Can someone explain this to a non US person please? You sign your votes?

In my country the vaccine is unavailable publicly or privately to most people. I’m considering travelling to try to buy it. It’s fucking insane. I can buy a vaccine for pretty much anything else.

I follow scientists, virologists, epidemiologists, etc and get tweets with the latest covid research. I also see a lot of stuff from Gaza and a few things about movies. I’m moving off there but while some people are only on there and giving me information, I’ll keep going back.

I’m on both Mastodon and Bluesky but BS feels smoother and gives me more content after following some users and content than Mastodon ever did. I really want MD to work out and I’ll go back there but I have neither the time nor the skills to develop or grow it myself.

Any news on motive?

Yes! 100%.

One reason we chose the school my kids go to is because they do teach about emotions and friendship and so on.

That’s a funny one because men are celebrated for suppressing emotions and women are penalisd for showing them.

I need to be out of the physical office all the time to deal with my actual life. How about that? WFH 4eva

It’s almost “just asking questions”

But she weighed in every other day too so she was the correct weight every day so far. One day she’s 100g over and she loses her chance for a gold medal. That’s harsh AF.

I thought it was representing an unplanned “quick sync”.

I don’t want to think I have a negative impact on people. It’s just not a nice way to put it, especially to a little kid.

It didn’t feel good and I was like 8 or something. It would be a nice compliment if they said… you’ll be loved or you’ll light up the room or something… But it was instead… you’ll hurt people.

When I was much younger, someone older said I’d grow up to be a heartbreaker. I was like… What? No. I’m nice, I’m not going to break hearts, what?.. Long after I realised it was a compliment on how I might look when I grew up. I still don’t think it’s a good compliment though.

Hugely sexist country though. Maybe it’s nice for men to move there.

You’ll be the template for “man” so you need to be the man you want your daughter to have in her life. Important things like handling strong emotions, never overpowering her with your strength, and that kind of thing.

Female… men’s sense of entitlement to you, your body, your life, and accompanying lack of actual care for you as a person AND accompanying violence. All this resulting in lack of safety in or out of your own home.

A Nightmare on Elm Street when I was about 8 at a sleepover birthday party. All of us had nightmares after that and he’s still my go to boogeyman.

Maybe it’s to help them.

Don’t tell me, I like the illusion.
