Hold on I just. Oh my god we might be able to CURE ASTHMA!! Hundreds of kids die EVERY YEAR from asthma attacks, I cannot count the number of times I'VE almost died due to asthma. It's terrifying, some of my earliest memories are of horrific asthma attacks, they were so bad my mom thought I had whooping cough. Not to mention the social isolation, the torture that is gym class, kids might not have to put up with that anymore!!

We might create a world where kids don't suffer and die from asthma attacks. I legit am crying as I write this. This is incredible!!!

all millenials have absolute permission to be ~wacky~ bc we are all driven insane by the fact that we were the ONLY generation to have access to certain technologies and we sound fucking crazy trying to explain it to people

everyone before us lived in the pre-digital age.

everyone after us lived in the enshittified post .com era

we and we alone were juuuust aged right for the point in time where we had sick ass gumdrop looking computers and phones of all shapes and sizes and you could go out in the world and be human and imperfect without some chode recording you

fucking hell

shit was free and gmail was, actually, simple and reliable.

if youve ever heard of weird polycule drama u gotta understand its less 'poly people are bad partners' and more 'statistically if you have five girlfriends thats like 5x the likelyhood of one of your girlfriends doing something batshit" . like thats just basic math. rollin the dice. you hit the snake eyes buddy. sorry try again.

[selfmaderibcageman]

my uh, close internet friend broke up with his girlfriend over financial things but the more he describes it the more i think its insane he ever stayed. She wanted to be engaged before they even moved in with each other, no prenup, she's 60k in debt, he has like 100k in assets, she's a Divorce Laywer. Can you imagine getting rushed into marriage by a divorce lawyer. lmao.

Game where the ancient hero is awakened from the deathless sleep of centuries in the hour of their people's greatest need, only to find that civilisation is thriving and there are no obvious threats on the horizon; the game then becomes a fish-out-of-water detective sim as they try to figure out what woke them up, and also solve other, smaller mysteries along the way.

in actuality the porn bans and the age-verification shit are all mechanisms by which the incidence of childhood sexual abuse will escalate because the whole point behind them is to further the absolute control over children by their guardians by restricting them from gaining access to information that will enable them to understand themselves and their abuse and make steps to break free of it. and it is guardians of children, members of the families, with total control over children, who are incontrovertibly the ones behind the overwhelmingly vast majority of CSA. this is unquestionably NOT to protect children; it is, by design, to harm them

“no one’s ever mad at me unless they tell me so” is the best assumption i’ve ever made

[dustsculptures]

sorry for tagwatching but you still have to act like they aren’t mad at you imo! bc it’s the mad person’s duty to make it known if they want anything changed. it is never anyone’s duty to be a mind reader.

[nooblord9001]

If I am mad at someone and am remaining Quiet about it, it is because I Do Not Want them to know that I’m mad.

Please respect my boundaries and assume that I am Not mad.

If you’re worried that I am mad, consider the possibility that I am mad for reasons I know are stupid and do not want to make it your problem.

Ohhh that last addition opens my eyes in a big way, thank you.

the weed dispensaries should ask if you would like to round up your purchase to donate to PBS. and if you say yes you get to scan a QR code that gives you 30-day free access to the full run of antiques roadshow. this is how drugs can win the war on drugs again.

[thirdchoiceurl]

IMPORTANT PSA! If you contribute to PBS or any local public broadcasting subsidiary at $5/mo ($60/yr) or above, you gain access to PBS Passport, which has a tremendous library of public broadcast programs available…including the full run of antiques roadshow

Chemical castration for sex offenders to be trialled in 20 prisons - BBC News

Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood is also exploring whether chemical castration could be made mandatory.

[lowercasenospaces]

This is about the UK specifically.

[cavegirlpoems]

See this? This is the trap. This is how they get you. You appeal to outrage and emotion, you make a bold statement like "sex offenders don't have rights" and whip up that righteous anger, get people all thirsty for blood and punishment, right? And that's their foot in the door. Once you've decided that there's a class of people it's okay to do this to, there's no clean line in the sand anymore, is there? Now chemical castration (or whatever fucked up shit you wanna bring into it) is an option on the table. This is how fascists talk, this is how fascists think, and this is how fascists appeal to you to get what they want. Because once you've given them that inch, they can use it to take a mile.

Alan Turing (as in the Turing test) was chemically castrated following a conviction for “homosexual acts” in 1952. He committed suicide as a result.

This absolutely could get used on innocent people at some point and for some people pushing it as a solution, using it on innocent people is in fact the intention.
