The list goes on.

Not excited about it!

This is not comforting

My son’s dog keeps trying to drive them off. I’ll see what I can do.

But it’s not unusual - they can get super burly, especially after autumn.

“Yeah, science, bitch!”

• Albert Einstein probably

There’s no “fuckery”, just shortsighted greed and the inevitable results of refusing to stockpile necessities, and then the interruption of the supply chain by the deaths of millions and the disability of millions more

There is fuckery, but this ain’t it.

Oh, it’s gonna be even more fun, because we’re gonna get all the “fun” tropical illnesses that were kept out by the cold.

Dengue fever time, baybeeeee

I sometimes wonder if we could breed them for domestication like we’ve done for foxes. Would they start showing brindle patterns and different ear shapes? It’s a fascinating process.

I have two raccoons that like to visit my yard just in case I put out peanuts for the jays.

They have shoulders broader than my pit mix’s. It’s truly impressive. And terrifying.

Just in time for the resistance shitstorm, yay!

Oh, and WHO says we’ve run out of cholera vaccines: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/global-stockpile-cholera-vaccines-empty-or-extremely-low-who-2022-12-16/?taid=639c9bdefbe2520001632e05

Because any laws originally aimed at authoritarian groups using overt violence will almost inevitably be used to attack and demoralize the left

I’m non-binary and it was both infuriating and revolting for that to be spewed out.

Good.

Heard too many horror stories about prisons charging obscenely for books or access.

I laughed.

Are there any charges for the tablets or books?

Well your PT is right.

I’m so sorry that they did that to you. Opiates are now treated like Satan by a lot of people, even professionals, and it’s horrific.

Gabapentin really works for some people (and my dog) - but it gave me suicidal ideations and then I had to be weaned off of it and it made the pain worse.

I am glad that you finally got the treatment and relief you need. All the best, friend.

Wow, that’s bad practice. Thank goodness you insisted. Well done being an advocate for yourself!

I’m sorry for your loss, but I’m glad she had the last few years without pain. Her memory for a blessing.

I’m thankful that it was just for bursitis and not for a chronic condition. But the sheer number of people I see hobbling around… gah.

I thought this was already well-known. I had to have a steroid shot in my knee in 2016 and the doctor warned me that it couldn’t be done too often as it would hasten degeneration.

I just cackled, this is so good

It was great, I used it to get my son a dog trailer for his bike.

They think their wealth and power will insulate them from the results

And it may! … for a while.

How do you figure that, exactly?

Does it? Or does it mandate that the first options must be people who are familiar with the culture the kids are coming from, so we don’t commit genocide all over again?
