Meme - Tim Ricketts @timricketts_: "This is the most NHS thing I've ever read in my life"
"What is the most ridiculous thing you've ever had to deal with at work?
When I worked in the NHS, I had to take part in an investigation about a poo on the floor ina community hospital. A patient had missed the bog, so it sat steaming on the floor. The nurse said, too busy, can't clean that up, get the cleaner. Cleaner said can't touch that, it's biological waste. Went back to nurse who said find a healthcare assistant. Healthcare assistant said can't do it, haven't been signed off on the infection control policy. Escalated to sister who said the student nurse should do it. Student nurse vomited and ran out crying. I was in the building at the time and heard all the fuss. Thought FFS and cleaned it up myself. Got reported as I was just a manager and not clinical."
Clearly, we need even more health and safety and other regulation to protect people

'"Are you clean?” should be banned from Grindr – and we all have a role in making it happen' - "“Are you clean?” is a phrase familiar to anyone who uses Grindr. It’s used to ask about someone’s sexual health, but more specifically about their HIV status. It’s a phrase that is so casually cruel. As Adam puts it on the show, “Does that make me dirty because I have HIV?” Adam’s experience speaks to the heart of how we connect as a community. For a huge number of us, dating and hook-up apps are a key part of how we meet people, express our sexuality and form relationships. They should be space for fun and for pleasure – and for most of us, they are. We don’t talk enough about how they can be space that perpetuate stigma and trauma for people living with HIV. And often racism, transphobia and body-shaming too."
There's nothing wrong with having HIV and if you don't want to have sex with someone with HIV, you are a bad person because "stigma" and "discrimination" are the only downsides of having HIV, and if you aren't for giving gay men PrEP and antiretrovirals for free so they can have raw chemsex and live with HIV, you are homophobic. There's nothing wrong with having sex with someone and not telling them you have it

Turkish Twitch streamer banned after urging viewers to 'kill' Florida senator - "Turkish streamer and political commentator Hasan Piker was banned from streaming platform Twitch Monday after he made threats directed at Sen.

Scott of committing the “largest Medicare fraud in U.S. history.”"

‘Rightwing extremist’ German magazine wins court battle against ban - "A German federal court has overturned a ban on a magazine classed by the government as rightwing extremist, in a high-profile legal battle seen as pitting efforts by the authorities to protect the democratic order against media freedom. The federal administrative court said that while Compact, a publication with close ties to the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, had produced “anticonstitutional” content, it did “not yet” represent a threat to the state... The legal victory for the magazine took place against a backdrop of calls to outlaw the AfD, Germany’s biggest opposition party since February’s general election. The BfV in May deemed the pro-Russian, anti-immigrant party to be confirmed rightwing extremist and placed it under observation, potentially paving the way for an official ban... Björn Höcke, the leader of the party’s most radical wing, welcomed Tuesday’s ruling in favour of Compact as setting a high bar for any government crackdown. “Instead of going after Islamists, she [Faeser] hunted down harmless critics of the government,” he posted on X."
To defend against fascism, we need to censor the press and ban political parties. When that doesn't work, the next step will be to put the "far right" in camps
AfD wants to end German government subsidies to left-wing NGOs : r/europe_sub - "NGOs that are entirely reliant on government money are crazy. What is the difference between pernament bureaucracy that point"
Why the left hate the AfD so much
Like in the US, the German government funds a left wing lobby. But of course that is unproblematic because it's what decent human beings do. Yet left wingers go apoplectic when a cent of government money goes to something they dont approve of, like charter schools

I paid for a custom video; it was deleted 24 hours later and site won't refund me my money.
Hey I need some advice, I paid £500 for a custom video on OF. The creator made the video, sent it to me, and then closed their account 24 hours later. As a result I no longer have the video. I was never able to download it either as OF doesn't allow downloading of videos. Can anyone give me some advice? Am I I out of luck here?
EDIT: I keep getting asked the same questions over and over. I'll just knock them out here:
1.) Why spend £500?!
I want a video of a highly specific fetish produced (Lesbian cursed strap-on dildo that causes ahegao, IQ loss, and bimbofication when used.)
2.) Why not get a GF in real life?!
I already slut it up in real life on Tinder and Grindr.
3.) Why waste your money on this?!
I'm flush with cash and I enjoy writing the scripts for my own pornos and paying to get them produced."

Texas dad murdered 7-year-old adopted son over donut sticks - "A monster Texas dad murdered his 7-year-old adopted son and stuffed his lifeless little body in a washing machine because the child ate his donut sticks. Jemaine Thomas, 45, will now spend 50 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to the gruesome killing of little Troy Koehler on July 28, 2022... Koehler’s adoptive mother Tiffany Thomas, 38, also pleaded guilty to her lesser charge of injury to a child in connection with the little boy’s death. Her sentencing hearing is slated for Sept. 10. Thomas threatened to shove Koehler in an oven if he didn’t confess to eating some of her oatmeal cream pies, according to KPRC 2. The couple adopted Koehler in 2019 and the family had a history with Child Protective Services, according to the local media outlet."

Buzz Patterson on X - "HILLARY CLINTON
As some of you know, I was the Air Force Military Aide for Bill Clinton, lived in the White House, traveled everywhere they traveled, and carried the “nuclear football.” As such, I was always in close proximity to both Bill and Hill. Among the military who served in the White House and the professional White House staff, the Clinton administration was infamously known for its lack of professionalism and courtesy, though few ever spoke about it. But when it came to rudeness, it was Hillary Clinton who was the most feared person in the administration. She set the tone. From the very first day in my assignment. When I first arrived to work in the White House, my predecessor warned me. “You can get away with pissing off Bill but if you make her mad, she’ll rip your heart out.” I heeded those words. I did make him mad a few times, but I never really pissed her off. I knew the ramifications. I learned very quickly that the administration’s day-to-day character, whether inside or outside of DC, depended solely on the presence or absence of Hillary. Her reputation preceded her. We used to say that when Hillary was gone, it was a frat party. When she was home, it was “Schindler’s List.” In my first few days on the job, and remember I essentially lived there, I realized there were different rules for Hillary. She instructed the senior staff, including me, that she didn’t want to be forced to encounter us. We were instructed that “whenever Mrs. Clinton is moving through the halls, be as inconspicuous as possible.” She did not want to see “staff” and be forced to “interact” with anyone. No matter their position in the building. Many a time, I’d see mature, professional adults, working in the most important building in the world, scurrying into office doorways to escape Hillary’s line of sight. I’d hear whispering, “She’s coming, she’s coming!” I could be walking down a West Wing hallway, midday, busier than hell, people doing the administration’s work whether in the press office, medical unit, wherever. She’d walk in and they’d scatter. She was the Nazi schoolmarm and the rest of us were expected to hide as though we were kids in trouble. I wasn’t a kid, I was a professional officer and pilot. I said “I’m not doing that.” There was also a period of time when she attempted to ban military uniforms in the White House. It was the reelection year of 1996, and she was trying to craft the narrative that the military was not a priority in the Clinton administration. As a military aide, carrying the football, and working closely with the Secret Service, I objected to that. It simply wasn’t a matter of her political agenda; it was national security. If the balloon went up, the Secret Service would need to find me as quickly as possible. Seconds matter. Finding the aide in military uniform made complete sense. Besides, what commander in chief wouldn’t want to advertise his leadership and command? She finally relented because the Secret Service weighed in. The Clintons are corrupt beyond words. Hillary is evil, vindictive, and profane. Hillary is a bitch. They’re both criminals."

Why are mama shops predominantly owned/managed by Indians : r/askSingapore - "You are correct regarding the origin of the word, it is from Maamaa in Tamil, but it became Mamak due to the pronunciation by the Malays, who tend to add glottal stop at the end of some Tamil words.

Ironic, given that Singaporean Chinese are slammed for mispronouncing and perverting Malay.

The association between pornography use and sexual offending in individuals with a history of sex offenses: A meta-analysis - "Despite over 50 years of research, limited evidence exists regarding a connection between pornography and sexual offending, which individuals are most likely to be affected by pornography, and the broader implications of this purported relationship. Prior meta-analyses have included studies that use a wide range of different methodologies but have not isolated the effects of pornography in samples of individuals that perpetrated a sex offense. We examined the association between pornography (only legal content, child sexual abuse material was not included) and sexual offending in studies that included samples of individuals that had admitted to or been convicted of a sex offense (persons identified as committing a sexual offense (s); PISOs). In addition, we examined several potentially relevant moderator variables that could impact the relationship between pornography and sex offending. Using Robust Variance Estimation, the main effect was non-significant, g = 0.18, 95 % CI [−0.09, 0.46], which further questions whether pornography is associated with various offender populations. However, several moderator analyses generated significant results, including method used to identify PISOs and living status (institutionalized versus living in the community). Tentative conclusions based on these results are discussed, along with implications for future research."
Israel has opened most of its archives to historians relating to the 1948 War. Arab states involved in the war such as Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon have not opened them. Why do they not open them and do we have any idea what might be in them that would stop them from opening them? : r/AskHistorians - "To add to the anecdotes from scholars working on more recent history, even access to ancient artifacts is extremely guarded by countries like Syria and Iraq (and even Turkey). The archives and collections are often not well managed or organized to begin with. It’s how we get headlines every so often with things like new manuscripts of Gilgamesh that would have been at least identified and known by the academic community if these objects were in Western holdings."
