So you’re saying the horses should have been used to hide all evidence of the ineptitude of the men.

That works too.

Honestly the logical order. Wouldn’t expect them to be particularly successful.

That tracks.

I’ve been getting Botox for migraines for over a decade and I mentioned to my neurologist how this seems to have impacted my personality. He was unsurprised.

When your face does things without your input, you might find yourself feeling angry or sad or something, and not actually know why. We have some pretty good mirror neurons that make us share physical signals with other people, and we take on their emotional state sometimes as a result.

13-some years ago I started getting Botox for migraines, and my neurologist is…. Thorough. He likes doing a bit extra for cosmetic reasons… not with me; I actively decline cosmetic injections, even when he asks about my lopsided expressions (nah dude, that’s just how I use my face -lopsided- and I genuinely like those use lines; they tell you who I am. I’m not trying to look young forever as my body degrades around me…). I need some of my expressions, like anger and confusion…

But I noticed after my deep forehead wrinkles faded (when I was 25… so not normal age stuff) that I’m just calmer in general without the full range of expressions. I don’t get flustered the way I used to. It’s like paralyzing my facial muscles dulled my response to things that would normally elicit a strong emotional response.

This is obviously anecdotal, but it really convinces me that emotions are as much about bodily response as actual response.

I feel like if it was easy for him to get rid of the existing ones, he probably would…

Tho he got his kids vaxed and refused to answer if he’d do it again so there’s some chance he’s just being a disingenuous prick and fucking over millions for personal gain… wouldn’t put that past a single “conservative”

(Wild how in the wider world conservation means protecting things that exist, while American conservatism actively seeks to destroy everything that has existed for decades… wild…)

Three things combined: woman, money, female empowerment. Most of the replies probably don’t even follow this comm, they just have to share their lukewarm thought about a woman encouraging female empowerment, by being negative.

Lemmy has a big problem with incel-like behavior/thought patterns. Has since I joined going on 2 years ago. The wave I was part of managed to drive off the majority of female users in under 6 months. Just like Reddit but without the popular-platform-userbase that allows some of that shit to be drowned out.

There’s a very large subset of users who don’t like women and want them to stfu and go away. And we female types see that in this sort of post, which is why the new exodus had to create or resurrect -any- femme-focused comm.

And if we keep this shit up they will be driven off in 6 mths again.

Would the US destroy itself just to enforce this embargo?

I’m not sure why you find that unlikely at this point…?

You can get a yeast infection anywhere damp and warm. :)

Am I the only one surprised there were even that many in the first place?
