The problem is that we didn't make Elon a culturally radioactive laughstock when he baselessly called that Thai cave rescuer a pedophile. That was a goldmine for all the gossip and comedy media to strip bare, and they didn't take it.

People hate Singal followers because they consistently fail to understand simple concepts like "fuck off"
One last time: fuck off, debate pervert.

There's no objective way to diagnose most mental disorders - where most self-diagnosis discussion happens. "I'm at risk of rabies, so I'm getting treatment" is how self-diagnosis in non-psychology medicine *works*.
But I am at fault for not backtracking 1st to make sure the origin wasn't insane. 🤦♂️

Follow up: the "I sexually identify as the ending to Old Yeller" kind of self-diagnosis doesn't count. 🙄

"Acute" canine distemper has about 50% fatality rate in otherwise healthy unvaccinated adult dogs. For unvaccinated puppies it's nearly 80%. If the dog survives it may well have long term neurological symptoms.

Why do you think officials encourage you to get a rabies shot if you've been bitten by an animal or after being in close contact with a bat behaving oddly? What is that if not self-diagnosis? If people wait for the doctor's diagnosis, most of the time it's too late.

Last time MSNBC hosts plugged Bluesky we got NoDemsUnder5K so this is an improvement, sadly. 😖

Good luck telling a coherent story entirely of 5 second scenes, all of which are different characters and in settings...

Bill made an impied death threat, got a temp ban for it and came back, Jesse Singal made a stink about it, temp ban *mysteriously* became a permanent one. No principles from the mod team, just taking the path of least resistance every time.

Evangelicals are the ultimate accelerationists. The way they see it, they either get their theocracy or the world ends, and either way they win. 🙃

The Horndog should be a gigantic spicy sausage dog (in a bun) that has Doritos chips stuck in them mimicking a Stegosaurus or a dragon head.

Yeah, economies based primarily on extracting and exporting raw resources are bad because they collapse as soon as the extraction stops for whatever reason.

Though AFAIK Providence in my area is on strike right now so no one is getting appointments.
What a great system that screws everyone over but a few CEOs (and frankly it's about to get rough for them too. 🔫😇)

Also for many medical specialties it does take months to get an appointment! Even with good insurance!
If you have bad insurance, even shit like a dental appointment can mean months of waiting because the only clinic in-network is overwhelmed by patients.

This seems like poor digital security?

Given the expression and lack of blood and ease in which the wolves are able to lift it into the air, I'm saying it was already dead when the wolves found it.
Yeah, yeah, Jesus metaphor, but "it's already dead" is funnier. I can interpret it correctly, but I choose not to. 😉

Lemon8 is gone, too. Anything ByteDance owned or had a major hand in is down.

It'd be nice if the _legal system_ could follow laws, or what's the damn point?

I mean, due to the cost of antivenom and the necessity of it being refrigerated, many people around the world don't have access to antivenoms. Even in the US, if you're bit by a coral snake, you're shit out of luck because no US pharmaceutical company makes coral snake antivenom right now. 🙃

It's considerably worse than that. Sublethal amounts of venom is injected into horses or other livestock. The horse's immune system produces antibodies against the venom. Blood plasma containing the antibodies is drawn from the horse. The plasma is dehydrated and refined to become antivenom.

The thing about dogs is the size difference. A Chihuahua is a pushover, a pit bull or retriever will fuck you up, and an Irish Wolfhound will kill you.

The best way to win a fight with a horse is to wait until something spooks it and it takes itself out in its panic. 😏

We aren’t able to post as much on here b/c it’s a crisis but please make sure to keep talking about Altadena
Cops & national guard standing around with their guns out. Black people targeted & stopped for attempting to view what’s happened to their homes
Please push back on the “looting” propaganda

I mean everything that comes out of their mouths or bashed out on their keyboards is senseless yelling, so of course they're projecting that onto ASL. 🙄

If the sister does genuinely have mental health issues, that doesn't mean her allegations are false. Abusers specifically choose victims who are less likely to be believed + being a victim of incest & knowing your family will not protect you is a great way to grow up w/ poor mental health.

These people are vampires and should be treated as such [killed, beheaded, and buried with a giant stake through their hearts so they can't rise again].

Libraries curate their collections, including withdrawal of items all the time. It's only book banning if it's outside forces controlling what books the library can have.

I'm guessing the wind was coming from the left of the picture to the right (meaning down the slope) and that is what spared the utility pole.
The utility pole may also have some sort of fire protectant applied, but that is speculation on my part.

There are cell phone and television alerts for affected areas, and in some places sirens, so Americans aren't totally in our own, but more ways to reach people is better - especially since official online accounts can give advance warning rather than just evacuation orders.

Panic isn't a helpful reaction in a crisis. It's a normal reaction, but it's a counterproductive one. Fear impairs logical thinking, makes us more vulnerable to misinformation, and is easy to spread to other people. It's not tone policing, it's about being an effective helper.
