I’m also going to think the absinence-only education plays a role. I know people in their 20s today who didn’t understand: lube, protection, HIV, pregnancy. Some of them were HIV+ before they knew what happened. People are confused and uneducated. Thanks Christians!

No, you can’t blame consumers for corporations bad behavior, consumers act in their own self interest, not a collective self interest. This is precisely why we have regulations.

This is interesting. I’ve been setting up our non-profit’s new grant-funded Azure VM, then Wordpress site, then CiviCRM, then hardening it all, and I’m hoping to offer this as a (volunteer) turnkey service to a few other nonprofits in town. And it’s amazing to me how many hours this still takes, and how out of reach it is for the average nonprofit.

The GOP spent 40 years building a Big Tent Coalition. Their message was simple - if you share some of our values, you’re one of us.

The Dems have spent the past 10 years building a Shrinking Tent. Their message is now simple - unless you share every single value, down to a specific level of support for each community, you’re not one of us.

And look who’s winning.

I am the donor for a lesbian couple. I’m pretty involved in my son’s life. I took him for his third haircut. Midway through, he was bored, and shooting me one of the angriest looks I’ve ever gotten from him. I took a pic and sent it to his mom.

“Oh god look how mad he is, give him your phone!”

What? He’s being quiet and learning how to be patient while a haircut happens. Some parents think reality is a BAD substitute for devices, it seems.

At least one night a week, he comes to my house and plays without any screens. We talk and explore the world.

Ding ding ding

One day I looked at the Everytown for Gun Safety placard in my window and realized, this is the problem too, we need to yield some battles to not cede the war.

But that was when there was still hope for that

Oh thank god I was afraid some more kids might not get talked into suicide by a fucking server

The simple act of comparing signatures meant that it was very difficult to randomly target people. We don’t have anything like that today, like a key/token pair.

Down to the head wound and everything, this is why I think simulation theory has weight. Revelations was written about contemporary politics of the day, yet we are now getting an odd accounting of it, reality itself seems to be acting different than it did a decade ago. This is the point in the game where they just add crazy shit to see what happens (he’s a child rapist but that makes him more popular)

A lot of folks still believe someone is coming to save them. It’s fascinating. But it’s why we’re so badly fucked, yeah.

Oh my God trump thinks he’s trading Alaska for Greenland. It just clicked.

I got tired of waiting for UMR to get around to approving my MRI so I went inpatient and stayed at the hospital for 2 days on their dime having an emergency MRI and surgery which could have been outpatient, had they been willing to work quickly.

Everyone should be forming real-life groups on discord, be in cells, be part of several, everyone should be linked like chain mesh.

B/W film was still cheaper through the 80s and so color photography was very much optional.

Right that was the old idea, but it’s not accurate.

Purity tests are one of the biggest downfalls of the left.

That’s what he said

Mmm no the character was actually based on his father, Shyguy Boo Bowser

Easier than you think, just a week or two of minor side effects, headache being the worse. Tylenol helps.

Your energy starts rebounding after only a few days, within a month or two, you feel a sustained, normal amount of energy through your day that doesn’t suddenly spike and drop.

And then after a few months you forget why you stopped, and start drinking that amazing coffee again <-- I am here
