If you don’t support sex workers you can’t like Star Trek.

[theinsects]

fuck you, my child is completely fine!

your child romanticises the idea of running far away and completely changing their personality, looks & soul as a way of coping with having no control over their life & being generally dissatisfied with who they have become

[pastel-petticoats]

There's nothing wrong with being a sex worker, or with enjoying sex work

[pastel-petticoats]

There’s no modifiers to this, btw. Not “its okay to be a sex worker if you have no other options” or “its okay to be a sex worker but also you poor poor victim”. No. It is okay to be a sex worker. Full stop.

Watching people praising Kamala Harris makes my little sex worker heart break

[tiredstripper]

any stripper selling you a tips an hustle type book for any amount of money is scamming you straight up, do not fall for that shit, every strippers hustle is going to be different an the only way you learn that is through practice at the club, you could reald a 1000 books an still not be able to use anything they write. Stop letting girls scam you, especially when they've only been in the business for 5 or less years.

I can't believe people are so selfish they can't spend one holiday away from their family. disgusting

She is only 14 and autistic! Please share this so hopefully people from the area can see it and keep their eyes open. It's been over a week, her mom is worried sick.

[one-time-i-dreamt]

As of December 2020, sweet Alicia is still missing. It's been over a year. Her mother has never given up hope. Based on all the information I heard about the disappearance, Alicia seemed to have left on her own to go meet someone she had met online, possibly while gaming and it seems they groomed and then snatched her. If anyone has any information about her or the case, please come forward. She is just a child who surely wants to go home, but someone malicious is preventing her.

HIGH-key brilliant, I think.  Using mRNA to train the immune system to build receptor proteins to recognize, instead of having to introduce attenuated samples?  That is seriously next-level.

fun fact: any policy on drugs that isn’t harm reduction is going to cause addicts to suffer and die

[uncanney]

fun fact: Drug addiction is a public health issue, and approaching it as if it were a law enforcement issue is prejudicial to addicts and will result in their suffering and death

[jumpingjacktrash]

if you just assume addiction is a method of self-medicating, you’ll pretty much never be wrong.

now, not everything people self-medicate for actually has a proper treatment. i’m pretty sure the reason my uncle made sure to be slightly drunk at all times ‘to round the sharp corners off of things’ was sensory processing disorder. i have that too, and i just kind of accept that i’m going to randomly get my brain sandpapered from time to time. there is no medication for that. all you can do is dull your senses. i’ve chosen not to, but i can’t blame him for his decisions. when a ringing phone feels like getting hit upside the head with a frying pan, liver damage sounds like a fair price to pay.

anyway, it seems really self-evident to me that people don’t enjoy living the life of an addict, they do it because the alternative looks worse. people don’t get addicted to substances just for funsies. they start making a habit of taking something because of insomnia, or grief, or headaches, or depression, or seething undirected rage and terror they can’t put a name to – something that they can’t ignore or shrug off. and for whatever reason – lack of access, lack of knowlege, lack of money, or it just plain doesn’t exist – they aren’t able to apply the Approved Correct Remedy. they use what they can get.

addicts aren’t some weird otherfolk who inexplicably just Do Drugs because they’re Bad. addicts are you with a problem you can’t solve.

If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would

Freeloader Comin’ through!

[moonlight-fox]

We didn’t start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).

And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with ‘please turn off adblock’ the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure they’re not installing malware.

[bramblepatch]

Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is “freeloading” is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isn’t freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isn’t cheating the tv network.

Ok y’all, I work as a web developer and I’m here to tell you that you are 100% right and that it’s shit. SO I’m going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if you’re using an adblocker. 

Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short it’s a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:

Oh no! I’m blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the “inspect” feature

Click the three dots in the top right and open the “Settings” Menu

And then scrolled down to “Debugger” and checked the “Disable Javascript Option”

And then just refreshed the page

You know what grinds my gears?

That I’ve made an adult decision (for an array of reasons), that I do not want to have children. It’s also a decision I’ve made with my partner.

However... there are people around me that insist on making comments like -

“but you’d be a great mum” - I know Susan, I am aware, I just don’t want that responsibility.

“are you sure you aren’t missing out?” - very sure, thanks Susan.

“dont you think your nephew wants a cousin?” - not my responsibility, Karen.

Or my personal fave -

“You’ll change your mind.”

No. I won’t. The more people push me. The most I push them away.

Accepting I’ve made my decision on this seems to be difficult for some. If I am happy, why can’t other people be also?

literally makes me cry with anger that the tories are professing that covid cases are skyrocketing bc of a ‘new covid variant’ in the south-east and not bc they ended an incredibly weak national lockdown three weeks ahead of christmas

[theambitiouswoman]

Seeing unhealthy patterns in your family and deciding that those pattens end with you and will not be passed down to future generations is an extremely brave and powerful decision.

Forgive yourself for repeating what was taught to you as a child, then put the conscious effort into deprogram these patterns.
