Yeah. I’ve a friend who kept getting dismissed by the doctors when they came with worries about their heart, because they were diagnosed with generalised anxiety. Apparently if you’re living with anxiety you’re also immune to heart problems!

Doesn’t help that someone close to them died because of late medical intervention, which only happened because the person’s partner insisted that they fake a fainting episode as the medical system had repeatedly dismissed them when previously asking for help with their problem. Everything was fine and dandy until they didn’t pass out, then oops, too late to treat the cancer, have a nice rest of your life.

Can’t even blame individual doctors though, I think it has a lot to do with understaffing and overworking. The people who matter aren’t cared for and thus can’t properly care for the people they are obliged to care for. It all serves the bottom line of the elite because they can pocket more money.

Gods, no.

Universe is feeling that YOLO.

How do we know that he isn’t? Musk proclaims a love of free speech and is a fascist. Trump has repeatedly spoken out against wars, but his wars are OK in his book.

Let’s not celebrate until we’ve crossed the river.

His personal convictions don’t matter as much as the philosophies his ilk tout and pander to. The anti-women, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric smacks heavily of Catholicism.

The U.S.?

Apps are the only way I can see it being useful. RSS readers, mail clients, chat clients etc.

I love this, thank you!

I’m not sure that anyone can hear anything when they’re eating something crunchy.

Hehe. The image makes it look like pine matures to oak and hickory.

Given the colloquial meaning of daddy nowadays, that name tickles me greatly.

It’s the same guy.

Really. A bigger screen just gives my dog a bigger target when he flails his toys around.

Shit, I need to step up my game!

Could be the game, could be the version of Proton, could be the driver. Could be plenty of things. It isn’t quite as plug and play as Windows can be, but it’s not that bad, provided your stack is compatible. I personally don’t really have any problems.

Which is probably why he wants to hollow out NASA and have SpaceX take their place.

Which is why we need to get off corpo platforms. A corporation will never care for people or look out for people’s best interests, it only ever cares about finances going up, and will put that before everything. An authoritarian regime wanting to censor their genocide? Absolutely. Fuck the victims, it’s more important that our pockets are well lined.

Bluesky is just twitter. It’s the same bullshit with a different recipe. It’ll never be a good platform for democracy.

Does it really count if it’s not a suit, though? Suppose you wouldn’t have to enter naked, and could actually just wear an actual suit and use that as a loophole. “I’m a fur in a suit, clearly I match the criteria!”

Aw, often working at heights while being afeared of heights sounds like a pain.

Aah right. I try not to think much about the U.S. and their religious extremists. It just makes me depressed.
