@MelegReizinger Insects and snails and similar things have been used in dyes for as long as we've had dyes. As long as they're food-safe (which this is) there's no real issue. The only question is why the food needs to be dyed at all.
@VautismSpeaks Apparently my daughter's classmate expressed confusion over her having a Minecraft backpack because "that's for boys". This was in first grade. She switched to using a different backpack, despite my reassurances. Thankfully she still enjoys playing the game, at least.
@etirabys My mother-of-five take? Probably under six months (the recommended age for solids) to whenever after that time you would first have to deliberately deny them the chance to try it. Healthy food is good, but don't stress. Their first taste of chocolate isn't going to ruin them.
@vibegender Nothing against air fryers, but I've never lived in a place where I didn't want more counter/storage space than I had, so if I'm buying a small appliance specifically for cooking small portions, I'm going for a nice toaster oven with a convection setting. More versatile.
@fatherind Some will simultaneously complain/make fun of the place names based on Native languages. I think it's just the fact that complaining is apparently a very popular British sport.
@bigscarypriv@Boxy_FT There IS a card issued to each voter when they register to vote. It doesn't have a photo, though, and is literally thin cardboard that won't survive accidentally going through the wash. It's more for the voter to have the info THEY need than for ID.
@InkfaceFahz Personally I tend to prefer longer works, which applies to published material as well. However, if the quality is too poor I won't make it beyond the first four or five hundred words, making the length irrelevant
@LivingWithTola My oldest writes all her assignments down and stays on top of them with no intervention from me whatsoever. My second has ADHD, and if she's going to do well in school I need to know what homework she has, if she's done it, AND if she's actually turned it in.
The Twitch mobile app is so bad. What do you mean if there's an ad playing I can't see the stream title or category OR swap out of full screen mode or change ANYTHING AT ALL? The number of times I've just fully closed the app because it's holding my screen hostage.
When I opened Twitter just now it took over my ENTIRE screen to beg me to buy a blue checkmark at a discounted price. Like, why? Why would I PAY YOU for something that has come to mean "can't trust anything this person says, they're reaction baiting for money"?
@khalnero I believe blood type is its own test, so if you get an sti panel or something it isn't necessarily one of the things included. Also, from personal experience, even if the hospital has your blood type ON FILE they may want to check again before a surgery or whatever.
@luhsouff Regularly. I wear light makeup for special occasions or as part of "dressing up," but have absolutely no reason to wear it to go shopping or drop my kids off at an activity. I love being able to rub my face or eyes or kiss my husband and not worry something is getting smudged
@muffiniscuteee Middle school is a really common time to take a language of some kind, and Latin isn't as uncommon an option in the US as you'd maybe expect. Surprisingly useful for English speakers, as it helps you to understand lots of technical (medical especially) terms
@OctoAbbi It's really weird how often women are assumed to be exaggerating pain. You have to have some kind of "proof" that you know what real pain is. My multiple medication-free births have been sufficient to be taken seriously thus far, but why is that necessary?!?
@neblicore It 100% IS worth seeing a doctor if your periods are significantly worse than average, but no, they can't always find a problem. It's an understudied area. I think the issue is people using "normal" or "common" to mean "everything is fine." It's not, even if we can't fix it.
@loseuparrow He's very good and is playing really well right now. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins. But while his current leaderboard stats are INCREDIBLE very few of his games have been against playoffs-level opponents
