Water gives you heartburn? I’ve never heard of that, that’s odd. I occasionally get heartburn but oddly enough, it usually means I’ve been sitting down too long. Certainly it’s exacerbated by stuff like pizza or too much coffee, but in any case, simply standing up for a few minutes helps me a lot.

I find that simply drinking a few gulps of water often grants fast relief. Maybe not the best solution right before bed though lol

i dunno, i think there’s a pretty good chance the wsj just bends over and issues a retraction and apology without ever going to court, so trump gets to claim another legal “”“win”“”

I remember I rarely cried as a teen. On one of the rare occasions I did (I was stressed about school), my dad told me to suck it up and would periodically tease me about it for months afterward. My mom, meanwhile, told me verbally it was ok to cry, but if I ever actually tried to come to her to vent about anything, she would brush me off immediately.

Cut to well over a decade later, living on my own, it’s really helpful to cry. Unfortunately we live in a culture where if you, as a man, cry in front of others, you’re likely to lose respect even if you’re literally in mourning. I teared up when the whole thing with Angella happened in She-Ra, I wept for hours when Trump got elected again. I cried on and off for a long time after my best friend of over 15 years ghosted me out of nowhere, but it was always alone (except for once, which I deeply regret. That’s a long story but it did reinforce what I’m saying).

If another man came to me to cry about something, I wouldn’t want to discourage him, but I’m not sure I would even know how to react.

I didn’t mean good digitals didn’t exist, but that analog camaras were still very common. And they were. The overwhelming majority of teens in the aughts would know very well what polaroid was

The aughts?? Surely that must have been a particularly ignorant teen, or they were messing with you. High quality phone cameras were far from ubiquitous then. My phone had a camera but I was still buying disposable ones at CVS before going on trips so I could get high quality photos all the way through the aughts. And if that teen is in their mid 30s now, I’m still younger than them…

Yeah I remember during the campaign he said he’d never called for Hillary Clinton to be imprisoned and I was like, “ok c’mon, even his most diehard supporters can’t possibly forget chanting ‘lock her up’ at every fucking rally. Surely now they will have to admit he lies about even obvious facts.”

Lol. Lmao.

But what you’re saying is only true with a Republican in the position. They’re more than happy to contradict themselves and decide that precedent does matter should power ever manage to change out of Republican hands again. And even then it’d only be the precedent that supports the ends they want.

not to mention the mouse would have to move the core in order to spring the trap so it might not even close properly

So true bestie

Don’t forget, Trump’s full of shit. He was talking positively about Ukraine right before the shipments stopped in the first place. As far as I remember Hegseth got blamed for the stoppage, but he’s still the Secretary of Defense, sooo… don’t assume anything Trump says will happen until actual moves are made. And as far as I can tell, zero moves to restart shipments have actually happened.

If it ever was close to being released (highly doubtful no matter what VNN and guys like him kept saying), I think the insane tariff and foreign trade policy is gonna keep Valve from going in on manufacturing a new product for a long time yet.

Richaaaaard!

It encompasses more than porn. That wording can mean whatever a judge wants it to mean. This is how people wind up in prison for talking about queerness in a positive light.

Not knowing anything about the source material, I agree with rem. I think the tells here are the eyes (the two are fairly consistent, but generative models tend to make them weirdly distinct from each other if they’re even drawn well in the first place) and the keyboard (haven’t seen a generated one that good yet).

I don’t know enough about Fetterman’s past to make a judgement on how his stroke affected him, but you totally could. Brain damage can fundamentally change who you are as a person on every level, from memory to logic, or even spirituality. It can change or entirely destroy your ability to feel empathy, damping some emotions while amping up others. Strokes that fundamentally change personality like that are rare, but certainly not outside the realm of possibility.

Nah, this guy has purple robes, see? This is his cousin, Leomard Bowers

I mean, you weren’t really wrong about them catching on. Usage by everyday people is vanishingly rare and it’s certainly not trending in a positive direction. They’re just… worth a lot now… for some reason.

That’s why I always just blame you. Yes, you!
