When I get logged out, the front page tries to shove this kind of shit at me, pretty sure there was a housekeeping olympics one I saw at some point.

Got hit with a full cognito hazard while at work today. One of the patients had fox news on and I just happened to be in the room while they were talking about the supreme court case regarding bans on trans people in sports.

TransphobiaThey refused to ever use the word transgender, just 'biological men' every time. Usually I don't have to hear anything from these ghouls while at work because most of my regulars like watching game shows or shit like Matlock. Just kinda shitty being stressed out having to float and learn an entire new floor and then just hear this absolute dogshit at the same time.

Pretty sure soon after Maduro was kidnapped I saw them doing almost a weather forecast showing how drugs come from venezuela into the US in passing while at work. Fucking wild what people just accept as normal.

I've gotten pretty deep into Vintage Story lately, my first winter is on the horizon, added a bunch of mods, got a mod that nerfed the ever loving shit out of crop yields where I'd get 7 onions where otherwise I'd get 40, so I'm probably going to survive on mushrooms as my veggie source. Found a different mod to let me do crop breeding. Also chiseling is fucking amazing as a basegame feature.

I've been on Valerate 20mg/mL 0.25mL Q14 days for a while now, used to have massive mood swings if I missed a dose but these days I've not noticed such huge swings. I went PO for a few years in the middle and my consistency tanked needing it QID, going back has meant I really don't need blockers anymore which is nice since I suck at remembering to take pills.

Sounds about right for the US. It'd cost a company millions to hire more people, it'll cost them maybe 0.00001% of their profits for a wrongful death.

This version effectively killed him in Japan, hasn't been in TV commercial since 2007.

6 is early? I eat between 430 and 530 normally but I also start work at 7am and am usually in bed around 9, eating after 630 usually means a night of heartburn because I probably have hiatal hernia.

I went back and forth for a while in my 20s trying to find someone and feeling this crushing loneliness and despair that I'd never find a partner and then I just stopped caring. The first few dates I got were terrible.

First one we talked for hours in a dunkin' donuts and I think neither of us could figure out how to end the conversation so we kinda ended up arguing about politics. I burned the shit out of my tongue on the tea. Neither of us reached out after that.

Another we met and had lunch, ended up walking up and down the street window shopping and chatting, didn't feel like a terrible experience at the time but with hindsight it was a rather awkward mess and I just wasn't good at picking up on her subtleties.

Another one was just us chatting online for a while, she was living across the country from me and I just didn't pick up on flirting at all so I just kinda kept talking about nerd shit and it worked for a while until my suspicions got the better of me and I just ghosted her after thinking it was a romance scam because why else would someone talk to me and keep sending unsolicited risque photos.

Last one was the one that made me give up, we started chatting, had a few common interests. We had talked about what flavor of leftism we subscribed to, I said I was ML while she said she was into market socialism. We hopped into a voice call with one another to play Stellaris multiplayer a few days later, got to like 50 years in, I snaked my borders out and destroyed the infinity machine and that upset her, 10 minutes later she just quit out of nowhere, ghosted me, and then randomly every 6 months would come back and insult me the most unrelated shit imaginable until I finally just blocked her.

I'm happy to be alone. I've found enjoyment in pursuing who I am and I don't feel like I need someone else to validate that any more. Doesn't help that every time I've tried to test the waters it's so abysmally awful to even try that I have no incentive to try any more.

I the comparison to the swastika is far more apt, it was and remains a religious symbol in many parts of the world, it's just that in the west a swastika is now permanently associated with hatred and genocide. You see media getting altered for a western release because the prominence of a swastika because a general audience won't see the religious symbol, but the symbol of a genocide. It's an inevitability at this rate.

I think it's funny that the next obvious solution is that the child has two dads and everyone seems to ignore it as well.

 

Look at that hippo go

 

The commentary afterwards just sorta highlights a difference in culture. Nobody in the west gives a shit about critical infrastructure workers braving the elements to speak about them so reverently.

This show is drawn from one of our grassroots electric workers. He travels far and wide, regardless of hardships and severe cold, bringing light and warmth to thousands of families

Love how this got just shoved in my face today and once you get past the preamble, the Hamas bashing, you just get the exact same argument of Trump Bad. They have nothing and will have nothing but contempt for anyone that cares.
