When people with a communication disability use a word differently than I might, I have been trying lately to understand what they're attempting to communicate. I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about what trauma is, but even if you didn't, it might be a good practice.

Anyway, I get why the word use is upsetting, because it can feel like rape and social ostracization are being treated identically when the same word (traumatic) is used for both. But trauma, as I understand it, is more like a broken bone - it's a bad result from an event or events. Me and grandma both fell down the stairs and she fell one step and I fell two flights, and we both broke something - the broken bone is still real, even when the fall was smaller. I fuck up my wrist in a car accident, and someone else fucks it up doing the same small action repetitively for years. Wrist's still fucked.

If you think of it that way, there never was a comparison to dislike in the first place. Trauma is the injury, not the cause. Everything and nothing is traumatic, but some things are almost universally likely to cause injury, and some things aren't.

Feels like they're still figuring out how they want to do this, themselves. Every now and then i've been visiting the art themed pixelfed to follow people with mbin, and the explore page is sometimes there and sometimes not.

Looking forward to it further down the road in development. I do wonder why these dollhouse sims are so rare, since they're so popular.

A New Jersey police chief has come under fire after colleagues accused him of defecating on the station floor, attempting to drug co-workers by putting Viagra and Adderall in their coffee, and sticking a hypodermic needle into an officer’s penis, according to a report.

And shitting on the floor's just the start of it! If this was a sudden behavior change, dude needs to get looked at, but he should not get to have his position while he does so.

edit: misspelled shitting

In her court motion demanding immediate access to her client, Khanbabai said Ozturk had been held without access to her medications, one of which was for asthma attacks, CNN affiliate WCVB reported.

I hope she lives and they aren't murdering her with medical neglect

I guess it depends if they get subscribers, but locking this article just seems foolish in this case. People will just go elsewhere to read it.

tried to come up with a coherent comment and all i dug up was "....roumd........" sorry your cat made me lose my mind.

Even if you only care about the economy, it's so stupid. All that money won't circulate because people can't spend what they don't have. so businesses get less, they have to let people go, and now they can't spend. giving money to poor people is great for the economy, because it instantly recirculates and doesn't sit in an account. it's not even 'giving,' in this case, either. people pay into it for a purpose.

But they don't care about the economy, and of course they don't care about the human cost. They care about 'fraud,' as in, how to commit it and enrich themselves through theft of the money people pay for services.

i saw becca balint mentioned in an article as a successor, but it'd be interesting if someone more aware of Vermont politics shared what they know.

Elon probably seems remarkably egalitarian compared to him, even now.

Speaking about the mine, Errol told Musk biographer Walter Isaacson: “If you registered it, you would wind up with nothing, because the Blacks would take everything from you.”

Hmm...exactly the guy to prove someone isn't racist.
