Fellow tinnitus sufferers: I was Googling, again, and randomly fell upon this Reddit comment and ... uh ... it actually worked? Or like, seriously reduced the ringing at least temporarily.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate
The Daily Beast writes: "Kim Kardashian's brand SKIMS has sold out its synthetic pubic hair thongs and is now accumulating a waitlist for the product." Their tweet is accompanied by a link to a post with the story.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

I feel like if this were true that we had signed some paperwork with Germany, there'd be a very easy way to prove it
More recently, Sixtus appeared before the Māori Affairs Committee, asserting that the South Island is an independent territory known as New Munster, complete with its own seal and a historical agreement with Germany.

No.

Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling".

It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask.

And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.

This really articulated something that's been in the back of my mind:

Transgender folks remake themselves in their own image, and that scares the shit out of groups who say people should accept whatever hand God, nature, of the universe dealt us.

One reason fascists hate trans people and - because of their blatant misogyny, often trans women specifically - is because transness is not exceptional to us but is a prototype for everyone.
Fascism demands to relegate you to the poverty of form and circumstance of birth. We show you make yourself.

since we're letting podcasters run the FBI now, I'd like to make it known to any future presidents that if you appoint me i will pronounce the "human" in "human trafficking" like Quark from DS9.

there will be no other substantial changes

The pay offer is "still below current and projected rates of inflation" that is an offer of a paycut. What would it teach our kids if they did NOT strike holy shit.
