  • I miss this kind of conspiracy theory/crazy subculture. Innocent and fun.

    Like Bigfoot isn’t real, but I would be happy if he was. Bigfoot still lets you be around the kinds of people who are far off the beaten path, but you don’t get the disgusting racism/sexism/harmful insanity that we’re getting with the current lot of crazies.

  • I’m also a dumbass mid thirties divorced man, but this is definitely parching my thirsts.

  • It’s uh… a bit more focused on the “cougar” audience. Lots of stiff wood.

  • Been on the receiving end of much weedling and stealth removal.

    Seriously, why is this such a common thing? It is straight up rape. I have had it happen to me multiple times in my life.

  • Few medical doctors have been as lauded—and loathed—as James Marion Sims.

    Credited as the “father of modern gynecology,” Sims developed pioneering tools and surgical techniques related to women’s reproductive health. In 1876, he was named president of the American Medical Association, and in 1880, he became president of the American Gynecological Society, an organization he helped found. The 19th-century physician has been lionized with a half-dozen statues around the country.

    But because Sims’ research was conducted on enslaved Black women without anesthesia, medical ethicists, historians and others say his use of enslaved Black bodies as medical test subjects falls into a long, ethically bereft history that includes the Tuskegee syphilis experiment and Henrietta Lacks. Critics say Sims cared more about the experiments than in providing therapeutic treatment, and that he caused untold suffering by operating under the racist notion that Black people did not feel pain.

    […]

    In the 1850s, Sims moved to New York and opened the first-ever Woman’s Hospital, where he continued testing controversial medical treatments on his patients. When any of Sims’s patients died, the blame, according to him, lay squarely with “the sloth and ignorance of their mothers and the Black midwives who attended them.” He did not believe anything was wrong with his methods.

  • I don’t think any nation hostile to democracy/US interests would dare do anything to Trump in general. Something like a third of Americans voted to destroy their own country. Why would the Saudis want us to not shoot ourselves in the foot?

    How much was paid out over Khashoggi’s death?

  • They took out the machines at all of my local McDonald’s. No free refills, and it’s like $15 for some cold ass fries.

  • This is how dumbasses are going to kill us all. “I grew up drinking milk straight from the cow and never got sick! Big government just wants to prevent you from unlocking the magic of drinking pus!”

  • The later. Also there’s some COVID lab leak conspiracy shit.

    These weren’t the standards that were presented to the public or teachers to review - they were swapped out at the last second from reasonable versions:

  • Hmm maybe there’s something interesting underneath the funny.

  • “The evil queers are coming after your kids!” goes next to “the migrants are gang members” as a way to keep the base in perpetual fear all of the time. Shrieking about something that doesn’t actually happen wastes the lefts time - because people who care about the truth have to take the time to debunk. Then the fuckers turn around and say - “look at you protecting pedophiles” when you debunk their insane shit.

    The “big lie.”

  • Alas, the iceberg lacked staying power: Pretty photographed the 30-foot (9.1 meter) phallic structure on Thursday, April 27. It collapsed the next day.

    Hate it when that happens.

  • over a quarter of an ounce of marijuana

    So like $100-200 worth of weed? Unless it was like shake or something.

  • There is also a lot of other kinds of fraud and abuse going on with many people who treat schizophrenics because… who’s going to believe them?

    Certainly. When I was inpatient I saw them drug a man and lock him in a small closet.

    The state won’t investigate the fact that I was assaulted - they sure as shit won’t ever believe anything that man says.

    I don’t understand why the state of the mental health system is so fucked. and why no one seems to be trying to fix it.

  • The “targeted individual” stuff is sad. There’s lots of tiny YouTube and TikTok accounts where people plead to their imaginary tormentors to stop, or angrily rant about how they’re ultimately going to win.

    I posted on the TI subreddit a few times trying to encourage people to reach out for help/take their medicine, but yeah - you just become part of the conspiracy, or you simply don’t get it.
