Something similar happened to my brother last year for his Covid and flu vaccines. Walgreens said it didn’t accept his insurance and he had to wait another couple weeks for another pharmacy to be able to give them to him

You are saying that consent isn’t important. That’s honestly disgusting.

No, it’s not Christian morality. This is the basics of ethical non-monogamy. Every person involved is aware and consents.

If you fear your partner will be violent towards you, you need to leave. Period. Cheating will not make the problem better. People who are violent will not accept being cheated on without violence. Your number one priority should be getting yourself to a safe place away from the abuser.

And no, I’m not ignorant about this. My parents got a divorced because of an affair. I’ve had multiple partners cheat on me before. I’ve been in an ethical non-monogamous relationship before. I’ve been in a monogamous relationship where I gave my consent that my partner could have sex with someone else. If you withhold information from someone that might make them not consent, they cannot provide informed consent. Cheating is not justified.

Hot take, but there is no justification for cheating. You should just end the relationship or discuss the possibility of having an open relationship instead.

I wonder what the reactions are of the Amazonians?

I found this one on an image search

That’s just MMA gyms

Maybe it’s just because I live in an area that has a lot of people with outdoorsy hobbies like hiking and fishing, but I see a lot of people wear Eddie Bauer everyday

I have a relative that owns a Tesla Model 3 because there is no other charging infrastructure in his part of the country and he bought before everyone knew Elon was a right wing asshole. He let me drive it a couple times. If you don’t use the self driving, a Tesla drives like any other EV. Though, I wouldn’t get in any Tesla if the driver intended to use the self driving.

Tarragon has a light licorice taste and is wonderful. Whenever I make a lemon pasta, I include some if I can find it fresh. It’s also used a lot of food in the Near East and Middle East like chakapuli.

I also love keeping chili powders on hand like shichimi tōgarashi, gochugaru, and mala powder.

I use THC to soothe pain. It works really well for that.

I’ve tried THC for anxiety, but it works less well for that. The best thing I found for my anxiety is kava extract. That stuff just melts anxiety away for me and my wife. (There’s some evidence that kava is potentially hard on the liver, so maybe don’t have booze with it)

I had Long COVID. (Though, not as long as other people.) I had difficulty breathing for 2-4 months, brain fog for 4-5 months, and a low-grade fever of 99.8 F (37.5 C) for nearly a whole year. Shit sucked. I basically don’t remember anything that happened during those months I had brain fog.

This was after 3 vaccines. I can’t imagine how bad it would’ve been if I didn’t have them. During the worst part of the infection, my fever was constantly on the tipping point of “go to the ER” fever.

In addition to changing her position [to opposing bans on fracking], campaign officials said she now backed the Biden administration’s budget requests for increased funding for border enforcement; no longer supported a single-payer health insurance program; and echoed Mr. Biden’s call for banning assault weapons but not a requirement to sell them to the federal government.

I’m clearly not up-to-date on Michigan politics. Why would Shapiro tank her in Michigan?

A year ago, I didn’t know Spanish. Now, I can watch TV shows for natives in Spanish and have conversations in Spanish (despite making some mistakes obviously). Dreaming Spanish and CI is just a really easy way to learn a language. You don’t need to study. You just watch videos and listen to podcasts that are easy enough for you to understand. Overtime, “easy enough for you to understand” will increase in difficulty. (If you know nothing when you start, then the only way you can understand the videos is by drawings and gestures. That’s fine though, because your brain will still figure things out.)

I know is bad, but the unofficial Dreaming Spanish subreddit is a great community. It’s very positive and people share their progress.

“If Harris took a moderate position, she could undermine Republican claims that she is an elite cultural liberal,” Leonhardt wrote. By a “moderate position,” Leonhardt seems to mean banning access to hormone therapy for trans youth—a decidedly right-wing political position that, through misinformed and misleading media coverage, particularly from the New York Times (FAIR.org, 5/11/23), has become more politically acceptable.

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible

I stopped going to a queer meetup where I used to live because I was constantly they/them’d despite everyone knowing I only used she/her. When I brought this up with the group, a couple of them told me, “nobody can be misgendered by neutral pronouns”
