“There are 150 ICBM missiles that are being controlled by that Air Force base and by these individuals.”
“I do not want someone who doesn’t know if they are a man or a woman with their hand on a missile button.”
His “argument” is that trans people are inherently unstable because they are trans (really, questioning, but that distinction doesn’t matter to him).
This is what queer people are dealing with: the constant pathologizing of our very existence to the point where we’re viewed as a threat. This is why I can never accept people who continue to vote for these dangerous assholes: they either benefit from or are indifferent to the suffering this rhetoric engenders. It’s not a difference in opinion and deserves no such protection.
Turns out, when not hampered and hemmed in by investors and ads and all the bullshit they bring, people’s first instinct is to play. I think that’s nice.
The WHO said aspartame is safe to consume within a daily limit of 40 milligrams per kilogram of a person’s body weight.
An adult weighing 70 kilograms or 154 pounds would have to drink more than nine to 14 cans of aspartame-containing soda daily to exceed the limit and potentially face health risks.
Holy shit you weren’t kidding. And here I was worried that my 2-3 cans a month might be catching up to me!
I swap between 1) index, middle, and ring and 2) thumb, index, and middle because I was raised with 1) but learned to do 2) while learning American Sign Language, as 1) in ASL means the letter W.
Have you ever noticed that the people who say that both sides are the same split into two groups: the liberal side that doesn’t vote, and the conservative side that always votes Republican?
The author cites two reasons why the watch is good for women: it has a siren option at 86 decibels (about as loud as a snowblower) and it is sensitive enough to temperature changes such that you can use it to track your cycle.
That…just doesn’t sell me much. I don’t know how well a car alarm in your ear is going to help, and you can get temperature monitoring from other options.
The author also claims that the watch isn’t as big and bulky on her wrist as she thought it’d be, but going by the pictures she’s a larger woman, so I would think it’d still be annoyingly large for smaller women. That, and in general it seems like a large screen is a heat seeking missile for hard objects: I’ve lost count how many times I’ve unintentionally whacked something, and I have a much slimmer watch (not an Apple Watch).
My old cat used to do this, because I’d feed her and then walk away. But once I started sitting with her she started to eat a lot more.
It’s not necessarily that your cat wants extra food: sometimes they just feel vulnerable while eating (especially as they get older) and want someone they trust watching over them.
It’s like starting from scratch with every hobby: if you run out and buy the best of the best for every occasion without dipping a toe in, first, you’re going to be deep in the red for a while, if not until you run out of steam.
You can get a T shirt for $5-15 easily, but aside from bigger sizes/mens and womens, there’s not much deliberate variation you’ll see in mass produced stuff, so if you want clothes to really fit you, it helps to learn how to either alter them or make them yourself.
There are plenty of kits you can buy that have sewing patterns ready made. Here is an example. You follow the instructions and the patterns have some leeway in terms of customization. Play around with those and you start to figure out how the changes you make affect the clothing and how it fits.
