Medellín deserves so much more recognition in the Anglosphere than it gets, they have done so much cool stuff that should be a model for a lot of places.
Open some windows is talking about gui windows not ms windows. I don't get the alternative thing at all. Its like that thing with ms not being able to trademark windows because windows is a common word.
I'm pretty sure that in this specific context, it's actually referring to the physical windows that you would crack to let in some fresh air. I'm also pretty sure that this post was a joke, LOL.
There is a portion of the population for whom fairly intense pain is not a "when that happened to me" but a "when that happens to me" and it just really results in developing a pain tolerance skill that I don't think those for whom pain is understood as the occasional discrete injury really get. There are conditions that can cause that to happen to cis men, but it's less common than for, uh, the entire rest of the population, and so fewer of them have had to develop that skill.
(Also, really glad you were finally able to get the surgery to help!)
My theory is that people who have had to deal with neither menstrual cramps (let alone childbirth) nor the various trials of gender affirming treatments are a lot less likely to have had extensive periods of just having to deal with pain for a long time. Like, maybe they've had some injuries, or other brief episodes, but unless they have some other condition like chronic migraines, I think a lot of able-bodied cis men haven't had to regularly sit with pain and just deal with it.
It's understandable that this would happen, but extremely frustrating when somehow that becomes the default cultural view and condescending cis men in positions of power get to smugly decide that they're manly men with great pain tolerance and anyone who complains about pain is surely just being a baby/whiny hysterical woman.
(There is also absolutely a racialized component here where Black and brown folks tend to receive fewer painkillers, which this doesn't really account for, but this is not meant to be a comprehensive explanation of disparities in pain management in health care, just my theorizing why cis men on average seem to have lower rates of pain tolerance.)
What a beautiful, wonderful dog. I'm glad he got to spend his final years with you, and I'm so sorry for your loss. I can tell you loved him very much, and that he matched that love right back.
Even if you do get this to produce appreciable amounts of light, this seems like a really good way to have these plants spread outside of their designated areas and fuck up wildlife even more than our artificial lighting does already.
Naturally, when California inevitably has more wildfires, the Trump administration will then call it an example of California's failed liberal policies, and the GOP as a whole will demand restrictions on disaster relief.
One of many deeply frustrating things about Trump's fire hose of terrible and frequently actively evil ideas is that not only do they come in such volumes that it's overwhelming, but it's also incredibly hard to tell if something is a brief fixation he will quickly move on from or something that is going to be a recurring issue to deal with.
Which is to say: Christ, he's back on this one again?
Non-indigenous farmers: We're tired of people who aren't from here and don't understand the land trying to come in, take our land, and push the presence of this species that we aren't cultivating and consider a threat to our way of life!
The indigenous folks who have been diligently working with American Prairie to bring back buffalo and restore destroyed buffalo-managing ways of life after European invaders who didn't understand the land came in, exterminated buffalos en masse, murdered Native folks, stole their land and destroyed their way of life, and pushed cows to the detriment of the land's health: thousand-yard stares
I've considered that a few times, and have done the 'phone chatting while gaming" solution, but it gets pretty unwieldy quickly in my experience, sadly.
I have the same question, but a particular problem I am having is the need to chat via text while streaming instead of audio for accessibility purposes. Discord's game overlay worked okay for this (not great, but usable) on Windows, but doesn't run at all on Linux, and every alternative I look at seems very voice chat focused. Steam does have chat options within the overlay but doesn't seem to have good chat history options.
Was there not an entire deal during the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation hearings where the GOP was up in arms about the left being 'anti-Catholic' for questioning her beliefs about abortion and about queer rights? And now they're doing this?
I'm not surprised by the hypocrisy, I just feel like it merits pointing out.
Wait, it did? Do you have a link? All I can find are links to older articles.
