Oh god did they get this idea from Pinochet? Not reading, I don't need that on my brain. Death to the idf, fuck Israel.
Every time I see Pirate Software I do a double take because I actually met Thor in person multiple times (he is/was a friend of a friend). I’ve had conversations with him and spoke with him at parties. I had no idea he was a big streamer (Tho this was just before he used the algorithm to get big). Not gonna post more details because dox etc.
Let me just say- THIS GUY IS ALSO INSUFFERABLE IRL.
He would only ramble on about himself and he got offended by the most mundane shit at the drop of a hat. I tried engaging with him by showing him a trailer for Metal Hellsinger after he started talking about wanting to do a rhythm style shooter and he got mad (????? WHY????) and he just had no sense of humor, all ego, no fun allowed.
Anyway, he was booted from the friends group for a variety of reasons with Palestine being one of them. He is so insecure, which would be fine if he wasn’t an asshole.
That’s a pretty broad estimate.
As someone who is trans and fled the United States recently because of the political situation- The psychic damage from constantly being exposed to mass shootings and other attacks is real and it does affect quality of life and I think it’s rude as hell to paint people as cowards for wanting to emigrate.
Prior to the genocide I knew very little about the Israel/Palestine conflict and my views were, at best “eh, a two state solution is good???” I got all my views about Israel from surface level media and zero research. Keep in mind that I’m an older millennial so I’ve had to reeducate myself on Middle East politics due to George Bush 2000’s brain rot and political apathy.
I eventually made some new Jewish friends who went on birthright and told me that Zionism is bizarre and fascist. That prompted some research- then the genocide broke out and I started deep diving into the history of the conflict- I’ve gone from a “Idk just want 2 grill, I’m not Jewish or Arab so it’s not my place to speak on this” non-opinion to “I want to see Israel dissolved and every Zionist freak forced to rebuild Gaza by hand while they attend reeducation camps.”
Strategically I think that the genocide is the dumbest thing Israel could have done because the state has ripped off its mask of “civility” and exposed via livestream as the monstrous fascist hellhole it actually is- I just wish that it didn’t have to take the death’s of hundreds of thousands to do it. I don’t believe that Israel will be able to survive the blowback from this genocide, but I’m curious about what other people’s takes on this are.
lol my mental health was thriving during lockdown. I was doing so many hobbies. My friends held discord movie watch parties and I reconnected with a lot of people.
I’m also an introverted nerd tho.
Oof, true. Those poor women getting their eggs cracked with a clown shoe.
Edit: Not like ME, a trans man who got cracked by Tumblr 2012 (owie)
Oh no, where are young men going to get their personality disorders from now?
Don’t let him find me.
I’m trying to figure out if it’s just my windshield wiper that sucks or if this is every Cybertruck. I’ve seen a couple comments from folks about the wiper and the jets that shoot wiper fluid. I live in the Pacific Northwest and it rains a lot as well as the roads are just damp and dirty. What I’ve noticed is that not only do the jets not properly spray fluid over the entire windshield, But the wiper itself doesn’t really contact the windshield near the top of the wiper. It’s acceptable for the driver even though still about 30 to 40% of the viewable area remains dirty. But the real problem is that the area that doesn’t get enough windshield wiper fluid and the wiper doesn’t fully contact the windshield smears dirt across the entire camera housing area. Making auto pilot and FSD unuseable even in perfectly acceptable weather conditions. I received my truck on Dec 23 2024 with a vin ending in 039xxx

Turns out the real turd was inside of him all along.
Yeah no prob.
For me it feels like my blood pressure gently slows down and I feel more relaxed overall. It's not a high feeling, more like a big sigh before you let your muscles relax after a long day.
For a panic attacks it feels like it drags me back to center. The adrenaline stops pumping and I just feel a little tired.
It can cause light headedness and I prefer to take it before bed as needed. It gets rid of the background anxiety when I take it regularly.
The medication can cause low blood pressure, and it's stronger after you initially take it. Last week I took a dose after being out for 2 weeks and I ended up falling down because my blood pressure was too low. My ankle gave out and I just... flopped over instead of correcting myself lol.
I am also on 40mg - 80mg and most people start at 10mg or 20mg so ymmv The side effects level off after a week or two. Just be sure to stand up slowly and avoid taking it before using heavy machinery.
