I wish them success and safety.
Yeah like 8 inches of air in an IV tube is even okay (once I low key panicked when I saw that much coming at me in IV and they said it was fine).
One more step is make a backup of the wallet and keep it in cloud storage if you have any significant amount of money in it. With a strong password and 2FA on the cloud storage if possible, + a strong password on the wallet.
Opera can actually be kinda fun, especially if it's in a language you understand. It's (mis)understood to be stuffy and boring now, but back in the day it was low-brow entertainment.
The working class needs help more than the middle class. We don't need to have people be poor. Poverty should be eliminated.
Whereas in the US, what little scientific research there is definitely isn't publicly funded through grants. But if it was, it would be okay because white people are doing it.
Theoretically, he has a lot more latitude to do terrible things. He doesn't have to worry about polling ever again, and the courts have stated he can't be held accountable for anything he does in the purview of his office.
On the plus side, zero spam texts today.
Seven of the 10 states that had an abortion ballot initiative passed one.
Arizona - Increased ban from 15 weeks to 24 weeks.
Colorado - Public state workers get abortion covered in their health insurance (it was already legal) in a state constitutional amendment.
Maryland - Constitutional amendment to shield health providers and doctors from charges for providing abortion services.
Missouri - Passed Amendment 3 to the Missouri constitution, really great win. This is defined in the text as the right to make and carry out decisions about all matters relating to reproductive healthcare including abortion, prenatal care, miscarriage care and more. Starting December 6th, Missourians can start suing the government to overturn now-unconstitutional abortion bans! (Side note, this may cover trans healthcare, but it will need to be tested in court to find out. Not explicit in the text).
Montana - In an amendment to the state Constitution, passed a quite comprehensive defense against the most common anti-abortion attacks.
Nevada - This one is kinda confusing. The first in a series of two ballot initiatives have passed to protect abortion until viability (24 weeks) has passed. However, to add it to the constitution, another initiative has to pass in 2026. It is currently legal abort up to 24 weeks by state law.
New York - Strengthened protections for trans medical care and abortion in the state constitution.
Florida failed to pass with 57% (needed 60%)
South Dakota - failed to pass with under 40% approval
Nebraska - Adds the 12 week ban on abortion to the state constitution.
Yeah, there should be a flag set on a normal shutdown that is required for updates.
Or just use Linux and update at your convenience.
Well I would need to turn off my phone because I get like 12 spam political texts every day and one usually beats the filter.
This is indistinguishable from choosing a cashier because you know them and want to briefly talk.
Half of all sets in 2025 will be non Magic IP. So this will be an ongoing problem.
Wikipedia is by definition out of date behind the news. I'm sure it was true when they wrote it, but that was weeks or months ago.
They're referring to Mary, it's the Catholic version of saying "my god"

In 5 to 15 years, Russian :gamer:s could have a portable console.
No paywall. Lots of glib jokes about the russia-ukraine war and balconies in the article though.
It's 2034, on the morning of January 25th in New York City. I wake up, roll out of bed and quietly open the window to let the 70 degree dirty air inside without waking my 7 roommates (all sleeping in here with me, of course). Then I check my VR glasses to see where the cheapest Wendy's breakfast sandwich surge pricing is and put it in Googazon Maps. The subway was abolished in 2028, but the cheap Wendy's today is only a 40 minute detour from my car commute to Manhattan. I have to take a second detour around the Bronx because the levies broke again today. I catch a morning war report from President Hunter Brandon's State Department to make sure the highway wasn't bombed by American Zionist drone strikes.

I am still continuing to radicalize my parents on Israel/Palestine as often as I can get away with. Today, I explained to them what white phosphorous is and how often Israel is using it. And where it is manufactured (it's the USA, folks, in good old St Louis, MO).
If you don't know already, white phosphorous is

this sticky goo that bursts into flame on contact with the air, then it burns the skin of the victims and poisons you by entering the holes that just burned up, causing liver damage and eventually multiple organ failure.
Also mentioned that Israel destroyed nearly every hospital in Gaza, so no treatment for those women and children burned with chemical weapons.
My mom searched "white phosphorus israel" and saw that Israel did a white phosphorus attack on a Jabalia refugee camp on October 31, killing 195+ civilians (they're all civilians, it's a FUCKING REFUGEE CAMP).

Comrades, on a recent mutual aid comm post, I received 8 upbears on my bump comment and zero other bump comments. This is a ROOKIE MISTAKE! Don't just give me heckin comment upvoterinos, BUMP IT YOURSELF! The more people that see mutual aid comm posts, the more mutual aid happens. You don't necessarily need money to contribute in this regard.
Comment mutual aid poats to bump for active sort. Also upvote the post, which helps it show up on Hot.
I heard that the official sour warheads soda isn't sour and at least one user on here is sad about it.
You should know that Malic Acid and Citric Acid (and also Lactic Acid, often used in sour beers) are available as concentrated food-safe powders. You can use them in mixed drinks, including turning that boring apple, grape, watermelon, or lemon-lime soda into something you really shouldn't pour down your throat. Nobody is stopping you.
For people who aren't spice-lords or sour-lords, here is a video with some more "normal" and less extreme culinary uses for acids from America's Test Kitchen on YouTube.

CW: I will discuss body dismorphia, or the (seeming) lack thereof I feel when thinking what it would be like to have been assigned the wrong gender. Also I describe sexual roles and thinking about having different anatomy.
Ok, so I've previously read Trans Liberation by Leslie Feinberg and I care about gender insofar as it takes to ensure all gender nonconforming people get healthcare, feel safe in public life, etc. I also will/have changed my language as much as it takes to make my trans comrades feel comfortable. With that out of the way:
I am a cis male, and I guess I am mostly okay with the body I've been given. I prefer to be called him, but I would only be a little annoyed if someone used she/her or they/them to describe me. If I try to imagine my body with a vagina and developing breasts in puberty with my current state of mind, I don't feel very much discomfort. I don't feel particularly attached to the role of penetrating another partner as a gay guy who enjoys bottoming more than topping. If I was forced to wear dresses to church growing up, I don't imagine I would be very distressed.
I do value the relative ease of building muscle that comes with having a male hormonal profile, and I guess dealing with having a female hormonal profile could be alarming, but mostly because it's not what I'm used to. But before puberty, I also wasn't used to having a bunch of testosterone.
On some level, I understand that it can be traumatic to be the target of violence and hate speech, or to be denied medical care. I'm speaking from a position of relative privilege.
Does this mean I'm possibly non-binary? Or something else? I feel content to be assumed as male, but I don't feel that strongly about it. And the title question again, does anybody else who is cisgender or otherwise just not have strong feelings about their own gender?
