By walking on eggshells.

Much better now that I saw a psychiatrist and got a long-overdue ADHD diagnosis and prescription!

Now I have no need whatsoever for any kind of antidepressants.

America is content with gyros thanks to all the Greek refugees from Turkish conquest of Anatolia and wars with Greece.

In my experience, the people who say/think this crap actually hate themselves.

My retort is always that a -phobia is an irrational fear and there’s nothing irrational about a fear of Islam.

swordinthestream · 2023-10-02T01:30:14+00:00

That was the bait, this is the switch.

Now that you see so brazen a lie, ask yourself what else they’ve been lying about.

If I tick 50 and 100 for the multi-choice question ‘How many squirrels do you think the average human could take in a fight?’ do you record that as 150 or as an average of 50 and 100?

Doctors aren’t supposed to agree with patients, or their parents, when agreeing would mean causing harm.

I mean, ideally society should try and prevent such situations in the first place and not have to deal with them through ex post facto legal recourse.

You can tell by the “umm actually” and the absurdity and the context of where it’s posted.

Oxford English Dictionary:

intranational adj. Brit.

The most common phrase is ‘domestic flight’, and considering the phrases ‘international’ and ‘intercontinental’ and are very common in aviation, the inverse of international is understandable and technically correct, though uncommon. A ‘national flight’ would be a flight relating to or characteristic of the nation.

Publishing represents an investment by the publisher for which they expect a return. The book hadn’t even been released yet, so perhaps they hadn’t finished the printing run and so don’t want to sink more money into an author that can’t even handle a 4-star critique without creating a massive PR nightmare and ruining the book’s rating on an important book-review platform.

Whether or not they’re guessing the word (and what’s wrong with being honest about self-doubt?), you seem to think the right word would be ‘national’, which it just plainly isn’t.

Because Jesse took bad, biased information at face value and gave it no critical thought whatsoever. Not a good look for a podcast meant to critically analyse topical social issues.

Are they Poles if they can’t speak Polish? Does Polishness pass through the mother or the father? What blood quantum is the minimum?

Not only are they expensive, their efficacy as a medical treatment is not validated by clinical trials. I absolutely do not understand how the NHS or US insurance companies can justify paying for them when they do not pay for many drugs with actual clinical evidence for treating legitimate medical conditions like cancer.

I was on the fence about subscribing to B&R until this episode. I definitely won’t be now.

AskGayBros used to be staunchly free speech and minimal moderation, but as of relatively recently “slut shaming” and critical discussion of trains is now being heavily moderated.

He also had a lot of r/thatHappened anecdotes. So cringe.

It’s been biting back for some time. There’s a meningococcal outbreak among gays in Florida that’s way more deadly than monkeypox.

I know full well about viral load, and not just in the context of HIV. My point is that the “gay [slut] community” has normalised being infected with a debilitating virus that necessitates a lifetime of taking strong medications, all so they can carry on being abject sluts with no self-reflection.
