I just get that annoying soap ad and sunglasses ad with the same actor
A bunch of ads for various things in Korea {airlines, travel to places from korea} I should stop watching unpretty rap star and listening to k pop on youtube
But I am getting those toward the end of the video cut away for an ad break a lot now
If I find whoever is responsible for these fake "let's play" mobile game ads I'm gonna 10,000 Fists of The Raging Tiger: Northern Mountain Style punch them in the dicks until they die from dick trauma.
some research published early this year seems to suggest that the link between talcum powder used on the genitals and ovarian cancer might have been false
I don't know shit though

It’s ovarian cancer and since it’s so small it’sa respiratory issue as well.
These things are a real tough intersection between industry that obviously doesn't want it to be true, scientists who could make their name on proving it true, and potentially very small effect sizes that could be real but not that important. Also not like people who commonly use baby powder wouldn't likely have some other associated habits that make it really hard to isolate a single variable. So it goes into the "if easily avoided may as well avoid it" category, but I wouldn't worry about it overmuch. But then I'm of the opinion that you are gonna die at some point and avoiding everything will just make life an exhausting waste.

I powder up my business because anything is better than swampy junk
might get cancer, but I smoke cigarettes and also exist in a world chock full of carcinogens so
Had a date ghost me yesterday. This was our...third rescheduled first date. We even had a backup plan in case we got rained out again.
Still haven't heard from her so no idea what the deal is.
The bright side was it was my friends bday yesterday so I took my date pizza and ate it with him and his GF at their place.
three strikes, she out
Yeah, I've gone down that road before. Had some good conversations and I felt like we hit it off, but if you're constantly cancelling you're pretty clearly not as into me as I'm into you. Best to just call it quits and move on at some point.
Life may be happening, but it's not on you to figure that out for them, bail and if they pop up again with a convenient date, time and activity then...MAYBE (and even then I'd want them to at least address them being a flake before) but otherwise nopeeee.
So when we are cut off from others, our brains interpret it as a mortal threat. Feeling lonely or isolated is as much a biological signal as hunger or thirst. And just like not eating when you’re starved or not drinking when you’re dehydrated, failing to interact with others when you are lonely leads to negative cognitive, emotional and physiological effects, which Dr. Cacioppo said many of us are likely experiencing now.
Even if you are ensconced in a pandemic pod with a romantic partner or family members, you can still feel lonely — often camouflaged as sadness, irritability, anger and lethargy — because you’re not getting the full range of human interactions that you need, almost like not eating a balanced diet. We underestimate how much we benefit from casual camaraderie at the office, gym, choir practice or art class, not to mention spontaneous exchanges with strangers.

I mean, it's not wrong. Even introverted folks who don't like being social and find it enervating (hi) do need casual interaction. How often have you heard someone say that they want to be by themselves in a room but not alone at home?
Humans evolved to be pack animals, like non-human apes, and the upswing of that is that one of the behaviors that comes along with social adaptations is an aversion to being completely isolated.

nah i'm just making a joke about how my introversion is so strong and happy now i would hiss and hide under the oven if i saw another person
It's been something seeing all this go down and learning that my normal everyday life is an existential nightmare for everyone else.

I like my alone time, but I know I have mental health issues and part of managing that has been spending time with other people. Turns out I need that to be healthy, who knew! This pandemic has been ROUGH.
i thought it was a good article
like it was interesting the stuff about the antarctic researchers
(except now when you're out and about everyone is trying to walk far away from people and not talk to strangers at all)
even if it doesn't apply to everyone (and obv not essential workers etc)
i went from like, coming back from a trip to wyoming with friends, regularly going to the office full of people, in one of the busiest cities in the world, riding the subway, living with a roommate, going to coffee shops and bars and restaurants, seeing different friends multiple times a week
to basically just seeing my parents and no one else except rarely
heck, i didn't even go to a grocery store until sometime in may probably
cuz even before when i wanted, say, a weekend alone, that'd be after a week of work, and i'd still need to maybe go downstairs to the bodega
my calls and video chats went way way down too
i feel weird and different
and when i did see friends the other week it was still weird but it was so nice i got teary eyed but it was weird and i felt weird
though i think adding my depression on top of that was also a factor
It's been something seeing all this go down and learning that my normal everyday life is an existential nightmare for everyone else.
I don't want people to be thinking that, though. It's not that we're saying, oh, your life sucks. It's more that I'm saying, what you enjoy as a daily way to live, I find difficult and emotionally draining. And in the same way that I would be hugely sympathetic for introverts if there was a global pandemic that forced people to spend all their time around others, I think it's fair to say that being an extrovert who lives alone during lockdown...
Well, it fucked me up far more than I thought even at the time. Like it took coming out of lockdown entirely for me to realise just how profoundly miserable I was day after day.
Like before lockdown I tended to see people at work and then see part of my friendship group every day in the week, apart from weekends, when I just saw friends every day.
To go from that to not having a conversation with someone face to face for three months was deeply upsetting to me.
Yeah, I miss my social interactions pretty desperately, I had a falling out with my drinking buddies back in January, my other "bros" either live other states now or have toddlers they don't want to see people who work in healthcare
Thankfully, I guess, my girlfriend's family has had to share baby sitting duties for her nephews, on account of their parents working when their schools went remote in the spring, so the "bubble" includes most of my girlfriend's family, at least
But I would love to see someone outside of the bubble, we all get along well, but seeing almost no one but the same eight people for nine months now has been very disorienting, I guess, is the word
I go grocery shopping Saturday or Sunday, see some of the fam on Wednesday and sometimes a second time, and go to work
And shoot my bow maybe once a week
And it's been repeating for what feels like an eternity
And some variety of something very similar is happening to almost everyone on the planet
While the country (USA) falls to open fascism

Yeah, I see...one other person on a regular basis--once or twice a week at most. Occasionally I go into work in the lab and wave to someone. I walk to the other side of the street if I'm passing them. My level of human contact at this point is about 1 degree above "hermit", and I am not a fan.
I’m an introvert who thinks they cope very well alone, until I finally spend time with a friend, then realize oh, that’s what was missing!
Like I had a whole week back in July when I was feeling especially crappy and anxious, then I video chatted to a friend for a couple of hours and I felt so much better!
And that’s with living with my family, who are all great, but obviously not always enough. (Or sometimes too much, in the case of the kiddos. Like, I am constantly torn between wanting interaction but also GIVE ME SPACE! Let me sit/sleep alone!)

Genital...upkeep?
Depending on what genitalia you have it can be quite important to keep them up.
Rookie move!
The experts all have their genitals replaced with a crane!
Yup! And some talcum powder ads for down there too! Who cares that it causes cancer when we can sell things!

Ghosting is the end of the line though, I feel. It's just unbelievably rude
But then I don't get matches or conversations or dates at all ever anyway so it's moot
Hell I reinstalled bumble because I'm really craving conversation at least, had it up for like two months with no matches.
