We need an IRL batman. Or some Boondock Saints.

I don’t think I’m capable of articulating just how fucked up it is that that level of nuance is even possible, let alone backed up with recent examples.

Surgical tech here!

We do these (breast reduction surgeries on men) every now and then. Not super often… I’ve been in maybe 10 of them? Of the ones I’ve been in, one was a dude with breast cancer - chopped out the cancer, then chopped down the other moob so they’d heal to be the same size. All of the other ones were gym rats who took steroids and grew some boobs. None were overweight.

I’ve only been in a handful, so grain of salt, but in my experience weight is NOT a factor.

…and this seems like a good time for a plug: Men can 100% get breast cancer. Not often, but possible. If any of you fellas feel a weird lump in your moobs, DO NOT hesitate to get it checked out!!

Yeah, by Yahoo… fuckin assholes.

I was wondering which restaurants this guy was able to eat his wife out at.

Waffle House, ofc.

Just realized this is the perfect time of year to stock up on some fireworks. That level of evil leaving the government (formally or influentially) absolutely merits celebration!

…there are a few of those fucking cockroaches whose passing would justify lighting up a few celebratory 'splosions.

IT WAS SO GOOD! It was better in like 2010 than shit like discord is today.

Would be an incredible product today if it continued to receive development (w/o enshitification ofc).

It’ll almost be like having xFire again!

…I miss that software. IIRC they were bullshit-litigated out of existence.

Does that count as introspection?

I don’t recall ever seeing Bobo and mtg both at the same time… pretty sure they’re just one Nazi who occasionally dons a wig and glasses.

Fox addiction.

Ate out with the wife tonight, and got an unexpected political back-to-back: the restaurant had CNN playing on one end of my field of view, and Fox on the other.

CNN reported on all kinds of shit. Every time I looked up, different topic. They went back to the upcoming debate and the Gaza genocide a couple times, but otherwise just an even spread of unfolding events.

Fox spent most of the time talking about how left wing media will spin the debate to make Trump look like an extremist; and then a few small snips about how illegal immigrants are terrorizing our society and getting our youth hooked on fentanyl. They even managed to bitch about Hillary lol, although I missed the context… assuming they’re still rambling about emails.

People who watch Fox must be terrified and angry like all the time lol.

Absolutely, but it’s a lot better than whatever the hell we’re doing now. And it can happen fast - biggest holdup would be the sudden change in supply/staffing demands at relatively few facilities, but the VA can limp along while doing its best until those needs are met.

This is speaking as a veteran who receives care at the VA - if there’s one thing they can do well, it’s juggling a clusterfuck while still somehow remaining operational.

Well… there is a federal path to handling state level health care crises.

Two magical ingredients.

First is to actually declare a state of emergency in the Y’all Qaeda infested regions of the US on the basis of denied healthcare leading to the current and worsening humanitarian crisis in those areas; and in doing so, enabling the VA to provide abortion services to non-veterans under section §1784 of title 38, United States Code.

Second is federal enclave, which pretty much states that on federal facilities, state law can eat a bag of dicks.

This dystopian GOP shit is maddening. We need to stop trying to argue with it, and start finding ways to just work around it. Fuck em.

…mistook?

People like Elon are part of why I refuse to bring anyone into this dumpster fire of a planet.

I wouldn’t complain about this becoming an annual tradition.

I used to live in an apartment that also explicitly disallowed window units. The apartment did have a fireplace though, and I figured hot air rises, so we just shoved a window unit in there and let the hot air vent out the chimney.

It did the trick, and we never agreed not to install a fireplace unit.

It works in the US, too. I’ve gotten great care at the VA (no, seriously… they have a bad reputation, and the infrastructure is ghetto as fuck, but the actual quality of care is great).

There’s also the USPHS, but honestly I’ve never actually met someone who joined or seen one of their facilities… I think they mostly do humanitarian stuff overseas?

Point being, we have the framework for it already. I could see the VA expanding it’s mission/coverage to spouses/families of vets, and use that as the baby step into coverage for everyone. Fun bonus: state law can suck a dick on federal facilities, so all the rednecks can write as much misogynistic legislation as they want locally, but Susie’s rights suddenly return the second she steps into federal property, even if it’s a hospital in the middle of Y’all Quaeda territory.

I’m not really worried about Trump specifically so much as the movement he’s unleashed. Cult 45 is going to lose their fucking minds when he finally dies… he could literally choke to death on Putin’s dick on live TV and it’d still be pitched as some kind of deep state hit job that merits retaliation. This shit doesn’t end with Trump.
