For those just joining us here’s a quick recap on the “Cornell 7” Consensus™️

7 men rubbed ketamine on their dicks after drugging a girl so that she’d stay unconscious while they raped her

Okay that didn’t happen but 7 men definitely drugged and gang raped her

Okay so she was never unconscious but she was clearly too intoxicated to consent to anything when she got there

Yes everyone else was intoxicated too to the point of vomiting and passing out but still

They sent a FREE PUSSY text! Clearly they wanted to gang rape her

Okay well yes 3 of the guys never even touched her and one came in and told everyone to get out but uhhh

Why do you even care???

Well she clearly felt coerced by all these men. She only consented to the first ketamine threesome!

She consented to the second threesome? Okay well she didn’t consent to the second participant of the third threesome.

The texts after are clearly just her placating abusers!

She wanted to go to another party with them?? Clearly a trauma response. We are very serious people.

Let’s pretend this particular strain of hantavirus is some new variant that could potentially spread rapidly to people just in your proximity.

It’s not, but let’s pretend.

Hantavirus is typically contracted by inhaling airborne particles from infected rodent urine, droppings, or saliva. It also doesn’t spread from human to human. Except for one rare type called the Andes variant, which only infects person to person from prolonged exposure. Significant close contact.

So hypothetically, if this hantavirus “outbreak” is a variant that not only spreads from human to human, but is also contagious enough that it doesn’t require prolonged exposure, then the odds of it being manmade would be fairly high.

At least that’s my take on it. It doesn’t seem like it’s even scientifically possible for this to happen based on what I’ve read about it, so unless humans tampered with it in a lab, there’s basically zero chance of this becoming a pandemic or even an issue worthy of attention.

@OriAbudi @dom_lucre Right?? Like why would they drop this now?

@ParisaAzar89062 @tracybeanz Unless I’m mistaken, I don’t think Hanta is contagious before symptoms appear. COVID was said to be unique in that you could be asymptomatic yet contagious

@colbybrandon07 @rushicrypto Right, but isn’t that still an appropriate use of “data center”? A place to process and store data about us?

something I've been reflecting on recently: if you're a parent who is decent at introspection, you should probably spend *less* time thinking about how to parent differently than your own parents and *more* time thinking about the potential risks of doing the "opposite" of your parents.

e.g. if your parents were too strict and overbearing, then you probably know a lot about the dangers of being strict and overbearing.

otoh, you know comparatively little about the dangers of being too permissive and unstructured. The risks of this are a total blind spot to you, and even if you have an idea of the risks they likely don't feel very emotionally real.

same goes for all kinds of things: suppressing emotions vs validating emotions, fixating on physical beauty/diet culture vs. body positivity/avoiding physical comments altogether etc.

You and your kids will probably benefit more if you really try to mine the "opposite" of what your parents did for risks and attempt to flesh out your blind spots rather than just fixating on ending "generational curses" or whatever.

I think the proper goal is to find a real positive to shoot for instead of more-or-less blindly reacting against the negatives you experienced as a kid.

I love growing our own food when I can because there is so much to learn and appreciate throughout the entire process, not because I could save myself £2 on a bag of potatoes.

I love cooking for my family because I love making sure they are healthy and well fed. I get joy from making them foods they love and enjoy eating, not because I could have saved money on a personal chef.

I love cleaning the house because it brings peace to us all, it keeps the germs at bay and gives us a safe, clean space to be together. Not because I saved money on a cleaner.

I love caring and homeschooling my son, I love spending time with him every day and getting to know his wonderfully wild ways. Not because I saved money on child care.

Yes, if we were rich I would probably outsource the cleaning, because who wouldn't 😂

But the rest I would do because it matters. Because I love it. I am appreciated beyond words for everything I do. It is valuable, hard work. And it is possible to know that without putting a figure on it.

Why would I teach my child that I am only worth something because I am saving the cost of outsourcing everything I do?

Why would I want my family to see me as replaceable?

If you don’t give off theater-kid energy while reading to your children, you’re not doing it right.
