Yeah, I've been itching to play Beat Saber without giving these other assholes money. I miss that game so much.

Good! It seems the only thing American elites respond to is money, and too many Americans are addicted to consumption to stop giving these assholes money.

Most of the folks I talk to hear agree with me that things are going wrong, or that x,y, or z is a problem, but not enough to do anything about it. I have heard a few times that, " I want to do something, but I have to protect myself."

We need to inspire people.

This. Exactly this. Non-conservatives haven't had anyone to vote for for years, only people to vote against. Biden was anyone other than Trump. They thought that would work for Kamala, but here we are.

Related, when I tried to volunteer for the dems, all they wanted to do was have me make phone calls. I think in got an invite to knock doors like 2 days before the election. I tried to contact people several times to see how I could help energize the base or make sure people were registered and ready to vote. They kept asking me to make calls and send money. Now people like me are going to be directly hurt by these policies, the only question is how much.

I'm just south of that area now. I'm considering moving up there, but no plans yet. I haven't had great experiences with healthcare in the area and it's making me not want to stay

Wait until you learn about the Honored Matres.

I've had really bad experiences with LGBT groups/events, especially trans events, in the past. Working in a professional capacity has been the most rewarding way for me to feel connected, while also (hopefully) using some of the privilege I have to help others.

I'm working on online guides at work right now, so maybe I can upload those at some point if folks are interested.

I'm not anti gay, I was an STI nurse for a few years. Anal sex for ANYONE carries a higher risk per interaction, regardless of whether you are the receptive or insetive partner.

My point was not to label all people having unprotected sex as needing PrEP, or only gay people as needing PrEP. My point was to look at the types of sex you have, with the number and types of partners you have, and take a realistic look at what kinds of risks for STI transmission any of those have.

For instance, if you have lots of unprotected oral sex with strangers, you aren't going to get HIV. You might get another STI, but HIV is virtually un-transmissable via oral sex. But someone reading the comment might get scared and think they need to take PrEP.

It truly embiggens the spirit of the game.

I am 100% with you! CeraVe is definitely not a bad option, but once I was able to find Cetaphil in my area I started using it and haven't looked back.
