Not yet but I need to. My mom got cancer so we've met our family's out-of-pocket maximum for the year, meaning all my treatments are finally free. Thanks America! /s

I have the fabulous genetic quirk of suddenly acquiring unimaginable stomach pain and nausea after taking ibuprofen or asprin. I also get frequent migraines ๐Ÿ™ƒ

The game is East Asian, so of course they're going to make the characters light-skinned. That's the beauty standard, and people want to ~~gamble for~~ buy pretty characters. Its basically just colorism with extra steps.

The weapons found at al-shifa were small arms permissible under the Geneva convention, as often they are difficult to dispose of them at a moment's notice when treating people who were injured while carrying a firearm. There were not extensive weapons caches at the hospital, nor is there any evidence that the arms that were there were being used for any Hamas operations.

A hospital full of civilians being bombed is bad regardless of the context. There's no point in media outlets spinning shit like this. They're just acting as propagandists for Israel by throwing softballs like this.

An overwhelming majority of news outlets, as well as humanitarian orgs like Amnesty International, and even the WHO, have come out and said they have seen no evidence that al-Shifa hospital was used for any military operations by Hamas. Even the IDF itself has barely tried to justify it. Israel bombed this hospital, killed civilians including newborns children, and so far have provided no reason to believe that it was even strategically beneficial for anything other than the continued mass deaths of innocent Palestinians.

Really they just evolved to be friendlier and more tolerant of humans, they don't even have to live inside per se.

For modern, neoliberal western euro nations I think he's fairly centrist in today's climate relatively speaking.

I got one of those fancy new microwaves that does 1 minute when you hit 1, 2 minutes when you hit 2, etc. I believe it has saved me about seven octillion eons of cumulative time I would have otherwise spent typing in numbers.

 

Thinking about this because of a greentext I saw earlier complaining about OF models.

It feels like a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn't just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one's self places a set value on something that many see as sacred; something that shouldn't have monetary value.

Not to say anything about the economic validity of a society without currency, but I think that, hypothetically, if that were to exist, sex work would be less stigmatized since this would no longer be a factor. Those engaged in sex work would be more likely to be seen as doing it because it's something they are good at/enjoy, and less because it's an "easy" way to make money, as some think. It would also eliminate the fear of placing set value on social, non sex-work related intimacy (not that those fears were well-founded to begin with).
