I can see it being a safety issue in this case. If a woman is in an abusive relationship, having the charge show up as "Door Dash" on their credit card statement could be a lot safer than a charge from a pharmacy.

I've also used Door Dash to buy things for my friends who live several states away. Or using Door dash to get things when you're sick and don't want to leave the house and get other people sick is reasonable. There are quite a few non-lazy reasons for using Door Dash (but it is a certain amount of laziness most of the time).

It's really hard to pin down because of inconsistencies between manufacturers. I've had patients that got pellets and had no effects whatsoever, and some that got way too much because it dissolved too quickly. It also kind of matters who is implanting them and if they know what they're doing. (Pro tip, chiropractors and naturopaths do not know what the fuck they are doing.)

The problem with pellets is that they can release the hormones at uneven rates as they dissolve because they aren't perfectly homogeneous. There's also a chance that your body rejects it and forms a fibrous capsule around it that prevents it from releasing the hormones at all.

I am thoroughly ashamed of my country and I have been doing what I can to help those around me. I have no control over what the federal government does and I don't really have much influence to wield. In a few months, I'll be a physician and I can use that title and the power and privilege that comes with it to speak louder, but right now, as a student in the middle of the Twin Cities, there's not much I can do.

That is indeed the gun going off. It looks like there's a flash suppressor on there, but higher-resolution versions of the clip show the gas blow back from the bullet firing.

Yeah, I have him on Patreon, but I want to see the whole thing when it's done. He had a couple side videos on Patreon about Oreos that nearly amounted to a cookie crash out that were very amusing last year.

Look, the man is making feature-length films about rabbit holes he never expected to find. The "Roblox OOF!" video was supposed to be about 10-20 minutes, but then he found the Tommy Tallarico absurdity and just couldn't leave that part out.

IRL? H. Bomberguy

In fiction? Deadpool.

Honestly, a lot of bisexual and pansexual men and masculine characters are pretty well adjusted in part due to the fact that they are comfortable with who they are as a person and know what kinds of things make men attractive. Way too many men these days have a completely warped idea of what other people find attractive in men and toxic masculinity is built on a framework of those misconceptions.
