Gay sex and interracial sex are NOT the same thing as incest sex. You do realize you're advocating for dads to bang their own daughters? Cause that's what incest usually results in.
When Putin took over Russia and turned it into him getting 99% of the votes every election, most people of Russia did not leave. When Putin cracked down on journalists, free speech, and gay/queer people, hell even his own oligarchs aren't safe next to a Russian window, most people of Russia did not leave. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the first and second time, most people of Russia did not leave.
Have Russians bought the Kremlin propaganda hook, line and sinker? What does it take for a citizen to say enough is enough before they leave their country? Do Russians lack the means to afford the ability to leave their homeland, potentially forever from friends, and generations of families? Unfortunately, most people whether it's Russia or the US, simply do not have the means, the finances, the connections, or the resources to leave. A minority of us will have access to this luxury, but for a majority of us, we are simply fucking stuck. And in case it's not clear, I do not support Russia, I hope the Putin regime collapses sooner than later.
Not just Fox "News" but all the alt-right AM radio pundits too. While visiting my parents, I overheard his AM radio speaker downplay events by saying that E. Jean Carroll only "claims" Trump did things, while totally ignoring the fact that Trump was already convicted of sexual assault and the judge later confirmed it was indeed classified as rape, and he had to pay her $5 million for defamation, which now there's ANOTHER court case going on that's bad for Trump, but all of those pesky facts weren't mentioned, only that E. Jean Carroll was a vindictive slut. Truly maddening to me when you know the objective facts, I call it Conservative brain rot.
Slightly off topic, but the fact that I'm now seeing some Formula One/E news make it's way onto Lemmy is a good sign to me that this place is starting to grow more and more.
If anyone somehow missed this meme when growing up or are older, it's a CGI comedy movie called Shrek, and the man speaking is Lord , Farquaad who is voiced by the very talented John Lithgow.
I worry how fucked we are. Like are we all gonna get a slim and slender dill pickle unfavorably shoved up our poop cutters OR are we going to get a giant prickly cactus shoved brazenly right up to our colons?
One thing to keep it mind, when he lost the first time, he was still in control of the government so his power and influence was far greater than it is now. This second time around, he has no power whatsoever, he's just another citizen, but it is through his supporters, and the constant media attention, that he wields the illusion of power, but not political power. Objectively, it will be A LOT harder for Trump to attempt another coup since he no longer has all the political levers to control.
The pendulum swings back and forth for the US Presidency, so it's not a matter of IF, but WHEN another Republican eventually gets into the Oval Office. Whether its next year or 4 or 8 years from now, they will eventually get into power again since the Electoral College favors minority rule. We're fucked without massive systemic change.
By all means vote for the party that actually gives a flying duck about rules and decorum, but the Republicans have butchered the political game and there's no going back until they have all the power. They next 2-3 decades are not going to be the future we were hoping for. Look into failing, declining democracies throughout history, or the downfall of Rome, and you'll see a lot of similarities with the current US situation.
You can find it on Amazon, but it's also at most local libraries, but the book "How Democracies Die" by Steven Levitsky from 2018 talks about how democracies throughout history have failed and he also touches on a few ways to save it. Well worth a read if you are into that sort of topic.
Another reason Hitler rose to power was even though the Nazi party only maintained something like ~30% of the government, the other factions of the government couldn't come together and unite against a common enemy, so it was easier for Hitler to cull influence and support. The US doesn't have as many parties as they did back in the 1930's, but within the Democratic party the centrists, moderates, progressives, etc ALL need to fall* behind Biden, as well as most independent voters, otherwise it could very well be game over for democracy in the US.
I know the Harlem Shake was a fad many would like to forget, but these stills were from the first video version of it that I saw and I thought it was pretty cool the Norwegian Army had a pretty sweet sense of humor about it.
Not that this helps anyone, but I gave up Instagram the day Facebook bought it. I don't regret it and my mental health is better for it. Using Instagram made me depressed as hell.
Sometimes you just have to keep at it things, keep waiting, keep appointments, yet it can all become tiresome or exhausting. The point is to rule things out and that sadly just takes time. If things persist, a different doctor or a specialist should be able to track things down. It's all a cat and mouse game sometimes when the diagnosis is not easily identified. Took one of my friends almost a year before they found what was wrong with them. Just be patient, keep at it, and I'm sure things will eventually get better. Good luck!
Sounds like your on the mend and on the road to recovering. Just make sure to do all the follow up appointments and everything and remember no one is going to advocate for your health more than you, so take care of yourself first and foremost and I know it doesn't help much, but things take time to diagnose and to heal so be patient with your body, things can always get better. At least your not pissing, shitting, and vomiting at all once! ;)
