Masturbation among birds is ‘natural’ and should not be punished, say experts
16d 14h ago in nottheonion from www.theguardian.comAn investigation into acts of self-pleasure among parrots and other birds has reached a climax, with the results providing welcome relief for vets and researchers, not to mention the birds themselves.
Asked if they showed any signs of self-loathing or Catholic guilt, Heys thought not. “I don’t want to say satisfied, but they do look different after they finish. It’s obviously doing something for them.”
Someone was having a little too much fun with this article.
Do you volunteer?
1mon 25d ago in asklemmyNot as much as I used to, sadly. I don't remember what the first thing I volunteered for was but I suspect I started doing it because I was asked. I volunteered a lot more when I worked at a company that encouraged community service and would give their employees time to do volunteer work during business hours.

Me:

When I first started taking Vyvanse (lisdexamphetamine) I felt similar. Most of the effects were positive. One of the not so great ones was that it kind of removed my verbal "restraint", since I felt much more confident and much less anxious. For a while I had to keep a mental check on that that. For instance, if someone at work says something really stupid, I couldn't just says, "That's a really dumb ass idea." Even though that's what I felt like saying.
Eventually my brain acclimated to the meds and everything leveled out. I've been taking the max dosage for years with no issues.

I have a routine that rivals a priest on Easter Sunday. But the best written homily doesn't undo the fact that the organist is about to start the prelude and for the life of me, I can't figure out where those damned communion wafers have gone even though I swear I just saw them!

Suspenders were on the table. Went with overalls because I don't need them often and they're cheaper to replace than jeans.
