That girls wearing shirts that showed any sort of curvature were leading boys to hell. RIP girls with anything larger than a B cup.
And then there was a transfer student I became friends with. Didn’t have the words for them at the time but probably non-binary. They used a chest binder and got in trouble for that. Damned for having boobs, damned for trying to minimize them; damned for just existing.
You think FIFA and the selection of the US as host isn’t political?
I’m for the people who will be posting dank memes shitting on the US government.
Yes, it’s recognized in the US. Not always quickly and accurately, I’ve known several people who lived with it for years before a doctor finally figured it out.
(Pure personal anecdotal, not data-backed) I suspect a generation of doctors were trained only to look for a red rash in the shape of a bullseye target on the patient’s skin and not to run blood tests until a bullseye is seen. People with Lyme don’t always get the bullseye rash or sometimes it’s in an area not easy to detect it (on scalp, covered in hair). Hopefully there continues to be better awareness and diagnostics.
It’s not super common where I live (middle of the US). I’ve been bitten by ticks many times but never contracted Lyme. My state advises saving the tick for 30 days after it bites you. If you have any symptoms, your doctor’s office can arrange to have it tested. If it tests positive, you get tested and then treated if needed and also the an official report goes to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), which is a national-level public health agency.
Unfortunately, the CDC is under the Department of Health and Human Services, which is now run by RFK Jr. I wouldn’t be surprised if that moron were to advise tanning one’s butthole as treatment for Lyme.
Yes, my industry is revising their standard to say something about needing processes to control the use of “AI”. Literally a sentence long. So I pointed out that as written it would apply to spell check and face ID to unlock my phone and Google search engine and so on. “Oh, that’s not what we mean, we mean like ChatGPT”. They need to write that before they publish an absolute shit requirement for the industry to wrestle with.
Humans don’t fit neatly into a male bucket and a female bucket. I’m not interested in discyssing this with anyone unless they’re referring to studies from scientists and medical professionals who actually have some knowledge behind their statements.
There will be games in Canada and Mexico too, consider going to those instead. The cup is in July, so due to height of summer I would be looking at Canada, personally.
I’m seeing friends cancel vacation plans and work colleagues cancel work trips to the US and I don’t blame them. If I didn’t already live here, I wouldn’t be looking to travel to the US without really good reason, and a sport tournament would not be enough for me.
People getting CEO jobs aren’t hanging with working class bros. They either never were working class or they shed those connections on their way along the corporate ladder.
I wasn’t “allowed” to watch it, not because my parents had a problem with it but because we didn’t have cable TV. I miss some references other people make about SpongeBob or other Nickelodeon / cable TV stuff, but I’ve never felt like I missed out much. Especially now as an adult, I just get to ask people about something they’re nostalgic for from childhood and have interesting conversations.
I did see half an episode of Nickelodeon Guts once and would have watched the heck out of it if we’d had cable.
(US context) The advice I got was that every marriage has a prenup. If the couple doesn’t write it, it’s just the default prenup their state wrote and it’s going to be crap for both people.
No, and doubly so on the second. SEO = search engine optimization. Big corps pay people to manipulate themselves into the top hits of searches; I don’t see Lemmy ever doing that.
The top hits will be from companies that scrape the Fediverse for content then poop AI-generated slop into “top hit” positions they paid Google for.
First thought: I hope the women are safe and have an avenue to report him and get help if his advances are not welcome
Second thought: he’s a creep
My diocese had one of those too. He ran the Newman/student center at the university. The bishop knew about him and “applied restrictions” to him, but it wasn’t until he died that they publicly investigated him.
It was about ten years after he died that the investigation report came out. They concluded “there was a homosexual culture” at the Newman Center to blame.
