The real holocaust survivors who raised me taught me to be disgusted with genocide. Full stop.
I’m gonna go to Halloween party as Tobias so I have an excuse to leave in an hour.
Hey hmu if you need more help navigating the situation. Sounds like you’re not in the same country as me, but I am a licensed vet and I might be able to help you troubleshoot. (Shit, I might be able to give you straight up medical advice, but I gotta call my local board first and double check about international rules.)
2 grand?? That seems like a lot even for the ER. Lemme see if I can guess…

You need to dumb it down a bit if you want me to understand
You can’t set me up like that, I’m tapping out. Someone else explain basic human decency to this person, plz.
I’ve asked what the pearl clutching itself accomplishes.
Have you asked the same question about your disingenuous hand wringing? 🤔
Is pineapple good on pizza? <— a debate
Are human rights guaranteed to all humans? <— a fucking ghoulish question that you deserve to be mocked for “debating”
Yikes, do you wanna pull out your skull calipers while you’re at it?
B-but I just want to have a civil debate about why genocide is ok, why won’t anyone be nice to me? Wyahhhhh, such toxicity! People are so small minded if they can’t accept ethnic cleansing :(
It’s because you’re so speshul. I actually have your picture on my wall.
Yeah there was a TV show and a movie. The movie SUCKED ASS (fuck you Nichole Kidman) but the TV show is good IMO, it makes a lot more sense if you've read the books though.
Phillip Pullman pissed of theists so much they published a whole book about how he's the "Pied piper of Atheism" lmao
Everything Lisa Hanawalt touches turns to gold.
·a year agoSugar addiction is not the same as a drug that causes physiologic dependence, like cocaine or opiates.
But
You can become addicted to sugar, or anything that makes you feel good, because you’re basically hacking into the cocaine repository that’s already in your brain. Anything that triggers a hit of dopamine and/or noradrenaline - gambling, shopping, sex, food, weed - can cause addictive behavior, but you’re essentially addicted to your own neurotransmitters and not the thing itself.
I had honestly forgotten about EverQuest. That sexy blonde elf minx takes me back.
Logged back into this account after like a year to post this, I am so goddamn grumpy.
TW: Rant about MAID
I am so goddamn sick of leftists who think that because there are bad actors in the system that disabled people shouldn't have autonomy over their own lives. YES the UK expansion is ghoulish. YES the Canada policies offering MAID over mental health treatment are ghoulish. YES MAID is a human right. Please don't patronize me by telling me that you have my best interests in heart while you're denying me fundamental agency.
I never hear people acknowledge that the US actually does allow for MAID, we just do it in the most inhumane way possible. Not only do we euthanize people that we've deemed incompatible with society within the carceral system, but the medical system uses something called VSED to ""allow"" people choose to die by starvation. Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking can be facilitated and overseen by a physician. VSED is accomplished by starving yourself to death over 1-2 weeks. It is not pretty. It is not dignified. It is not humane. But it is passive, so for some reason that makes it OK.
It’s like the most excruciatingly dumb trolley problem imaginable: one track represents letting the trolley creep along at 2 mph, slowly crushing someone while they suffer immensely, the other track has a lever you can pull to make the trolley speed up and deliver a quick, merciful end. The catch is that pulling the lever requires societal consensus, legal systems, and personal courage — all while the person on the track is already suffering.
There is a whole branch of medicine that has been grappling with the ethics of humane euthanasia for CENTURIES but nobody seems to value the opinion of Veterinarians, so also fuck leftists leave vets out of the conversation and marginalize a whole profession of doctors with first hand insight. As someone who has personally performed hundreds of euthanasias and watched multiple humans die within the healthcare system I can tell you in very explicit detail why MAID is preferable to suffocating in your own plueral fluid -- which is what happens when you "die by natural causes." There is no such thing. There is only agonal breathing, terminal agitation, and suffering.
