No idea about Ruby Ridge (will Google this later) also, no idea about anything else about Idaho other than bad potatoes.

What does that mean? I associate Idaho with bad potatoes, but I think I lack the rest of the context.

You’re right, my math was way off. I shouldn’t reply to posts while on migraine.

With that said, not ever drinking from Starbucks ever again.

I mean, I am relatively ok paid, but $9 would be about 1-1.5 hours of my wage before tax. If I want to live in a both economy and ecology wise manner, I had calculated it to a cup of $4 coffee every two weeks, IF I don’t eat out and instead use frozen home made lunch boxes every work day.

If I can skip a coffee a week and instead donate to a charity or local homeless person of my choice. Or save my money for the LGTBQ+ scouts. That’s way better.

Haven’t had Starbucks in over a year, maybe three, the coffee wasn’t worthwhile of the wait or money and the last time the barista gave me oat milk instead of almond. No faults to the barista, I think the chain stresses them out.

”Report says” when they’re taking selfies.

Thank you.

Too tired to look up the specifics on YouTube now, but several shows have clips there that show what happens during breaks or after. Usually small talk with the interviewee and some banter with the audience.

As I don’t watch the interview part of any show, or don’t watch talk shows that aren’t satire, I usually watch the banter clips from e.g. The Daily Show (there are some great ones with Trevor Noah) or whatever what Seth Meyers show is called.

The point was that most men aren’t interested in being there unless they’re told they’re excluded.

Feminism welcomes all. But some times there need to be safe spaces for women, and women’s groups are there for that. So the comic is just a joke, not a provocation.

There are local men’s groups around where I live, they’re safe spaces for men who want to talk about relationships , fatherhood, anger issues or how to be more confident in their masculinity etc. Women are (usually) excluded. Many of these men are feminists, I would guess.

Progress is progress. As any sane people would repeat: perfect is not the enemy of good.

”Study finds” and ”we were surprised”. Should be ”study confirms”. Also, no wonder these people fall for opioids fast, as the only way opioids help chronic pain is by shutting the brain down to sleep mode through five of ten times the recommended dose.

Several of my co-sufferers from chronic pain treatment groups entered opioid addiction, from the opioids not helping at all against the pain. Their addiction started when they had to take such a high dosage to get their brain to stop registering any kind of pain or anxiety and enter sleep mode. Once they could get nerve pain blockers, most could taper down from the opioids. Some, of course, never could as they actually entered a serious opioid addiction. Two from a group of twelve are now passed, women in their 30’s.

Whelp, good that it’s confirmed. And. There are a lot of good studies being done. What worries me is yet another pharmaceutical finding yet another cheap-to-produce addictive option instead of fighting the real problem and discouraging actual help.

Sanity is ensuring your offspring is not loyal to national identity, indenture or servitude.

Why is this repeated and reposted so much? At least it’s better than Russian baby factories, surely?

Edit: Also, any country which requires military servitude and nationalistic obedience is not good. But there might be some good parts.

Long easter weekend here in Sweden, four and a half days off paid.

Considering that the slightest amount of some chemicals or temperature shifts can alter personalities dramatically, I kind of lean to ”Pet sematary” horror for the kind of mammals that undergo this procedure.

Same. Every major corona infection I suffered has set off my immune system for months, leading to debilitating nerve and joint pain. Even some vaccinations trigger this, but with shorter and way less symptoms, modern vaccines are way better than what they prevent. So I have high hopes.

Yeah, Kirk’s own political rhetoric was pretty extreme and violent.

Wtf!? It and misoprostol are also a part of a medicine regime to prevent bleeding stomach ulcers for sufferers of several autoimmune diseases.
