I remember when a relative still had a feeding tube they were leaving in just in case and he accidently yanked it out. I believe we put paper towels and blue tape over it and he called the doctor. the doctor was like ‘oh it’s self sealing it’s fine’ and my relative was all ‘doc…please look at it…’ so we took him in and he got a proper bandage and told it did in fact look fine.
This poor florida man…
part of the impetus for creating ao3 was a series of content purges intended to hit bad evil content also hitting, for instance, support groups for survivors, and g rated content if it was also gay.
its code is open source so i genuinely think people with their own ideas about moderation should take advantage of that or anything else (wordpress?) to make an archive. if there are good stories on it, i’ll visit. There should be more archives in general.
There are some scripts that might help? https://openuserjs.org/scripts/sarken/Blurb_Blocker https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/3578-ao3-saved-filters But it would be nice if it was easier.
Thank you for making the joke first so I can pretend I didn’t come to this post to make it. I’m just here for important political conversations, yup.
I remember when it first came out to “mixed reviews” a lot of people said they were planning on mods finishing the game and making it fun for them.
i recently also adopted a bonded pair and it’s such a good idea. the scaredy cat of the two settled in really fast since he’d be hiding and then see his niece walking around getting pet and purring (not being attacked by the terrible humans who stuck him in a box just the other day) and he’d poke his head out.
plus, you’re always getting to walk into a room a find them cuddling adorably. it’s great!
That one person was probably just trolling, but nowadays teens are much less likely to be sexually active than in previous decades.

By the late 1960s, however, the civil rights movement and rioting in Northern cities highlighted the national scale of racial injustice and overshadowed Griffin’s experiment in the South. Black Like Me, said activist Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture), “is an excellent book—for whites.” Griffin agreed; he eventually curtailed his lecturing on the book, finding it “absurd for a white man to presume to speak for black people when they have superlative voices of their own.”
He might need some time to adjust to the change in routine? It’s tough to say. I had one cat about your cat’s age who was very social and routine oriented. After his wild adjustment period, he settled in, and he would sleep all night. I hope consistency is all you need, too, but my cat might’ve been a weirdo.
Another cat figured out nighttime was when humans sleep only after closing her into the other half of the house when she wouldn’t let us rest.
This lawsuit is like an ad for her show, and she doesn’t even need one.
I agree that part of a way to deal with it socially is to not, like, ruin peoples lives when there are nude or pornographic images of them out there. When you lose your job because your ex posted a sex tape with you online and attached your name, and now you’re struggling to keep your house - that’s a devastating consequence, regardless of how someone personally feels about porn of them being online.
I think we should all be like “it could even just be AI” to our more conservative acquaintances when they’re worked up because someone posted gay porn of a local teacher in their group chat.
That was the only method that really worked for my first cat - an enormous stray. So now I do it by default. It seems mean, but it doesn’t hurt them and any method that takes less time I think is less traumatizing. I hope?
If more trans kids live until adulthood and/or can safely come out, there might be enough just around that they’re seen as natural human variation, and then how will conservatives use them as a scapegoat during hard times?? Think of “think of the children” republicans, and their needs! They have to throw atypical kids into a pyre as an example, or people might just live their lives how they want without fear. What will they do then?
I had the idea that electricity had been tried for paralysis, and I looked it up and ben franklin did experiments to try and cure it with shocks.

I wonder if the difference was targeting? The type of paralysis? The podcast Sawbones did an episode on the history of electricity in medicine that was pretty interesting. I might relisten.

There are some not exclusively cosmetic reasons to do this, I guess. I was going to say people should wait until there’s a larger body of evidence from medical procedures before getting it done cosmetically, but apparently people have been tattooing their eyes forever and the newness is just from the more modern procedures.
I’m still struggling, though. I’ve got crap eyesight but can’t bring myself to get them lasered, so I really can’t unemotionally evaluate this. There’s an image in that article I linked that will haunt me. I hope it turns out to be safe, if it’s going to be a fad.
Human beings are social creatures and will strive for connection even when it’s dangerous. The problem isn’t the person looking, because there will always be people who are bad at protecting themselves. If they hadn’t found this man, they’d find another, because they are targeting gay men.
So don’t worry. No one’s perfect, so if they hadn’t found this guy, you could be smug about someone else.
I was in college around the same time and recall doing my usual minimum research for a new system and still to this day think “acer’s crap, right?” when someone mentions it, even though the memory of why is gone.
Yeah, but one strategy against christian attempts to force themselves into schools is to have a number of different religious organizations request the same right.
