I love how fast and loose this plays with the definition of "salad".

While it might feel rough for you, it's worth remembering that a lot of women have faced very real threats of violence for their upfront honesty.

If you're only getting vague signals then maybe that's the sign that she's not fully into you.

I didn't intend to be dismissive and if my response sounded that way then I apologise.

I agree it's difficult to be on the receiving end of vague signals, but my perspective is if there's any annoyance or frustration it should be directed at the violent/angry men who have caused women to feel unsafe.

Helping women feel safer by tackling the violence and misogyny directed at them by men will benefit everyone.

I had a music teacher who would read sheet music like this. He said he could hear it, and he prefered it to actually listening to a recording because his imagination was so much richer than what could be captured by a recording.

I thought it was amazing and really envied this ability.

Oh wow. I know we don't know each other but I want to thank you, and other people, doing this job. It's so important.

This absolutely screams "I was zooted on lithium when I came up with this" 🫤

To be fair, the concept of mitochondrial Eve still trips me out.

It sounds like you're getting a specific kind of headache, perhaps a migraine or a cluster headache, that can be debilitatingly painful. The fact that you throw up sounds a lot like it's a migraine.

I can't function with a migraine. I have to take pain medication, lie down in a dark room and hope I can sleep it off.

Maybe I'm overly cynical, but I suspect this was the plan all along.

Let's not forget the survivorship bias at play here. I don't want to take this somewhere morbid, but the older people you know survived to make it to be old. There were people from their generation with undiagnosed issues that did not.

I worked two separate jobs doing film photo processing when I was a university student. The first was at a factory that handled a lot of police photography. I saw way more crime scene photos than I needed to.

The second time was in the photo development lab for a high street pharmacy chain. I swear, either people didn't realise their photos were developed and handled by other people, or some of them really got off on us seeing their weird shit.

There are a lot of reasons, but I think this article does a good job of listing the main criticisms: https://www.themarysue.com/the-autism-speaks-controversy-explained/

But in a nutshell:

• They frame autism as a disease that needs curing
• None of their board members are autistic
• They spread fear and misinformation about autism
• As a charity, embarrassingly little of their money goes to actually doing anything for autistic people

That looks amazing! He should be proud.

Terry Pratchett. I'm grateful for the books he wrote and the impact he had on my life, but I feel we lost a champion for wit and empathy when he died.

Bike is short for Bichael

I feel this is deliberately misleading. You don't get to incite violence, causing fear and people's lives to be threatened, and then cower behind "Buh.. buh... but my free speech!"

Paramore's response to this was so classy: https://deadline.com/2024/02/paramore-tennessee-house-resolution-grammy-wins-allison-russell-snub-1235829012/

Looks like Lejek finally got their own human. Good job Lejek!

You know what's really cool? Crows share this knowledge, so there are crows out there who know you've done their crow friends a solid, and they'll look out for you. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/likeus/comments/ctaif0/some_amazing_details_about_the_little_girl_who/
