Bout everything we've seen so far has been showing he's not particularly addled, especially relative to trump's insanity. Biden's just still a pretty old politician with a stutter, so he occasionally flubs deliveries, on top of plenty of the remarkably shit outlooks that "old US politician" tends to entail.

Better than trump on more or less every level and especially in regards to consistency/coherence, but that's a bar you have to dig out of the ground to fail to clear.

So not a cure to nonsense in a general sense, but to trump's nonsense in particular, well. Rancid fuck's definitely been in the news a lot less lately, y'know? Hasn't been as noticeable since the failed coup and getting yeeted from twitter. GOP's still surgically attached to his asshole with all that entails, so obscurity unfortunately isn't the right word for things, but it's definitely been a bit quieter on that front.

... you making sure to drink plenty of fluids? Post sleep headaches often have a dehydration component to them, so if the sensation is the same that might be involved.

Uh, yeah. Like, I was there for more of the earlier bundles than the more recent ones, and direct download was originally basically ubiquitous, with steam (or otherwise) keys being a "maybe". Humble definitely didn't start out as primarily a steam key reseller.

Ain't no argument there, nope.

Those things do not correlate.

It's not the same as a kidney donation, or blood donation. Nobody is asking you to give up or cripple part of your body, or forcibly take something from you to save someone, somewhere, that you hold no responsibility for.

I mean, you can stop there, because necessary transfusions or organ replacements after an assault or wreck or sports injury or whatever qualifies for significant/total legal or ethical liability are a thing. There are very much cases where direct and unquestionable responsibility exists, but we still refuse, by and large absolutely, to even consider medical coercion to save a life. Not even to the extent of mandating some degree of goddamn caretaking, nevermind anything approaching as strenuous, damaging, or risky as a pregnancy.

It's just something you cannot escape from -- even in cases where a direct chain of responsibility exists, and there's no question about whether the one in need is human or not, just about every nation in the world refuses to consider coercion... except when it comes to women and pregnancy.

It can't be an issue of whether there's another human life involved, because even in cases where the burden and risk are much less (such as with simple blood donation or infusion or even simple temporary caretaking or somethin') and there's zero question on whether the needy are human or not, there's functionally just no argument medical coercion is acceptable. It's pretty much always and only with women and their bodies.

And, like, that's not even getting into organ donation, specifically mandatory donation in the case of the deceased. Folks are less willing to coerce a corpse than they are to coerce a woman, even when it would save the lives of people that are unquestionably human. Hell, not even for immediate relatives or actual living children, which would be an obvious extension to pregnancy if saving human lives were the actual concern.

Claiming it's an issue of something constituting human life just makes no damn sense given how we treat other situations. It's not how we interact with the issue of human life and medical ethics on any other issue I'm aware of, even where every prior or related concern is more or less the same.

I mean, don't forget the systemic sabotage of access in plenty of areas. It's not so much DGAF as it is being fucking stonewalled or having to take a vacation from work just to get to the goddamn office.

Don't be "that way" probably applies to the usual asshats screeching for ID in the US more than it does for the folks lacking one.

and ninja'd, but whatever, i've wrestled with autocorrupt long enough this shit's getting semi-immortalized now

Note that does nothing for the whole "show new replies to your posts" list, if that was what you were trying to curate. Far as I'm aware there's not much you can do for that particular mess besides not look at it
