p sure the main path to victory for the dems here is to either find somebody entirely new or try to mind control the republicans into running vance (even then it's probably still no better than a coin flip)
oh dear we're fucked aren't we

For a moment, I thought I slept an hour longer than I did since I saw some European friends talking about daylight savings.

I really should be doing a lot more with AI. I can see opportunities slipping away.

my unsolicited take on this is that this phenomenon is mostly downstream of the fact that most men today are soft/pudgy/unattractive and if you were vigorous + vital + energetic then women would actively be pursuing friends to lovers scenarios with you
Please, let's just be friends

within the realm of the civilized white collar human, a decent amount of dysfunction between the sexes is downstream of the median man having the weak body of a slave and the non-threatening temperament of an herbivore

For anybody curious: Blood banks *really* don't want to accidentally give somebody HIV. It is not immediately detectable in blood, PrEP is not 100% effective, and anal sex is like 10x better than coitus for spreading HIV (not even including selection effects on those who do it).
i tried to donate blood today, i had an appointment, and they turned me away. apparently you still can’t donate blood if you’re on PrEP or had anal sex within 3 months? (both disqualified me) i thought they unbanned gays from donating? how is this not de facto discrimination?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
US FDA blood donation guidelines apply the same individual risk-based questions to all donors regardless of orientation, deferring for recent anal sex with new/multiple partners or PrEP use to protect the blood supply as these can affect HIV detection. fda.gov/media/164829/d… redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/h…

My hunger signals are honestly pretty weak and I mostly gauge if I should eat on whether or not I feel low on energy. If I ate only when I was hungry, I would probably lose like 10 lbs but also spend a ton more time sleeping/lazing about.

I've been listening to this one jazz circle called Accord on Codes lately. I like how the name sounds. I also feel like it's the type of nice-sounding name that one could only make as an ESL. I spend a ton of time thinking about wordplay, and it never would have occurred to me.

they should have just said nothing and then randomly swapped between the two logos, let people enter a hysteria over it
