There’s a hard line drawn between those who can disassociate in emergency situations and function and those who can’t. I only use it for first aid and safety situations but I’ll never begrudge medical professionals for chatting while doing compressions unless the chatting starts hindering the compressions.
Why? It’s a logical outcome of the combination of mass surveillance and draconian anti abortion laws. This is the sort of shit the judicial construction of the implied right to privacy was kinda built around stopping. This is just straight up the sort of shit Snowden warned us of.
So yeah, the federal government (and likely state as well), who have the data from your personal devices to understand far more of your sex life than you want your friends knowing, much less your Senator, are able to purchase or subpoena data from menstrual tracking apps and will do as the law tells them to. The law, meanwhile is written by a group of people who are vastly disproportionately elderly men with little to know understanding of any branch of science or medicine. A group notable for comments like the assumption that ecoptic pregnancies can be replanted and that presenting a snowball disproves global warming. The one gynecologist of note to have been in Congress in recent memory being Ron fucking Paul, who incidentally was anti choice.
To sum my previous paragraph to a thesis statement: people who have no idea how bodies work and couldn’t tell a Skene’s gland from a vas deferens and disproportionately think pee comes out the vagina get to decide the rules by which people who know every aspect of your life that they choose to look for decide if your menstrual irregularities are normal or an illegal abortion.
Unfortunately I’m in the process of fleeing my state that I’ve always been proud of its Union history. The Confederates have taken the home of Sherman, grant, and brown in a bloodless coup… This ain’t the Ohio that was my home anymore, it needs to be reconstructed just as surely as Virginia
I’ll take it over an uncontested fascist takeover
Yeah. The best time to do this was a week ago. The next best time is for the next four years
Oh absolutely. My wife and I call them as Christian atheists. As the saying goes the god they don’t believe in is Jehova.
And the thing is, I’m trying not to be overly Christian in my paganism, but the anarchist philosophy that I hold dear, while the absolute antithesis of the Christianity of my nation, is close enough to the teachings of a certain rabbi from the early Roman Empire. But by approaching syncretically I don’t have to look at other religion as devoid of truth. Instead I see truth where I find it and keep the truth that helps.
It’s nice to see this war proving that nuclear disarmament is unwise both for peaceful nations wishing to maintain stable borders and for aggressor nations seeking to invade the neighbors who gave up their nukes.
Like, given Ukrainian history it’s kinda shocking they gave them up, even with all the assurances they were given.
I agree. My patron deity as a pagan is a means of resistance. She’s a reminder that people like me predate the written word. The Sumerian creation story I know involves humans having labor negotiations with the gods.
Something similar in Columbus. I’ve never washed clothes there, but I have been to punk shows there
Oh I meant of your alternative suggestion. I definitely know that exchange lol
He’s also ignoring the cost of your time. At home I can do other chores or whatever I want as the washer and dryer go. At the laundromat I’m sitting there on my phone waiting. Also transporting the dirty clothes is a pain in the ass with a car, I’d hate it so much if I didn’t have one.
Cheap apartments sometimes don’t have them. My first apartment had neither a laundry machine nor a dishwasher (I honestly consider the latter more critical). I’ve also had in building shared washing machines which also sucked but sucked significantly less
I’ve definitely experienced romance in a laundromat, it was a place where I had basically nothing but time and was freshly out on my own. It was a place I could focus on texting someone I was falling for.
Also it’s one of those things I will struggle to avoid any chance I can get in the future because that time translated to an hour and a half long chore that’s mostly waiting where I couldn’t do much else. It fucking sucked lol.
Oh also there’s a bar with live music in a laundromat that I’ve been to, alcohol and punk music can definitely up the vibes
Could you provide an example?
Oop is infamously a moron on the political side of the internet. Whenever leftist content creators want cheap and easy dunks he’s the go to because he’s big enough to be fair game and dumb enough that it takes like no effort without being so big his fans will cause you problems.
I bet dim tool the Russian fool says that every four years
Playing everyone but the Trojan champion.
Ok but now he needs to be in an adaptation of the Iliad
Good. Bring on the economic pain. The worst case scenario is if he actually improved things while doing the evil he promised
If they didn’t want to deal with punks they shouldn’t deal with art students. I hear the business students are perfectly pleasant if you lobotomize yourself.
