  • Preach. I hate the shit, it makes me feel shaky, but god damn does it work.

  • How dare you! I would NEVER!!

    (Unwanted cookies on the other hand, fair game ¯(ツ)/¯)

  • Am nurse. Can confirm. Scrubs is right about a LOT of things

  • That's a nice looking Nebelung you got there. They're such beautiful cats

  • A statement like this should get you instantly booted out of Congress

  • There are so many consumers MONOPOLIES now that products that aren’t good or exploit their users can still have a healthy market.

    FTFY

  • They can buy themselves a few years at best without a functioning supply chain. We all depend on society, no matter how much they like to deny it

  • They think they do. No amount of money will protect a person from the collapse of a civilization. Never has, never will. Their plans are very much predicated on the assumption that markets will somehow magically continue to function after the general populace has lost all faith in them

  • Their content promotion algorithms are not protected by section 230. Those algorithms are the real problem, pushing more and more radical content onto vulnerable minds. (The alt-right YouTube pipeline is pretty well documented. Reddit, I think, less so. But they still promote "similar content")

  • When one single individual who isn't the executive can obstruct the entire system like Tubbs and Turtle, it's time to burn the system and start over

  • Never go into healthcare. That's all I'm saying.

  • It's a rather bizarre argument, essentially saying "it's not the whole solution so it's not a solution at all"

    Lawdamercy, can you please say it louder for the people in the back whinging that they refuse to vote for Biden because his Climate Bill wasn't perfectly everything all at once? In the face of the Republican denialist obstructionism, it's pretty fucking miraculous. The ultimate solution to climate change is going to be a patchwork quilt of a million different tiny solutions

  • I always struggled to imagine what dodos must have looked like irl until I saw these things. They almost look make-believe! Happy to see them reintroduced.

  • Oh noes! If he pays more in taxes he might be just regular old dirty rich instead of obscenely-no-one-could-ever-contrubute-enough-to-the-world-to-justify-this-level-of-wealth-accumulation rich. I feel so sorry for him.

  • This was not a good year for me to pick up Kim Stanley Robinson's "Ministry of the Future" book

  • AirBNB was great back when it was just a viable means for finding a room in someone's house to crash for a few days. Then the profiteers found it and AirBNB sacrificed their entire reputation for short-sighted greed. Add with everything in the past 20 years

  • Except no one pushed for business as usual? Quarantines and higher level pandemic interventions are not appropriate for an endemic infection. We should be vaccinating and masking when there's an increase in Covid infections. But we should also be doing that for influenza and we don't.

    I'm not arguing semantics. Pandemic vs. endemic is a factual epidemiological definition. The problem is that we routinely choose not to deal with dangerous endemic infections like influenza. We should always have been doing more.

  • Vivekananda is one of the most brilliant minds in modern India, contemporary with Gandhi, and only less well known because he died so young.

    And "what that is" is that you've blindly accepted outsiders' racist assessments of your people. You really need to question that shit:

  • "WE HAVE THE WORST GENETICS"

    Holy SHIT, my dude. You need to take a SERIOUS step back and question the eugenicist colonial bullshit you've internalized. I would advise taking a look at Swami Vivekananda's assessments of India and Indian people.
