Mouse Yelp Review:
Walls: 4/5
Climate Control: 3/5
Catering: 0/5
Overall: 2/5
... that might actually be a ... rather inhumane, but 'effective' form of pest control for mice.
I... did not know that anyone made fucking ghost pepper grade chocolate, but yeah, that would lure in and then potentiall kill, if not seriously injure or at least dissuade mice.
Its like sugar + borax for ants and such, sheesh.
You are correct that its not entirely a skin color thing, that all that stuff can and does hapoen to anyone, of any nationality/appearance...
But at the same time, you are way, way more likely to have a really fucking bad outcome the further your skin tone is away from eggshell off white.
I see stories of southern Italians / Siicillians getting held for weeks, Canadians of Hispanic heritage getting sent to some kind of internment camp... but, white/euro descent Canadians with some minor misdemeanors in the US 10 years ago getting basically just turned away at the border, then eventually they get some kind of visa/residence permit re enabled after some paperwork bs.
Skin color is absolutely a good general indicator of how bad your outcome is likely to be.
The ... particularly infuriating thing, to me at least, is... these Nazi ICE fucks can't tell the difference between an indigenous, native American, and a hispanic person, all they see is brown skin, and I am also seeing reports of people of that kind of descent being lumped into roundups and raids.
They've literally been here for thousands, tens, hundreds of thousands of years, but nope, America still hates the fuck out of the Sioux, Choctaw, Commanche, etc etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracentesis
Do you mean this?
Either way, TIL!
Though, if I am understanding this right, paracentesis typically is targetted at... some kind of fluid build up basically outside of the actual gastrointestinal tract, in the paracenteal cavity, the space between your abdominal muscles and organs...
... the procedure does seem to outwardly more resemble this cow fart valve in appearence, but it doesn't actually directly pierce, go into the intenstine directly.
I agree, it does make sense to tackle something like that as a young adult / post pubescence teen, a human body generally tends to handle surgery recovery of pretty much any kind when its closer to age 20 than age 40... but the, I guess you'd call them 'social' downsides are massive, kids are often brutal and cruel to other kids for really, really stupid reasons.
So its... kinda like a tracheotomy, but for your gut, so... gastrotomy?
Ah, 'gastrostomy'.
A medically necessary, emergency fart valve.
Amazing.
I hope you are being cheeky by saying 'beginning to', it was immensely obvious this was the plan going back to, at bare minimum, about a year before the election, when Trump just kept saying he was gonna serve 3 terms, his supporters wouldn't have to vote again, etc.
Do people need to (re)watch Fight Club?
Narrator:
A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside.
Now, should we initiate a recall?
Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X.
If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
It's been like 25 years.
Did people like... genuienly not know this, forget about it?
Respectable answer.
...but lets test your lack of discrimination.
Porque no los tres? Eh?
Hahaha...ha.
Hah.
...
Short answer: South Dakota.
Long answer:
Following a uh, calvacade of compounding catastrophes, several years ago now, I ended up homeless, roughed it for a good long while, got the shit kicked out of me in one way or another on roughly a biweekly basis, got held hostage by a fentanyl addict for a week once, barely escaped that alive, almost froze to death, almost died of heat stroke...
... eventually got SSDI to kick in, after continuously struggling to stop having all my ids and paperwork stolen from me...
...and I correctly deduced that Trump would win, and the big west coast city I used to live in would soon be cracking down hard on the homeless, as well as Oops! no more funding for homeless shelters that are already at max capacity...
So, when the SSDI kicked in, I got on a bus and headed as far as my those bus wheels and my broken body could carry me, which ended up being South Dakota.
Pretty fucking low CoL, and I am still just full time doing PT to recover from all my injuries, so... not like I'm missing much by not living somewhere else.
Immensely ironically, this shit ass roach motel, that was literally a roach motel and now just... does 6 month, year, month to month leases?
Only place I have ever lived in my entire life that just came with an AC unit.
My 'long term' plan is somewhere in Minnesota... by every study and composite map I can see, its basically the best combo of a decently blue state, with decent CoL, and lots of fresh water, and a pretty low expected increase in climate disasters.
In summary: God Bless America.
Huh, that seems like a fairly rare occurence that you'd have to get it at age 16, but I do know that absolutely does happen.
... and/or me being from the US and your registered instance being... a Denmark instance?
Ya'll probably have actual healthcare over there, lol, and maybe such procedures are somewhat more common?
Its a death cult.
Just, full stop, MAGA is a death cult, same as Jim Jones or Heaven's Gate.
Big death cult? Popular death cult, takes over the government?
Fascism.
For all the sociological, political, economic complexities and nuance...
It really does basically just boil down to those being pretty much the same thing, at different scales.
Good luck reasoning with or expecting reason from death cult members.
They are the zombie apocalpyse, fucking broken brains, really only fully functional at the limbic level, the rest of the brain is a confused mush of near infinite levels of reality denial, motivated reasoning, and cognitive dissonance.
