This is what happened to me a couple years ago and I don’t even live in the US. I ended up with a bad cavity and my dentist extracted the tooth. I found out not long after that the tooth could have easily been saved. Thankfully it’s only one of my back teeth so no one even realises I’m missing one.

Not sure where you live, but if you don’t live in a swing state, you’re wasting your vote if you DON’T vote third party.

This is exactly what I don’t understand about this claim lol. Why the fuck does it matter if someone from Minnesota or New York for example votes for a third party. The republicans haven’t won MN or NY in decades.

Because if I blame the voters, then I don’t have to admit that my country and its elections are a joke.

Oops lol

The tweet says: “OMG I JUST READ THAT CHINA IS 12 HOURS AHEAD OF AMERICA… WHY DIDN’T THEY WARN THEM ABOUT 9/11??? THATS SUCH BULLSHIT FUCK YOU CHINA LIKE 3 BILLION PEOPLE DIED!!! xxxxxxx”

American boogeyman stories about China always remind me of this tweet

None. I’m pretty lax about blocking people and haven’t yet encountered anyone worth blocking.

I haven’t blocked any communities or instances since the instance I created my account on has defederated from lemmy.world and lemmy.ca. I’ve considered blocking sh.itjust.works but I’ve successfully avoided them so far.

Oh, we have found many ways to adapt to a world that frequently wants to harm us. I have, like, half a dozen trusted friends on speed dial just in case. I didn’t mention this in the post but I was about to call one of them until he started calling after me first.

This is an absolutely terrible country that rivals America in terms of racism and sexism and I am looking to leave asap.

It’s pretty cliche but I got the bus home and on the way we passed an animal farm. There were chickens in the outdoor pen and it just clicked in my mind that what I was eating were living creatures that could feel pain and emotions. Instead of going straight home I jumped off at the closest store and began to look into buying plant based meat alternatives. I finished my shop, went home, and immediately threw out all the meat products I still had. I was only vegetarian for about 6 months but then I went vegan and never looked back.

Nowadays I am WFPB and doing a lot better.

Thank you. It’s genuinely horrible what people have to go through. I wish I could carry some kind of weapon but literally any form of self defence is illegal where I live, if I fight back then I am just as guilty. And then people wonder why crime rates against women are going up.

I’ll be honest just talking about it and having people listen is more help than I could ask for, thank you.

I mentioned this in another comment but my country is horrible when it comes to stuff like this. Self defence isn’t even legal. Welcome to Biscuit Island.

Nope, pepper spray is illegal where I live along with basically any other form of self defence.

I didn’t, the family member is fairly old and kind of paranoid so I knew this would freak them out. As I said the person following me didn’t see which house I went to and I’m not planning on doing these late night walks again (or even going out in the area alone again no matter the time really) so I seriously doubt anything else is going to happen.

Thank you. I definitely won’t be going out that late anymore especially not in that area. I agree that he almost 100% had worse motives. I’ve been harassed in public before but my fight or flight response has never kicked in like it did last night, it was honestly scary.

I’m not sure reporting the incident to the police would do anything though, I live in one of the worst countries for violence against women, cases of police officers assaulting women and getting let off with a slap on the wrist are far too common and the government refuses to legalise any kind of self-defence item.

Only Westoids could see cheap food and turn it into a bad thing

The phrase has gone from “liberals are against every war except the current one” to “liberals are against every war except the ones funded by democrats”

I have no questions to ask but am joining everyone else in sending well wishes. Hope you stay safe comrade.

Victory to Palestine

Fuck Israel and America

Assuming you’re talking about the Bill Wyman song, that isn’t even the worst thing about him.

The closest I’ve heard to any of the Beatles being creeps is George Harrison “joking” about buying his friend’s 15 year old daughter when he was well into his 30s. Not sure why you’d joke about something like that.

If the democrats lose it will be because their entire campaign is “we are not Trump, also if we lose the election it’s Russia’s fault”
