There's a promising treatment for Huntington's disease in the works, and we might have vaccines for allergies and/or asthma at some point!
Yarvin doesn’t think Trump has the guts to pull off a full fascist nightmare.
It physically pains me to say this, but I think Yarvin is correct here. What IS getting done is bad enough, but he's right that you can't really half-ass a hostile takeover, which is what Trump et al seem to be doing. Yes, they're fucking the US systems up, badly, but they're leaving the structures too intact. They're still bothering with things like court cases and gerrymandering. You don't bother with gerrymandering if you're not planning on still having elections, yknow?
I also think Yarvin is correct that Trump and crew will ultimately fail because of it. That's probably cold comfort to the people who have already lost loved ones, or who are dying or going to die because of this administration (and as a trans person myself, I may well be among that number), but it's not nothing.
Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?
How is "bro" toxic...? I can see how someone who isn't a dude objecting to being called one, but that's not an issue with the word itself
I'm petty enough to put stickers over mine.
That's OK. No piece of art or media is gonna be everyone's Thing.
Steven Universe. The online fandom was insane. The actual show was incredible.
The story is awful enough, but the headline is making me want to punch someone.

OK, here's the thing. Overall, Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy is extremely good. I think it's the best Tolkien adaptation we're likely to ever get.
HOWEVER.
The random "Arwen is dying!" subplot was incredibly fucking stupid and while it didn't ruin the movies for me, it did dampen my enjoyment of them. There had to be a better way to get more screentime for Liv Tyler, surely.
"Should you" as in "is it morally/ethically wrong?" No, it's not. "Should you" as in "is it a good idea?" No, it's a terrible idea. And I think you know that on some level.
I do the cooking. It's not like my wife is incapable, she's just the breadwinner and it's more fair for me to do most of the house stuff.
