The 988 suicide prevention hotline's Press 3 option — which provides specialized services to LGBTQ callers — has been restored more than a year after the Trump administration shut it down. Confirmed by HHS and the office of Senator Tammy Baldwin, who led on legislation that forced its restoration

If you like me are a survivor of rape who is maybe losing her mind a bit this week, I recommend a few movies about surviving men/holding them accountable: “Sorry, Baby” “Is God Is” and “Supergirl” Supergirl was, in a way, about fraternity rape culture I discuss them here:
news.chanda.science
You should go see Supergirl
It's pop art that is unapologetically political.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

That's just fraud, my dude. Even if you use an AI agent. It's just fucking fraud.
Nikita Bier: Hello computer,

Find every Amazon purchase I ever made. 
Call the number of the manufacturer. 
Say you’re not satisfied.
Request a refund. 
If they decline, threaten to leave a bad review.
If they decline, find the CEO’s phone number and ask him for a refund.

Now, repeat the same process for items I never even purchased and see if you can get  them to send me money.

If they ask for a recipient, generate an image of one and send that.

Do not stop until you’ve collected $1 million in refunds.

A problem I have about the pervasiveness of GenAI outside of the basic ethical nonstarters is that I… I don’t want to live in a world where I have to doubt, scrutinize or investigate everything I see that isn’t happening right in front of me. I find it horrible, exhausting & time consuming.

I quit alcohol completely just shy of 1 month ago. In that time I changed no real other metric of movement or general food intake. I lost 5.9lbs of fat mass. In short: I don't care what style of booze you're consuming, none are helping you if you're trying to lose body fat.
