Eh… I wouldn’t recommend them for use during vigorous activity or on uneven ground. But they honestly aren’t that big of a deal for the majority of people. Around a cm of heel height is built into the vast majority of shoes. Most work boots and especially cowboy boots can have 3-4 cm of extra heel height without causing problems.

People with hyper mobile ankles or heels can be at higher risk of ankle injuries, but when people with higher mobile joints turn their ankles the sprains tend to be less severe. People with tight calves, heel spurs, hx of plantar fasciitis, or shortened Achilles can actually find high heeled shoes more comfortable than flats.

Everyone is different, just because you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in heels doesn’t mean everyone does.

The hilarious thing about all these fascist trying to claim that the new Pope is woke is that he’s more conservative than Francis.

Prevost opposes the ordination of women to the diaconate, arguing it “doesn’t necessarily solve a problem” and could create new issues.[106]

Prevost opposes euthanasia, abortion, and the death penalty.

Prevost opposed the inclusion of “gender ideology” in Peruvian school curricula, stating it promotes “genders that don’t exist”.[81][121] In 2012, he criticized popular culture’s sympathy for the “homosexual lifestyle” and same-sex families.[122] Prevost expressed reservations about “sympathy for beliefs and practices that contradict the gospel”

Just because he doesn’t hate brown people and doesn’t like trump they’re doing trans phrenology on him lol.

Lethal injections are performed by physicians.

No they are not. They’re usually performed by volunteers, most commonly EMTs or nurses. A lot of state protocols request that a physician be present to witness and call time of death, but even that’s rare.

The code of ethics in the AMA strictly prohibits physicians from participating in executions.

“A physician must not participate in a legally authorized execution,” the American Medical Association says in its Code of Medical Ethics. “When physicians participate in capital punishment, they are being utilized to intentionally inflict harm by using their medical knowledge and skills to forcibly cause death,” AMA media relations manager R.J. Mills told NPR. “Physicians who participate in capital punishment take an active role as agents of the state, not as advocates for the condemned, even if their intent is to minimize suffering.”

Unfortunately taxes are kinda the reason why we see so many oversized trucks on the market and the reason you don’t see any small trucks anymore. It’s a result of manufacturers and lobbyists gamifying the EPA regulations that came out like 10-15 years ago.

Basically trucks under a certain weight have to meet a certain mpg standard otherwise they’d be taxed at a higher rate. However, there was a bypass for heavier “super-duty” trucks, so now most every truck being sold is classified as a super-duty which were originally meant to encompass “working” trucks meant to haul things like equipment.

It’s really just another symptom of our government being a joke and the result of regulatory capture.

A perfect example of how terms like “woke” are indefinable.

I’ve said this before, but I truly believe at some point a psychiatrist diagnosed RFK Jr with autism or some kind of spectrum disorder and we are now getting to experience his grand display of denialism.

The guy was best friends with his flacon, was constantly called an odd kid, and has been fixated with being around, talking about, or acquiring dead animals since a very young age.

I don’t know if he’s actually autistic or just severely traumatized, but based on his bio it wouldn’t surprise me if someone’s given him the diagnoses in the past based on his history of troubling behavior.

Also a reminder for people with shitty parents… Setting healthy boundaries is not being mean, even if it feels like it sometimes.

Women have more rights than men, PERIOD.

E.g: They don’t get drafted

So your one example of women having more rights is a rule made by a society ruled by men? Some people would argue that women are being deprived of the right to fight for their nation…

In most every metric of power in modern society, men are placed over women. In wealth, political appointment, the judiciary, the military, and the police force we see men hold the vast majority of power.

Name a right women have that men do not and I can guarantee that example was implemented and enforced by a group mostly made of men.

It’s almost like memes are based on context… The reason it’s impactful is because in humans it’s rare to see women be the more powerful sex, it’s rare to see women kill men. Flipping the genders wouldn’t flip the context of the the social norms that the meme is dependent on.

A large aspect of humor is a reverse of expectations. The reason this is funny and the reverse is not is because the meme is the reverse of the social normative of humans. Men kill more women, men are bigger and stronger than women, men have more social power than women.

Your accusations of sexism rings hollow when you actually use logic and apply the situation to the realities of our actual societal structure.

Leftists don’t have an “anti gun thing,” that’s actually a liberal virtue signal,

Which is why I said progressives and not leftist. Imo conservatives want to conserve or revert to a previous status quo, while progressive want to progress or reform the status quo without changing the overruling system. I guess the real problem is there is no international standardized language for politics, mostly because America is so far right it’s reshaped the Overton window.

Progressives need to drop the whole anti gun thing. The social contract has been broken, the state will not protect us. The only people who have means to protect themselves nowadays are right wing chuds who don’t have to obey the law and fascist law enforcement who are immune from it.

If one of these kidnapping teams rightfully gets a couple of their agents blown away because they aren’t following the law and announcing themselves as law enforcement, maybe they’ll think again before kidnapping families off the street.

America actually has plenty of rare earth deposits, it’s just not profitable to mine them and then build facilities to refine them.

Lol, we aren’t going to be mining anything. Rare earth minerals aren’t rare because they’re only located in isolated places, they’re rare because they are only present in small amounts when mining other materials.

The hard part is the refining of rare earth minerals because it requires large investments in refineries to separate the materials and consolidate them. Infrastructure that Ukraine or America haven’t invested in.

The minerals deal is just something that trump can point to as a “win” when in reality it’s not worth anything. Just like everything this administration does, it’s nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Yeah… It’s almost like ethno-states are an inherently immoral and dangerous concept.

I feel for Jewish people who do not support the state of Israel, it must be ostracizing and exhausting to fight against the majority of their own people who constantly try to conflate ethnicity with nationalism.

I build and fit orthotics and prosthetics…this is mainly just a marketing gimmick. The myoelectric sensors that feed the data to the terminal device are built into the socket of the prosthetic. There’s no real reason to wear the socket without the hand, and you can’t operate the hand without the socket.

The hard connections from the end of the socket and the hand are very durable, and they typically don’t really have any issues with wear. I don’t think fidelity is a big issue because there’s not a ton of information being transferred, the myoelectric sensors haven’t really changed a bunch in the last 40 years and the amount of information being sent is minimal.

The biggest downside I foresee is that if you had different terminal devices, you’re probably going to have to pair them to the socket whenever you want to switch. When the traditional hard connection is just plug and play. That and you are just adding extra things to break in devices that are built to take a beating.

Lol, another good landlord special suggestion.

Is it the ceiling thats warping? And if it is the ceiling, does it feel firm, or does it have give?

If it’s not the ceiling and is just the trim I’d just pop off the trim and reposition it. If it’s the ceiling and it has give id probably do the same thing. If it doesn’t have any give and is actually the ceiling settling oddly I’d say you probably should have someone come and take a look at you foundation, especially if you notice a lot of cracks near windows/doorways.

If it’s the ceiling and you want to do the good ole landlord special, I’d just fill it with some joint compound, texture and then repaint it.

The lady doth protest too much… I’m calling it now, some psychiatrist tried to diagnose Rfk Jr with autism and he lost his fucking shit about it. I mean the dudes been obsessed with dead animals since he was a child always been known as “eccentric”.

Welcome to government brought to you by fascism, chaos is how they consolidate power. You create enough chaos to exhaust and scare people, blaming the chaos on a scapegoat. You then say, well I could totally get rid of all this chaos if you give me the power to do so. The courts, and the legislators are obviously not equipped to stop this mess, we just need one person with supreme power to cut through the bureaucracy…
