"Fun will now commence." - Seven of Nine.

It's actually sinister foreshadowing in The Batman.

Mushroom!

(It's been a couple years, I forget what the actual ping line is.)

100x the casualty count from Oct 7th.

It's way, way past eye for an eye. Stupid ingrains.

No kidding. The left-right compass assumes the right are conservative.

Centre is conservative. Moving in neither direction. Right has demonstrably proved itself to be in fact, regressive.

Of course, noone wants to actually change the general incorrect assumption, like always.

I've given up putting myself on the spectrum. I know what I believe in, and not everything seems to align neatly with the progressive majority. Standardised categories are useless bunk in the end.

Sisko hasn't met the Picard from The High Ground.

So, essentially its targeted towards violent incels among other specifics now.

Awesome.

Still waiting for the Harpy to be thrown out on her ass.

Really loose recollection and paraphrasing;

Trace contaminations in alcohol could lead heavy drinkers to pass out in a coma-like state for potentially days at a time. Given the frequency, holding a wake to be absolutely sure it wasn't one of these poisonings became a useful custom.

And then of course, changes and regulations mean the contaminations are weeded out of the process, but the ritual itself persists because of human habit.

There's definitely a problem with doctors who treat mothers as an obstacle to the process of birth, and belittle and humiliate them through the whole ordeal.

Going cold turkey on all medical assistance in response is insane. But frankly I have a hard time believing that the American medical system especially will work to fix things quickly from their end.

The real solution is getting more people back in the field, and more importantly, purging the misogynistic shit that is rampant amongst medical professionals. And this extends well beyond childbirth too of course, its just the most prevalent pressure point next to failure to diagnose cancer.
