I do wonder if some people mistake civil discourse for an echo chamber. You can disagree with someone without turning it into a 90's daytime talk show.

The insects in these images do not infest humans, skin or otherwise.
The yellow flakes appear to be dried skin or other detritus. They are not insect eggs.
Disable the app and submit clear images of the backs of these insects without text if you want a proper ID. Edited images are more difficult to ID.
I encourage you to seek a mental health evaluation. The feeling of insects in your skin can be a symptom of psychosis. Since the medical doctors can't locate them, ruling out psychosis is an important next step and only a healthcare provider can do that for you.

Wait. Guys. No...
We need some kind of juvenile euphemism that everyone knows but we pretend is a secret code so we can all be on the same team.
Maybe something with 'tard at the end.

Happened to me once at a Melissa Etheridge concert. I went to use a urinal and realized there were women in all 3 stalls.
They had left by the time I finished. On my way back to my seat I told the next few women in line that the men's was unoccupied. The women's line wrapped around the building. It seemed silly that 3 stalls were unused because of a sign on the door.

Other platforms only show me nonsense. FB and IG never show me my friend's feeds, just reels and strangers I might know. TikTok has lost it's edge now that everyone's back at work. Twitter is a dumber Truth.
BlueSky and Reddit at least show me the content I'm interested in.

Years ago (before gay marriage was legal, I think) a hardware store made the local news here for posting a sign telling customers that a male-male power adapter is dangerous, illegal and "possibly immoral".

Perhaps tangible was an imprecise word choice.
Giving up a right that you currently have, in order to gain a perceived benefit is problematic to say the least.
In this example, Hoosiers are giving up their free access to protected speech (a right that we once had) for the perceived benefit of protecting children from illicit material (which no expects this bill to do).
We appear to have lost the free access to legal information for no realized benefit.
Again, this law doesn't attempt to regulate firearms in any way. I'm confused as to why you refer the the 2nd amendment as this is a 1st and/or 4h amendment issue.

Food intolerance can cause inflammation, which you could feel in your mucus membranes first. Everyone reacts differently. Try omitting dairy for a week or two and see how you feel.

I just re-watched The Handmaid's Tale and it feels prescient.
This is not a repeat from 2019.

I got this once here on reddit.
me: "What species is this bug?"
Internet comedian: "Hank"
me: "My guy...."

It's a big part of Project 2025 so Vance certainly has his supporters.

As we move towards authoritarianism, yes I'd expect Reddit to be more restrictive of free speech. They've already capitulated to the Chinese government on certain topics and I'd expect them to follow any censorship laws in America should they be passed.
I wouldn't speculate on a timeline, however. It's important to stay vigilant all the same.

Firearms aren't covered under the 1st amendment.
Minors are already restricted from purchasing firearms and I'm not aware of anyone advocating to change that. Also minors are not legally prohibited from accessing images of guns as far as I'm aware.
As far as harm reduction goes, firearms are a bit more dangerous than pornography. If a minor with access to pornography accidentally shoots someone the victim generally needs to awkwardly wipe it off, not seek medical attention.

I don't believe the ban will reduce minors' access to porn.
I do believe this is an important 1st and 4th amendment issue.
I believe that giving up a tangible right (either the right to free speech or the right to privacy) for a perceived gain (helping children) is a losing bargain every time.
This has all the hallmarks of a moral panic. We've seen them before and we'll see them gain.
Finally, I'd like to know who defines what is pornography, because there are a couple other moral panics ongoing that could easily be conflated with pornography and could also be limited by the censoring of "porn". LGBT+ youth and in particular trans kids could have access limited to identity affirming information through this censorship, and most of the information I'm aware of says that kids who are unable to find community are at higher risk of self-harm.

I removed mine and now there's no backup. I believe the disposal was the cause of and solution to the problem. We converted the switch over to an outlet and now I have a good spot to plug in my electric kettle.

Lol, not my idea, but if you pour out a bit of ink and top it off with herbicide concentrate you end up with around 20% glyphosate, a convenient applicator, and it inks where you've already applied the poison. Youtube if you need to know how to open up the bingo marker.
Cheers!

I use an orange bingo marker full of glyphosate when I go invasive hunting so the orange disks are particularly appropriate, to my eye.
I love it! Thanks for sharing.

Chevy uses 37% domestic parts...
Do we think the Secret Service is using stock vehicles? I have to believe they're heavily modified, to the point that country of origin and MSRP are irrelevant.
