I won't call myself a hero around needles.
It's not the needle that I fear, it's the sting.

It's because of a few bad experiences. It was for a work health checkup once. That needle to draw blood thicker than usual. We always have a survey after the checkup,
so I complained about that needle hurting. They got back to me and told me that no one had ever complained about it ( ), but that they would look into it.

Another time was during the Covid pandemic. There was a shortage of needles, so they used every Eastern European drain-pipe that they could find. The first and third jab were fine, but the second was very much not nice. It still hurt minutes after.

A young boy, huh? That was a few years ago and your gallery of photos is a testament that you’re no longer shy!

Good that didn’t last, I personally see many nurses I would like to drop my pants for 🤣

That has to be terrible to still hold this fear, but hopefully you get a lollipop afterwards 😃

Doctors can give you medicines, which is sometimes necessary,
but only you yourself can improve your health.

Health or lack of it is not just genetic or accidental,
you have a lot of influence over it with food, water, sleep and exercise.

Ask Grok: "What type of diet is best to reduce heart and arteries disease?"

Good food choices for hypertension management include:
Bananas (contain about 420 mg of potassium per piece)
Leafy greens (spinach, kale, Swiss chard)
Beans and lentils
Sweet potatoes
Avocados
Oranges and melons

You can do exercise without spending a cent. It's just a matter of moving some muscles, raising the heartbeat and working up a bit of a sweat.

My hypertension is reaching risky levels too, I've just measured close to 180/100. It's up and down, depending on how I treat my own body. I went to sleep too late, woke up too early, didn't take my supplements, didn't do any exercises, so it's up today. Last week,
I got it down to 140/85, by doing everything right. It's not fun, I would rather eat what I want and I don't like exercises, but heart disease and needles are no fun either.
My doctor isn't giving me any medicine yet. I have to improve my food, water, sleep and exercise, just like I'm telling you. I mainly have to loose weight. Maybe that's not your problem, but the regiment for your health problems is still almost the same.

on this we agree. a murder is a murder

Exactly, murder is murder, and that is not right.

All Democratic politicians are shouting that from the rooftops right now, including all liberal news outlets, and all liberal and lefty channels on YouTube. You really have to search hard and long for a lefty extremist who celebrates Kirk's murder. They exist,
of course, but I've found no one with a big platform.

Have you seen all Republicans say murder is wrong, when a Democrat or liberal
is murdered, or attacked with the intent of murder, with a clear right-wing motive?

All the right-wing media is still blaming the left, while every right-winger with a platform is calling for violence against the left.

They are all hypocrites.

Does it need to be "necessary"? How about "generally much more preferable than not"?

I think that I would have survived Covid without getting vaccinated, I'm not old and weak, and I generally have a decent immune system. Still, my brother is 4 years younger, and he had Covid before anyone else had it, because he was at the carnival parties in the south of my country, when it first started to spread quickly. He told me that he had never been as sick as that before. He felt very ill for a week, then had a horrible cough for weeks, and 3 months later, he still had trouble walking up a flight of stairs.

After 2 shots, I eventually got Covid. It wasn't fun, but I have had worse flus and migraines that were much worse.
[Before you think that I am saying that Covid is a flu, I'm not. Those are 2 completely different species of viruses. It's just as wrong to say that Covid is Ebola.]
I missed work for a few days, because I didn't feel like working, but I didn't spent any daytime in bed. After I beat those symptoms, I had a bad cough for a week.
What's important to say that I'm overweight and my brother isn't because he does a lot of physical work. There were many UNVACCINATED men of my age and weight who went to the hospital, were put into sleep on a ventilator for sometimes weeks, and lots of them died. More than 1000 men of my age and weight have died. Vaccination reduced that risk by >90%.
The risk of severe illness is reduced by about 95%.
So, I had a personal benefit from getting vaccinated.
The general benefit of me getting vaccinated is that I probably missed less working days, when I eventually got sick. I suffered no long-term effects from it. There were hundreds of thousands of people in my country who did suffer long-term effects or are even still now not fully recovered. That's a burden on society.

I don't know if the mRNA-COVID-19 vaccine saved my life, but it's possible. Many unvaccinated people died, I know several cases from within my circle of acquaintances. I don't know anyone who died after getting vaccinated, not from Covid and not from side effects of the vaccine.

Besides the mRNA-COVID-19 vaccination, I'm vaccinated against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio, Pertussis, Measles and Mumps. That's all the standard ones and Mumps at a later age, because I never had it. Those vaccinations were also not necessary to maintain my health or save my life. I never had any of those diseases, except Pertussis, a few years ago for 3 months. The vaccination effect diminishes after 40 years and the bacterium Bordetella pertussis has mutated. After 3 months, the doctor gave me an antibiotic and then it was gone in a week.

Why would you not get vaccinated, if all the information shows you that the benefits are much higher than the risk? I looked into all the claims that the mRNA-COVID-19 vaccine was killing people, and I concluded that those claims were either false or unverifiable. Those claims were coming from the same side that was spreading nonsense to people who don't have the knowledge to dismiss the nonsense. When they are telling me that mRNA-vaccines are gene-therapy, I know that to be nonsense. There is no system in human cells to include mRNA information into our genes. And that was even the least dumb conspiracy theory.

Let me reverse the question: do you only accept medical treatment, when it is necessary to maintain your health and save your life? Did you ever use medication? Was that medication 100% safe? When you take medication, who do you trust that the benefits outweigh the risk?

the issues of mental illness are spreading all over the country. i see purple hair and crap all the time now in this part of the country and this used to be a fitting place to live.

Thank you very much.

I can confirm that I never had the same “error message” in the brain, for a woman
who acts, dresses or even looks like a man. Over the years, we had friend circles that included gay men and lesbian women. We also got to meet their friend. One or two of the friends of the gay men gave me a few of those “error messages”, but the friend circles of the lesbian women never did. Don't you think that is strange?

I don't think it's societal, it must be something biological, but it's so strange that a woman feels it the same, for the same people, as a man. Overtly gay behavior is exaggerated feminine behavior. Drag queens are dressing and putting make-up on to create an exaggerated feminine look, with big tits, big butts and big red lips. That should only cause an "error" in the brain of a straight man, because it is attractive to straight men. Why would this cause an "error" in the brain of a straight woman? Straight women shouldn't be attracted to exaggerated femininity? However, butch lesbians are appropriating masculine behavior and looks. That should be attractive to straight woman. Why would that not result in an “error message” in their brain?

I am sure it's related to attraction, because I have had similar feelings, that I wouldn't really describe as an "error", but more like a "siren". I had that feeling in the sauna, when we were in a hot-tub with several people. There was one beautiful brown women that had already caught my attention, but I acted cool. But then she stood up to leave, passing along with her perfect ass about a foot from my nose, giving me direct view of her shaved pussy. Calling it a "siren" in my brain is an understatement. Can your head explode, without anyone noticing? I think I managed it.
I got a similar "siren", but only DEFCON 3, not DEFCON 1, when a very good looking woman showed me how to lay down on an x-ray machine. I was sitting on a chair next
to it and she lay down in a fetal position, making her tight jeans work very nicely together with her lower body, at very close proximity.
I accept the similarity of the brain "errors" and brain "sirens", as good evidence that
they are both related to my biological attraction.

I didn’t play the Powerball, the odds of winning are about 450 mill to one. Now the fl. Lott o was going for 31 million and the odds are about 70 million to one. Odds are so much better than playing Powerball and don’t you think 31 million is more than you can spend in a lifetime, so why not play the odds and go for the 31, I don’t want the billion, too much hassle paying taxes and people getting your phone number asking you for money, I’ll be happy with a mere one million.

It looks like (and i'm not that sure about it) that you can click on an image and it takes you to that pic and comments from the subject,,,maybe answers too. They also have different departments like "boots" "boobs" etc so you can go to postings of that subject.

I don’t know is my answer to your last question. Except that maybe they are paid by sites for directing people to these regular porn sites through their links. Sites like SYD would not pay for people to be directed towards them via such links. I have certainly seen material from well known and established subscription websites on sites like Imageporn and they would not allow that without reason.
So the business model of imageporn maybe to attract people to their site as they have collated all these links into themes and hope that the punters who visit will click on the links and visit the sites who will then pay imageporn a certain amount for every 100 or 1000 or whatever, people who visit them via the links,
I may not have explained that very clearly but that would explain why SYD type sites don’t feature.
