And there are so many foods that can’t be grown in certain parts of the world, but I can get almost anything.
Even something as commonplace as a banana has to be shipped to a large portion of the world where it doesn’t grow natively.

There are a lot of potential reasons, and the fact that you’re curious is commendable.
While there’s no way for a stranger on the Internet to know, anecdotally I tend to push people away for a variety of reasons… maybe you’ll relate to some of them:
I really enjoy being alone
Caring about other people is a lot of work
If someone gets to know all of my quirks, they might reject me
I don’t like feeling vulnerable
I’m worried I’ll be jealous
I’m sure there are other reasons, but that’s triggered my self-loathing enough for one night.
Is it fair to say that no one is without some sort of addiction?
Watching the Simpsons in the 90s… Live, no streaming, no recordings. If I missed that intro my week was ruined.
I asked chatGPT how stem cells are collected:
From embryos: In the very early stages of development (usually from leftover embryos from fertility treatments), stem cells can be extracted. These are called embryonic stem cells and have the potential to turn into any cell type in the body.
From adult tissues: Adults have stem cells in certain parts of their bodies, like the bone marrow, fat tissue, and blood. These are called adult stem cells and can usually turn into a few specific cell types (not as flexible as embryonic ones).
From umbilical cord blood: After a baby is born, the blood from the umbilical cord and placenta is rich in stem cells. These cells are collected and can be stored for future medical use.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs): Scientists can take regular cells from the body, like skin cells, and reprogram them in a lab to behave like stem cells. These lab-created stem cells can act like embryonic stem cells and turn into many different types of cells.

tl;dr
California’s new law will require digital storefronts to clarify that consumers are buying licenses, not outright ownership of digital goods.
The law forces companies to use distinct language when selling digital media to specify license terms to avoid false advertising fines.
The law goes into effect next yea, but won’t apply to companies that offer “permanent offline downloads” of digital goods.

Thank you. I came to the comments to find comradery in my scepticism.
If I need to think, I prefer absolute silence (noise cancelling headphones).
If I’m doing something mindless, I’ll put on a podcast or audiobook.

Thank you
Bear looks like a good boi. Can you share a few of your favorite photos of him? ❤️
Humans only “mark their territory” in the bathroom… well, I hope so anyway
