This is what I’ve heard as well

I don’t care what they’re supposedly “about;” dignity and self-determination are important principles to me

Does anyone seriously think Michelle Obama is “as left progressive as it gets”?? Is the overton window so fucked that neoliberal ideas are now considered progressive?

When Michelle Obama did that shit, I ended up underweight and had to start spending more money on food

You sound like the kind of person who doesn’t give homeless people cash so they can’t spend it on drugs. Just let people find a little joy and make their own choices

I’m as left progressive as it gets

Lmao, you’re clearly not

##Update:

• Authorities have ruled out a cyberattack, with investigations indicating the outage was caused by a “very strong oscillation in the electrical network” that led Spain’s power system to disconnect from the European system, collapsing the Iberian electricity network

English summary:

• A massive power outage struck most of Spain, Portugal, parts of southern France, and Andorra around 12:30 PM CET on April 28, 2025 (3.5hrs ago).
• Electricity consumption dropped by about 50%, causing widespread disruption.
• Possible causes include a rare atmospheric phenomenon affecting high-voltage lines or a cyberattack; investigations are ongoing.
• The blackout disrupted traffic lights, public transport (trains, metro), airports, and telecommunications.
• Hospitals operated on emergency power; many surgeries were suspended; urgent patient transfers prioritized.
• Emergency plans were activated; Madrid raised its emergency level and considered military support to maintain order.
• Power restoration began gradually but full recovery could take 6 to 10 hours.
• The outage affected supermarkets, businesses, and public services, causing closures and delays.

I made this but idk how to share it bc catbox.moe never works for me, imgur is down, and I don’t have a peertube account

In the US, I think it’s more common to charge after. I worked at an agency whose paperwork stated they would charge before the session, but they never actually did.

Personally, I’m not gonna cancel a session just because the card declines anyway- I can be paid another time; so it’s much less awkward to just charge after imo

As a vegan, this is actually why I quit using cocaine lol

Christianity’s whole thing is that no sin is unforgivable (except deliberate rejection of the Holy Spirit’s work/testimony about Jesus (Mark 3:20-28))

What the fuck?
