  • Plan B rule

  • I can see it being a safety issue in this case. If a woman is in an abusive relationship, having the charge show up as "Door Dash" on their credit card statement could be a lot safer than a charge from a pharmacy.

    I've also used Door Dash to buy things for my friends who live several states away. Or using Door dash to get things when you're sick and don't want to leave the house and get other people sick is reasonable. There are quite a few non-lazy reasons for using Door Dash (but it is a certain amount of laziness most of the time).

  • Given that various articles are talking about soldiers "rationing" their food, I don't know that they are being fed adequately regardless of whether they're getting a variety or if they're stuck with the least-eaten MREs.

  • Even so, they don't deserve to starve. Food is a human right, and MAGA idiots are humans too.

  • Florida sex offender’s body found stuffed in a suitcase and now a teen has been charged with murder

    Jump

  • I was curious about this too, but the crime in question was committed in 2017 against someone Daniel knew from school, so I don't think it was the murderer. There's no excusing what he did, but he wasn't given a death sentence for it.

  • DIY rules

    Jump

  • It's really hard to pin down because of inconsistencies between manufacturers. I've had patients that got pellets and had no effects whatsoever, and some that got way too much because it dissolved too quickly. It also kind of matters who is implanting them and if they know what they're doing. (Pro tip, chiropractors and naturopaths do not know what the fuck they are doing.)

  • DIY rules

    Jump

  • The problem with pellets is that they can release the hormones at uneven rates as they dissolve because they aren't perfectly homogeneous. There's also a chance that your body rejects it and forms a fibrous capsule around it that prevents it from releasing the hormones at all.

  • Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar attacked with 'unknown liquid' during town hall

    Jump

  • That was after she charged at the guy with the intent to punch him. Dude was tackled by security for his own safety.

  • Kristi Noem Claims ICE Agent Fired ‘Defensive Shots’ — Accuses Gov. Walz and and Mayor Frey of Deciding to ‘Choose Violence’ in Stunning Presser

    Jump

  • Might as well go the rest of the way and do it like the "Shame" scene in Game of Thrones. They wouldn't make it one block before the frostbite does its job.

  • Minneapolis General Strike against ICE, in -10°F no less

    Jump

  • They were brutalizing the protesters at the Whipple federal building and the airport where they arrested 100 clergy that were blocking the entrance and singing hymns.

  • Study on masks vs N95 respirators for health workers spurs concerns

  • *But the study was really poorly designed and every single CI crossed 1.0

  • Federal prosecutors in Minnesota resign as officials look to target the shooting victim's widow

    Jump

  • I am thoroughly ashamed of my country and I have been doing what I can to help those around me. I have no control over what the federal government does and I don't really have much influence to wield. In a few months, I'll be a physician and I can use that title and the power and privilege that comes with it to speak louder, but right now, as a student in the middle of the Twin Cities, there's not much I can do.

  • Federal prosecutors in Minnesota resign as officials look to target the shooting victim's widow

    Jump

  • Minnesota is where the ICE crackdown is going on, so I made the assumption that you were talking about us. And yes, the Minnesota voter turnout averages about 70%.

    We have fought for the progressive policies and programs that have made our state a target of the regime, so getting lumped in with the states that did vote for this is insulting.

  • That is indeed the gun going off. It looks like there's a flash suppressor on there, but higher-resolution versions of the clip show the gas blow back from the bullet firing.

  • Ice on ice rules

    Jump

  • No, that was a negligent discharge. They are actually walking around with their fingers on the trigger and the safety off.

  • Some St. Paul-area restaurants closing, limiting hours over ICE presence

    Jump

  • Well, I'll just take this as an excuse to get food from some of my favorite places in St Paul.

  • Federal prosecutors in Minnesota resign as officials look to target the shooting victim's widow

    Jump

  • Minnesota hasn't voted for a republican presidential candidate in over 50 years and we were the only state that didn't vote for Reagan in 1984, so you can fuck all the way off with accusations of Minnesotans not voting. (We also consistently rank in the top 5 states for voter turnout, so you're wrong on all counts on this one.)

  • Satire rule

    Jump

  • Yeah, I have him on Patreon, but I want to see the whole thing when it's done. He had a couple side videos on Patreon about Oreos that nearly amounted to a cookie crash out that were very amusing last year.

  • Satire rule

    Jump

  • Look, the man is making feature-length films about rabbit holes he never expected to find. The "Roblox OOF!" video was supposed to be about 10-20 minutes, but then he found the Tommy Tallarico absurdity and just couldn't leave that part out.

  • IRL? H. Bomberguy

    In fiction? Deadpool.

    Honestly, a lot of bisexual and pansexual men and masculine characters are pretty well adjusted in part due to the fact that they are comfortable with who they are as a person and know what kinds of things make men attractive. Way too many men these days have a completely warped idea of what other people find attractive in men and toxic masculinity is built on a framework of those misconceptions.

    I wrote an essay (with sources! and data!) about what cutting Medicaid actually means because people don't have good perspective on it.
