My mom pierced my tragus (both sides), with a starter stud, with no gun. It took quite a while, probably 5 minutes per ear. Hurt like hell. I think I ended up putting in 8ga acrylic plugs, which I think caused the cartilage split all the way to the edge of each tragus. Being a rambunctious 16 year old, the piercings got bumped too hard, and ripped out. This caused the tragus to split in half, and it healed that way.
This was 20+ years ago.
Here’s the best part of the Fediverse: you can spin up your own server—with blackjack and hookers! Then you can mod every community on your server. Isn’t that awesome? You could become the mod that you want to see in the world ☺️ Will your communities catch on? Doubt.
Of course she would have hesitation, being that you tend to give up on a marriage when you get bored.
What if she wants to eventually settle down? What if there are children involved? Now she has to consider that you will suddenly get bored again, and leave her. People who get married want to build a life together.
Had me in the first.
On Sunday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News that Chicago was a “war zone” where her agents were not welcome to use restrooms.
Good. They should not feel welcome ANYWHERE they go; no comfort, no peace, to the enemy.
So why haven’t we “helped redistribute” his wealth for him? Clearly he needs our help.
I’m sure they were on scene—directing traffic for the gestapo.
So I’m trying to figure out what it will take for us to properly challenge the regime. What will be the last straw? Like, when does the ride end?
Tum mak hoong, in a way. To anyone not from SEA, it can be quite off putting. Being formerly married to a Laotian woman, I got used to the smells pretty quick. Now all of that fermented stuff smells good to me.
Some of the ingredients, on their own, have very powerful aromas. Fish sauce is the one people would know off hand. Also used is shrimp paste and crab paste, which are very pungent.
However, when combined with the rest of the ingredients, it creates this awesome papaya salad. Depending upon how many peppers you put in, the heat level can be insane.
My then-MIL originally taught me to make it with fish sauce, crab paste, and shrimp paste. Another family member taught me to make it with Padaek, which is an ingredient that you store in a bag, in a bag. It is some gnarly stuff, with chunks of fermented fish mixed in it, so you know it’s good. Kidding aside, it provides some truly amazing flavors. But dear lord, it is pretty rank.
Highly recommend trying Tum Mak Hoong! Laotian food is so good. When you order the papaya salad, make sure you order Laap to go with it.
That shit was wild back in the day. Rhythm lights, anyone?
For sure. The unfortunate thing for me is that I have no actual skills (trades, degrees, certs) to bring with me, let alone the cash to be able to do so.
I get the feeling that I am not the only one in this situation.
There is no stopping it. I can’t believe that I am seriously considering leaving the only place I’ve ever known. Leaving all of my loved ones behind.
Fuck the United States.
Erik’s comment is 8 years old. Holy shit, I feel a bit old right now.
It’s just a matter of time now. Pretty easy to violently put down a protest if it’s illegal to gather.
God damnit…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Fuck face got what he deserved.
Finally, a good guy with a gun.

My purse has all sorts of things in it. The most useful are the pen light, stubby multi-bit driver, utility knife, and multi-bit electronics driver. That with chargers, and usb cables (A, C, and micro).
Of course that is in addition to what one would typically find in a ladies’ purse. I also have my nicotine products in there.
Every few weeks I sort through what is in there. It’s too bad that it is not really socially acceptable for cishet guys to have a European carry-all.
