Do you know what has all of those adverse effects in much greater frequency while also having a profound effect on your life? Pregnancy

Yes, the medical field has done a fucking terrible job of communicating the adverse effects of anything to do exclusively with AFAB bodies - look up what an IUD insertion is like without anesthesia - but again, if we compare hormonal birth control to pregnancy in terms of adverse physiological and mental effects, it’s not even on the same planet.

Yeah, it might not be great for a sizable percentage of folks, and a minute percentage of folks have more immediately dangerous adverse effects that make taking hormonal birth control impossible, but in almost every case pregnancy is worse.

There’s an obvious reason to get pregnant, for sure, but it comes with much, much greater risks than preventing it, especially if you don’t want the intended outcome of pregnancy.

Gonna be honest, we should be thankful these freaks aren’t carrying themselves with dignity. People will respect horrible, horrible things done politely.

Maybe the couch asked to just cuddle…

Absolutely, fuck the police, but are you also teaching your children to never call an ambulance or the fire department? Are we also saying fuck paramedics and firefighters? Because, again, it’s the same goddamn number for both, and you don’t usually get the other services without the murder hobos tagging along.

Maybe we can focus on the murder hobos and not blaming a child for the actions of the murder hobos.

~~Yeah, 12 year old should know that calling 911 for help is literally murder! /s

He’s a literal child and was scared. He called for help. It’s gross to blame him or even imply he should know calling for help on the same line you call for fire and ambulances will cause an attempted murder.~~

ETA: I don’t know where I came up with him being 12, but the point about calling for help and the murder hobos being the same line as the helpers still stands. Blaming a 19 year old for calling 911 because the cops decided to try to murder someone is still gross.

…are you okay? Like, I get that you don’t like dogs and are frustrated with bad dog owners, but like, that seems a bit intense even for an Internet comment.

Or, most likely, both.

Accelerationism is the ideology of privileged idiots.

FTFY

A reminder to everyone that Costco sells caskets: https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html

And every funeral home legally has to allow you to purchase the casket elsewhere per the FTC: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/ftc-funeral-rule (That doc also has a lot of other useful tips in it.)

I don’t like having the root causes of my mental health issues put on display for everyone to see (though “month” or “year,” or maybe “lifetime” might be more accurate…)

“Probably”

No love for “H”? (I know it didn’t appear until the Gameboy game, but I basically exclusively play Contra III, so…)

West Sli’ide!

Depends on if it’s a credit to redeemed later or an immediate thing…

…or like “start prepping the moment you get home for the next one” sort of thing…

Could be pretty okay if you need regular colonoscopy, or it could be Hell; depends on the timing.

And your migraines!

Ummm, no…

Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN, Rupert Murdoch owns Fox (and does not own Warner Bros Discovery).

In the US, universities have a significant number of graduate degrees along with undergraduate degrees while colleges offer (almost) exclusively undergraduate degrees. My alma mater became a university shortly before I started because they started offering enough graduate degrees.

This, I think: https://apnews.com/article/elton-john-testifies-for-defense-kevin-spacey-sexual-assault-trial-68c1108bd46e5641bc10d0a5b3ccc785

Short version: the defense brought Elton and his husband to testify that Spacey wasn’t at the ball where one of the alleged attacks happened.

I don’t think testifing to factual matters (prossibly under subpoena) equates “defending,” but what do I know?
