    If we’re talking the ‘walking down the street at night and you see a woman’ scenario, making noise and keeping a respectful distance helps. Develop a whistling habit, have some jangly keys out, whatever. This especially helps if you’re behind us.

    Beyond that, it really depends on the situation, but as long as you don’t leer or loom that’s a good start.






  • It’s not frauds, they’re just hearing stuff differently than you are.

    What they hear is ‘my tribe (which is also your tribe as long as you support me) will get all the things, and everyone else will be left with nothing! Look, we’re so good at taking resources that even the law can’t stop us! Look, we’re so dedicated to taking resources that we’ll even beat up small children!’

    For them, all that fraudster stuff (and in the case of Trump and ICE, attacking kids) just makes them look better to those types. It shows they’ll scrap as dirty as they can to get all the stuff for ‘their team’. It’s the dark side of tribalism and it tends to rear its ugly head during unsettled times, due to limited resource access.







  • Sadly true. And yet, they go after the immigrants and not the business owners for some strange reason…

    And if you’re a complete sociopath, the ‘less brown people will fix things’ makes a bit of sense too. Less people means less competition for jobs, so more good jobs and higher wages since there would be fewer employees to go around. (This is also why they also want women out of the workforce.)

    That’s basically all the racists want, is everything in the country for themselves and their little groups. It’s the dark side of tribalism.




  • I think my favorite part of endometriosis is the catch-22: surgery is needed to fix it, but to get that surgery covered under medical plans it needs to be proven medically necessary. Endo doesn’t show up on scans well, so generally surgery is the only way to confirm the diagnosis.
