I live in Detroit and I don’t get why people are scared. Yeah, there’s a few scary areas, but the city itself is safe with a great nightlife scene.

For a long time; crab, lobster, crayfish were seen by the upper class as bugs of the sea and were very inexpensive. It’s only relatively recently did they become hella expensive. My 8th birthday party, I remember getting a pound of snow crab legs (including sides) for $6.99 at a nice seafood restaurant. I was born in the 90s, so it wasn’t that long ago!
It’s like going from Michigan to Ohio… I’m a Michigander and can’t stand our roads. So many potholes
Does this mean that this hard-of-hearing girl is more talented than those that can’t do both? It feels good to think so haha. The only thing I hate is when the subtitle goes prematurely and ruins jokes.
I can have a bit of onion powder, but dried onions wreck my stomach
Yup! Those are just the tops of an onion plant
It’s hard. I still eat garlic on occasion, even though it makes me sick. Luckily, I’ve always had a bad reaction with an onion, so my body rejects the flavor too
It sucks having an allium intolerance… no one will take my garlic from me though, even if it makes me miserable later

Fun fact! California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Vermont allow for human composting as a form of body disposition; like cremation or burial.
I know this is four months old, but I’m getting nonstop gambling ads after googling how to block them and its driving me insane. I hate that I’m not alone in ad hell… I’ve lost people because of gambling addiction and it is RIDICULOUS that there isn’t a way to block ads for things that are dangerous, if they become addictive.
Oh definitely. I created a show after I had to stop mortuary work (genetic disability) because it’s fascinating. I even ran the Wayne State University Funeral History Museum for 3 years.
Yup! Human composting is only legal in Vermont, California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado right now.
That channel gets enough wrong that I can’t support it. The biggest thing wrong that I’ve heard a million times is that you don’t have to be embalmed. If there is going to be a viewing, more than 48 hours after death, even just with next of kin; there, legally, has to be embalming to stop the biohazard risk in most states. If you want a direct burial or cremation, you don’t need to be embalmed; but if the public will be around the deceased, embalming is almost always required. Even in those that aren’t mandatory after 48 hours, there’s a massive liability waiver because of how dangerous it is, and you won’t be able to touch them without gloves.
It’s allowed in Colorado, Vermont, Oregon, Washington, and California, so definitely becoming more widespread. I’m not sure if you need a specific mortuary, but the one I worked in Colorado (before the law passed) would work with all sorts of programs; Science Care (body donation), organ donation programs, the companies that turned your cremated remains into diamonds/glass art/coral reefs, the ones that shot cremated remains into space or had it mixed with fireworks or tattoo ink. There are a LOT of options for you postmortem 😅
Washington Colorado, California, Oregon and Vermont currently allow human composting, but the idea is spreading. Cremation, embalming, burials at a cemetery, even green burials are awful for the environment. They all require either chemicals, the use of gas, or the use of heavy machinery; sometimes all of them. The aforementioned states made it in such a way that you’re giving back to the environment and it’s a fuck ton cheaper. (Still need a Funeral home involved for transportation, biohazard protection, permits, government docs, etc. So it’s not free, but much more affordable)
There’s actually human composting now, too! (I’m a mortician)
My family is in New Zealand and every time I visit them, Air New Zealand blows my mind with their safety briefings. They are so much fun or straight up breathtaking. It’s brilliant.
My grandmother is convinced it’s still like that. She would not have let me go to WSU except it’s the only school in Michigan that offered a degree in Mortuary/Postmortem Science
