you ever take a uquiz and realize halfway through that you don’t respect the author and their opinion is useless to you
Derry Girls is an interesting show where they flip the general media dynamic of a group of guys + one(1) girl and instead make it a group of girls + one(1) guy, but still make the flaws of each of the girls the same flaws and characterizations generally associated with similar types of male characters in this group dynamic and also give their male character the flaws and characterizations generally associated with the singular female in the group dynamic. From Erin the stand out main character having the characterization of a Ferris Bueller type with the same fatal flaw of over confidence and compensation, to Michelle having a Stifler from American Pie type characterization with the same flaws of general skeevyness and empty headedness, to Orla having the characterization of Kramer from Seinfeld with the flaws of general weirdness and lack of boundaries, to Claire having the characterization of Brian Johnson the nerd from the Breakfast club whose fatal flaws include caring too much about how authority sees her and often falling vitcim to peer pressure, and of course James has the characterization of every female character stuck in a group of guys with the flaws of needing to posture about they're gender expression and they're sexuality while also having to have interests in common with the main group that justifies their existence with them (the love of "girlie" music) and a familial connection to one of the core four further justifying his existence in the group while making his fatal flaw the fact that he is the "logical" one that doesn't generally want to go along with the crazy plan a la Katara in Avatar the Last Airbender, in this essay I will
With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.

According to the lawsuit, Infante began exhibiting heatstroke symptoms including confusion, altered mental state, dizziness and loss of consciousness. His friend and co-worker Joshua Espinoza began pouring cold water over him, trying to cool him down. A foreman insisted Espinoza call the police, claiming Infante’s bizarre behavior was due to drugs, and the foreman pushed for a drug test when emergency medical services arrived.
Infante later died in a hospital from severe heatstroke and had a recorded internal temperature of 109.8F (43.2C). The Center for Disease Control states a body temperature of 103F (39.4C) or higher is a main symptom of heatstroke.
The lawsuit comes after Texas’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, signed a controversial bill into law on 14 June that prohibits local municipalities from enacting heat protection standards for construction workers. The bill nullifies ordinances previously passed in Austin and Dallas that mandated 10-minute breaks for workers every four hours. A similar ordinance was being considered in San Antonio before the state bill was passed.

It’s always kind of been a bullshit “symptoms syndrome,” “go away shut up ‘diagnosis’” to me, which was NOT helped by there being no treatment ever offered other than “exercise and improve your mental health you’re just lazy and depressed and anxious and feeling exertion makes you more anxious (saying ‘exertion/exercise intolerance’ makes you go to hell for real) go to therapy” so like. actually seeing solid well researched evidence that no I’m not just a pathetic stupid clumsy weak person with no distress tolerance as I’ve very much internalized…. I am undone.
