Germany woke af by having a gender-neutral pronoun already

What’s weird about this broader “conversation” on masculinity is I feel more masculine than ever

Same. The more I read stupid quotes from the Tates and Musk's of the world, the more I feel like I'm doing something right with how I'm living my life, raising my kiddo, and engaging with my community.

Between that and a wider understanding/acceptance of neurodivergence, I'm feeling pretty comfortable in my own skin for the first time in a long time. And I'm ready to fight for women, minorities, and the LGBTQ+ communities to feel the same way.

I've been waiting for him to get more attention. Surprised a bigger CFB program hasn't tried to scoop him up already. Could really see him turning into a great NFL hire.

...which of course means the Bears won't be hiring him.

. Right you are. I don't have a Facebook account or have the app installed on my phone, yet they are attempting to track data from my camera system app.

Highly recommend DuckDuckGo browser or RethinkDNS for everyone reading this (if you are on Android).

Edit: Also PiHole, though it is a bit more complicated to set up.

Real human senator Ted Cruz, is that you? Is Friv also part of your national program to document skull sizes?

Wasn't a very good use of $150 mil, considering I have never heard of this company.

Were they new for 2025 and I missed some drama?

Agreed. Only thing keeping me from doing it daily (in good weather at least) is that I don't have a garage, so my bike is always difficult to get out of the shed and around the back of the house.

Good news! Currently building a garage. Just need to get a seat to take the kid to daycare, and it will become the preferred daily driver.

I've made an effort since I've lived on my own to live somewhere with good walkablity / public transit availability for my personal time, often at the expense of my commute to work. I'm now at a happy balance having settled in a medium-sized town with great walk- and bikeability, and I have my shortest commute ever of 9 miles. Unfortunately there isn't a public transit option that I can take to get to work, but it is bikeable.

Part of my house is an old house...I've just learned to accept that things that should be straight or square are crooked 🤣

I've noticed a drop in efficacy when I have a period of time where I'm anemic. I'm basically having to take iron supplements non-stop for that reason...

Nice to hear from someone else with a similar experience, and I hope that improving the anemia leads to an improvement in ADHD symptoms too!

My theory is related to your #1, but I'm guessing that the military is testing the detection capability of their systems. It would explain why the sightings have been all over the place. They are basically sending them out to fly in various different patterns from different approach vectors ("coming in from the ocean") to ensure that the radar and likely more sophisticated drone-specific hardware can detect them. It would also account for why there have been such a variety of reports of different sizes and characteristics of the drones (the credible ones, not the people filming airplanes).

I think the success of drones in the Ukraine conflict has accelerated the concerns of the military and DHS, and they felt the need to accelerate the install/upgrade/test of their defenses.

My wife and I have a long running joke about nipple butter, where we suggest uncommon and comedic uses for it with extreme exuberance. Your post made me chuckle and I immediately sent it to her!

Then I read the rest of the comments and got sad...
