  • Best to take more tests. First thing in the morning is often recommended as it can raise the concentration of possible hCG in your urine, making false negatives less likely. If possible and safe for you to do so, a blood test is usually much more accurate, with a lower detection threshold.

    I know it’s probably really stressful and causing a lot of anxiety but, try to do what you can to keep yourself calm and do self care, like drinking chamomile tea or whatever helps you. If it’s super stressful, just take things one day or one hour at a time and try not to put any pressure on yourself for any decisions that you may or may not need to make. You don’t even have the data yet.

    Hope that whatever the result that you have as good of a day as you can.






  • Originally from the PNW as well! I have chosen “fancy beer” most of my life. When I was younger and looking to get trashed, the higher ABV and better flavor made due a good bargain. Now that I don’t really tend to get trashed, I like to drink “fancy beer” because I enjoy the flavor still.

    A little tip, if you still live in the area:

    If you homebrew and have soda kegs, February is about the optimal time for “no-chill” brewing. Just rack the hot wort into a corney keg, seal, and flip it to ensure pasteurization. After letting it sit for a few mins to become sterile, flip back upright and put outside in the cold (ideally in a bit of snow if available) and you get a bit of a cold crash while still not needing to use a chiller.


  • American here: American Light Lagers, like those of the BMC brands, are both one of the hardest styles to brew well and one of the worst crimes ever committed against brewery. They’re hard to brew because there is so little flavor that the slightest off-taste can ruin a batch. That’s also the reason that they are so terrible; they are little more than ethanol delivery systems that have enough malt proteins to sometimes have a head.

    Want to get fucked up without tasting much? They’re probably the next best choice after a very neutral vodka. If you have interest in anything beyond intoxication, like actually enjoying the beverage, then, pretty much any other American or European style is a better choice.




  • Funny they blame people being against genocide by Nazi state like Israel yet stay silent on the millions of dollars Kamala received by Zionist lobbyists to continue a campaign so disliked by everyone.

    Funny that the anti-electoralists and protest vote crowd were just fine with enabling the installation of another nazi state but in the US that would provide more support to the ongoing genocide and expand it to other areas like LGBTQ+ people and aiming to start another world war. The least that they could do is take responsibility for their actions but, I don’t see that happening.
