PSA for all the lovely masochists: apparently recent (14 days in my case) blunt force trauma to the tits can cause sub-surface injuries that are detected as suspicious by mammogram/ultrasound machines
be smarter than me and maybe don’t bottom for heavy impact that close to your mammogram
SEPTIC TANKS PUMPED SWIMMING POOLS FILLED NOT SAME TRUCK
Appreciate the clarity
I’m often struck when hearing men (and, women) in their teens and 20s express views about reproduction that absolutely would have been anachronistic when I was in my teens and 20s
daughter: can I make juice from a wall
me: ... is it a vegetable?
daughter: ... okay okay, i'm sorry, I know
daughter: it's technically a fruit
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
i would strongly consider it!!
holy shit
I agree, quite apart from the merits of the case. Alito could only defend the Supreme Court's authority to intervene by grievously misrepresenting the facts. The reality is that there's no plausible argument SCOTUS had the power to do what it did. Why didn't that matter to six justices?
my favorite thing about portland is that there's only like a 5% chance i know them
my eternal stance is that the hard part is reviewing code and i am Concerned by people thinking that turning most of the job into reviewing code is a good idea
Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom. Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry. By Isaac Chotiner March 4, 2026
Excuse me. Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me. I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are. Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.
I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train. I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.
Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015? If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.
I love her
The worst part about modern js apps is that it can be really hard to tell sometimes and Yet
Trump is one of the simplest minds in history, so when he unprompted announces that we definitely have enough missiles and are not running out, it's not hard to figure out what that means
got called "very stable" by a mental health professional, who i ALSO managed to make laugh. turns out you CAN get a good grade in therapy. just fyi
It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.
mood honestly
more people should take up livejournaling
someday we're going to find out that all of the hatred for us is because (rolls dice) Jerry Falwell couldn't handle getting rejected by (rolls dice) Christine Jorgensen
it keeps playing out like that so I just wouldn't be surprised
impossible for me not to think of this stretch of Daniel Lavery's "Something That May Shock And Discredit You" any of the tens of times a year some pundit brings up the idea that their GNC ass could have been tricked into transitioning were they a kid today
People tend to think of functional illiteracy as just being unable to read words aloud or such.
What it *really* means is such as not being able to perceive subtext, context, understand who the audience of something may be, etc.
Media illiteracy is fundamentally part of functional illiteracy.
I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.
Conventional wisdom is a really fascinating phenomenon. We're at the point where "everyone knows" kids were being rushed into inappropriate gender transition.
There are between zero and 10 recorded cases of this happening (depending on your definition of rushed).
the worst part about being a parent is when your child accidentally tries to push the boundaries of language and instead deals you 10d20 psychic damage
i seriously meant to try anything in nextfest OTHER than everything is crab but unfortunately everything is crab
well that's a bit forward but
guys, i'm scared
looks like
a black and white typography edit that reads "i am making permanent choices because i want permanent changes." the text is in all caps and is printed over a opened case of tools. the image is textured with very small halftone dots

I know that with the current Court environment there's basically no way they don't just suck off business interests if this ever comes up in a case against a large enough company but I still don't understand how anyone else goes "yeah this is an ok business risk to take"
