MS, ALS, and Alzheimer's are probably the diseases I hope they cure the most at some point. Those 3 are just so ruthless and so hard on everyone. Every time I see something like this I'm super excited but I also feel like I've been hearing stuff like this for decades now

This is definitely not an unhinged comment. Not at all.

Not to mention he seems to be confused as to why business owners don't already just layoff a ton of people to send some sort of message and put them in their place.

Hmmm... I wonder why that hasn't happened... its almost as if there was some reason business owners would actually need good workers... That can't be tho, must be something else... 🤔

Second this. I've heard it many many many many times. "You may have to pay but you won't wait and it's the best in the world! People come from all over the world here for treatment!"

I never used Twitter or X or the company formally known as Twitter or whatever the hell we're calling it now but how did the prioritization work before? Was it just sorted by most retweets or likes?

Yeah I was wrestling with this in the same way. It's too hard. That's not even mentioning that cognitive function or mental acuity isn't really a straight or constant line. You could test someone who's off in outer space most days but you test them on the right day they'd ace any cognitive test you put in front of them.

I'm confused... who is taking issue? The only reply I see to the comment is yours and it has 6 upvotes and 0 downvotes. Are certain replies blocked by my instance maybe?

I look forward to Christians saying this is blasphemous and it subsequently being made illegal. As is tradition.

I'm certainly no expert and a self admitted dumbass but I always assumed it was something along the lines of these people get rich and famous, get used to being able to get whatever they want, anytime they want it. Everyone around them tells them they're the shit. Girls (or guys) are falling all over them. But then they find the one thing they want but can't have... And then they kinda just have to have it cause they get everything they want, why would this be any different. So they take it.

SPEAK SLOWLY AND CLEARLY FOR THE SENATOR PLEASE.

Behold and bask in the glory of working from home! Here, all your free time can actually be spent free! No more alt-tabbing to a random Excel spread sheet or dumbass email everytime the floor boards outside your crap ass cubicle squeak. No more desperately searching for mildly enjoyable activities that are only slightly conspicuous when viewed from over your shoulder. Revel in a world where if you bust ass and finish what you need to you are actually rewarded with the free time to cuddle your dog, take a nap, binge stardew valley, or just do absolutely nothing.

The fact that it is for this exact reason working from home is hated by old farts is so unbelievably frustrating it's difficult to put in words. I know they like to word it differently like "lack of productivity" or "lowered team dynamic" (which have both since been repeatedly disproven by what little research we have) or some crap but we all know they just can't stand not knowing exactly what we're doing at all times. It honestly feels like they're just irritated that workers are genuinely happy for once.

If it's a skill/competitive game I totally get watching. Like if I like basketball I'm gonna watch Steph Curry or an NBA game cause I'll learn how awesome people play the game. If I liked valorant or something i could totally see watching the top pros (or a really high level YouTuber) or comp matches from tourneys and stuff.

I feel like this is pretty much the path the large majority of YouTubers take. They gain a following. Stay consistent over the years. Slowly grow. And after a while people just watch because that's what they've always done for years. The person could post a video of them just like peeling a potato and plenty people would still watch just cause.

What do you mean? The article that was pulling the data used "household income" as the data set... It is exclusively talking about household income.

True for one person but this is household income. A married couple both making $50k would fall into this. While that is definitely not poor by any means. I think it is fair to say that it would be a bit of a stretch to call a person in the us today making $50k "rich."

Throw some good books my way! I'm always on the lookout

This article is bogus. It doesn't even mention the power or thoughts and prayers once!

Lol the top comment after this is "me first"

Honestly, how in the holy hell is this not automatically done?? This person is in a pretty powerful position and makes very important decisions. They absolutely need to be coherent. Do they not have some sort of stipulation that if you consistently stroke out on the job and can't even speak or... do anything really, you have to step away from the position until you can prove you are healthy enough to return?

This just blows my mind. Dude could be making monumental decisions that affect the country for decades and not even know what planet he's on.

"but I'll still vote for you for some reason!"
