hiii i'm andy <3

is this gonna get me fired you think
some of the changes we fear the most and the ones we need the most. many such cases unfortunately
if youre in the US (especially the northeast + michigan) i would avoid bagged salads/greens and generally wash your produce very thoroughly unless you want the diarrhea parasite
Michigan is experiencing its largest outbreak of a parasitic infection that causes severe diarrhea. Nearly 1,000 people have been diagnosed
this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.
try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.
there are UNVERIFIED rumors that the greens have been linked to a company that sources to taco bell. some locations have been actively pulling fresh ingredients like lettuce, avocado, and pico de gallo to mitigate the threat, so i would avoid any products from them just in case. considering how vast supply chains are, i'd be wary of any fast food greens in general for now.
also note this is a PARASITIC infection. most diarrhea-causing pathogens you expect to contaminate your greens are bacteria (e.g. e. coli and salmonella), which are a different domain of organism altogether. cyclospora is a protozoan, which is bigger and more complicated than a bacteria (for reference, malaria is also caused by a protozoan). bacterial diarrhea can be dangerous, but you might also expect to weather it and survive unscathed. do NOT fuck with PARASITIC contamination. you should be scared of this one!
Another note: YOU CAN'T WASH IT OFF!
Only high temperatures will kill cyclospora. It resides in what is like a shell, which is highly resistant to water and most cleaning chemicals. The substance it uses to cling to food is so strong we don't even fully know what its limits are. It may be best to avoid fruits and veggies you can't cook. Scrubbing only works if done hard enough and on foods with no hiding places (Like cucumbers and grapes). Peeling the skin off is your best bet at avoiding it however, scrubbing is not guaranteed.
Thank you OP for posting! Usually washing does work on most sicknesses, just not this one.

i love declining birth rates 🥰 "what a horrible problem! society will collapse!" oopsie it looks like you're gonna have to make having children worth it 😊 teehee you're gonna have to improve society in order to fix this problem, or it will all collapse. oh noooooo. how horrible. :3c
I thought the following quote was a legend, but it actually might be true. King Louis XV (the 15th) of France was a huge horndog. He had a long string of mistresses (I mean, many). He also involved France in several disastrous wars. He also spent a lot on lavish public works and on the court. In other words, he had a pretty extravagant lifestyle all around, personally and policy-wise, and it depleted the national treasury. At some point he or his latest mistress, Madame de Pompadour, was pondering all this, and said, “Après moi, le déluge.” "After me, the flood."
That gets quoted a lot by people who criticize other people who are being selfish in a very short-term way: "Those people are thinking, 'Not my problem. It'll blow up after I'm gone.' In other words, 'Après moi, le déluge,' amirite? Those assholes." Sadly, right now 'Après moi, le déluge' is in fact the attitude of most policymakers. I'm not an anti-natalist, so I do think it's a problem. But after millennia (yes, thousands of years) of high birth rates (to counterbalance the horribly high death rates), with reliable birth control women are saying, "No more." And who can blame them? It's actually a complex problem. - Penicillin, condoms, and hormonal birth control have changed sexual norms a lot in the last few decades. Having been alive and aware in the 1970s, I can tell you that it's very different. - Girls' education is a key driver of economic growth, so many international organizations are pushing it. High fertility also gets in the way of economic growth, so that's gotta go, too. - Feminism as a movement is another contributor, and this has, in different forms, become worldwide. It's part of the sexual revolution, part of a revolution in voting, in education, and in employment. - Industrialization means most jobs are not that physical. Women can and do work at hard physical labor; men just are a little more productive at it - not dramatically, but noticeably. But almost nobody needs to do it anymore in developed countries, and the number of such jobs is shrinking in developing countries. Overall, this means that girls educated this way and encouraged to have small families grow up to be women in good jobs (better than historically) who sex before marriage and say, "Enough of this patriarchal shit," and have no families. Men are not keeping up. They still are the majority of policymakers in the world, and that means they're not really listening to women, who are the people who actually do the hard work of making people. Yes, things are changing among younger men - more are willing to be very involved fathers - but it's slow going, and they are, globally, still the minority. Thus, improve society? Yes. It'd be nice to improve society for half of humanity. It's happening, but not fast enough. And many feminists note the benefits of gender equality to men, who don't have to suppress their emotions, but that's a tough sell. And policymakers are in office only for a few years, so they have no incentive to solve a problem that will take decades to play out. I'm over 60. I'm even a Boomer. I actually can say, "Not my problem." But I don't. I worry about my daughter and her cousins. What sort of world will we leave them? And what about their kids - if any? In the short run, low birth rates lead to the young paying for a numerically larger number of old people (healthcare and retirement). That's a burden. In the long run, it'll be even more unstable. Are policymakers trying to improve society enough so that most couples will end up having two kids? Not so far.
So, two things that irk me about the fuss over dwindling birth rates:
Humanity can thrive just fine with fewer people than we have today. There are genuine issues with a population that's unbalanced age-wise, and they're problems worth addressing, but it's less of a problem to people than to capitalism. No room for growth if the consumer base shrinks. O noes. We might. Need to restructure our economy. For sustainability instead of growth. (I will repeat that there are in fact genuine issues, but I think when the rich whine, they're rarely as concerned with the issues to people, or they might be working to solve them.)
Guess what can help with lower birth rates? Immigration! The rich and powerful countries of the world are the ones most experiencing falling birth rates. Globally, it's not really an issue. Accept more young immigrants from around the world, and you can kickstart your economy and help develop stuff! It's a win/win if you're not desperately trying to create an eternally static ethnostate!
Look, I've seen how hard it is on my family to care for my aging grandparents with their sizable pool of willing and able descendants/cousins to help, and I worry about when it'll be my parents with their fewer descendants, or me with my none. I get it that a population pyramid works best when it's at least vaguely pyramid-shaped and that a lot of countries are getting uncomfortably close to umbrella-shaped. But you can't sit around and whine about people not choosing to breed future carers for you. You need to invest in making this a world where people want children, and have support for raising them, not a world where people are treated like livestock to be optimized and bred for maximum value extraction.

........ orrrrrr
He jack on my rail till [Mission complete]

Conflicted.
This satire article resonated with me so much
i made a grindr and in under 24 hours i got the most insane unsolicited nude to ever exist. hes fully nude on the beach and in his right hand is a black tipped reef shark i could not make this shit up if i tried
artistic rendition
i fucking wish i had a way to prove this but a) passing around nudes is wrong even when its a 40 year old nudist shark freak and b) he unsent the messages bc my silence made him nervous ig. wish he was instead nervous about sharks around his panenis but im not his dad
btw another pic in the set he sent me was essentially the same photo but the shark was a fishing spear and his penis was erect this time. do you think he meant it as a metaphor thats kind of poignant symbolism
he looked almost regal in a florida man way
actually fuck do you guys think i ghosted Poseidon on grindr be honest its hurricane season and im on the gulf i mean did you SEE what that guy did to odysseus
If you see this post, back up your writing
