I’m an ugly bag of mostly water.

‘Stop poking me!’

We’re both. Apes are a subset of old world monkeys.

e: sorry, old, not new

I can’t remember their names, but one is a televangelist preacher and the other is a woman who’s claiming to be a prophet. They’re both fairly well known. They were in a recent compilation video of evangelical sermons.

I see several specialists. No solutions so far, unfortunately.

Yeah. I move very little now, except for very low-impact PT, because of dysautonomia and autoimmune issues. Something radically changed with my system several years ago, though, so I can’t really eat, yet I don’t lose weight. My body doesn’t tolerate most food now, other than small amounts of rice and meat. I can’t process fruits or vegetables at all.

It’s steadily got worse over the last decade, and yeah, it is slowly killing me, but my doctors haven’t been able to solve it.

I always hated sugar, and ate 3 large meals a day. Huge breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight snacks. Never gained at all.

That all changed after my pregnancy at 28. Suddenly I seemed to gain weight through osmosis. I mostly lost interest in food, and only started eating sensible quantities twice a day.

Now I can’t lose weight at all, even with nearly a gallon of water per day and one small cup of food every day or two (to be fair, my body now rejects most food because of an autoimmune disorder), but I can actually gain weight on less than 500 calories a day. It doesn’t make sense by conventional logic, yet here I am. I mostly live on Ensure and Pedialyte, yet I weigh more than I ever have. It’s really weird.

When I was younger, I could eat superhuman amounts of food and not gain an ounce (I was even accused of having anorexia by strangers because I was so thin).

Now, if I even think about one serving of ice cream, I gain ten pounds. Oh shit, I’ve done it. Back to the treadmill, I guess.

Women should be screaming in agony and bleeding out in their beds at home, as god intended. Pain and death in childbirth is the price of Eve’s sin, and only the pure and righteous earn an easy pregnancy.

I am not kidding, I’ve heard this from evangelical extremists (who have now been voted into power).

Every accusation is a confession. These won’t be the only death panels, either. Far, far worse is to come. They’re willing to kill anyone in defence of their supposed ‘superior morals’.

The common excuse I’ve seen from them is that he was entitled to have all of it.

Of course, they also freaked out about Biden having a few things from his previous White House stint in his garage around the same time (none of which held a candle to what trump had in quantity or severity), but nevermind that double standard. Trump was allowed because reasons.

Death camps. I’m not kidding – we are seeing the exact same phenomenon as Germany in the early 30s, with propaganda supercharged by the internet. Many, many people are just too wrapped up in themselves to see what’s actually happening, and they will only retreat into themselves further as things get worse. It’s a coping mechanism.

I think so. The graphics are photoreal in many games, and there are comfort settings to prevent nausea and whatnot.

It’s come a long way, baby!

Good news – a degree or experience is not a requisite in trump’s administration. If anything, it’s a liability.

Anyone visiting the Capitol, presumably.

VR is actually amazing now. You just need a comfortable headset (the Bobovr M3 Pro is my favourite).

The graphics in some games are awesome, and I can watch movies in a full theatre environment on my sofa. I’m kinda sad it hasn’t taken off, because it really is great. I’ve gotten my whole family into it now, even my 88 year old dad.

And be prepared to tell this guy he has to use the ladies’:

I’m seeing a lot of comments taking this literally or saying why didn’t he do this before –

You all realise this is a very powerful symbolic gesture, right? This is a diplomatic move, not a literal one. The president of the US would never strike at this time in this kind of proxy war, and this is the closest ‘fuck you’ he can issue at Russia (which, again, would not be said aloud).

There’s nothing the US president could do to poke the Russian bear –other than escalate it to a hot war – other than this. This is an outgoing diplomatic move, and that is all.

You did it! Thanks so much, you’re the best! ❤️

Okay, your comments are clearly in bad faith and I’m done wasting time on you.
