I'll be shocked if they turn up hard evidence that Trump was directly involved in it, so most likely he'll victimize some executives and throw them under the bus.
Him being directly involved in it was apparently part of the evidence that lead to the conviction of the company, for what it's worth. We'll see if anything will come of it, but odds are better than they were prior to that guilty decision.

I don't know what an e621 is about it sounds scary.
A quick check suggests it's some kind of image board focused on furry porn. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

First public release, anyway. Dunno if there's older ones squirreled away somewhere on the internet or Toady's harddrive or somethin', though.

... anyway, yeah, for years now I've liked thinking of the faint sound in relative silence as the music of the celestial spheres. Sound of the heavens grinding away. It's a way to internalize it as something that's okay, rather than annoying.

Somewhere in the operating paperwork for those machines, there's probably a line that says something along the lines of "Anyone around these for any length of time should be wearing hearing protection", heh.

... if there's not, even odds it's either because it's an intentional omission, or no one's gotten around to suing the manufacturer yet :V

Anyway, yeah, tinnitus is a catchall term but it's not a single condition, the effect can be caused by a number of things, some of which actually are treatable. If it's a worry, do talk to a doc -- some of the fixes/mitigations are as relative simple as ear wax removal or adjusting medications.

About a quarter (men? I'unno, didn't check that) are showing hair loss by 30 (hi), half by 50, some loss starting in the 30s is fairly normal. There's a faintly disgusting amount of research behind preventing/reducing that if you have the cash and care to look into it.

I haven't cut the hair on the top of my head in... over a decade? Not twenty years yet, but it's getting there. I like it long, plus it gives me a low key excuse to wear purple (hair ties).

When it started thinning I just went full fuckit: Nature can do what it wants, I'm just going to brush it out and roll with it. No cutting, no trimming, just tie it up and go. It'd look better with actual maintenance, but I care more about winning the metaphorical game of chicken than I do about appearances, at this point.

But is there even treatment for Tinnitus? Again, I don't know. I don't think so.
It depends on the cause; it's a nonspecific symptom that can be caused by multiple things. Some cases it can be outright cured by dealing with the underlying cause, some cases it can't. Even in cases where there's no full cure, there are methods available to reduce the severity of it. If you're able to and it's starting to cause problems or concerns, deffo talk to a doc (or two).

Invisible ninja oil for your package, huh.

Google had this to say: "The most common way to use essential oils is to inhale them, either directly out of the bottle or by using a diffuser or humidifier. You can also dilute essential oils with a carrier oil and apply it directly your skin. Or you can get creative and add the mixture to a body wash, shampoo, or bath."

I mean, he says he has untreated bipolar disorder, but the thing to remember is a vast majority of folks with untreated bipolar disorder don't act like, well, him. It's not his potential pysch problems making him a raging antisemite, among other things.

It's something that really needs more emphasis considering how badly the sentiment shits on everyone that has major psychological issues and aren't assholes. Which is most of them. Whatever it is might be making things worse, but at the end of the day it ain't the whatever that's causing him to act in the specific way he is.

There's not going to be a way to do it without making people angry about it, if for no other reason than that the fuckers who stand to become less excessively wealthy in the process will cheerfully spend a fraction of their wealth to astroturf opposition.

... that's especially true with screeching about gov't overreach, as a great deal of the folks loudest about that particular canard have made it abundantly clear what they mean is the gov't doing stuff they don't like, with no consistency about it otherwise. You're looking for a concrete solution to the problem of a significant portion of the population being thoroughly detached from reality or even a modicum of consistency in terms of ethics or policy preference, that avoids pissing them off. Frankly, that's just flat out impossible. There's no way to do it when their opposition is based on who is acting, not what's being done.
