That is a deeply unfortunate genetic mutation. As if life weren't hard enough for them already.

Humans kind of have that with HPV. Get your vaccines!
A lot of "tumors" seen on wild animals are fungal infections from invasive fungal species brought by humans. It really sucks because fungal infections are very hard for mammalian immune systems to fight without help from antifungal medications.
I once got to meet a Tasmanian Devil baby at a zoo. The zookeeper was carrying him around in a little pouch to keep him comfy while his mom was getting a vet checkup. (The picture is one I found on google because the picture I took is buried in some backup folder from about 6 phones ago)
I was about to comment a similar sentiment. I didn't realize I stopped existing or had my gender identity reassigned because I'm on lemmy instead of other social media.
At this point, Israel is a rogue terrorist state that needs to be cut off from all material and financial support until they agree to permanent ceasefires and handing Netanyahu and his cabinet over to the ICC.
He was banned from trying to join any branch of the military because he did so poorly on the ASVAB (and probably also failed a psych eval). While many police departments are deeply corrupt, I don't think any of them want the bad press that would come with hiring him. Maybe he can get hired as a deputy in a sheriff's department run by someone like Arpaio.
"Assault" is shouting and threatening, "battery" is actually making contact. It sounds like she got the pepper spray out in time to prevent him from touching her, which is a very good thing.
Usually the situation they put themselves in is taking a job as a cop and refusing to deescalate any situation.
Not even a sip for me. I was offered small amounts of champagne or wine at special occasions, but I never drank any because I could smell the alcohol on it and didn't want to.
I've just always been some variant of the "mom friend" and after I turned 21, I was still the DD most of the time.
I use Proton when I'm on my university's campus because they switched to using EDUroam for the campus wifi. I used to be a Sys Admin at a different university a while back, and from what I know, EDUroam allows the IT department to monitor basically all of the traffic over the network. I don't know exactly how deep that stuff goes, but if I was doing anything personal or sensitive like banking or whatever, I'd flip on the VPN on my personal computer. I also don't have any personal accounts logged in on the school issued laptop because they have it loaded with institutional spyware. Once I graduate, I'll blank the drive and reinstall the OS to have a decent Lenovo laptop on hand as a spare.
Edit to add: I use Proton because it was the least shady service that I could get for a reasonable price as a student. It is also helpful for finding textbooks. :)
