Wish you a speedy post-drome. I had migraines for a year in the past, and the thought of going through that again fills me with dread.

Slogans in foreign languages are sometimes considered prestigious or exotic. They’re saying it for the vibes, not for the literal meaning of the words.

Anyone who is picking up their pitch forks at the offender needs to read this thread first. Before you unload your rage, consider taking what the victim did as a learning opportunity.

It was 3:30am in the morning when the shot happened. The neighbor who discharged the firearms rushed downstairs to check on the woman who’s PC was shot, thankfully finding that she was not hurt. She was distraught, frantic, and told the PC owner that she will never own a firearm again and pay for all damages. They talked, and the PC owner learned that her daughter just passed away. A police report was still filed, but the PC owner isn’t pressing charges. They’re getting margaritas later together.

Let me be clear that this absolutely does not excuse what this woman did. However, what the PC owner did likely saved her neighbor’s life. You see, at 3:30am in morning, there is only typically one thing people would do with a fire arm, to themselves.

Anyone would be in their right to be angry at this woman after what she did. But the PC owner extended her compassion and became this woman’s friend at a time when she had every reason not to.

What the headline could have been was ‘woman commits suicide after negligent discharge’, but it was not. Imagine if the PC owner was the last person who spoke to her in anger, and imagine if she had to live with that for the rest of their life knowing that she could have done something about it.

We’ve gotta bring back frutiger aero.

Fix? What more can a man want than 1,847 lemons?

Yes. It’s terrible that conservatives love to wiggle their cock around in a child’s face.

Because it takes 8+ hours.

Most actors and singers aren’t successful just because they have talent, it’s because they have the right connections in Hollywood.

Smoking has known epigenetic effects

Laughs in chronic illness.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Two things can be true at the same time. Fluoride has provided significant benefits to dental health, while it’s effects on the human body are not fully studied.

Modern medicine has numerous gaps when it comes to the chronic illness community, and medical gaslighting is the default experience when people attempt to report symptoms.

I don’t think I want Trump removed.

If JD Vance becomes president, it will give conservatives more credibility towards the party because Vance would be even more competent in enacting fascist politicies.

But mom, it was supposed to be my turn to post this this week.

It is toxic if you cooked in a copper pot because of its acidity, which a lot of people had.

Induction is extremely inconvenient if you primarily cook Chinese or Mexican food for your household.

Wok-shaped induction stoves don’t exist in the US at a reasonable cost, and the lack of an open flame makes it hard to properly char peppers on an electric broiler. So you’re left with food with no wok-hei or char flavor.

I see a lot of people calling others stupid for using a gas stove, and at this point I’m not sure if it’s just racism disguised as environmentalism.

Autistic women are, once again, invisible.

That’s not how invasive species work. 500 years is nothing on the evolutionary time scale.

Also, cats have been widespread for about 2000 years in the old world, not 500.

The 15 billion kills is a global statistic, just fyi.

Cats are an invasive species and kill over 15 billion birds and small mammals per year. There’s nothing ‘natural’ about that.

Your cats freedom means the ecological destruction of your surroundings. Choose wisely.

The major flaw in this argument is that the size increase of clothing is compared between 1995 and 2021.

If you look at the distributions comparing women’s sizes between the ages of 15 and under, 20-30 years, and 30+ years old, you’ll notice that women naturally gain weight as they age.

At the same time, the market share of fast fashion has grown by over $100 billion in this time span. Currently, women in the 30+ cohort have the most purchasing power. This means that older women are able to buy more clothes, and older women tend to weigh more.

Clothing sizes for women are not standardized like they are for men. You don’t get to walk in and pick a 33x34 and leave. Women have to try a spread of 3-5 sizes, because every company has its own size, and women’s waistlines can vary up to 5"+ because frequently bloat due to periods. Add in the fact that women’s waist lines naturally slowly go up as they age, and you get the impossible task of knowing exactly what your size is when everything is conspiring to make is as difficult as possible.

The first comment assumes that women are choosing smaller sizes out of vanity, when in reality it’s because it’s impossible to know what your size is due to non-standard sizing and the fact that you need to estimate how your fit will be when you’re not bloating, and your size on an average day creeps up as you age.

Companies are quietly taking advantage of this because a woman will not suspect much if she wore a size 8 in her 20s and wore a size 10 in her 30s, when the reality is that her size 10 is actually a size 12 by former standards.
