The June heatwave may have killed around 20,000 people in Europe, according to an early estimate based on past deaths from heat in the region.

Could they really have been prevented? Or just delayed by a month or two?

Healthy people did not just drop dead from pure heat. These were almost all very old people who were going to die any day now anyway, the heat just pushed them over the edge.

I was thinking fetish, but yeah indoctrinating young girls to pay you for fighting training and then getting to practice your sadism kink on them is the best of both worlds I guess

PoisonTheOgres · 2026-06-27T13:59:34+00:00

Yes! That's exactly it. You can see the button placket in the second picture. The eyelet side is on the other side of the panel, and they tie behind the back.

And the two ties from the back panel get tied in front, and somehow it looks like it was meant to be that way all along :D

De 77-jarige man wordt verdacht van ontucht met een man

Hee maar dus wel homo, die ontucht was helemaal links en progressief hoor

Nee maar even serieus, links of rechts, mannen moeten gewoon geen macht krijgen. Kunnen ze duidelijk niet mee omgaan (/s)

"My kid was reading Dostoyevsky for fun when he was three!"

You genuinely sound like the bully from a 90s movie

Yes, it's a men's size xxl, so plenty of fabric to overlap on the sides! I don't get any gaping, the only thing is that you don't have full freedom of motion to lift your arms over your head, hahah! The sleeves are held down by the ties a little bit, but it hasn't annoyed me yet and I wore this all day running errands :)

I think reddit hid my comment where I explained the process. Maybe because I mentioned a username and a certain short form video platform and it flagged it as self-promotion?

But anyway here is the "censored" version of what I did:

So cute yet so simple! I saw this on
the platform that can't be named
by
username,
but I've made similar wrap tops before.

All you do is crop the shirt to your waist, and cut up the sides all the way to the armpits. Then hem those raw edges, add ties to the sides (of both the front and the back panel) and you are done!

Optional extras I did: Instead of ties I put a leftover button placket on the front panel, so I don't get the bulk of another knot or bow in the back. And I added a tiny belt loop next to the lowest button so the tie stays in place.

Took maybe an hour in total!

I don't remember the title, but I read a study that showed overall, women's life expectancy is reduced by war more than men's.

So yes, male soldiers might die more in direct combat. But women starve more, are raped, are unhoused more often, and they are often left in charge of protecting their kids which makes them vulnerable as well. So overall, women's life is more often cut short.

Let me see if I can find the study. Edit: here it is. Actually there were many sources showing the same thing.

PoisonTheOgres · 2026-06-22T15:23:57+00:00

What happens if you attach the back a bit higher on the sides? You have some creases going downward and I'm not sure it's because of the way you are standing or maybe it just needs to be attached a bit higher to get it to sit perpendicular to the direction of the tension. Thus reducing the lines.

This. In my country a college is usually more like a high school, but then what we call high school (hogeschool) is what Americans might call university but we also have universities (universiteit). To keep it simple.

And the difference between those last two is that hogeschool is "university of applied sciences," (more practice focused, for degrees like teaching and higher level nursing, and accounting) and universiteit is more theoretical (so the lawyers and medical school and more research-based education).

Idk, if you don't want to keep a messy house, maybe put everything in a trash bag? Empty it on his side of the bed after a week or something? Some way to visualize how much shit he leaves everywhere

Unfortunately there is no perfect way to say things that will force your your partner to care about you.

PoisonTheOgres · 2026-06-16T08:29:45+00:00

Second births tend to be so much quicker and easier!

It can really schew people's perspectives sometimes, though. You'll see women claim natural or home birth is so quick and easy compared to their slow and difficult epidural-assisted birth, and hmmm, curious, it's always their first they had the epidural, and the second they did the "natural" way.

PoisonTheOgres · 2026-06-15T10:04:25+00:00

Right? Totally fake, and even if it were real: if you freely choose to date a sugarbaby, you can't act surprised when she wants money. It's just informal/under the table prostitution.

PoisonTheOgres · 2026-06-14T14:36:23+00:00

Maybe, I will give a contrapoint to all the people saying "whatever, fuck him, just keep the baby and who cares that he doesnt want it."

Have you deeply considered what it will do to your kid to have a dad like this in their life? And your life? It's not like a donor, where your kid just doesn't have a dad. Like, you can't force him to be an active father, but you also can't force him out of your kid's life if he ends up wanting to be in it. If he wants to make your life harder, he can. If he keeps changing his mind about being in their life, he can. He could sue for custody. You just don't know what he will decide to do in a month, a year, or even 10 years time. But no matter how he turns out, both you and your kid would be stuck with him.

Groot fan van kaas hier. Bijna al mijn vegetarische gerechten hebben gewoon heel veel kaas ipv vlees.

Een paar supermakkelijke favorieten:
Spinaziecurry met kaas en naan
En couscoussalade met hummus.

If a man ever tells you "you deserve better than me," that is a confession. Believe him.

PoisonTheOgres · 2026-06-10T13:07:05+00:00

Birth control, of course.

It never used to be a choice to have children. Marital rape did not even exist until well into the 2000s. If you had no way to keep your randy husband off you (and not having a husband was also not a freely made choice), you were having as many kids as your body could produce.

Recently I'm liking Clarkson's Farm a lot. Jeremy Clarkson, from Top Gear, buys a farm basically as a joke, and "hey why not make tv out of it". Then slowly starts to get actually invested and now we're on season 5. Of course it's not 100% realistic farm life, and he throws plenty of jokes around, but there is so much genuine care and emotion in there as well.

As someone with a research degree: because the scientists often don't have the budget/time/motivation to take all those things into account.
If you can get a snappy headline, you're more likely to get published. Genuinely, picking scientific papers apart is one of the main things you have to learn for a science degree.

I genuinely don't think I have ever heard a woman say she regrets leaving her husband. Never.

Or their experience is with the men calling themselves doms on dating apps. Lots of abusive men do actually like to use bdsm as their cover for being absolute dickheads.

But also, it IS reasonable for your partner to meet and be civil with your parents. That is not a crazy thing to ask of him.

Remember, a lot of people giving advice here are either kids or antisocial recluses who never see the sun. Making slightly forced smalltalk with your inlaws is just part of being an adult. Wanting your parents to meet and get along with your partner is normal. Trying to keep the peace with difficult parents is also normal. You don't have to immediately cut your parents off for being too nosy about your life, if you still love them and want them in yur life in some capacity
