Title: The men said...
Text:I dyed my hair red and the men said, "Why would you do that? I prefer women with brown hair."
I dyed my hair brown and the men said, "Why would you do that? I love a woman with red hair."
I wore glasses instead of contacts and the men said, "You should wear contacts more often, I prefer to see your eyes."
I wore contacts instead of glasses and the men said, "You should wear your glasses more often, women with glasses are sexy."
I wore my hair up and the men said, "I prefer women wear their hair down."
I cut my hair to my shoulders and the men actually said, "I prefer women to have long hair passed their nipples."
I dyed my hair fun colours and the men said, "I prefer women with natural hair colours."
I cut my hair up to my chin and the men said, "Long hair is better on women. Better for grabbing."
The men shared their opinion about my appearance and I said, "I don't fucking care."
Edit: Thank you everyone for your supporting comments and also sharing your own stories. A year or so ago, after coming out to myself and my husband as genderqueer, I cut my hair short. I video called my parents to show them. My mom loved it, she always loves what I do with my hair no matter how

Title: Why can’t Covid just get milder please….!
Text:I’m pretty sure everyone in this sub wants all of this to be over. Being cautious all the time can’t make you enjoy life to the fullest because you always have to be protecting yourself and others from covid and other viruses. It’s really stressful and you can’t really enjoy hangouts or events like you use to. Not to mention that dating also becomes more difficult because people let their guard down and don’t care about others. We have people who think Covid isn’t real or that long covid or immune compromised people don’t exist. Covid has made me realize how dirty and careless people are about others’ health. The majority of the world has been infected with covid more than once so why can’t it just get milder???? I know that viruses don’t disappear and continue to mutate to live, which I’m pretty sure is the reason it doesn’t get milder. I’m a (19m) and I have a mother (F47) and an older sister (F21) who have long covid and are immune compromised. Wearing a mask and hand sanitizing doesn’t really bother me but it bothers me that everytime I go out I’m always afraid that I might have caught covid or another illness. I’ve become very paranoid and always get scared if my throat feels

Title: Yet another brilliant thought from r/nihilism
Text:„As others said, nihilism is not about your feelings, it's about the grand scheme of things. Napoleon losing his war, Caesar winning his, Hitler killing the Jews, Stalin starving the Ukrainians, as well as you marrying the love of your life, having children or not, having them die in a car crash or not. Everything will be forgotten sooner rather than later, it'll be like none of it ever happened, clean slate, there will be nobody to care or remember and this is a fact. Philosophy is about trying to extract some meaning out of life despite the inherent nihilism of it“
Bro is talking about Caesar being forgotten sooner rather than later. Bro thinks children dying in a car crash isn't that bad because people might forget about it someday.
It's getting more and more schizophrenic by the day over there …

Title: Infection Control not understanding how it works.
Text:I work at a hospital and we got a phone call today from Infection Control that they are "recommending" the department wear masks due to a number of employees in the department getting sick with covid. It took a lot to hold back my sarcastic comments. I so wanted to say "Ya know Infection Control works a lot better if you do it before you get sick".

Title: True kindness is a rarity
Text:Had to say that True kindness is a rarity
Was thinking earlier, wanted to in the future contribute 90-100% of income leftover after basic expenses to some charity that helps underprivilege kids
Been trying to find out what was worthwhile to do, in life, for the longest time. Sometimes when you eventually discover the important things, it's not always, and likely not often, at the right time
Or to put that money into some good or effective ways instead of some people in nonprofits, and others, mishandling the money
What's interesting is that don't feel like there's much support for that. When it comes to other people in this world. And when anything done would be short-lived and ruined anyway
Not so sure if human beings and this so humane.. humanity would reach these ideals in however many centuries...., all of which have said in the longer past
I guess some people can still hope, those much fewer people are quite something so rarely remarkable in humans
This world is so wrong in so many ways, and the ways they do so many things. Not everything. There's a few, very few, good people in this world
Some people in this world wonder why other people out there don't try anymor

Title: I wish more people in my field were COVID conscious
Text:I'm a healthcare worker in radiology, studying for x-ray school. I enjoy the work and field, but it's hard for me to connect with anyone because almost everyone isn't COVID conscious.
I've built so much resentment towards most people. Nobody cares like they should. Even when I bring up that masking also protects OTHERS, and I do it to also protect high risk people like CANCER PATIENTS, they just shrug and move on. Do people's lives really hold so little value?
I struggle to network, ask for help getting into programs, and even just make friends doing what I do. I had a friend at work who used to mask, and I lost all desire to hang out with them ever since they dropped masking because they "forgot it and liked how it felt to go without." I connected with a classmate who's also studying for x-ray school, but once I saw they didn't mask either, I stopped making the effort. I don't want to keep educating or fighting, so I tend to just lose interest if they're not cautious or stop caring.
Now I'm trying to build a subreddit of my own for COVID cautious radiology techs like how I want to be. I want to actually feel comfortable when I talk to people and build a community like this one,

Title: Donald Trump Officially Confirms Himself As His VP Pick Ahead Of Republican National Convention
Text:Republican Party Presidential nominee and convicted felon Donald J. Trump, ahead of the Republican National Convention, announced his official selection for his Vice Presidential running mate: Donald J. Trump. This unprecedented move has garnered a lot of attention from the media, and sparked innumerable questions, especially from the Republican Party itself.
In a recent interview conducted by himself at 1 a.m. in a back-and-forth exchange on Truth Social, Trump provided answers to many of the questions raised by his move.
“You had so many good contenders, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, Greg Abbott, Kristi Noem, Doug Burgum. Why didn’t you pick one of them?”
“Marco Rubio, let’s just say Cuba isn’t sending their best and brightest.
Greg Abbott, that guy has got the stuff, he is a great contender, but standing next to him, it just wouldn’t be a good look for me, not a good look.
Tim Scott? I mean come on, he’s black and I have more felonies than he does! America wouldn’t buy it.
Now Kristi Noem, I heard that story of her killing her puppy and, frankly, I was disgusted. ONE puppy? Windmills kill more puppies than that. I’d be better off with a windmill as my running mate. Pass.

Title: so many sick folks from a certain festival that just happened … pondering about the future of it all
Text:i don’t know why (well, it’s probably bc im active in subs such as this one lol), but i keep getting recommended posts from the sub of a certain festival that just happened (don’t want people brigading it so am not saying the name here, but most of you probably know which one). mostly seeing posts about folks “getting sick w something weird,” “stomach bugs,” or “food poisoning.”
i was somewhat thankful that there was one post that i came across where one of the top comments was about how someone wore a mask while attending and hadn’t felt sick at all! personally, i still wish covid-cautious folks wouldn’t attend large gatherings/superspreaders like this, even while wearing a mask, bc it still centers capitalism and its interests, but i digress.
these types of posts and comments are just so far away from the reality that everyone in this sub experiences on a daily basis though. seeing how far removed most of the general public is from the reality of the multiple crises we’re facing at this point in time is just mind boggling sometimes. i can sit w it on a logical level and understand the mechanisms of it all, but it is still incredibly disappointing, heartbreaking, enraging, etc.

Title: Shaved my head, feeling more at home in myself
Text:Hello lovelies! I am a fledgling witch. Recently ive been struggling with dysphoria surrounding my face and hair, and I made one of the best decisions so far. I shaved my head. More, my friend did. Im transmasc nonbinary (they/them) and my hair was growing out too much. It's almost like I was guided to this decision or the idea was given to me. I feel freer.
Thanks for reading and blessed be!

Title: Vaccinated does not mean safe!
Text:I’m so tired of people claiming that it’s perfectly safe for us to be together unmasked because we’ve both been vaccinated. Why do so few people understand the BASIC FACT that they can get Covid after being vaccinated … and then infect me (even if you are asymptomatic)? Is this just a lack of public education on an epic scale? Or do people just tune out that information so they can remain in denial? How can we account for what seems like such willful ignorance? I just can’t wrap my mind around this cognitive dissonance.

Title: It’s All Staged
Text:From the months and months if not years and years of being told that Biden is strong and able to run the country to the fumbling through a hard to watch debate to being back on his game at a rally the next day.
From the media backing Biden as “with it” and “sharp” to the absolute attack on his ability to mentally function.
And now this cover of TIME.
This was all a plan. The left isn’t stupid. They’re smart, cunning, and calculated.
Now the bigger question here is:
Did the right know about this/have involvement? Is it two wings of the same bird?
Or did they really not see this coming.
And a secondary question:
Is it too late? Is too much of the American public too blind to see what’s going on or simply just not care?
What do we do?

Title: Dildo swallowing
Text:If anybody was interested, sorry i deleted my other account. Still swallowing that 13” dildo on a string lol. Just got a 18” that’s MUCH gurthier. After over 2 hours of stretching my esophagus out last night i was able to take it all in and swallow it past my neck and into my chest but not sure it went much further (it’s massive) couldn’t keep it down long at all, little discomfort and pain but I’m sure if i keep training with it things will stretch out even more and easily. Will try to get pics and video soon!

Title: Is anyone else besides me frustrated that so many people seem to think COVID can't spread outside?
Text:Not only did the CDC have a tiny disclaimer on their website (which has since disappeared, to my knowledge) saying COVID can spread outside when they were telling people who were vaccinated that they didn't need to mask outdoors, but I personally know people who have caught it outside.
And at least one of those people did not catch it in a crowded space.
Is anyone else besides me frustrated with this narrative?
*Editing to add: It seems like a lot of people think I'm trying to tell them what to do in outdoor situations. I'm not. I'm just really frustrated by how many times I see people talking about their precautions and essentially saying, "it's outdoors, so it's okay." To me, that is spreading the narrative that COVID can't spread outdoors.*

Title: I don’t feel connected to my friends who don’t mask
Text:This is more of a vent than seeking advice post. This feeling started brewing in 2023 but it’s so much harder to ignore now. I don’t feel connected at all to my friends who don’t take covid precautions (the ones who are aware covid is dangerous, have gotten seriously sick from it before, and have the resources to afford masks).
Lately I find myself not even wanting to share my life with them anymore. How do I pretend to sound excited when they tell me about a concert they’re going to next month? Why do I feel nervous posting stuff about covid on my ig stories?
It feels like there’s this huge brick wall between us. There’s a limit to how much we can see each other.
I have found some great people online recently and in my neighborhood in NYC who I feel 100x safer talking to about covid than anyone else I’ve know for years or even decades.
I’m trying not to feel so black and white about this, but honestly lately I don’t even have the desire to put energy into these friendships anymore if they can’t care to wear a mask. Our fundamental values are different.
I’m tired of making excuses for them. I don’t hate them, I still have love for them, but I don’t feel a desire to know

Title: Just another ridiculous reaction
Text:I am very VERY lucky that I managed to get a prescription for Paxlovid since I'm traveling, without a positive test. Obviously went to the pharmacy in an N95.
The pharmacist saw my prescription, and immediately went to the back to grab a surgical mask and gloves before serving me. Not that I mind that, but her co-pharmacist (thankfully not serving me) was coughing 2 feet from her.
She sorts out some insurance issues, and tells me to come back in 15 mins. I do, at which point the pharmacist puts her surgical back on and hands me my meds. Co-pharmacist is still coughing away.
Surreal.

any advice or kind words would be appreciated <3

Title: Outside does not mean safe
Text:Just got reinfected at an outdoor festival. Although I know that going to a festival would be considered too high risk for some, there are a lot of us who'd be comfortable if they wore a respirator, used eye protection and CPC mouthwash. Unfortunately, these weren't enough for me! A reminder that one way masking, even outdoors, can be risky. And that we should all be pushing for better awareness.
As an aside, I had the novavax vaccine a month ago and managed to buy Paxlovid and metformin ahead of time so I'm hopeful this infection won't be as severe as the last one which left me with LC. But hope is all I have, stay safe everyone!
EDIT TO ADD: Thanks for the comments - still a bit of brain fog so finding it hard to keep up individually so to those who asked:
- where did I eat and sleep - slept alone in a tent, ate alone outisde and a few feet from others - not in a crowd
- mask type - https://www.savewo.com/healthcare/en/products/3dmask-ultra. did a "poor man's fit test" - https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/poor-mans-fit-test/
EDIT 2: How did I get paxlovid and metformin ahead of time?
- bought them from India as very rarely prescribed in the UK. I think those in the US may hav

Title: Shamed by my eye doctor
Text:So, today I had a a second appointment with an ophthalmologist for my dry eyes. The first thing she said to me was: "Are you still wearing a mask?". I replied that I am still immunocompromised and am still wearing it to ward off covid as well as other infectious disease since I am more vulnerable. She asked me if that was on the recommnedation of my primary care provider, to which I answered "No, but the FHI (the norwegian CDC equivalent) recommends patients like me to wear them". She then told me she would not be able to do the exam if I did not take off the mask. Since I have waited for the second appointment for a long time I shamefully obliged. She was the only one in the room and seemed healthy but I am extremely worried that she might have given me something. I will be testing and isolating in the coming days to make sure I am not infected. She then did the eye exam and basically said that: "Your eyes are still dry and this needs to be treated with more eye drops. However, this is probably caused by that mask of yours. You are drying your eyes out by wearing it".
Now, I will concede that masks I wore previously (months back) had some leaks that redirected air into mye face.

Title: “During the pandemic” corrector bot?
Text:Is anyone here technically savvy enough to create one of those Reddit-wide bots that would correct people and remind them that the pandemic isn’t over when they refer to it in the past tense? Was just reading other comments about what a problem this is and that brilliant Scientific American piece about having hit peak denial (see [here](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/weve-hit-peak-denial-heres-why-we-cant-turn-away-from-reality/)) and feel like it would be a simple way to combat some disinformation and denial!

Title: Anyone else just... still not comfortable being out, even with PPE?
Text:My strategy has always been avoiding potential exposure at all costs and wearing a respirator if it's unavoidable. I basically leave the house for outdoor walks, medical needs that must be done in-person ... and that's it.
I can pass QLFT easily with multiple disposables and elastomerics. It's not a matter of appearance, I really don't care. It's not a matter of cost (especially with elastomerics), I can afford it.
It's a matter of the what-ifs.
*What if I screwed up the fit test?*
*What if I forgot something with the seal check?*
*What if my infectious dose is so low that my N95 can't hold it at bay?*
*What if some jerk deliberately coughs at me?* (not unlikely to happen in this area)
How you get past the fact that entire world is trying to give you a deadly, crippling disease and a single mistake, imperfection, or misunderstanding could ruin your life?

Title: Riddled with perps who gangstalk me as a means to use me as a money mule. Will I ever receive tangible access to my fortune?
Text:I've been a TI for more then 10 years now. And it's been an exhausting yet mind opening experience. I'm gangstalked as gangs use me as a money mule; and have done so for many years. They keep claiming I have health problems I don't have and use this as an excuse to drug me with OTC medications and prescriptions I don't want, and most importantly don't even need! I am perfectly healthy 31 year old man. However my perps don't want this truth to be exposed as they will not be able to access my fortune. They claim they need the money and I need to be put under COMPLETE control. Well go figure, they get to spend millions of my money and keep me under complete control so they never go to prison for their crimes. Of course they're going to claim they need the money. The reality is, I do too! I deserve to enjoy it! They will even play mind games with me and force me to try to find employment even tho I already manage very profitable businesses with my AI system and BCI. It's just that all of the money I earn is in a trust fund / savings account that it seems near impossible for me to tangibly access and enjoy. My perps want to enjoy it tho!
They state these claims that I need to be under

Title: I danced naked on the beach while the sun was setting and it woke up the wild inside
Text:So we have this naked beach that I've always felt weird going to. Not sure what got into me yesterday, but I think I just lost the last fuck from my pocket.
I drove to the beach on my moped, got naked and listened to Outcast in my headphones. As the sun went down, I just started to dance and wet my feet and bounce my boobs and feel the sun on my skin. MY GOD. It was EVERYTHING. Like that moment I realized that nature has given us everything to feel good and free. I really havent felt this alive in very long time.
This morning I woke up planning to buy a van and save money to build/buy a houseboat. I was not born to stress if some dingleberry is going to raise my rent and manager will be manipulative asshole because he havent felt alive for very long time. Or to be stuck indoors for 40hours week, like who came up with this shit?
I just want to exist, feel free, create art, collect lizzards and dance naked by the water. It's funny how growing up these people seem "eccentric", but those are really the people who didnt want to give up on living.

Title: A scaly snack
Text:Just to be clear, the lizard mentioned in this post is made of TPR and is not an actual lizard.
I spotted a little red rubber lizard near the hoard. I had intended to snap him up and swallow him down to protect the hoard since my belly was empty of any treasure, but I lay down for a moment and sleep took me over and he escaped his gurgling fate.
The next morning I spotted the rubber lizard again and this time he was lying on top of the hoard. I wanted to protect the treasure so quickly caught him and gulped him down, he went down surprisingly easily and soon he had a front row seat to draconic digestion.
I could feel my stomach working him over every now and then trying to digest him, he shouldn’t have gotten near the hoard if he didn’t want to get eaten.
The next day the lizard wanted out whether I wanted it or not. It felt odd coming out but not unpleasant, it also made it out completely clean somehow. One trip through me obviously didn’t teach it enough of a lesson about staying away from the hoard.
Of course any advice, guidance, reassurances, warnings, suggestions, or questions are more than welcome.

Title: My friend is so damn stupid

Okay, this is something that may sound weird or it may make me sound like an asshole who doesn't validates her own friend's pain, but I'm so tired of this, so, I'm homeschooled and the only way I can meet people of my age is by being neighbors or something, so this girl, let's call her "mayo", used to be my neighbor, we got REALLY close and I love her so much cause she's sweet and stuff, but she's a normal girl, like, without traumatic events on her life, white, with everything anyone would want, also the fact she's 13, so, she has been always been acknowledged for me and all her social group as a hell of an attention seeker, before she met me, she was a catholic, hetero, cisgender white girl, but (I know it's lowkey my fault for showing her that kind of stuff, but we were like 11) when I met her I showed her that there was more in life, she used to act so homophobic so I showed her lgbtq people exist and everything, so since that day she haven't stopped being such a pain in the ass, like, she always gotta be saying she's pansexual and a trans guy, like, EVERYTIME, and I'm not transphobic or smlt, but like,shed talks about it all the time as if it was so

Title: Was Michael Jackson really a pedo or was it all a setup?
Text:Short story and a question....
I met Michael once when I worked at HMV on Oxford Street, London in the early 2000's.
He was, without a doubt, the most polite and conscientious "celebrity" I've evet met. In fact, he was probably one of the most polite and conscientious people I've ever met fullstop. I wouldn't say he was "down to earth" as he lived on his own planet, but he was definitely a people person. He went around shaking the hands of all staff members and spent a few minutes talking to everyone. And I mean everyone.
I can't remember if he was there to promote something or whether he was just on a shopping spree, but we closed the store for a few hours and let him go around and take what he liked.
He was like a kid in a toy shop. "Oooh I love this movie! Oooh I love this album!" as he went around the store with the biggest smile on his face passing things to his assistants.
Anyway, after a few hours when it was time to leave, we were given a brief by his security. A large crowd had gathered outside the front doors and we were to help hold the crowd back while his security team bundled him into a waiting car.
So we flung open the doors to the cries of "MICHAAELL" from h

Title: Parent wont speak to me since I started masking in the house
Text:I currently live at home with both parents. I am working to save up and move.
Both of my parents deny that covid is an issue and refuse to take precautions. I have given up on asking them to.
I no longer eat or drink in common areas and am always masked unless I’m in my room.
My relationship with my parents has never been great because of unresolved intergenerational trauma. However, me masking has definitely made it worse. Since I started, my dad completely ignores me when I try to talk to him. He is constantly slamming everything he can slam- doors, cabinets, drawers. I’ve stopped responding to him because he refuses to speak in a normal voice, he only yells angrily.
Even opening the windows for ventilation will send him into a fit of rage.
He is a poor communicator, so he hasn’t said anything about the mask but it’s obvious that that’s what this is about. His rage is palpable whenever he is in the house. He’s always stomping around. It really is a nightmare to live with. The only thing I can do is continue saving but it’s hard. I barely make any money and I have chronic pain. I just need words of support.

Title: Self-harming seems so dramatic in most of what it’s portrayed in, but a lot of times for me it’s not all that dramatic
Text:Whenever I picture self-harm or whenever I’ve seen it portrayed in movies or tv shows or whatever, I always see it as someone screaming and crying while they’re self-harming, a very dramatic thing. It’s almost never that way for me. A lot of times I’m not crying or I just stopped crying when I’m doing it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it can be very dramatic sometimes for other people, but I’m usually not screaming or crying or anything, I guess just focusing on the pain and the blood or whatever

Title: Introducing: Antilugeism
Text:Antilugeism (from anti- prefix, "against" and Latin lugeo, "I mourn") is a philosophical belief that mourning people's death is immoral. This does not only mean that you shouldn't mourn over people's death but also, you shouldn't make people mourn over your death. Therefore, antilugeism believes that making friends, and especially becoming famous is immoral because it increases the number of people who will mourn your death.
Note: I'm not saying that you should be a bad person so nobody will mourn your death because why reducing mourning by making another one? :)

Title: in a large ontario hospital where cases are high, i didn’t see a single mask worn by staff
Text:i didnt see any kn95s or n95s. only a few elderly patients wearing surgicals. it’s so disheartening to see. i can’t believe how uninformed and careless nurses and doctors are being, they should be the ones to know and care. people think doctors and nurses know the best and we should be following their lead, but they are humans that are as flawed and as susceptible to propaganda as we are.
it really bothers me that it seems like no one is able to think for themselves to make their own informed decisions about protecting themselves and others. we’ve been conditioned to prioritize individualism but it doesn’t take away people’s responsibility to look after their fellow humans. incredibly disappointing

Title: Curious how many people here would consider themselves a "functional user"
Text:By "functional user" I mean you're able to maintain relationships and jobs, you're able to keep it secret, and it doesn't negatively impact your life
I consider myself a functional meth addict, I carry on 3 jobs and all my interpersonal relationships just fine and nobody can even tell when I've been smoking. Tbh it barely gets me high anymore, just keeps me active and focused.
Curious if there's more like me out there

Title: [Electricity: Appliances] Refrigerator and Water Heater Pulsing
Text:Inaudible pulsing at my left ear drum, BROCA area and corner of left eye day and night.
I moved the refrigerator from the kitchen to the utility room next to the garage. The distance did not help as much as what type of circuit breaker the refrigerator was plugged into. In the kitchen, the refrigerator was plugged into a 15 amp 120 volt circuit breaker. In the utility room, the refrigerator is plugged into a 20 amp 240 volt circuit breaker. The 240 volt breaker is more grounded.
To reduce the power density of inaudible pulsing at my summer home in the radio quiet zone, I have to turn off the main circuit breaker on the electric pole, turn off the main breaker in the electric panel, turn off all the circuit breakers and unplug the refrigerator. The refrigerator power cord plugged into an outlet in the utility room who's circuit breaker is off does not suffice. Stray voltage? Power line communication? Phantom electricity?
I used the washer, washed dishes, took a shower and promptly turned off the circuit breaker. I kept the water heater off for three days, on for a morning, and off for three days. Three years ago, the military rewired my water heater to keep it always on. Turning

Title: Weirdest comments you've gotten about your scars?
Text:I once had a coworker point at my arm and say "Is that one for every person you've killed?" I just said "yeah" in a deadpan voice, another coworker started cracking up, and the guy who asked me said "Okay, that's the end of that conversation". It didn't really offend me because I don't really mind talking about it so I just thought it was kinda funny but I know it definitely would have bothered some people.
I've been asked about them by other coworkers but this was by far the weirdest & funniest. Had anyone had similar experiences? How did you feel about it,

Title: I have a conspiracy theory… I can’t be the only one who’s noticed it
Text:For the last month or so I've noticed an influx of AI generated images on Facebook, claiming to be anything from someone's art, to a selfie or portrait of someone in the military. On each of these posts, they explain what the AI generated image shows, and then ask for a like or appreciation.
Now that I've explained the foundation, these posts receive hundreds and up to 10ks reacts, majority of which are the 'like,' 'heart,' and 'care reacts. In the comment section, you'll see tons of old people praising and complimenting, to even thanking these AI images for their service. It's absolutely wild. I want to add that these images are very obviously AI generated, anyone with half a brain can tell that they're fake.
But they're getting better. Genuinely better. Not to the point I'm falling for it, but if these old people fell for it before, who knows the new bracket it's gonna claim.
(I have a lot of images to show that I will put at the bottom of this.)
My theory is this;
I don't know who, whether it's our own, or foreign, is doing this but I think there's a reason. To figure out at which point AI becomes unrecognizable to the general public. Not just boomers, but to us mill

Title: Why won't they call it Covid?
Text:I keep seeing news stories about major musical artists cancelling shows due to, "Illness." Bruce Springsteen got sick and lost his voice and had to cancel a number of shows. Neil Young's entire band got sick and just cancelled a tour because there was an "illness" in the bad. Pearl Jam is cancelling shows due to, "continuing illness." Willie Nelson cancelled shows due to, "illness." And now Pink has also canceled a show due to, "illness."
Meanwhile, Covid is surging all around. Wastewater data shows the west coast in particular is in the middle of a big surge.I was just exposed to it this past weekend from a friend who tested positive the day after we hung out. So far, so good for me. He's on Paxlovid.
Is it political? Do people just not want to admit they're still getting sick and getting Covid during an election year because it would make it look like the current administration is ignoring the issue?

Title: Hello from Triora, the Salem of Italy
Text:Hello fellow witches and Blessed Samhain to those who celebrated. I went to a small medieval village in the Alps-Maritimes called Triora. It was the site of one of the earliest witch trials, and it's known as the "Salem of Italy." They've preserved the lore of *Stregoneria*, or witchcraft. They have a small museum dedicated to Stregoneria and fully embrace their witchy history. The buildings are in their original condition and the attachments to hang torches to light up the corridors are still intact!
They had a two-day festival and I got to spend Halloween there. They held a beautiful ritual dedicated to the sacred feminine and it was led by a poetess and fire dancer. We got to write our intentions down on paper and burn them in a communal cauldron. It was very moving, actually--I even cried! Even though I spent the day alone, it was really nice. I even got to go foraging in the outskirts of the village.
I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures from the day. They like to paint whimsical motifs on old doors, but the most famous is a bronze sculpture of a friendly Strega. Hope you enjoy 😊

Title: Business partners die within 48 hours of each other after walking free from HP fraud trial.
Text:So Mike Lynch, a UK tech entrepreneur, and his associate Stephen Chamberlain sold their business to HP in 2011 for $11bn.
Long story short HP felt is was over valued and wasn't actually a good deal, so after many years of legalities these two guys ended up in court on fraud charges. They were found not guilty in June.
Now they're both dead.
One died on a sunken yacht yesterday, the other was hit by a car whilst out cycling a couple of days ago.
Bad luck or coincidence?

Title: Do you see something wrong with the representation of materiality using the cube ?
Text:I always see people mention how the cube/ Saturn/ base metal is being represented in different forms around the globe but here’s a different perspective- it is the last layer of creation it simply could represent the materiality of life which is still an aspect of life. Maybe when we pervert it and make it represent some evil connotation then it becomes bad
On the contrary - I do understand that there is certain mechanisms created in order to look at life from the aspect of material first and this could play apart of that representation
but ideally I think the whole concept of the subreddit is in a grey not just black or white just like most things it depends on perspective.

Title: The Conspiracy of the Democratic Party and How We Lost
Text:I've been a Democrat my whole life. When I was little my mom, who was active in the party, would take me to rallys and various events. When I grew up I loved PBS, Democracy Now, Keith Oberman, etc. Never watched fox news in my life. Pretty much everyone in my life was a Democrat, with a few exceptions, and with them we just didn't discuss politics.
I've contributed to various campaigns and helped build voting blocks. In short, I loved the party.
My values are and always have been:
* Anti-War
* Pro free speech / anti censorship
* Distrust of major intuitions and some government agencies
* Pro bodily autonomy
* Openness, tolerance, live and let live
* Meritocracy
* Anti big Pharma
* Support of "the little guy" and main street
* Pro-family
* Pro Science
And pretty much every democrat I know in person holds similar values, and (I thought) the party itself.
In the 2000s I saw the Bush administration as corrupt war criminals, the worst of the worst. (And I still do). Warmongers who lied to entangle us in conflict for 2 decades.
I voted for Obama twice, but during his 2nd term I started to realize he didn't fulfill any of his campaign promises and basically continued most of the

Title: Coincidence? I think not.
Text:Since earlier this week I have experienced multiple glitches in reality. I was at work with one earbud in listening to a podcast about a woman who had horrible hallucinations caused by dramamine when a woman walked up to me and asked me where the dramamine was. The next day I got on the bus so I could see someone I know who my former friend hated. When I looked up from my phone I saw that exact same former friend sitting directly across from me staring at me with pure hate in his eyes. There is no logical reason why he would possibly be on that bus because he works every day until 3:00 PM and this was 1:00 or 2:00 PM, and he is rich and usually gets an Uber driver to take him everywhere.
By this time I realized that I was on the wrong bus I was already far away from home and my destination. I told the driver I needed to get out and Google Maps said I was 30-something minutes away from home. I started running and must've been running for about 10 or 15 minutes when I checked my phone again. It still said I was 30-something minutes away from home.
When I got home I went on this forum to share my experience and the first thread I saw was about an obscure social media creator whose

Title: Time is posterior to my enjoyment
Text:I find it simply, the phenomenological moment \*sniff\* and time consciousness etc., is such a frightfully fleeting creature. Are we not ever encouraged to trade the valuable commodity of not only time invested, but also loss of the psychological state of temporal awareness.
As I see it, the so called "flow state" is by definition disruptive to a psyche which wills awareness of the moment. Therefore, I wonder: What is the effect of the psychogenic outcome of the dissonance that ultimately one incurs?

Title: What is your opinion about the intersection of AI, BCIs and consciousness?

I find these three fields fascinating + I believe the synergy between them will dramatically change the way we interact with the world (not that far in the future), perceive it (this will probably take longer) and even help us reach higher levels of consciousness (by, for instance, guiding us during meditation). Just starting this conversation to know what people think about the intersection of these three fields and its possibilities.

Title: The deal with kissing scars
Text:I know it’s a strange topic but I was thinking about it lately. I saw on Tik Tok a few times those slide shows where one person says about their insecurities and the other replies with something comforting like:
"But my stomach is not flat
That means there is more of you to love"
Or
"But I spend my whole day bed rotting
I can stay in bed with you if you don’t want to get out"
And one of those slides is usually something like
"But I have scars
I can kiss them for you"
I mean as a person with scars it feels a little comforting if someone would say or do that to me(if we are in a relationship and I trust them) but I can specify why
What are your thoughts about this?

Title: Missing Milestone Events & Feeling Lonely
Text:**Are there people who continue to skip milestone events in the lives of their family and friends if the situation is too risky, such as trips, birthdays, weddings, religious events, graduations, etc.?** It's hard to believe that we are in year 5 of this pandemic, and for those of us who continue taking precautions, the experience can be lonely and isolating.
I ask this question because I generally skip events due to COVID. I see the world moving on and living as if COVID doesn't exist, and it makes me wonder if I'm being overly cautious. The amount of guilt I feel for missing milestone moments has deteriorated my mental health, especially in the last two years when most people have dropped all COVID precautions. This ongoing pandemic has destroyed so many lives in numerous ways. I hate it all.

Title: We need to stop treating viral persistance as a theory and atart acting on it as if it’s fact.
Text:Infectious Covid viruses being found in autopsies no matter how long ago they were infected, spike proteins being found in biopsies everywhere, mutagenic pathways that allow Covid to adapt and burrow into every tissue once you’re infected, the same EXACT mechanisms that HIV uses to infect and kill T-cells; all of it points to an impossible-to-ignore conclusion, and it’s that Covid is not a one-and-done type of disease. You don’t “get” it and then “get over” it, once you’ve got it (and all of us have), you’ve got it forever.
Viral persistance is nothing new, STDs like Herpes and HPV, plus other chronic infections like chickenpox, aren’t completely alien to us. Even before Covid appeared most people had one or more of these viruses in their body already, and probably since they/we were kids. Even viruses that your body can fully clear linger for a bit. But Covid is different.
Covid, like HIV, uses a variety of mechanisms to evade our body’s immune response altogether and turn it against our own bodies when it is confronted. And, like HIV, it burrows into your bones and organs, actively mutating while in your body so that it can bind to different types of cells permanently. You kno

Title: Disability event - only one masking
Text:I went to an indoor disability awards ceremony a few days ago. I had brought up my concerns about Covid to the organisers and they had agreed to get hepa ventilators and said that masking would be heavily advised. I really trusted them, I thought that other disabled people would understand the importance and had really been looking forward to going to an event that would feel relatively safe.
Out of 200 people I was the only one masking, half of the ventilators weren’t even plugged in.
I’m so sad, I really thought that if anyone would understand it was fellow disabled people.
It was incredibly accessible in every other way which somehow makes it feel worse.

Title: Memetic psychogenesis of genre centered narratives.
Text:There are major narratives portrayed in music.
for N -> ∞
1) Trap God
2) Heartbroken gf
3) Country King
...
N) Rock Star
I think there is a certain appeal to allowing yourself to identify with these idealizations.
For one, its mythopoetic.
Each genre, and even song (Gangnam style), defines new boundaries for consciousness. Within the generic metaphysical boundaries there exists an interplay which manifests purely psychologically:
i,e: as a will of becoming, will of power, etc,
These then serve as physio-psychological barriers to individuals.
There exists the possibility of "over identification?", or maybe the effect is inherent:
The fulfillment of these identities creates obstacles and challenges you would otherwise not encounter.

Text:Made the fun (soul-crushing) discovery today that I can no longer stomach watching any of the videos I took during what was probably the happiest night of my life at a concert, because it's too much of a painful reminder that carefree joy like that is now a thing of the past. I'm only in my twenties - how am I supposed to spend the next 50+ years knowing that the best is already behind me, and I didn't even realize it at the time?

Title: Where has the narrative gone?
Text:It seems like there is a war on the transcendental. The landscape for individuation seems stark, like camels we drink from archipelagated puddles. Clout, money, rebellion, and I'm sure you could name one more, are so ephemeral that they seem deceitful.
Yet here don't you see furnaces tended to madly stuffed with coal bellowing out a grimace of smog?
Even in the sightliest among us, this opacity seems to be controlled by electrolysis.
Current events, they send people into such desperate states.
Everything from the past has been razed, disrespected and louted as prizes on the necks of pseudointellectuals.
Intellectualism itself is such a miserable affair today.
Lastly, love itself is under siege. Aesthetics under seizure, just as an example.
Seems every straw is short in this lot.
Edit: I humbly play the fool, it seems you all would have me believe eternity, once cherished, still thrives.

Title: In 2022 I turned crippling depression after an assault into art 💕 and now that art generates donation funds 😊💕
Text:In 2022 I was recovering from an assault and attack on my life that left me with crippling PTSD and depression just in time for Roe V Wade to get overturned. So within the same year of nearly losing my life to a man because my body looked desirable, our bodily autonomy is now in question more than ever in my lifetime. I completely spiraled. I really felt like I couldn’t breathe anymore.
I’ve always known I wasn’t good enough to be an artist but I began to draw and design anyways. Within a few weeks I was making my first art funded donation to the RRFP.
It’s hard for me to believe but now a few years later I’m still hand printing those same first designs in my apartment with a mix of glee and rage. And thanks to them I’ve been able to make infinitely more donations to groups like The Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project and Point Of Pride who help people access and pay for abortions and gender affirming healthcare than I ever would have with my job.
If you choose to support my shop you are also always supporting equal rights 💕 I donate for every single sale I make 💕 I use soft ringspun 100% cotton shirts that I hand print with plastisol ink in my tiny apartment 😊

Title: Mod note: Most of these posts are not relevant or are volt typhoon attacks
Text:Read title. This sub is not dead. Just strictly moderated to avoid volt typhoon spearhead messaging attacks and many posts that have nothing to do with gangstalking; given the context of the post. Gangstalking is a banned word in many parts of the world, such as a CCP led China. This sub is flooded nearly 24/7 with foreign attacks and criminal syndicates trying to wedge their way in with cyber attacks and disinformation.. I moderate appropriately.

Title: My mom found out last night
Text:So my mom caught me kinda in the act in the sense that my arm was bloody and bleeding, and I was holding a razor in my hand. I just kinda need to vent about this, there was lots of crying, only by me. I felt to ashamed when she saw and then she rolled up my sleeve that was down. After lots of crying and I started to calm down she asked what I used to do this (razor was hiding in my hand the whole time.) I told her it was an art supply because I'm an artist and it came from a pencil sharpener, so that counts. Then she asked if I wanted to keep it (she didn't know where it was from exactly) she asked if I wanted to keep what I was cutting with. I said no, she treated my wounds <3. But she has to tell my dad, I'm so scared for when he sees my face.
Update: I told my dad I was taking the bus to school, first thing he said to my was, "are you sure you want to, i heard you have issues"

Title: I don’t want to write people off anymore
Text:Without fully realizing it, I’ve been writing off people who don’t mask for the last few years, and I *think I don’t want to anymore. Since most people have dropped all covid precautions, I am finding myself dropping not only my connection with these people, but my belief in their humanity and care for others, which leads me to write people off wholly, even if they’re empathetic and kind in other respects.
As much as I see the need for community care and think masking is a way to do that, I don’t think writing off people who don’t mask anymore is helping me achieve or maintain community? I am starting to feel like a close-minded and judgmental person, which I have prided myself in not being - so how is this different? While dropping connections for safety reasons (I’m immunocompromised and don’t want to be around people who might be sick) feels fair to me, thinking poorly of someone who doesn’t mask feels … unfair? Wrong? The more the people around me stop masking, the more disdain I feel for them, and the bigger the hater I feel I am becoming? I want to meet people with grace and compassion but it has been SO HARD. I catch myself thinking things like “so and so is as kind as som

Title: I had my nude drawn and I absolutely love it
Text:I’ve never done anything like this before, but an artist I follow on Instagram was (still is I believe) accepting free submissions to have your “portrait” done (with no obligation to buy her work, but I did). I’m a little over a year post bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction, and am struggling to feel confident in my body again. Anywho, I highly recommend saying yes to things that encourage you to love yourself. The artist’s name is Hannah Stelter.

Title: My first experience swallowing marbles.
Text:The first thing is to mention that it was a strange experience, but not negative.
I was in the shower at 2 in the morning, I waited for the moment when my stomach was probably empty, at first it was difficult for me to swallow the marbles, until I discovered that with water they pass quickly.
Once I discovered the water, I felt as if my body began to move on its own; First they had been one at a time, then two at a time, then four and, before I knew it, I had a swollen belly and sixty marbles inside my stomach.
I couldn't tell you if I felt "full" but I did have enough to be able to hear them when I pressed on my belly.
It was strange, I felt in multiple ways, nervous, excited, distressed... but it didn't feel bad.
From time to time I heard noises and felt things inside me, probably due to the excess of marbles.
Currently they are still inside me, I can feel a slight heat and a constant "bubbling" while the area of my belly feels hot when I put my hand on it; I don't really know what I'll do when they come out, because my idea is to get them all back.
In conclusion: it was a pleasant experience, although I don't know if I would do it again since it is a very long process,

Title: PSA: If you go into the woods for spellwork/ritual, please don't use and leave plastic, nylon string, and polyester cloth. It's littering.
Text:To the coven that made the circle in my sacred woods (local underfunded state park): As a denizen of the woods, I was out communing with the natural world in my own particular idiom (I was bow hunting) and I came across this ritual circle. Which is fine. Howdy neighbor. Commune with the natural world in your own particular idiom. Call the cardinal directions, burn incence (when the fire hazard is low), dance naked (watch out for ticks), have fun, go nuts in a safe manner that doesn't bother the other denizens of the woods (like the owl that likes to eat in the tree next to this circle). But, I would ask that when you cast your circle, make your offerings (or whatever was tied up in the little cloth pouches, please don't invasive plant seeds🤞), that you don't use a piece of plastic to mark your center, don't tie your bundle of sage/incense with nylon string, and don't make your offering pouches out of polyester. And if you do, for Ullr's sake don't leave it there! It's not making magic better, it's just making nature worse. That stuff isn't going to break down so at that point it's just littering. I cleaned it up and thew the stuff in the trash after I hiked out (I really felt a s

Title: COVID Cautious @ Lollapalooza: Update
Text:Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ZeroCovidCommunity/s/DUhmLQmaM6
Some had asked for an update, so here I am! It’s been two weeks since I went to Lollapalooza (one day), I’ve been doing rapid tests every 3 days or so, and have been negative with no symptoms. This is how I “live with COVID” - taking precautions while allowing myself to go out for things that mean a lot to me - I’m not a frequent concert goer the way I used to be, but it felt good to be able to attend this one, take precautions, and have it pay off.
One common question I got on the last post was why I wore a KN95 instead of N95 - a few reasons. Understanding than N95s are more effective, the KN95 felt better for the event considering it was outdoors and lower risk than a packed indoor concert, and I’ve found it difficult to wear N95s for longer periods of time due to ear or head pain/end up fidgeting with them in ways that may compromise them. I’d also be lying if I didn’t say there was a social component to it - I knew I’d be one of few wearing a mask, someone already took a picture of me in a KN95, I didn’t want to draw even more attention. I’ve found my KN95s have protected me well throughout the pandem

Title: First time trying meth
Text:i saw a post just now asking about how everyone’s first time trying meth went down so i thought id make my own post. So my first time trying meth i was drunk riding my bike at 3 am to 7/11 to get snacks and i passed a couple dude on bikes and yelled “aye where the drugs at” then they looked at eachother and said “follow us kid” so we biked to a real dark parking lot, sat down and they said “you ever done ice?” and i said “nope but ill try anything” so they lined some up on their phone and gave me a straw, i sniffed was immediately NOT DRUNK anymore and continued to watch out for cars or cops while they shot up into their necks telling me “if we ever see you pick up a needle we are beating your ass” i followed them the whole night biking for hours watching them dumpster dive, drink sprite from the garbage and eat a uncooked thawed out frozen pizza they hid in some bushes at an apartment complex. we spent 3-4 hours at a bus stop looking on the ground for the bag of dope they supposedly had and never found it. 7 am hit and i felt like i wasn’t gonna score and hit some more dope so i just got sad and went home. little did i know that night was the worst mistake and beginning of the dow

Title: Science is useless and should be replaced by philosophy
Text:Science is actually useless. What has it ever done for us? It's just STEM nerds circlejerking about how exact a number they've managed to get in their most recent measurement.
Can science fix your broken pipes at home? Can it cook you a delicious dinner? Can it fix your broken marriage? No, it can't. It's horribly impractical and should therefore be replaced by philosophy. Philosophy can do all of the above easily - most plumbers have a PhD in philosophy because they couldn't get a job at a university, most philosophers know how to cook cause they can't afford restaurants, and most philosophers are great marriage councelors because they know Stoicism.
A STEM degree can't even get you a high paying job these days. It's literally for losers. Everyone knows that if you want to make them fat stacks (which is the point of education) you go for that philosophy major because then you can become the next Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson.
Also, speaking of hot studs, scientists don't fuck. They're mostly just sweaty nerds obssessing about numbers. Philosophers are objectively way cooler and therefore more alpha.
We should protect our children from scientists as much as possible.

Title: [Sound: Blast Overpressure] Navy has been blasting ultrasound since PROJECT Perfect Concussion for dissolution of memory.
Text:>Another MKUltra effort, Subproject 54, was the Navy's top secret "Perfect Concussion" program, which was supposed to use sub-aural frequency blasts to erase memory. However, the program was never carried out.[22]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra
Edit: "Sub-aural frequency blasts" means "below the ear." Sub-aural frequency would mean infrasound which is sonar. However, wikipedia does not cite its source for "sub-aural."
Wikipedia gave disinformation of its footnote #22. The transcript of the 1977 Senate hearing clearly shows Admiral Turner misrepresented Perfect Concussion had not been researched. The CIA ordered MK-Ultra documents destroyed.
In 2014, using my first account, /u/badbiosvictim, I posted on Perfect Concussion. I cited elsewhere in wikipedia that Perfect Concussion project was ceased due to causing permanent brain injury. My post does not come up using reddit's search engine. The post is no logner in my submission history. Search engines no longer bring up that wikipedia page. I cannot find this source to cite it.

Title: The radio silence on COVID from the Canadian government is infuriating.
Text:Any other Canadians feeling like they live in bizarro world? Not only are COVID surges not communicated to the general public or commented on by Public Health, but we still have to wait months to get our vaccines, which we also found out will not include Novavax this year. As much as the US has adopted a "COVID is over" mindset, even the government there had the good sense to approve and distribute the vaccines early this year. You'd think we'd get SOME kind of acknowledgement about it here, anything at all, especially since we like to pretend to be the US in most other regards.
Ontario's COVID wastewater has been spiking the past few weeks, and there's no guidance, no communication, nothing. We have a national wastewater reporting website, but we're lucky if it even gets updated on time, and are left to interpret that data for ourselves. And to make things even worse, the government just issued a directive for all 2023 vaccines to be destroyed, so we're now in a no-man's land of no communication, no vaccines, and no encouragement to pursue other sensible mitigations (i.e. masking), which means I now get harassed almost every time I'm masked in public.

Title: I feel so guilty and helpless to covid
Text:I have Covid for the second time this month. I'm 20, in college and I live with my family, so idk how I got it the last time, but this time I got it from my mom... We were all vaccinated. Yesterday I was pretty sure I was sick with it and I didn't feel well but I just started a job at Dollar General a couple weeks ago, and so I was told to come in for my shift last night (as a cashier) by both my parents and my manager... I listened because I felt I didn't have much of a choice. I wore a mask. But I feel so terrible thinking about all those people I could have gotten sick, and my family doesn't seem to care or take it seriously :( I woke up this morning having completely lost my voice.
I feel like I've just mostly listened to my family's point of view on it until now (that it doesn't really matter as much as it did) (I don't know, I usually just try to trust my parents on things)... But twice in one month??? And now I can't even talk... So I decided to do some searching online about this and found subreddits like these, which talk about how horrible covid is for so many people, and it just makes me feel so guilty. I feel so bad about just listening to my family... But I also fee

Title: I’m so fucking done.
Text:I’m going to rehab soon to get off this shit tbh. Twice in one month I have delt with this n-iso bullshit and I’m experiencing it right now as I speak. The other time I ended up having a seizure from it while trying to sleep. Now I’m worried that’ll happen again and I’m so tired right now. But I’m so done with this fake shit going around more lately it’s terrible. I feel like death and I don’t even get a high out of it, not at all. Don’t fucking say anything about how it’s not real and or I’ve just been doing it to much. I only started up today after alittle break from my last n-iso encounter Bcs it turned me off using for abit Bcs it felt so terrible. Im having heart palpitations and had my first seizure just from this cut. I’m not tryna die from this I’m just tryna have fun and get high but I can’t anymore and it sucks yea but I think it’s a sign really. Time to try again and check into rehab, I’m so fucking done.
(Edit)
Are you guys fucking empty in the head or something? I said I don’t wanna hear about how it’s not real and that it’s my tolerance when it literally is impossible for me to have a tolerance like that and have all negative side effects. You all would rather make

Title: How many of you remember the first time you knew and the reason you think it is?
Text:Have you ever talked to a girl and she thought you were a weirdo or dangerous, or just plain talking bad about you because of X at work? Have you ever argued with someone in the military in some way? Did someone thought of you as a dangerous person? Are you introverted? Have you posted something on the internet that might appear to be a threat of some kind? Have you searched something weird or illegal on Google?
Have you entered the dark web using tor (even though the connection is encrypted the ISP suspects you are using Tor)? Can you think of someone who has some resentment against you? Did you report someone to the police? Are you in active duty or a veteran? Do you think someone fears you can get them in trouble for knowing?
It's a brainteaser for me, specially having seen videos of cops breaking into a house with no warrant and arrest everyone with no consequence whatsoever. Do you think someone wants something you have? Maybe the perps are just trying to make you react in some way to have an excuse or to make you look like a fool if you want to call someone out?

Title: The crazy part of the Luigi Mangione case no one seems to be talking about…
Text:
So I’ve been digging into the weirder corners of the internet, and Luigi Mangione’s ties to crypto might be one of the craziest rabbit holes I’ve gone down. Hear me out, because the timeline and details here are just too much.
First, Luigi’s alt account followed a ton of crypto personalities, kind of a red flag when paired with his computer science background. If that wasn’t enough, blockchain sleuths tracked down his wallet and found out he owned a token called “Milady” which is infamous in certain niche online circles. On top of that, he lived in NYC—one of the world’s biggest crypto centers (and where milady was founded, apparently).
Here’s where it gets wild: IMMEDIATELY after Luigi was caught, a cryptocurrency called $LUIGI was launched. Like, we’re talking zero delay. This wasn’t some random memecoin that fizzled out either. On its very first day, $LUIGI reportedly hit over $60 million in market cap. SIXTY. MILLION. DOLLARS. Fast forward to now, and $LUIGI is still worth millions. It has over 30,000 holders and seems to have evolved into a movement of its own.
But no one knows who created it.
And apparently, that’s super weird for crypto. Even in anonymous projects, the
