  • When life brings you to the point where you cannot sweat the small stuff anymore, it's liberating and you better keep it as a habit. I did.

  • I'm sure housing will be super affordable for all those service industry workers that will be needed to keep this place running. /s

  • Yes but according to him (or his lawyer) that's all they have to choose from.

  • I do not endorse limiting food for jailed folks but I find it ironic that the person that was on drugs/stimulants all the time is so attentive to their diet.

  • Context: SBF is limited to PBJ sandwiches and water because jail won't accommodate his vegan diet.

  • Ngl I never thought I would get sick of popcorn...

  • I'm sure there's plenty of examples but I'm going to share one from my work experience.

    We had a patient who survived a really bad car accident but their jaw was broken in 4 (four) places. One of those cases when the doctor will wire your mouth shut leaving a small hole for the straw so you can drink your soup for the next x weeks.

    The patient had a facial reconstructive surgery coming and their surgeon ordered an MRI of their jaw to see where the pieces were before cutting them open. The patient, unfortunately, had one of those cheapo insurance plans that were provided by their employer. Said insurance denied the MRI authorization 3 (three!) times due to "lack of medical necessity". It took us literal hours of arguing with that arsehole adjustor and their supervisors on the phone until they finally approved it.

  • Meanwhile PG&E: These are rookie numbers

  • Dear mods, can we please pin this one at the top?

  • Pretty standard newspeak in Russia now. Don't say explosion, say clap, ruble is not falling it has negative growth etc.

  • The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. Feels heavy at first but really captivating as you go.

  • I like the most recent The Verge variant: Twitter, X, or whatever it’s currently called...

  • Because it was called after Lemmings.

    In a 2020 post, Lemmy's co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. "It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that."

  • To put it roughly there's a lot of old folks receiving or about to receive retirement pensions but not enough young working folks to pay taxes to make those pensions happen. They still have plenty of people but not enough taxpayers to support the rest of the population.

    Edit: and they realized it too late.

  • I'm so glad you had such an amazing day!
