i can’t make sense of this comment in this context, which is to say a Native man sharing the story of his arrest, and your statement which suggests he deserved it?
the leopards comments are moving from unhelpful to actively harmful, from my point of view. you’re participating in the further dehumanization of one of the most historically oppressed peoples in this country.

important consideration, but also sauce. this sauce? troubles me.
btw, i’m not even sure she was trying to block anyone. in one video, you can see she waves and says “go around!” i think she was just trying to go the other way.
edit - i don’t know that that is what happened, just that there’s now footage from the agent’s phone. can’t really use audio at work.
still saw NOTHING justifying murder.
outdated information. elevated risks are taken into consideration in tailoring specific therapy, but it’s looking like mht is a lot safer / more beneficial than previously thought.
i would add, there are more benefits to mht than preventing osteoporosis, namely - heart health, preventing dementia, and generally improving quality of life.
your enthusiasm in this thread is apparent, and it’s great that many women are benefitting from weight training.
BUT i just really want to point out that access to this kind of stuff is a privilege not available to everyone who might benefit.
the existence of treatments doesn’t mean they are readily available to people who need them.

i’m reading it more like seeking more of the same, even when the relationship he thought he wanted actually materialized
i would add the following wisdom as well -
Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. C.S. Lewis
this is my impression as well regarding nicotine. however, i have noticed people are not interested in examining that and continue to conflate nicotine with cigarettes (high risk) and vaping (misconstrued risk).
i also believe many view a nicotine addiction through a sort of moral lens they don’t apply so readily to caffeine.
i understand that. it just seemed a little tone deaf as a response to the video.
