What did you take 8 hours ago? What’s with all the concussion monologues?

Right, every religion prescribes reflection of some sort. Only the non-religious simply peel potatoes.
But also why would you peel potatoes?
Liberal use of eyebrow pencil on everything BUT his eyebrows? Sounds about right.
Precisely
I think you’re describing an important step of online mental hygiene. The reality is that humans have not evolved with the daily emotional bandwidth necessary for one to handle a planet’s worth of grief responsibly and without inuring oneself to others’ suffering.
I’ve seen people criticize this as head-in-sand, that you should remain available to amplify voices and causes in online discourse (especially theirs). I see that criticism as unthoughtful, bordering on unkind, and a critical problem with how we do online advocacy.
(Aside: “conflict” appears twice in keyword list, which has no effect now but can cause unexpected behavior later)
Yeah I thought the same, since my city did away with the 3-month rule two years ago (there’s still a partner-limit/monogamy requirement last I checked).
Apparently what makes it a “world first” is not that they allow gay donors but that they lifted all sexual activity-based rules (for plasma specifically) which used to reject sex workers, women who slept with bi men recently, and others. The title is just a bit misleading.
Oh yeah, I just finished editing to add that part to be more clear of my opinion on the subject. There will never again be a nuclear “win” in human history, and in truth I wouldn’t even count the first.
I believe they are referring to a far blunter instrument of death which would only purvey loss on a scale that is unprecedented and difficult to imagine.
Cruel* people. One is a transient condition. The other, a choice.
Also be sure to stop once they stop, otherwise you become the bully yourself. Don’t ask me how I know.
I see. Have you considered moving?
Half your comments feature the word “stupid.” Are you OK?
TIL. I mean, the headers on most boards are easy to find, so a few paperclips and some tape could be your USB port. And most built-in peripherals use the interface so it probably isn’t disabled. The rest depends on how thoroughly their IT vendor locked things down.
