I could so understand that! I’m not super familiar with their products beyond looking into things for this post, but I feel like their branding would be on their official products 🤔 If another company is making something similar and using their branding, that would be pretty disastrous.

Disappointing :( It seemed like their overall production quality is what made them popular and revered, so going after someone who won’t be able to source the same materials and match the same production scale does seem super low.

I got curious and did a bit of searching since I couldn’t really think of anything. Apparently Fender (guitars) was originally amazing, was sold to another company and really degraded in overall quality, and then was purchased back by some of its engineers and returned to a better quality. Pretty nice to see that people who were actually passionate about something regaining control and saving something they loved.

Cannabis is so much more than just THC and CBD. There’s hundreds of different compounds- terpenes and flavonoids alone completely change how one strain or sample affects an individual. It’s honestly a travesty that it’s been demonized and locked away from real research.

For decades I’ve managed so many aspects of my health through very intentional dosing. I know the dominant terpene profiles I have the most success with along with the different THC:CBD ratios. Unfortunately, I had to give up something that worked perfectly for me as I have no income and insurance obviously won’t cover cannabis. It’s so demoralizing being back on prescribed drugs that not only don’t feel good or work as well with my mind and body, but can literally kill me if I take too much or stop incorrectly.

Right? I feel like they think it’s a serious thing. My girlfriends and I use the term ironically, as I imagine most people do. I don’t really think any of us are too concerned if other people care if we look good, competent, whatever when we use it. Just something to giggle about.

Now if we want to go after gendered phrases - I think ‘man up’ should cause anyone being told that to stay far away from whoever is saying it.

Maybe you need to make the experience better? I saw that you have a water bottle, but I personally find drinking straight from a bottle or canteen less enjoyable. What has helped me was making it more a ‘ritual.’ I have a cute stainless steel canteen, and when I’m at home I also have a nice glass. Pouring water into a glass cup and drinking from there just feels nicer. I use a specialty glass that’s more designed for drinking coffee, and it makes the water feel so much smoother and overall more enjoyable.

Cleaning a little glass cup is also easier than washing a canteen or bottle.

It’s been many years since I used my phone for games, but I do remember suuuuper liking Kairosoft games! They were very cute, straightforward, and progression felt fun. They also didn’t have any micro transactions. They’re kind of simulation type games, but they are also very approachable for new players!

Firm, slightly green still.

Yellow, fully ripe bananas, are high in fructans which for me and many others, cause digestion issues, discomfort, and that lingering taste/feeling.

I was slightly critical of this post and tone, buuuut after checking all the recent posts…it is quite excessive.

I think the general post about the new instance is perfect, and maybe including a link to a nsfw specific ‘new communities’ sub that’s part of the new instance.

You might try changing the sort or filter to new or hot. Mine was defaulted to active I think, and no posts loaded until I adjusted sorting.
