Seems rich coming from a wealthy, disabled politician. Sure, god doesn’t provide sack lunches to poor kids, but he apparently does hand out wheelchairs, ADA ramps, elevators and door buttons to you?

Don’t slam the door in other’s faces. There’s a reason why traditional America did things like the ADA and EPA.

They’ll have to do a lot more than their latest stunts.

Nope, my current phone isn’t even water resistant. It loses resistance over time anyways, so IDC.

Well, if there’s one thing that should drive you, it should be getting some form of education or vocational training and forging your own path forward, ideally someplace chill. There’s many places on the west coast where being effeminate is totally normal, and people are totally fine with that. I like it when people get to really be themselves, and I LOVE men who wear cute things. We need more cute apparel!

I also think therapy would genuinely help you. If you put in your location, hit “all filters” and you can choose what type of therapy you want, and there’s also a separate section for Bisexual/Lesbian/LGBTQ+ (even if you are straight, filtering by these might get you a really thoughtful counselor.)

Just to make this post too long, I was in a similar boat coming out years ago. Not quite the same, I think girly stuff is cute, but I also don’t go out of my way to wear it. Anyways, I was really stuck in a rut over sexuality, conflicts with religion, and my confusion with cute women, but also cute men. My life really turned around when I started talking to close friends about what I was going through.

I went deep, no holds barred, we talked hard about everything and life. At the same time, I called my doctor’s office and got a referral for a therapist, who was excellent. That man really helped turn my life around, and recommended the site I linked above. Honestly, his help was all I needed. I’ve met someone I truly love, and everything all worked out in the end.

The hardest part for me was calling that clinic and telling them that I needed help, and why I needed help. It was hard, but life slowly got easier after that.

Smallpox is probably why we have contemporary anti-vaxxers. Without a lethal, Flood-like disease, people quickly think that it’s okay to just be fucking disgusting and let themselves and their kids get everyone sick.

People will learn why we vaccinate against the fucked up, biblical diseases of yestercentury.

All sane states and provinces should require vaccine records in order to cross state/provincial lines from fucked up states.

I don’t want people with filthy biblical diseases coming and getting us sick when herd immunity collapses.

This will not fix the monopoly problem.

The razers are really bad this year and I recommend avoiding them completely. Here’s an exhaustive list that just came out six days ago: https://youtu.be/KhfqhCxqpQ8

Generally, I recommend a desktop if he isn’t moving it around that much. They’re upgradable usually, which saves money over rebuying a laptop with new screens, keyboards, power supplies, etc each time.

But if he is moving it around, the Asus TUF laptops, particularly last years models, are pretty decent on the whole. Budget, but solid gaming laptops. Decent specs when I bought mine a few years ago.

“Flushable” wipes tend to not break down if they are made from plastic, which many are. Treatment facilities vary, and methods of disposal too. But I could see this happening at two steps:

One, people flush wipes, and during a rainstorm, the combined rainwater and sewage in combined systems overflows faster that the facility can treat the blackwater, dumping raw sewage and wipes into local rivers, lakes and oceans.

Or two, some treatment facilities have bioprocessors, but have no rag catcher, which would intercept items that were not poop or PFAS-engineered products like toilet paper, which are chemically treated to break down in water.

If there’s no rag catcher, it’s not gonna get intercepted by the treatment plant, and just get dumped whole into the waterways. Akin to swallowing a piece of gum, then pooping it out later, lol.

Anyways, wipes (and even toilet paper) are horrible for the environment and tend to cost you extra money in terms of sewer infrastructure. Getting a bidet lowers your own expenses, and reduces the load on the sewer system.

Never buy anything that flies, fucks or floats. No planes, no boats, no horses. If you really want to try one of these, try renting or borrowing the thing for a whole summer. Maybe even two summers.

Nature. Look around you. Like, seriously, stop what you are doing, and look around you for three, full minutes. You’ll start to notice new things. Bugs, plants, views, animals. There’s a lot going on, even if you just look at a 1x1 in square of grass up close. It’s pretty cool.

Even in human areas, just spending an hour in a space while not being on your phone is kinda cool. I’d be doing something like weeding a local bike path and start to notice way more people than I ever thought used it. It’s mostly asphalt, but even here, the plants are interesting, and you start to meet people in your community that do the same work.

Honestly, I’m not even going to see it. The book was so insanely good that I cannot entertain the possibility of a movie straying even one millimeter from the source material.

The budget provides insufficient (or no) funding for future NASA flagship missions: LISA, the space-based successor to LIGO, the Nancy Roman Telescope, an already-constructed super-Hubble that’s awaiting launch, and the Habitable Worlds Observatory, the first-ever telescope that will be capable of directly imaging Earth-sized worlds at Earth-like distances around Sun-like stars, and our best hope for finding our first inhabited planet beyond Earth.

That part about super hubble kills me. This is terrible. Is there any way to redirect all my federal tax income directly into NASA? :P

They should also be mandatory for food service and hospitals. Ideally would prevent hands from ever coming into contact with shit, even if people did a subpar job washing their hands.

It’s hard to say exactly. I wouldn’t put it past the dev(s) to have potentially put something like “The Egg” in, so potentially yes, though we’d have no way of testing for it.

Some of the largest nationwide protests we’ve ever had have been during Trump II. But the distances are incredibly vast.

The continental US is just over 4,500km wide, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, which are massive as well. While DC is populated, our country is large enough that it would take a six or seven hour flight to get there if you aren’t in a hub city.

If you are, it’s still over 5 hours of flying from L.A. to DC.

Driving from San Francisco, CA, to WA DC takes 41 hours, when at highway speeds. And that’s without fuel, rest, or food. People are super spread out in a way Europe is not.

The real pain is people not voting. Voting could have saved everyone loads of trouble.

They did briefly go lighter, then back to darker. One step forward, one step back, lol.

On a more sobering note, it is worrying to see colors going darker again. While my country isn’t perfect, I still feel lucky to be born here instead of a country where things essentially never change due to dictators.

Yeah, I’ve given up on bootloaders long ago. After I broke my last phone, finding a decent mid range phone with expandable storage, a headphone jack, stylus and nice colors was pretty nice. The cameras are decent, and the processing power is fine for most stuff. The only time it slows down is if I’m cropping and editing a video or screen recording, which is a pretty seldom thing.

I got Motorola with a headphone jack, and I use it surprisingly often. All my Bluetooth stuff has fallen apart faster than my wired stuff.

Those fake astroturf fields and yards people are installing are actually quite toxic. In addition to heating plastic to high temperatures and baking it under powerful UV light each summer, the plastics and rubbers used for them are usually from sources like car tires which are full of PFAS to resist fires, wear, UV, etc. Those leach into surrounding areas whenever it rains.
