I’m vibing with the bottom-right

super cute!

mood.

you could look at local CSAs (community supported agriculture) and get a local, unprocessed source of meat that way if you’re committed to meat

but in general meat is shown to be unhealthy, associated with higher risks of colon cancer, etc. (I need to fact check this, but I think the big picture advice is aligned with most medical associations’ suggestions that a plant based diet is much healthier and reduces health risks).

+1 for tofu! Seitan lunch meat is pretty tasty, too!

theoretically you could try a vegan version of egg and bacon sandwiches - Just Egg frozen patties aren’t half bad, and seitan bacons sometimes are OK

not sure if the idea is that you’re trying to reduce fats?

and fuck company towns

you might need to provide more context, what do you mean by mythology?

I think the comic was supposed to inspire you to initiate a communist revolution 😄 for the cool shoes we will make, of course

oo, this reminds me of one of my favorite Existential Comics!

pretty great, finally shaved my legs for the first time in over a month 😵

how about you?

Movies, tv shows, browsing the internet, reading a book, playing an instrument. Honestly, making a complicated dinner is how I fill a lot of weekend afternoon / weekends, and when I feel like having a drink while doing it, I usually just get a non-alcoholic wine or beer, it fills that fun vibe without making me feel like shit later.

What do you already have on hand? What tools and materials?

If you had a cinderblock, log, car-jack, or other heavy / sturdy item, you could use that to rest the sofa on temporarily while you work on it. Since it’s a sofa, you could even just tip the sofa on one of its sides (if there is room). Even a stack of books could work, assuming nobody sits on the sofa or uses it (which is a good idea while it’s being repaired). Either way, you probably don’t need to buy something to rest the sofa on.

In terms of re-attaching the leg to the sofa, it depends on what you are working with, whether there is a way to screw something into the leg. Imagining a wooden leg, I could imagine drilling a hole into the leg and into the sofa, then driving a wooden dowel into the leg and putting wood glue into the hole and around the dowel and then softly tapping the leg into the hole you made into the sofa - the dowel going in the hole, I mean. Sometimes screws can be driven in at angles, or you can make or use brackets that screw into both.

it would help if you could clarify what you mean by wobbly or buzzy … maybe some examples of songs or segments that have the sound you’re describing?

is this song wobbly or buzzy?

Might also x-post to !dadforaminute@lemmy.world if you don’t get responses here.

I guess the stageists were right, liberalism always does come next. (\s)

Yet they don’t revoke the use of puberty blockers for cis children with precocious puberty, they only are concerned about the lack of data for trans kids - it’s motivated by transphobia, not actual clinical concerns.

Trans kids aren’t having poor outcomes from gender affirming care, quite the opposite actually - and the “we don’t have enough data” argument is a false concern used to plausibly deny a more than sufficiently demonstrated clinically safe and effective treatment.

EDIT: might be interested in reading: https://whatweknow.inequality.cornell.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-well-being-of-transgender-people/

We should be clear, the medical establishment is not woke (quite the contrary, actually) nor is every single major medical association recommending gender affirming care for trans youth on ideological grounds or because they have been forced to by some LGBT+ lobbying, but because the evidence we have points to that care being life saving and effective while also being low risk and in the case of puberty blockers even reversible.

EDIT2: you should also know the Cass Review has been found to be biased in its recommendations, e.g. this demand for high evidence in the case of trans care but not other areas of care have been pointed out as motivated by prejudice, might be worth reading more about the criticisms of the Cass Review:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cass_Review#Reception_by_academics_and_researchers

Several scholars and organisations have criticised the Cass Review’s conclusions and the evidence base used to support them. Researchers Cal Horton and Ruth Pearce have said of the Cass Review, “its most controversial recommendations are based on prejudice rather than evidence”. Cal Horton criticised the Interim Report and other documents for prioritising research on aetiology of trans identities, saying: “Research into the causation of trans identities has a pathologized history, running parallel to efforts to prevent or cure transness.” Cal Horton also criticised the Interim Report’s support of exploratory therapy and its use of the terminology of “desistance”.

Various scholars also criticised the emphasis on high and moderate quality evidence, saying that paediatric care often relies on low quality evidence in other areas; that in downgrading qualitative research, the patient voice was minimised; and that the highest quality evidence (such as from randomised controlled trials) may be difficult or unethical to obtain in this area.

Forcing trans kids to undergo the wrong puberty under the demands double-blind trials is as wrong as forcing a cis child to undergo the wrong puberty for the same purpose (like David Reimer was forced to), it’s an unreasonable expectation given the clinical context of the treatment being so low risk and the outcomes being so positive.

oh that’s awesome - and I can now confirm too, I clicked !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al from the Voyager App and it took me to the new community just fine:

ah, as far as I know Voyager doesn’t support PieFed yet, only Lemmy - so you might have to use a different app that supports both, or use the web. Sorry for the inconvenience - hopefully Voyager will support PieFed soon 🤞
