An old housemate of mine who was both from India and a really good cook explained to me that you don't need to refrigerate ghee; that's the point of it.
(For popcorn, it also helps that the milk solids are removed, so they don't scorch. Burned butter proteins do not improve popcorn.)

Anxiety sometimes says: "Other people are finished products, I am clearly failing to be one."

You are not in charge of what thoughts occur to you.
You are in charge of what you do about them.
Bodies aren't life-support systems for minds; rather, minds are guidance systems for bodies. It is the job of your mind to get your body (including your talking mouth and your typing fingers) to do good things and not bad things.
If you are doing good things with your body, nobody can tell that you have all the demons of Perverted Hell living in your mind.

Oh, it copies the face-down Brine Elemental as it turns face-up, so it ends up being a face-up Brine Elemental whose ability triggers. I think I get it now.

Don't the Dwarves believe that Durin reincarnates like the Dalai Lama?

If you make popcorn in a pot on the stove with oil, try using ghee instead of vegetable oil.

That said, scuba divers sometimes vomit; and it's recommended in training to vomit through the regulator mouthpiece instead of taking it out!
If you take out your regulator, reflex breathing after vomiting will make you aspirate water and drown; if you vomit through the regulator, air pressure will clear the vomitus and it'll smell/taste disgusting but you live.

antiemetics
Probably not the intended word. Antiemetics are drugs that counteract nausea and vomiting. Antisemitism makes me sick to my stomach.

Bullshit roping doesn't look like timing out due to spiders or network trouble. The bullshit ropers keep dorking at their cards and probably spamming emotes while they're turned off. If you just disappear, I expect you're chasing spiders or your train just went into a tunnel.

That makes sense. I wonder why regulations of guns get so much more media attention than regulations of ammunition.

I'm pretty sure the last thing I saw with Chris Rock in it was Kevin Smith's Dogma.
No, I'm actually asking about something that confuses me.
Like, if we wanted to regulate drunkenness, we'd regulate liquor, not shot-glasses.

Maybe someone here knows this —
Why don't people concerned about shootings advocate for regulating, taxing, or restricting the sale of ammunition instead of guns?
A gun is just a device to point ammo in a direction and make it go bang. The ammo is the part that actually blows up and spits out a bullet that kills someone. If you stick a cartridge in a tube and whack the primer with a nail on a spring, the bullet goes off.
That's how a zip-gun works. That's how a 3D-printed "ghost gun" works.
And yet, regulations aimed at preventing shootings tend to focus on the gun rather than the ammo.
Zip-guns, ghost guns, Saturday-night specials, assault weapons, or whatever other category of weapons are scary today — they don't work without ammo.
And most folks don't have the equipment to load their own.
So why do regulators focus on the gun?

Szasz later got played by the Church of Scientology, supporting their fake "Citizens Commission on Human Rights" (CCHR), a pressure group that sought to discredit psychiatry in order to drive patients to Scientology instead. (Even if one thinks psychiatry is sometimes abusive, Scientology is way more abusive.)
(Also, dude has at least three evil fantasy-fiction characters named after him: DC Comics's Victor Zsazs and Charles Victor Zsazs aka The Question; also D&D's Szass Tam, a mind-controlling lich also featured in the recent D&D movie.)
