Happy birthday!

Is it that one person who's still holding a grudge against him and his friends years later?

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

Yep, along with some of his friends. It was genuinely disgusting

Oh, I think I know exactly who you're talking about. It didn't take long for someone to make a character AI bot of them after that, either

Some people are just disgusting

True, a lot of people came out to support me when it happened, and I deeply appreciate all of them <3

I'll try to focus more on that whenever these anxiety spikes happen x3

I appreciate the support <3

Honestly the worst of it was how others were just... attacking me personally because popular people decided to do it. It's a whole snowball effect

The stress of the whole immigration process probably doesn't help with these anxiety episodes either

and told me I was being unfairly targeted. But I guess something that keeps popping into my mind in neat little anxiety spikes was just a day ending in y for everyone else

I haven't been to the VR vore meets since because I don't feel safe there. I keep thinking people will mock me when they see me

It's been over a month and I still keep thinking back to what happened, usually without meaning to.

From being told to shut up to being called a child and told to touch grass, all from people with huge reaches and audiences, it sure was a fun ride.

Especially since people working on it reached out

I'm not saying there's no danger in doing it, and I get that many might not be able to be there *personally*, but you can always help organize and finance actual actions.

This is far more effective than voting for the center-right instead of the far-right. Politics isn't limited to elections.

I've taken part in agitprop and helped organize and finance some of these, but when I look to the "Western" "left", these concepts seem... almost foreign to them? It's not like there's no history of them in Europe and the US, but it feels like people completely forgot about them

As weak as the left has gotten in Brazil, we still do things like take over abandoned buildings to create support structures for the homeless/vulnerable, protest bills inside legislative assemblies as they're being voted, occupy a governor's palace to force them to talk after ignoring us...

Heck, my insurance was forced to fully cover an out-of-network procedure that would ordinarily cost around R$ 8.500 (1620 USD), the most expensive procedure I've ever come across, because the law mandates them to

When I used the public system, I did have to wait for an EKG, but it only took 3 weeks

It can be faster (which is why I've used the private system before, since we have both in Brazil), but even when I had private insurance with co-pay it'd cost me the equivalent of $70-100 a month, even when I had more complicated procedures done

The creator of ChatGPT is named "Altman," as in "alternative to human" and he leads OpenAl, which is completely closed. His main opponent is the company Anthropic, meaning "human-centered" is led by "Amodei," as in "loves gods". Then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a company that said that it will do no evil. Brilliant work as always Kojima!

unbelievable lol

It's absolutely insane. In Italy, a private psychiatrist is like 100€ per consult, and back in Brazil a private doctor would cost me maybe R$150 (roughly $30). That's without factoring in the public system, which is, y'know, free

I seriously believe medical extortion like this *should* qualify as a valid reason to seek economic asylum. Every country outside the US recognizes healthcare as a fundamental human right.

It's pretty scary seeing some US furs I've followed for years suddenly having major health concerns, and the fact they need tens of thousands of dollars for treatment is fucking insane.

A single ER visit in the US costs more than what I paid in taxes my entire life.

If you genuinely believe a military attack on Iran will improve the lives of Iranians and facilitate a transition into liberal democracy, I have land on the moon to sell you.

Same if you believe what they need is a restoration of their old monarchy.

The fall of the US empire can't come soon enough

I don't think that's how that works

Hey, so this is hard to talk about but I've got two upcoming doctors appointments, one about a bad heart issue I recently went to the hospital for, one for a large potential melanoma on my head... I don't have insurance so I need to ask for help. Love you all, please RT

Listen if you're thinking of calling someone out for a fetish they have, even if it's one you think is problematic: now is really just not the time
