It is probably still effective, unless it was stored in truly awful conditions. Expiration dates for chemical pharmaceuticals (as opposed to biologicals, antibodies, or vaccines) are (in general) more about degradation of the active substance creating potentially toxic byproducts than they are about significantly reducing the amount of active substance.

I'm pretty sure that there's nothing cute about explosive diarrhea. Unless you're a fetishist so extreme that you're unwelcome even here. Q.E.D.

Nah, it died of mercury poisoning. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/rfk-jr-says-he-suffered-from-a-parasitic-brain-worm-and-mercury-poisoning/ar-BB1m3eDP

My point wasn't that I was subjected to similar circumstances (I wasn't, or I'd have said so). It was that the perpetrators of bad behavior are not in any way limited to people of a certain religion. Here in the states, the great majority of anti-LGBTQ bullying is done by christians of one stripe or another. Yes, kids do bring weapons to school. Yes, kids do get moved to different schools to avoid bad situations. And yes, there are neighborhoods where people who don't fit in to that neighborhood's culture simply don't go. Over here, that last situation is mostly about black/white racial tensions.

Yes, it is troubling. But far from unique to Muslims. Over here in the states, things of that nature are happening too - but when I was bullied, it was by plain old white christian kids who looked (more or less) exactly like me, and by black kids (who were the worst bullies at my primary school). In that time and place, Muslims were far more likely to be the recipients of bullying than the perpetrators.

I appreciate the corrections regarding the difference between race and religion. I actually did mean "racism" when I wrote it - the rhetoric on which I was commenting gave me the impression ("comes out as") that its author's intention was xenophobic "other bashing" rather than any intelligent discussion of the dynamics of people of different religious backgrounds. I specifically chose to make a comment instead of ignoring it, specifically because I find the assertion "ive been studying islam over 25 years and have worked among them and its only by doing so you begin to understand theyre not in the west to integrate" to be potentially interesting.

Indeed, as a headline in a US news source (and we all know how much reportage they have of anything overseas, i.e. bupkis) reveals, the real hazard in London would appear to be... (wait for it...) People with Swords. From the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/30/london-hainault-sword-attack/?utm_campaign=wp_evening_edition&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F3d90564%2F66315bf5f121ba062b185aaf%2F5a5bbbecae7e8a0f03325814%2F25%2F43%2F66315bf5f121ba062b185aaf

You really need to clarify whether all of that was in the dream, or whether the part after the "and so" actually happened. Also, if you want to discuss bugchasing more than obliquely, please use the report function to ask a moderator to move this topic to the Backroom. -
On the other hand, if the media report that pro-Palestinian protesters are "blocking access to Jewish students" when really the protesters are blocking the access of everyone, then the media are definitely contributing to the problem. Hence the need to assess the facts carefully before condemning anyone. On BZ we try VERY HARD not to contribute to hatred, propaganda, and other things that harm our community. Certain forums get extra attention from the moderation staff for that reason.

He's in the UK - mentioned offhandedly in the first post in the thread. I had to look for it, though; it seemed initially that the information was not available. Presuming, of course that his current residency is the same as his "home country", which it might well not be. Does beg the question of what traumatic horrors the local Muslim residents have inflicted on London. At least by comparison with other maladies.

Did you try any other sites that use one of the new top-level domains? It might simply be that whatever local/regional ISP you were connected to hasn't implemented that system yet. It's not insanely new, but still less than a decade old if I remember right.

My answer to the OP's title question: no, I won't. Firstly, we have troubles of our own over on this side of the pond. Secondly, fundamentalist Mosaic religions of any of the three main branches are prone to totalitarianism, discrimination, and denigration of the "other", and as such I despise them all more or less equally. If I pay a bit more attention to Christianity it's because I live in West-By-God-Virginia and see it every damned day. If Judaism has less blood on its hands it's because they've been dispersed over the face of the Earth for the last two thousand years, so they haven't had the luxury of armies, Crusades, and Jihads. Thirdly, the hypothetical is extremely unlikely in the European Union as it exists today. And let's not forget that Spain has been there already, though it was a while back.

Somehow I never read this whole thing before. The characterization is beautiful! 💓

You had the status updates disabled on your profile. I have enabled them. It should work now. I'm a little puzzled, because I was under the impression that members could always add a status themselves, and that the enable/disable feature was only for other people. @rawTOP would know for sure.

Is there a way to see all of your profile views over time?
viking8x6 replied to parvenu's topic in Tips, Tricks, Rules & Help
I don't know of one. If you had a private message thread with them, you can view your entire inbox (there's a button at the bottom of the recent private message pop-up window).- 1 reply

To attach a photo to your forum post, just use the paperclip tool in the lower left, or the "Other Media" button in the lower right, of the post. Note that there is a disk space limit on your aggregate attachments. You can get around this by posting your images in the galleries and then attaching them to the post. It can be rather finicky to get this to work, but the basic idea is to use the "Insert Existing Attachment" choice from the "Other Media" button, and then select your gallery image as the source.

Reminds me of my student days. We slept on futons on the floor, and when one bought the futon it had a couple of straps that held it rolled up for storage. They were about an inch wide by four feet long strips of heavy cotton fabric. And of course once the futon was unrolled for sleeping, they were conveniently available for other purposes. It was a trivial matter to insert a couple of screw eyes into the baseboards...
