Idk, I grew up fat in the US and everyone around me made damn sure I never forgot it.

Fat people don't tend to be any kinder to other fat people, in my experience.

I've met a guy who no shit said this to me as if it was a justification for Israel's actions in Gaza.

If they didn't want her to voice her opinion they shouldn't have spent a week making fake ai images of her endorsing Trump. They forced her hand; she could either allow her likeness to be appropriated for a political cause she doesn't agree with, or make her true opinion known.

Yeah, but it hits different. Smaller number is smaller.

That's why I use Kelvin. THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DEGREES?!!

The reason they don't want you using your own WiFi access point is probably because dorms are prone to over congestion if everyone sets up their own WiFi network.

If you wanted to fuck with them-and you don't mind spending money-then you could set up your WiFi and get internet via mobile carrier or starlink, so that you never actually have to agree to their terms. Then when/if someone comes around to bitch at you you can watch them slowly come to the conclusion that they've got nothing on you.

Otherwise your options are to follow the rules to the letter and live without vr streaming, or accept that you might get in trouble. Some WiFi routers can be configured to not advertise their network; annoying because you'll have to manually enter the network information on every device, but it might keep you from getting caught.

As for connecting multiple devices without paying; there's probably some creative ways to tunnel all your traffic through a single device to get around that. Could still get you in trouble if you're caught.

If you're doing anything that could get you in trouble with the school make sure you save the email in which they told you using your own router is allowed.

Resisting peer pressure is easy if your peers never try to pressure you. Or hang out with you. Or talk to you.

You know what the one thing a wheelchair-bound person never needs?

A fucking chair.

Unanimously

While I think 'deepfake porn is bad' is pretty uncontroversial, I'm surprised not one senator decided to vote nay just to spite AOC.

Just got mine today. There were a couple hiccups for me though.

First is communication. I didn't know these were available until a family member mentioned it. The pharmacy has signs for flu shots, why not covid?

Second, supply. I tried making an appointment a week ago, but they didn't have any, so I had to wait until now.

Finally is insurance. My provider is fantastically opaque about whether they'd cover it. I didn't know if I'd have to pay for the shot until I saw $0 on the receipt.

To say this has been fumbled would be an understatement. I'm not convinced that any agencies or companies are even trying to get people vaxxed.
