Honestly I get your frustration. Feeling like you're being hidden away...

But I think you're taking what you've got for granted. It sounds like your family is fairly liberal and well-meaning, but that doesn't mean her's is.

Even in the west, religious conservatism can get nasty real quick (especially for woman), so I can absolutely see why she might be scared to tell her family.

She probably doesn't like hiding you in the shadows any more than you do - you should be careful putting your feelings over her well-being.

Honestly, I just zone out for a bit. Especially during the winter it's nice to have warm water pouring over you

I'd say the dancing at least helps to spread awareness, but I don't think there's any country on Earth that in"t aware of Trump's stupid tariffs

Abso-fucking-lutely they should...

I don't like the idea of a potentially world ending nuclear stand-off, but we've learned well enough from these past couple of years that having nukes is the only way to guarantee your country's sovereignty against other nuclear powers.

I'd feel sorry for Elon IF his losses weren't entirely perpetuated by his own immoral actions.

You want to be a fascist doing Nazi salutes and repeating Nazi rhetoric? - then don't be surprised when people don't want to associate you or your products.

Not that it matter, because he'll survive off the back of SpaceX - which of course is not on DOGE's radar.

Putting a photo through an AI photo filter is not artistic. Literally a toddler drawing with a crayon is infinitely more artistic.

I can only speak for the UK, but the multinational fast-foods are almost never the cheaper option compared to just getting something from a local takeaway.

Though I know from my student days that there are plenty of students who will happily go around claiming they're broke while only eating expensive food, as though one didn't cause the other.

Tell you what, being locked down and barely able to socialise outside of immediate family for months on end does a lot to mess with your perception of time

Musk: "Civil War is Inevitable!"

People destroy his company's products.

Yep. The feeling of knowing you've forgotten something is so annoying, especially when its important

An agreement with Russia isn't worth the paper its written in. The Kremlin lies as easily as it breathes.

In theory Nitrogen suffocation should be incredibly humane. Nitrogen gas is incredibly dangerous in the workplace exactly because the human body is incapable of noticing it displacing air. It can kill you without you even noticing until you keel over dead.

Problem is when you shove a mask on someone's face and pump nitrogen into it, that's not what you're doing...

That doesn't displace the air the executed was breathing, because the air has nowhere to go, so it just mixes with the Nitrogen gas. The O2 gets used up and CO2 builds up until they die, which is basically normal suffocation (which is incredibly inhumane) with a side of Nitrogen gas.

To do it properly, you'd need to a much bigger chamber so that the air in the executed's lungs would be easily displaced, or a way to filter the CO2 out of the air they're breathing... But who's got time for that, when you can just torture prisoners with something that should be humane and pretend you have no idea why it "doesn't work properly" /s
