This has been a problem throughout all the militaries of the world - East and West, since at least the times of Alexander and Hadrian. Maybe even Gilgamesh - who knows? It's very old.

We've been telling you for *decades* that *over half* of all rapes that occur in the 👇 military are *man-on-man* assaults. The burden of #MoralInjury is very high. And it give *permission* for the man-on-women assaults.

What's changed recently is that reporting has been removed from the chain of command to an outside investigatory body. 👇

I tell all of my women friends who ask me if they should get a gun: "go take a Krav Maga and a jiu jitsu self defense course *first* before you buy the gun. Get to the point that you are confident you can defend yourself with your bare hands. *Then* if you still want it 👇 join @liberalgunclub , or @PinkPistols , or Armed Equality and/or The John Brown Gun Club , find a non-NRA range near you, and take instruction, then rent a few handguns at that range and try them out until you find one you think you like. *Then* buy a sidearm for personal 👇

These criticism are IGNORING the FACT that what we're seeing IS NOT CAPITALISM

It's a deviant thing manufactured by fascist Vienna Business School.

What we're seeing is no more capitalism than the Uruk-Hai were still elves.

Morally centred Adam Smith Capitalism will save us. THERE ARE NO UTOPIAS. It's fairytale. Socialism is not a utopian solution for Americans.

Those are not the issues.

here are the issues:

1. "everybody's being mean to me" is not a marketing strategy but it is highly manipulative

2. the SCIENCE is thatthreadreaderapp.com/thread/1870016… Nukits are not effective more than 2 INCHES out from the source

3. she has never published *independent* third party testing results - only shit from the CCP which is a colonialist dishonest entity to the core. The CCP are NOT indigenous to China - they are an colonised

I'd believe this - they live lives of chronic stress. And that causes high cortisol and that suppresses all your hormones.

If we're gonna use people this way - then we need to provide them with somatic therapy to wash the stress and trauma out of their nervous systems so the cortisol can drop.

We also need to stop giving pilots meth to fly long missions on and then Ambien to let them sleep.

DOD is creating drug addictions and shredding people. IF that's the case then ALL veterans need to be warrantied with lifetime comprehensive health care

"French court sentences Dominique Pelicot to 20 years in prison and finds 46 other men guilty of rape, two of attempted rape and two of sexual assault.

"cast doubt upon explanations that rely solely on sex-linked biology. The researchers specifically homed in on “athlete-exposures,” a metric widely used in the field of sports science — and repeated without question by many journalists covering women’s higher rates of ACL injury. The popular measure embeds bias into the science, the researchers say, because it fails to account for different resources allotted to male and female athletes. They find women may face a greater risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury because they play on smaller teams

Not a doctor & don't play one on TV but juggling grows grey matter in the brain, so maybe, this can counteract the brain-shrinking effects of #SARS2COVID ?? @dbdugger @drseanmullen

"“Jugglers had more grey matter — which consists largely of the nerve cells — in the 👇 mid-temporal area and the left posterior intraparietal sulcus, which both process visual motion information.”When people spend three months learning to juggle, according to a paper published in Nature, parts of their brains grow."

update from FB friend who's gone blind in one eye:

His doc says it's NAION - Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy also often called *and eye stroke* !!!!

It's allegedly rare condition caused by a lack of blood flow to the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain. The exact cause is not fully understood. Theories are that it's caused by hypoperfusion of the short posterior ciliary arteries.

Guess what else does that??? #SARS2COVID

The risk factors can include hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, cardiovascular

#SARS2COVID In my FB feed - a friend - who never wore a mask and goes to parties and raves and etc - Woke up Saturday partially blind in one eye. He thought it was a migraine but it lasted through Sunday

Monday he decided it was a bigger problem - began to suspect 👇 his latest onset since his last COVID infection diabetes had a hand to play in this new blindness.

Eye doc ruled out diabetes as a suspect, and found swelling in the right optical nerve.

He was rushed to the hospital for imaging.
MRIs showed no tumor, hemorhhage, or blood 👇

Normally I agree with Nina Turner but in this instance she's wrong about Biden pardoning Hunter.

We have long recognised that parents sometimes cannot bring themselves to make the decisions that fulfills their duty to *society* when they bring a kid into the world who turns out to be a fuck-up.

Nevertheless, it is your DUTY to society, as a mother - as a father - as parents - when you add more people onto this fragile blue ball in space, that you make sure they turn out to be productive and not fuck-ups.

At some point a mother must say "I

Such malevolent secrecy is not just a betrayal of trust, love 👇 and the terms on which relationships are agreed.
