Lemmy needs a witches vs patriarchy- or is there one already? Im too lazy to check rn

You can either walk around and talk to people (most people are receptive to being spoken to) or nervously hold your drink in hand, as you wait for someone to approach you.

Personally I prefer the former. If I'm by myself I just look for someone who seems nervous and uncomfortable. I'm friendly, and as long as I'm in a good mood I tend to make people feel comfortable around me- but I have had times where I just stand there. Standing and waiting is highly unpleasant. Better to hide in the bathroom if that's what you'll be doing instead of chatting. Highly recommend chatting or "mingling"

(If someone is lame, boring or seems uninterested, just approach someone else. Most groups will also make a space for you if you approach them in the event that there are no loners)

Agreed

Yes, that's true. 1% is still a significant enough amount (accounting for how large the human is at present) that men benefit from the past breast cancer research as well.

I'm just pointing out that it isn't a disease that only affects women. I dated a guy back when I was 14 or so, whose uncle got breast cancer. He was all paranoid that he had it, too, because he had lumps in his chest. In his case they turned out to be beniegn

I'd rather that men know there is a (small) risk, than ignore signs because they think that only women can die from it

1% is the typical birthcontrol pill failure rate, and I know of at least 2 babies born into the world while her mother was using bc pills

Would just like to point out the men can also get breast cancer:

That's so far left, it's behind

Women's rights have been walked back, causing child rape victims to struggle to find abortions, to say nothing of women being forced to carry fetuses who will die upon birth. Trans rights are being shit on, to the point that gender affirming care is being denied to people even where it's legal. Taxes for the wealthy are too low. The middle class is rare to be in. Health insurance is insanely expensive and it's difficult to see a doctor even when you have it- emergency rooms will leave you waiting for 6 hours or more. We simultaneously have too many people, and too few children with a looming crisis of too many elderly. We have microplastics in the air, oceans, food, fetuses, everywhere. Housing is largely unaffordable across the globe. Homelessness is out of control. Massive, destructive wildfires are the new norm. Heatwaves are killing people. Migrants are clamouring to find new countries to live in (which will get worse due to climate change) causing all kinds of social frictions. The youth are anxious, depressed, and suicidal.

But please, tell me how things are good for people over all?

Yeah, I love this man (as much as one can love a politician). He gets shit done, or at least does his damndest to try. The homeless issue still needs to be fixed, but the housing issue has to be fixed first. (And he's trying to do that by doing things like raise the min wage for fast food workers and giving poeple more sick days). He'll be president one day, as long as he doesn't fuck up like... what was his name. Cuomo.

Unfortunately it happens long after their damage has already been done

You do the same thing over and over (and over and over) to attempt to level, but all you get for your trouble is shitty gear that you'd rather drop than deal with.

First 40-70hrs are fun. After that... it feels like a chore. It's worth it for the base game, but the seasonal content was a slap in the face. I'm talking they have the player fight the same enemies twice each before they'd drop the thing we need (AND made us start from scratch just to get to do it)

Sure you can try out a new character but the same thing happens. It gets tedious.

For a while we'd play for a helltide, or do some grim favors but again, it get so painfully boring. Again, if you want to play the game go for it, just know that after the main story and sidequests are done there's nothing left but endless grinding

Just a thought, but, if the treatments aren't working you could be misdiagnosed. Try seeking a second opinion

Kid will survive, but that doesn't mean they won't be traumatized. Still, I'm glad the guy at least had the foresight not to stick a real bullet in there... why he thought firing a gun was the best way to get attention, though, is beyond me. If someone fires a gun in my near vicinity I'm not suddenly going to go "ohhh, it's time to pay attention to the pastor" Nah. Imma be running for the hills before I even know my legs are moving

It's also how they get more dead mothers, disabled infants, and infants who die shortly after birth

Yeah. She WAS someone to admire until she died, clinging to a position that she should have allowed to be passed on to a young blood when we had a fighting chance. Her greed for power soured her reputation, and forever ruined her legacy. I hope future generations can at least learn something from this

Fair point on Skyrim being more fun to play than to watch. I agree. And if you like Starfield as it is- then so be it! I'm not trying to shit on anyone's enjoyment of the game

BUT...my husband likes to try to optimize everything. So we'll spend time looking at different aspects- some of the graphics just infuriated me. Some things looked so amazing, but others... meh or... wtf. The facial expressions are way behind the times, and everything he showed me seemed lacking in one way or another. Like that Aurora nightclub. The NPC's are talking about what an amazing experience they are having, meanwhile it's like 15 of them badly dancing or just standing around. They certainly didn't look like they were having fun and they moved around like a group of homeless methheads

He ended up playing some more of the game once I went to bed, and then conceeded that it's lack-luster and moved on to something else

Skyrim was one of my favorite games for several years.

I tried watching my husband play Starfield but I kept zoning out, using my phone, or getting up to do something else. I'd rather do laundry. Starfield is boring A.F to watch, and I have zero interest in playing it

I've worked in dental in the past (assistant) and my brother has been sending me these types of articles since I started back in 2004. I always say something like "wild" or "amazing" but really NOTHING ever comes of it so I stopped actually reading what he sends me. It's just a waste of time.

I'll believe it when I see it

That sounds traumatic. Hope you're getting through it (sorry for your loss)

Hey, you just survived twice last week. It's something...

Except with a less destructive ending
