Pick one. Or more. Occhio solo alle derive dannose.
NB: non conosco nessuno, né so se esiste una definizione nel caso in cui qualcuno dovesse scegliere di consumare prodotti vegetali escludendo tutti i prodotti animali mantenendo però il miele e gli altri derivati animali minori (che sarebbero poi il polline, la propoli e cose simili). Comunque questo qualcuno avrebbe bisogno di B12.
ADDENDUM
a seconda di quale sia la frequenza del consumo di carne e pesce, anche gli onnivori sociali e flexitariani potrebbero aver bisogno di integrare la B12.

DD, I wanted to thank you for the Hiccup Cure (and re-up the link for anyone who hasn't seen it recently -- https://www.dianeduane.com/outofambit/2017/04/25/the-hiccup-cure/ !) My roommate had been uncomfortably hiccuping for hours and I cured them in 30 seconds once they let me try. It really works every time!
dduane answered:
You’re so welcome!
When the resident at the NYH emergency room spelled it out for me, I was caught between two immediate reactions: (a) suspicion, because it sounded too easy, and (b) that feeling of inevitability that sometimes accompanies explanations that make immediate perfect sense. There was, of course, nothing to do but test it. So I did, again and again and again... and it just kept working.
Anyway, here’s the link again for those who don’t feel like cut ‘n’ pasting.
yep. it worked.
at the first step.
thank you Diane!!

I CONFESS NOTHING
“So, if you could kidnap me really publicly that would be great.”
“…why?”
“I kinda forgot about this research essay due tomorrow? And like, my prof knows I’m a hero- I even brought my laptop so I can write it in your cell. Is the wifi password still the same?”
Had to respond to this one! Thanks for a great prompt, @nuttynutcycle:
Villain sputtered.
“Look, you need a win and I need 72 hours,” Hero pleaded. “I’m offering you a three day, hero-free crime spree!”
“You think I can just whip up a crime spree on a moment’s notice?” the villain protested.
Hero slapped them on the back. “I have total confidence in you.” They reached past to drop their backpack into the trunk of the villain’s car.
“I think you’ve gotten a bit too comfortable with your confidence in me,” Villain muttered under their breath.
Hero paid them no mind. “Pick me up at City Hall at ten!” they called, strolling off with a jaunty wave.
It was a first rate kidnapping; laser blasts, smoke grenades, dire threats, and a grab-and-run played perfectly to the cameras.
By the time Villain had finished putting everything away and came in with the Hero’s backpack, Hero had worked their way out of the cuffs and was sprawled across the neat little bed in Villain’s cell, looking very pleased with themself.
“So,” Villain said with dry irony. “I take it you’re satisfied with your requested kidnapping?”
“You’ve outdone yourself!” Hero exclaimed jumping up to grab the bag away. “Has it hit the news yet? I gotta see this.”
“I feel,” Villain said, arms crossed, “like you are not respecting my evilness.”
“Hey, my phone’s not here,” said Hero, brow creasing as they dug deeper into their bag. “Can you check if it fell out in your car?”
“Your phone?” Villain raised their eyebrows. “You said you were writing a research paper. What do you need a phone for?”
Hero’s eyes snapped up. For the first time, they looked… wary.
“Incidentally the wifi password is still the same,” Villain added cheerfully.
“[Villain]…?” Hero said in an uncertain tone.
“But I’ve installed a dampener. Don’t worry though, I’ve downloaded all your professor’s recommended materials to your laptop. Had to remove some files to make space. Looked like games? Maybe some music?”
Hero gaped. “What the fuck is wrong with you?”
Villain gave them a shit eating grin back. “You wanted help writing your paper. I’m giving you exactly what you wanted. A nice, quiet, distraction-free environment for three days.”
“You utter-” Hero caught themself, folded their arms and glared. “Ha. Funny.. Very funny. Excuse me while I escape-”
Villain slammed the door behind them with a bang that made Hero jump. “You step one foot out of this cell before the 72 hours is up, and I send the video-” Villain jabbed a finger up at the subtle camera in the ceiling- “of you admitting you asked for this to every tabloid and muckraker in this city. And I’m sending it to your professor first,” they added with wicked glee. “You should see the texts they’re sending your mother. They’re so scared for you.”
Hero pulled up short, frozen in the middle of the cell. Villain grinned and stuck their hands in their pockets. “Now if you’ll excuse me,” they said with a smirk, “I have a crime spree to execute. And I believe you have a paper to write.”
“You’re evil!” Hero cried.
“I’ll be back tomorrow to check your citations,” Villain sing songed and sauntered out. God, did it feel good to be the instrument of someone else’s dramatic irony.
@nuttynutcycle we did it! 👏
The paradox of tolerance is only a paradox if you think of tolerance as some sacred and unconditional moral duty. Some ultimate and absolute law with no exceptions, and if you ever slip into the sin of intolerance, you must repent yourself and beg for forgiveness. Yeah no fuck that. Tolerance is a social contract. You're in the game as an equal player for as long as you play by the same rules as everyone else, and if you don't, your ass is fucking out. You're not entitled to the same respect you won't give others.
"Oh so you all tolerate each other just because you tolerate each other, but if I want to destroy you, then all of a sudden you want to destroy me?" Literally yes. That's the gist of it. What's not clicking. This equation is so simple it barely counts as math.

So whenever your disability pride flag is shared on tiktok, ive noticed people asking why do disabled people need a pride flag, or saying that we dont deserve one because we are "co opting" the gay pride movement... and i am honestly at a loss at what to say to them
capricorn-0mnikorn answered:
Okay, then: here’s some Disability Pride Talking points for you, when you come upon that assumption:
First: The Disability Rights Movement gained steam in the U.S. at the same time as the Civil Rights Movement was advocating for racial equality, and the Women’s Rights movement was advocating for gender equality – all in the same decade as the Stonewall Riots.
Second: it may seem like Disability Pride Month is “copying” Queer Pride Month, because July comes right after June. But the reason we celebrate Disability Pride Month in July is because that’s when The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed: on July 26, 1990. This was the first Disabilities Rights act in the world. It was followed in 1995 by the Disabilities Discrimination Act in the U.K., and in 2019 in Canada.
Third: on April 5, 1977, the (American) Nationwide 504 Sit-in (Wikipedia article) began, to protest the fact that three presidents in a row had been stalling for four years to implement Disability Civil Rights legislation. Disability advocates staged sit-ins in Federal Buildings for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, and Seattle, San Fransisco, and Washington D.C..
The sit-in in Washington D.C. lasted 28 hours. The Sit-in in San Fransisco lasted 25 Days, and remains the longest occupation of a Federal Government building in U.S. History (It was epic). The civil rights group The Black Panthers also helped with logistical support.
The police tried to force the people inside to leave by cutting phone lines, forgetting that there were people who knew American Sign Language both inside the building, and outside, in the crowd, and they relayed messages back and forth through the windows (excuse me while I take a Cackle break).
Finally: Disabled people are human beings, and deserve all the human rights as everyone else. But a lot of people in authority, look at our lives from the outside, decide that we already have a low-quality of life (without actually asking us), and deciding that it wouldn’t be so bad if we died. You know, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in this country, it was a fairly common policy that if hospitals ran low on ventilators, they’d just take them from disabled people who needed to use them every day? Remember that?
That’s why we have to get loud.
This july support your local disabled person by shutting up and letting us have our pride ❤️
