs, and her blood pressure has not recovered. It’s very low, and when she stands it drops even worse, making it a risk she’ll pass out.

Sepsis is no fucking joke. The day she got sick I’ve never seen a human in that much pain. I’m really grateful that she doesn’t remember it, because it still gives me nightmares.

The new Dharma has arrived.

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

Dramatically runs from the room

Oh undoubtedly more efficient and better for a large group of people. I just mean to say in the matter of the person securing foods, hunting-gathering is less work per day/week than is farming. Or, at least, that has been the consensus of all my anthropology professors and the papers I’ve read. But if there’s counter evidence to it, I’d genuinely love to read it if you offer a keyword or two for the search. I love reading anthro papers so fricking much. Lol

Yes! Jesus, I’ve been trying to get your attention for months on here! Finally you notice!

Now pet my belly exactly 3 times so I can bite you.

Don’t be such a prude! #FreeTheAnus #BungHoleTanning #BreezeOnYouButthole

While agriculture allowed for vastly larger supplies of food and surpluses large enough to sustain cities (and even non-working ruling classes) it wasn’t “easier” per se. If we look at modern day hunter-gatherer groups they expend about the same calories as they bring in, but they typically work fewer hours per day than do agricultural peoples, leaving them with more leisure time. A combination of sedentism and the ability to produce a surplus of food and probably some factors we are just not privy to in the historical record made agriculture more appealing, and it absolutely made it more capable of supporting cities and empires. But easier isn’t really a good descriptor.
