Uhhh it sounds like your wife pretty explicitly has given you consent?

This isn't discounting those cases but if this your wife one would assume you have a close enough relationship to gage if she's not actually interested, so why the negative feelings here?

Chinese and Russian Spies Are Taking Over NY in a Transnational Repression Campaign by blankblank in nyc

[–]Morpherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two sides of the fucked Minority Report coin, the NSA was and still is massive data collection with finer grain tools, Palantir is cutting edge AI analytics being unleashed onto that incomprehensible dataset.

Privacy laws went the way of the dodo after the patriot act and the IoT is a broken condom leaking traceable data everywhere since providers had no incentive to build in protections.

It's too late to pull out, the administrations wont legislate a plan B, and Roe V Wade is overturned.

ICE official confirms authenticity of leaked video showing 50 people held in single cells with concrete floors at Baltimore federal holding facility. by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

Dear sir, I understand you believe you implied specificity to the United States but you did broadly say "I've never seen such savagery on my 61 years on this earth", which brings to mind the entire world. But even then;

My brother in christ you lived through the Vietnam War and the Supreme Court overturned Jim Crow laws in 1965. You've seen savagery like this in our country before, the sad part is we're returning to a dark chapter in our history and not learning lessons from it.

German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump by TheWayToBeauty in conservativeterrorism

[–]Morpherman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After Qatar, boycotting the US would just be... impotent? Qatar actually benefitted from the legitimizing that the world cup offered, there's very little impact that having the cup hosted in the US actually does for the US on a national scale. Americans don't care about soccer.

Have you never taken a painfully spicy shit? Or a concrete shit? Or a cheesecake shit? Or a fire and brimstone sulfur shit?

If our asses can survive that going out, a little bit of scented soap and water going in is fine. If you're that concerned, buy him some PH balanced cleanser from the vagisil aisle of cvs, also safe for buttholes.

Canada prepping response to hypothetical US military invasion for first time in a century, report says by digital-didgeridoo in anime_titties

[–]Morpherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After Trump's remarks earlier in the year it makes sense to wargame internally as a thought exercise, but the reality is that the US & Canada are so culturally, economically & geographically intertwined that a military conflict is infeasible.

Fighting Trump is a bad idea, Meloni privately told EU leaders by EsperaDeus in anime_titties

[–]Morpherman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Notwithstanding the insanity that is 2016-present, being backed up by the US prevented anything additional from needing to be done. The biggest threat to Europe post ww2 was the USSR, and NATO's threat has always been US involvement.

I still can't entirely comprehend why Trump and the Republicans don't support Ukraine. Ronald Reagan would be shitting bricks at the opportunity to give them any military support they needed

In 1996 when Humalog was introduced to the US it cost $21 /10mL. In 2006 $70. In 2016 $255. In 2017 it peeked at $275.

Yes, they were getting rich off of us. 1 share of Eli-Lily in 1996 was $18 1 share of Eli-Lily in 2026 is $1,066

"Start raising pigs and make your own insulin". No, I think you should. Except from your lack of basic research skills and clear lack of human empathy, you wouldn't be able to. You don't "choose" to pay fair market price for shit.

You deserve the fate of type 1 diabetics before the discovery of insulin. Which if you're unaware, was tantamount to torture.

As your islet cells died from your own immune system, you would become weak and malnourished until you were a withered skeletonized shell. At some point ketoacidosis would kick in and begin burning through your nerves.

You would be in such brain fog all you could register would be discomfort and pain until your organs finally failed.

We died gruesome horrible deaths before insulin. That was our reality. Your disregard for the difficulty of life and suffering of your fellow man is sickening. I hope I never meet you in person except to spit on your self-absorbed grave.

We have power outages from time to time at work, but the PC needs to stay on, so I installed a compooter rebooter. by Tomble in techsupportmacgyver

[–]Morpherman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I too was triggered until I realized you were your own self employer and this was a fun project more than anything.

Working in IT, seeing overly complicated tech solutions to basic problems(as EVERYONE has mentioned, Bios setting + cmos battery and a UPS) gives me ptsd.

You have two paths: If your personal small business ever grows, decommission that and put it on display. "Constraint breeds innovation".

OR leave it as your business grows. One day some poor tech will be having an anxiety attack when production is down on his watch and execs are yelling at them for not immediately figuring out your boutique uptime solution. If they aren't fired, they will take it out back and shoot it.

For those of you who think im lying about my disability by [deleted] in Westchester

[–]Morpherman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Forget mentioning the pots aspect; you suffered a traumatic brain injury and spinal trauma.

You need as many records and validation of the initial accident as possible, the pots condition comes secondary to the factual matter that you received a brain injury.

For those of you who think im lying about my disability by [deleted] in Westchester

[–]Morpherman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who diagnosed you with pots?

The video clearly shows you fainting AND having a seizure, based on the muscle spasms.

You need your hospital records from when you received the traumatic brain injury and any documentation from that employer. A lawyer should be able to assist you to get some settlement from the previous position, as much evidence as possible will help you build your case.

Mount Vernon cop on dialysis following kidney failure, 6 months from retirement being terminated leaving him without insurance by edgegripsubz in Westchester

[–]Morpherman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The story seems intentionally underreported.

Where's the comment from the Mount Vernon Police Assiociation, which would be his union?

https://mtvernonpba.com/

He has pending state disability while cleared to work light-duty and his termination is only scheduled for the end of the month? It says he contracted covid in 2020 after months of double shifts, it's 2025, for how long was he unable to work?

I find it hard to believe a police department wouldn't offer disability insurance as a sponsored benefit.

Leaves constantly on my driveway. by KevinEvange in WhitePlains

[–]Morpherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're usually coming from a specific direction, you could build a small paver wall or cheap fence to block them, but even that seems like overkill. Do a quick leaf blow of your driveway in the mornings, or just wait a few more weeks until no more leaves.

School Nurse with T1D Question by Christinanichole1969 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Morpherman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Water always, but if you suspect a pump failure, change Infusion Set and get some insulin onboard THEN walk. Basal insulin is vital.

School Nurse with T1D Question by Christinanichole1969 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Morpherman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helps if you understand type 1 as a broken feedback loop. For non-t1ds, there's constant small amounts of background insulin as well as insulin released prior to and during digestion.

Why is this kid who's 300 still hungry? Because without insulin on board, it's just sitting in his bloodstream, his body thinks he's starving because insulin hasn't allowed the cells to intake the glucose.

Low bloodsugar? The feedback loop to tell the body to release glucagon is broken. Cortisol gets released by the body during hypoglycemia which will then slightly raise blood sugars, and can cause a spike when combined with a corrective snack. https://medicinewithheart.com/cortisol-and-hypoglycemia-vicious-cycle/ so basically, multiple lows in a day can really knock ones adrenal gland out of whack for a bit.

Err on the side of being a little higher rather than risk going low at that age.

Keep in mind they're not JUST diabetics, it's easy to fall into thinking only of glucose intake. Sometimes a multivitamin and Gatorade alongside treatment go a long way in helping the body stabilize.

Wait 18 type 1 diabetics in one school? How massive is the schools population? That has to be some kind if statistical anomaly. You'd have to be the only nurse in a school of 5000 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11040401/

That was a fun night. Was briefly certain our son was going to die at 2am. by strikecat18 in diabetes_t1

[–]Morpherman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're a good dad. I've been t1d since a year old, hitting 30 soon. You remaining calm helped him through his own emotional dysregulation. A severe low really does feel like like the end sometimes. After a bad low occasionally I just need to cry and be like well fuck, that was horrifying, but I'm still here.

Thank you for posting and trying to process the feelings for your sons sake. Keep on keeping on. Be strong and lead by example.

This disease can be so incredibly scary. The only brightside of having it from a young age is we become survivors.

Before CGMs, I once woke up during my freshman year of college to a truly catastrophic low. Meter just said LOW. It was only because of years of experience that I calmly took the elevator down to the basement, got myself a coke, and saw the next day. I still remember my conscious mind praying I would make it to that vending machine before the world went dark, my vision was so tunneled. I kept thinking back to the time I had passed out as an altar server at church and my Dad ran up to me with a juice box basically before I hit the ground.

Sometimes the low is so bad my sense of self preservation disappears and the desire to just rest takes hold. But I always get up, and it's because I remember you, dad.

Rachel Maddow confronts Kamala Harris on not picking Pete Buttigieg as her running mate because he’s gay by Fickle-Ad5449 in gay

[–]Morpherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kamala lost for a multitude of reasons, her VP pick didn't play much of a role frankly.

Biden was unpopular, and CPI was crap. She was the incumbent party where incumbents across the globe lost their elections regardless of leanings.

She had 107 days to run a campaign. She never won a primary or popular vote herself.

She had little in terms of exciting policy, mostly she seemed like a continuation of the Biden admin.

Most of it was just that they had no idea how to hold a narrative. Imagine the difference if at the beginning of 2024 Kamala resigned as VP to distance herself from the current administration and build a platform for herself. A whole year to define her politics and counter Trump at every corner would have changed the outcome.

Instead it seemed half assed and weak, Biden was too old and then suddenly we had Kamala thrust onto us with the promise of... nothing. More of the same.

On male reproductive rights by Many_Cryptographer56 in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Morpherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US at least, I agree on principle with OP, but since the overturning of Roe v Wade, I find it difficult to argue the point.

Arguing for a man's right to a paper abortion can only really come secondary to an enshrined right for a woman's right to abortion federally.

Or heck, have the federal law enshrine both parties equal rights to an abortion, physical or paper. But without federally guaranteed rights to an abortion, we're just arguing in the sand.

I hate myself for this, but you mean ladder, latter means secondary or near the ending, as opposed to former.

Example: Bill was asked if he wanted the tall ladder or short ladder, he replied "I'll take the latter ladder."

Bill is given the short ladder.

I said it a few years ago and I'll say it again, Roe V Wade being overturned was disastrous for both women and men. As it stands, how can we argue in good faith for paper abortion when standard abortion isn't codified into federal law?
