I mean, it is a complex issue, and there are two sides of it. One of the sides is doing a genocide. The other side makes attacks when they can, killing much smaller numbers. If suddenly the power balance switched, I'm not convinced Hamas wouldn't go for doing a genocide.

What actually matters here is that nobody should be doing genocides, both sides have reason to say, "they started it!", and it's not going to end until both sides can accept that yes, shit happened, bad things were intentionally done by people, and everyone needs to move on, or there will be another round, and another, and another, and another...

I mean, it's possible to have a happy, healthy, 24/7 D/s relationship. Not that you're wrong about the rest of it; the people who get into the tradwife thing think "consent" is a dirty word.

My mom introduced me to Napster. So at this point, it would be a family tradition.

I mean, not everyone agrees what the problems are. We can't even approach talking about solutions until we settle on the problems. And that problem seems to be getting worse.

Yeah, the wiki is a big help, as is being aware that any item that has 'Material' in the list of traits when you mouse over it, can be brought to the guide, when you talk to him one of the options is 'crafting', and the empty blue box in that menu can have said items dropped into it for a list of all recipes using it, along with what workstation it takes.

Doesn't seem to be on the list yet:

Terraria.

I have hundreds of hours on my steam account, and I'm pretty sure it's actually thousands. It's a great game, and it's been updated so much since it released. When you could buy and hold gift copies of steam, I used to regularly buy new copies to hang on to to hand out to people; I've probably gotten ten people into it. Currently doing a modded master playthrough with my family and having a great time.

Poor bastards.

Decent article. Hope it makes some difference.

Right up there with Fox calling "people getting paid more" "wage inflation" and saying it'll doom the economy if it isn't stopped.

Yeah, life isn't required to offer us remotely fair choices. For me it was a pretty easy one, to get surgery, it just took me more than 20 years from making the decision to being able to act on it.

When you have that kind of situation, where you know you're going to have regrets whichever way you go, the best you can do is steer towards the regret you'll hate the least, and practice gratitude and mindfulness around the parts of your choice that are good. I ended up with some numbness, I think downstream of some self harm I did in my teens, and I'm not happy about that, I don't love dilating but it's far from the worst, I get pains sometimes, and I could focus on those things and be miserable, but I consciously focus on not feeling the damned thing anymore, on clothes fitting properly, on the pleasant sensations I do get and the way sex, for me, is better now. That kind of intentful mindfulness is a skill, that you can practice, and doing so is my top recommendation to you.

I can think of people I'd want more than Biden, but the number one entry on my board is "Not Trump". He is uniquely bad, and merits voting against regardless of your feelings about the other side.

 

Well, one community, at the moment. Specifically, as the link is hypothetically pointed at, the rfk_jr_watch community at lemm.ee. Have I done something wrong in formatting that link? It also won't work as !rfk_jr_watch, and searching for it from here doesn't seem to work either.
