I've been using this non-stick ProCook pan along with their stainless steel pots for the past four years, assuming it was safer than Tefal. How can I tell if it is free from PFAS?

Psychedelics trip on Leo now.

Thanks for the info.

It's definitely annoying. I make eggs for breakfast most days and if I use stainless steel, no matter how much oil or butter I put theres always some stuck to the pan, which is a pain to remove. May look into ceramic.

I've not experienced the suicide of a friend, but once with a classmate. Be gentle with yourself, take time and space to just be with your feelings if needed. Talk to supportive family members or friends if you can.

Exactly. A fetus is living but not sentient. It is not a person. It has the potential to be a human being, but only that - potential. Therefore, abortion is not murder.

Is washing your hands to kill bacteria or getting rid of a virus murder?

ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants against Sinwar and Netanyahu for war crimes.

Hasan has been espousing exactly the same views since before anyone even knew who TF he was. Again, nowhere has he ever said he grifted. He openly talks about how if he wanted to grift he would just become a right-winger and latch onto culture war issues and sell fear. The fact is you are just pulling this out of your ass and then labelling someone dangerous because you don't like their positions. The 'cracker = slur' thing is an absolute joke too. The N-word has far reaching racial implications to black history of slavery, subjigation, torture, rape and executions. No insult you can say to a white person even comes close to being in the same category. The whole thing is utterly disengenous.

When did he do such a thing? I find most people barely watch any of Hasan's content enough to know his actual views. They have a caricature of him being wealthy and therefore not a socialist, which is absurd.

Nice

Yes, I've never heard of it either. Anyone have a legit source that gender fluidity is being taught in schools?

@Raze Horrifying. This kind of thing is only possible when you see others as animals instead of people.

Nick Cave is an incredible lyricist and songwriter.

Seems inevitable. I could see myself taking advantage of transhumanist technologies, especially later in life to improve physical health and cognition. Initially it will probably face significant backlash, mainly from conservatives and the religious, but there's no denying the potential benefit for humanity. We could see genetic diseases or predispositions to certain conditions eliminated through gene-editing technologies. Advanced biotic prosthetics for those with physical disabilities or who have lost limbs. Brain-computer interfaces for those with neurological diseases and mobility issues. One of my concerns is accessibility. Would only the wealthy have access to these technologies? If so, that's going to exacerbate existing divides in society.

@Soul Flight@Bazooka Jesus Thank you both.

@Swagala I've been going through a similar experience lately. I've always had cycles of depression, but recently I had a realization of cosmic loneliness I guess you could call it and I'm not sure if I can ever go back. These days I look forward to nothing and feel immense loneliness despite living with my girlfriend. It's a feeling of everything around me being just imaginary, total solitude with no one to even listen to the suffering. All I want to do is forget and go back to how it was. My mind tortures me daily reminding me that I'm alone, no one exists, and everything is my dream. The best I can hope for is to forget this eventually, or somehow learn to live with it. I wish you the best of luck.

It's gonna be hard to top the chemistry of Hart and Cohle, along with the general mystery and existential vibe of season one. But I'm looking forward to seeing it soon. Somewhat similar is Fargo. Almost every season is great, the most recent one is excellent. Would recommend checking it out.

I heard that to get in to JP's shows you need to have 'SUCKER' tattooed to your forehead.
