Is there a way to get rid of the adhesive residue from patches that doesn’t irritate the skin? Patches have been a happy medium between pills and injections for me (cause stabbing myself with a metal spike was too scary ), but this is kinda annoying.

my friend swears by wrapping bread in aluminum foil, though idk how much better works than a plastic bag

Jesus fucking christ we’re actually going to do it

India has suspended the 1960 ‘Indus Water Treaty’ with Pakistan.

This seems extremely fucking bad, especially as we head into summer. This is the scariest potential nuclear flash point on the planet in my opinion.

Never seen SA portrayed as anything but shock value or seen victims treated respectfully in any form of media whatsoever. This sucks and I hope it’s not too egregious because I like the show.

Thank you! This was very helpful!

cishets are so fragile, cant go a single june without some whiny shit like this

As far as I know there are no indigenous civilizations in the star trek universe who look at the federation and think “nah I’m good, leave us alone please”.

There’s an episode in The Next Generation, I think called First Contact, in which a civilization on the verge of FTL travel is covertly contacted for Federation membership but they ultimately decline. The reason they decline though is because a lot of their population is very reactionary and their worldview would’ve been completely shattered by knowledge that they weren’t the most advanced and important species in the universe, and the head of state decides that such a thing would cause far too much social upheval and declines the invitation.

It’s like every company thinks their game will be the only game on your drive. It wouldn’t kill you to do at least a modicum of compression!!!

As much as I’d like to believe this, I think he just doesn’t want to be blamed for the ever worsening shit show going on in the admin. Regardless, I fully support the bullying.

I do not equate you with that.

I’ll accept that it may not have been your intention, but that’s certainly how it came off to me and apparently a lot of other people with the way you worded it. I think what you’re getting hung up on is people’s criticism of the pope as a person and the Catholic Church as an institution, and conflating it with criticism of Christianity as a religion. You claim to stand against theocracy, yet you keep calling criticism of one of, if not the most, notorious theocratic institution, the Catholic Church, “counterproductive.” Also, let me reiterate what a number of people have already said: this is not a party, this a niche internet forum. This is the internet equivalent of a communist dive bar. What is said here isn’t affecting the struggle in the real world, it’s just a place for people to chat and vent, the vast majority of which are queer and almost half are trans, many of whom have not had great interactions with Christianity to say the least. A lot of people here actually do that work in the real world, and I can assure you they aren’t running around yelling at Christians simply for being Christians while trying to convert them to the cause, which is what would actually be counterproductive.

Also to say nothing of the fact that my experience of Christianity in my country is that it’s relentlessly trying to kill me and people like me. If that wasn’t the case, maybe I wouldn’t have such a negative view of it. I’m sure people in other parts of the world have a different relationship to Christianity, but here it is used overwhelmingly as a vehicle for fascism.

Sorry not sorry, but I’m not going to have any respect for some old corpse who compared being trans with the dangers of fucking nuclear weapons. And comparing criticism of him to the worst aspects of New Atheism is very silly. I’m not a right wing anticommunist apologist for war crimes in West Asia just because I don’t care for the guy.

up with trans

This is a huge part that I don’t see a lot of talk about, and I feel like this knock-on effect was intentional by the admin to “take revenge” on these institutions that they see as a cultural enemy, even though the concept of these places being “Marxist factories” is laughable.

Though it’s online, Path of Exile 1 has a fun necromancer path if you start as a Witch. I never finished the campaign but even then my max horde was like ~50-60 minions running around murdering everything for me.

Not exact sure if this fits your hardware requirements but there’s a lot of fun summoning abilities (especially with workshop mods) in Divinity: Original Sin 2.

I read through some of that and you seriously have the patience of a saint. I think I’d go insane trying to do what you do. Motherfuckers simply do NOT want to read.
