Day 9 -- Blood

As a commonly shared celebratory drink at gatherings and feasts, so-called "yotie wine" was made from the fermented blood of any beast large enough to make for a satisfying hunt, mixed with just enough anticoagulant venom to give it a kick.

I mean, I'm against routine circumcision because it's a pointless and potentially injury causing practice that offers MARGINAL benefits AT BEST.

But trying to ban it by saying it makes kids autistic is the weirdest dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

As well as this, I feel quite strongly that the increased prominence in recent years of social media influencers who engage in nothing but ragebait content and harassment has proverbially sucked all the air out of the room, content mills producing bullshit at speed who dominate gaming conversations.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015

Justice Department lawyers reposted President Trump’s statements and may have inadvertently endangered their prosecution of Luigi Mangione, violating the judge’s explicit orders that DOJ employees refrain from public comment about the case. trib.al/b9U7CY1

Another cybersecurity awareness tip, and this is aimed at furries: Nigerian "Furries".

You might have received a random DM from someone praising your fursona, and push you to commission them.

There's a community tracking them, and more info on: scamtracking.org/home

Since it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, your employer may try to test your awareness skills. And if you fail, you'll likely go through additional training.

But in a real scenario, you could be the sole reason a company goes out of business.

Nobody wants that guilt.

Language hack - When talking about "autism", replace autism with "tall" and see if it makes sense:

"The tall community has opinions about new tall research that came out recently, about the increased risk of tall."

Now write it correctly, using tall, and then replace "tall" with "autistic".
