Halp, I've Fallen Into Tumblr

I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.

Feels like Trump just really wanted the Strait of Hormuz opened thinking it would magically drop prices to pre-war levels, and save the Republicans in the midterms (neither is going to happen).

It's worth noting that what is public is a draft and the full thing is mostly under a 60-day windows to actually get a deal inked out and signed. So a lot of this is preliminary. I actually think most of this only exists on words - a lot will probably not happen which means most of that 300 billion won't be distributed, though some definitely will. But holy hell, what we see so far is embarrassing.

Sanctions relief for Iran, nothing on the proxy terror networks that was one of the chief weaknesses of the JCPOA, this is a nothing short of a victory for Iran. Going into this year, it's worth noting just how shaky ground Iran was standing on. Hizballah gutted, Bashar al-Assad ousted, Huthi fire minimized, the Axis of Resistance was gasping for air while Iran's kleptocratic economy was giving up the ghost. The IRGC was facing massive protests as it turned to ever-increasing brutality to salvage its position. Now, they're emboldened and validated. They can asymmetrically close the Straits with just a few drones and demand concessions. Theh get badly needed money to prevent elite defection and factionalism and have validated their own rhetoric.

This is also a complete strategic defeat for the United States. Freedom of navigation is under question, the US's strategic magazine depth is facing pressure after a short period of conflict with a middle-rate power, it's very vulnerable to drones, and it's people are divided. It's leadership is correctly incompetent and its alliance network is in tatters. So for all those who were telling me "are you sure when you say Iran is winning," the answer is yes.

50 years of wargaming on this exact scenario. 50 years of defense and intelligence professionals saying that this is what would happen if Iran was attacked. But no, it was just because no one had the guts of our supreme and most-manly President. All of them believed in tepid legality, not maximum lethality.

You elected a showman, so here's your show. Pity those 14 service members don't get to see it. But hey, a UFC fight on the South Lawn. That's worth it, right?

Thanks for the question, Bruin.

ACAB obviously but English fans tend to be cunts wherever they go.

there’s sixteen Colorado counties that their most searched was “wolf furry”, plus thirty-odd counties (not counting either Arapahoe or any of the ones marked here as “Insufficient Data”) which may well have had plenty of searches for “wolf furry”, just fewer than for whatever they’re labeled here

and “skunk furry” searches in Arapahoe County outnumbered “wolf furry” searches in the entire state of Colorado

WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS MY FAVORITE TELEVISION SERIES OF ALL TIME (it's not out yet)

The "loneliness factor," he explains, has evolutionary routes. Natural selection chooses those ancestors who lived in groups. Whenever these socially connected ancestors found themselves alone, they went into hyper-stimulated mode, looking for danger and trying to get back to their tribe. It was hard-wired into them. And it is still hard-wired into us.

That hyper-stimulation of the brain and body when we are chronically alone is what causes not just bad mental health outcomes (suicide), or death by addiction (OD or just destruction of the body over time), but pretty much every other major disease category from cancer to heart disease. Many other important risk factors are highly correlated with these diseases.

But chronic isolation, when examined head-to-head with every other risk factor, is the most important according to Waldinger when looking at this 85 years of data.

between

stressed from being alone

and stressed by the kind of person you have to settle for

Sometimes being alone is less stressfull ...

Sure, it's not ideal ...

But neither is having to stay away from medical personal until the person is healthy enough to advocate for themselfes becasue otherwise it can get realy dangerous -> Something I have heard from multiple disabled and/or chronically sick people

Life Ain't No Pony Farm

So what I said is correct

Good thing you took the time to point that out :-)

The point is not to plop yourself with random humans, it's to form functional communities and social relationships. It's all covered in the article itself.

Again ...

You are agreeing with me, as I make the same point as the article?
