You got me reading statistical analysis of bullying across countries and damn this is a complicated topic. It seems like boys are the most likely perpetrators, but I wonder if it's a difference in relational and verbal bullying vs violent bullying, and what's perceived culturally as bullying and so on.

Horrible situation to put you and the patient in. I'm sorry.

Since the hospital can't share information on a legal matter, the commenters on the article are fascinating. People's baseline guesses from limited information are all over the map. What is the woman in their imagination like? Why is she doing this? What does this woman they're imagining deserve?

The comments from people who work in healthcare (and therefore have more information to work off of) are more interesting in a useful way, of course.

This idea reminds me of https://postsecret.com/ . I don't know if it's helpful, but it's interesting.

I don't know her so now this is the only thing I know about her. Yay? And I'm glad she doesn't make her sons take her nude pictures anymore?

I watched a bunch of old twilight zone as a kid. I never watched new versions, because critics always had a lot negative to say about them, and I personally only sorta enjoyed the classics. They did stick with me, the classic ones, even when kid-me didn't like them. They're influential.

Honestly, if I was starting now, I'd just find a list of best episodes and watch those first, and if you are super into them, then you know you'll probably enjoy the less notable ones. You can watch them out of order. The most famous ones are good to watch just to understand the many modern references to them.

I follow some streamers who mostly play indies. That's been my intro to most of the games I've played the last few years. It's tough because a multi player family game like you described probably needs to hit a different audience than the standard gaming spaces, even indie oriented ones.

I can see the slur, so maybe it's lemmy.world

A City Hall spokesperson said Rosenberg did not contact the mayor directly. “Time will tell how sincere of an apology it is,” Mamdani said on Wednesday.

Yeah, though I have a guess what time will reveal.

Rosenberg has a history of incendiary remarks. He referred to tennis legend Venus Williams as an “animal” and once referred to the U.S. Women’s Olympic soccer team as “juiced-up dykes.” He also mocked singer Kylie Minogue’s breast cancer diagnosis.

Time didn't stop him from making this new remark. And, hey, when reading that archived article linked in the original post:

He has also called female soccer players "juiced-up dykes," claimed "faggots play tennis," and said Palestinians were "stinking animals."

Hm! Yeah, going to need a lot of time to believe that he means it.

I've seen some stories where vampires suck blood through their teeth, back when I read more vampire fiction, but I don't know how common those are. I think it seems a bit comedic, so it probably depended on how funny the story was supposed to be.

 

Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

 

A federal jury has acquitted Bobby Nunez, who was charged with stealing government property by towing an immigration agent’s vehicle during the arrest of a TikTok influencer in downtown L.A.

 

A Somali U.S. citizen, Mubashir, was arrested by federal immigration officers in Cedar-Riverside Tuesday during a mass enforcement.

In the video, a federal officer is seen putting Mubashir in a choke hold and forcing him onto his knees in the snow as he was on his way to get food. Mubashir said he told officers multiple times that he is a U.S. citizen and asked if he could show them his I.D. Officers ignored him, dragged him in the snow and pushed him into a car as witnesses yelled and blew whistles, according to the video of his arrest.

 

Former Republican state legislator Austin Smith pleaded guilty Monday to what he previously called “ludicrous” charges that he personally forged more than 100 signatures on his petitions for reelection last year.

 

The 17-year-old was held more than five hours Friday in an ICE facility, his brother said.

I can't take a lot of cold medicines, but I wish I was unconscious right now.

What makes you feel better in this situation? Hot showers? Whiskey? Soup? Watching that comfort movie your mom put on when you were a kid?

 

Video purportedly showed two federal agents pulling the woman out of Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center at 2550 W. Addison St. about 7 Wednesday morning.

At a rally Wednesday evening at Northcenter Town Square, elected officials voiced frustration with immigration enforcement in the city. Ald. Matt Martin (47th) said the parents from the school had arranged legal representation for Galeano, though they were unsure where she had been taken.

“If ever you feel despair in the coming days, look around you,” Martin said. “There were four [federal agents], but there are hundreds of us. ”

 

Bomb threats to New Jersey polling stations, a voter roll mishap in Pennsylvania potentially affecting thousands of voters and warnings by President Donald Trump against California’s mail balloting system are marking the final day of voting in an off-year election with several nationally prominent r

 

Food banks have already been contending with higher food prices and increased need. Administrators say demand will skyrocket if federal nutrition benefits stop in a few days because of the government shutdown.

"The average household that we see receives about $350 per month, which roughly translates to about $44 million worth of SNAP benefits that will be gone from families," she told NPR. "There is no way that we alone can make up for a $44 million food budget shortfall."

 

Tensions flared early Thursday morning as protesters attempted to block U.S. Border Patrol agents from entering a U.S. Coast Guard base near Oakland that the Trump administration was staging as an operations hub for an anticipated immigration crackdown on the Bay Area.

 

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

 

Anyone have any experience wearing one for a long period of time?
