Note to everyone who came here via a recent tweet: I do not support Palestine, Iran or Israel. But I am firmly pro human-rights and I will speak out when I see violations. No matter the perpetrator.

@timishigh @OnsOranje You've been secretly invaded and on top of that everyone is welcome at a Dutch soccer party. The good news is that they will also leave again, because to us the USA is still a developing country in most aspects in most places.

@OnsOranje Are these americans Dutch? Are these Dutch tourist? Are they just american? Where the numbers come from

ARE YOU READY KANSAS CITY?! 🤯 #NothingLikeOranje #FIFAWorldCup

@Codie_Sanchez First: I hope you're both in good health. Second: reproduction is way more of a dice game than most people realise. Including fertility doctors themselves. And getting children has always been a 30's game because society has become hostile to it.

This is for every woman who has struggled with or been shamed trying to get pregnant. I'm pregnant and thrilled. AND YET I've been failing at it for years. You don't see the part where I'm on the floor with a syringe. You don't see the part where I miss the window or lose a pregnancy. My mother had several miscarriages. I've had one too. Sadly, this is so very common you probably have no idea. It's a quiet killer for women. For my mom, I will not put numbers on her grief because they are hers. I will tell you that I grew up knowing the word miscarriage the way other children grow up knowing the word garage. It was a household word. I have had one of my own. And before my baby, before my brother, and after me… there was Kristin. Kristin was my sister. She made it all the way. My mother carried her to term. She was born. She was alive. She came out, but she never left the hospital. She did not stay with us. She lived a month. Maybe two. Her heart had reversed valves. I remember my father telling me about driving home from the hospital that cloudy day without his baby girl. He and my mother alone in the car when the song, “My Love’s Leaving,” came on by Stevie Winwood. “Can I cope with today? My love is leavin' me Still I'm hoping she'll stay My love is leavin' me” That song hangs heavy in our family. Every year on Kristin's birthday I think about the tiny grave and the baby whose heart was too small, and I do the math of how old she would be now if she had stayed. That is, weirdly, what I have been carrying for years while I was trying to have a baby. If you have carried something like it, a sibling, a child, a pregnancy that ended on a bathroom floor, a name in a small graveyard with a date too close to itself, then you already know that what I am describing is not in the past. It is in the room. It is sitting on the bed during the test. It is in the car on the way to the appointment. It is the question every shot in the stomach is asking. Will this one stay. Please. That was the question my mother asked however many times. It was the question my father had to put down on a highway with Stevie Winwood on the radio. It is the question I am still asking, at 16 weeks, in the privacy of my own car, on the way to my own appointments, when the song comes on. So I guess while I am THRILLED. I am still putting this on the page because nobody else does. The world watches a woman like me and decides when she’s pregnant, she just gets lucky, and when she doesn’t she is just too busy or some heartless wench who only likes to work. The comments come. They always come. People who do not know your name typing into a phone that none of this matters unless you are a mother, and you should spend more time being a mom than doing this, and you never prioritized family. F*cking A there is no winning. I want to tell you what I was doing in the exact moment a stranger was typing that comment to me. I was on a kitchen floor in a different time zone, doing math with a syringe. I was 5 years into not getting pregnant and blaming myself every seven seconds. If you are reading this, and you have ever been told you should be doing more of the thing you were already, secretly, breaking yourself trying to do, please put the phone face down on the counter after this. You are not lazy. You are not late. You are not failing. People just hate their lives in that moment and want you to feel worse than they do. For me, the only answer was prayer. I prayed. I had not, until these three years, ever had a thing I needed badly enough to beg for it from something larger than me. I begged. I begged in cars. I begged in bathrooms. I begged at airports. I begged in clinics with the paper sheet under me. I begged while another woman in another room was getting the news I wanted and not getting it myself. I pleaded when I had nothing left to give in return for the asking. I think God gave us this baby. I do not know what else to call it. The other words I have tried do not fit. And yet, I am also very afraid. I have been around enough grief in this lineage to know that 16 weeks is not the finish line. Kristin's heart was too small at term. I've had my own pregnancy lost too. My mother carried her grief. I am not going to pretend I am not still scared, because pretending is the part of this story I am tired of, and the part that almost made me not tell you any of it. If you are reading this and you are scared too, you are allowed. You are allowed to be happy and afraid in the same hour. You are allowed to want this baby and not yet believe in this baby. You are allowed to thank God and refresh the doctor's portal in the same minute. If you are reading this in the parking lot at the clinic, I see you. If you are reading this with the leftover medication in the drawer, I see you. If you are like me who has not been able to ask her husband for what she needs, I have been you for years, and I am telling you now, he will sit on the edge of the bed and listen. They do not break the way you are afraid they will break. You can ask. You are allowed. If you have a Kristin, I am sorry. I think about her so very often, and I never met her. I will think about yours. If the comments in your life are louder than the truth in your body please stop listening to them. The body knows. Other people do not. If this isn't you scroll past... but I heard enough negativity with my announcement and many other womens I thought maybe the haters just don't know how damn hard this all is. And if they did... they'd be a little kinder. Xoxo - Codie

@DoeMarshallk358 @DocStrangelove2 Ah yeah! That's a game I only bought and played when a deluxe full version went on a steam sale for less than 20 bucks.

@spycrowsoft @DocStrangelove2 Been YEARS. I resolved to not do that since they paywalled DLC content in mass effect 3 THAT WAS ON THE DISK ON RELEASE DAY.

All those clowns who said the horse armor dlc wasn’t a big deal.

@MichaelShurkin Not liquid. That takes way more energy. What you saw was just enough energy to cause harmonic resonance. It still takes a hell of a lot of energy to cause that in concrete though...

When the '89 quake hit, I was serving food in a university dining hall. In front of me were large glass windows. Outside was a large concrete plaza. I saw waves in the concrete. Waves. For all intents and purposes, the plaza, concrete and all, had become liquid.

I lived through the '89 Loma Prieta quake in California and recall how traumatizing it was. Terrifying. Every aftershock put us in a panic. Yet none of us became homeless, and only 63 died. The Venezuela quake was far stronger, and building codes far weaker. 100x the trauma.

@C_S_Skeptic And only the European Union has a functional mobile antimatter container you can haul around in a truck. It currently stores up to 15 particles. And that research is now given a giant push to deter the USA from taking Greenland by rendering all AA & rocket shields ineffective.

FFS...

@Codie_Sanchez Yes and no.

One of the clearest signs of intelligence: How many words it takes you to say something.

@venomstrike @DocStrangelove2 That scenario can only happen when there are a substantial number of people on basic income and I don't see that happening.

@spycrowsoft @DocStrangelove2 no they wont because whales and stupid people will still exist it will have to get too expensive for those mongs first and even then there will be some whale hold outs who will use it as a status symbol even if its a detriment to them

@VX___________ @DocStrangelove2 We'll see.

@spycrowsoft @DocStrangelove2 Too many sheep. People are zombies .

@VX___________ @DocStrangelove2 I have a feeling that pattern is not going to survive for much longer.

@spycrowsoft @DocStrangelove2 Of course, but my point is there’s too many goyim to make that happen. Me and you won’t be buying, but millions of others will.

@ByrgaGeniht @FT 600M is the lower end of the estimation. Reality is between 600M and 800M. I just call that a billion. And her books certainly sold more than bibles in the same timeframe.

@spycrowsoft @FT You said Rowling had sold more books than the Bible. And it's not 1 billion, it's about 600 million, one-tenth that of the bible. And HP is in 7 volumes.

Our greatest assets have been appropriated by the Ministry of Wizardry, says Jo Ellison: ft.trib.al/iMgEkP7

@Codie_Sanchez That only works if you can get there without feedback. The other hard truth is that you usually can't.

hard truth... you're not ruthless enough for the success you say you want.

@IrradiatedGoon @DocStrangelove2 Well, the kind of game I play is still mostly free of DLCs and when they have one it usually adds a substantial amount of content a year or two later. As it should be.

@spycrowsoft @DocStrangelove2 Yeah, that'll go as well as telling people not to buy cars for thousands over MSRP. Retards will do it anyway and then everyone will suffer the consequences.

@rolofunk @DocStrangelove2 Maybe...

@spycrowsoft @DocStrangelove2 They outnumber us brother

@VX___________ @DocStrangelove2 Well that's the funny thing. If we all just stop at some point you reintroduce that point.

@spycrowsoft @DocStrangelove2 We are well past that point. It’s over. We lost.

@ByrgaGeniht @FT About 1 billion books sold versus at best 5 to 7 billion bibles. I call that an absolute winner for a writer who's still alive. It has beaten the bible in terms of velocity in every regard.

@spycrowsoft @FT Not even close. The number of HP books sold worldwide is less than 1 billion. The number of bibles is several billion. Kids these days aren't as interested in HP, and the TV series is already on the rocks.

Duh. The Air Quality in London is still terrible though. You've got lots of more work to do.

@UID_ Why? Because R32 is being banned on 2027-01-01 and replaced with cheaper and better propane. But since that requires explosion proof and lower maintenance components, suppliers will try to screw you over every chance they'll get.

@UID_ Conditions in most of Europe are still such that you'd only need one for 3 weeks per year at most. That is usually still manageable. Once we start hitting 6 weeks per year, you can bet AC's are being installed at a rapid pace. Pro tip: Wait until 2027, you'll get a better one.

X is loaded with people complaining about no AC in Europe. Which is true of course. Especially if you are in Europe right now and are used to AC under such conditions.
