There only being that one playbook is the exact reason why I have a patch on my backpack that reads: “Evil is boring”

We have to pay for the services we use somehow. I’d rather it be cash than the details of my entire life. But the money to operate those services has to come from somewhere

“Women are specifically stating that the direct reason they’re choosing to delay pregnancy is the fall of Roe creating emergency health concerns.”

“I dunno, are you sure you can believe what women say? Did you check the “real” data?”

The irony that phenylephrine intravenous is actually effective at maintaining blood pressure in people who are trying real hard to die on ya. (Our ICU uses it sometimes.)

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

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

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.

“nuke the unevolved savage freaks” is the most blatant example of standard issue online “it’s ok to say racist things about Indians” I have ever seen. I have no idea how anyone in 2023 could not have a single brain cell to make them rethink a statement like that before clicking the comment button.

Are you fucking kidding me with this racist shit?

Oh man, let me introduce you to my absolute favorite used book seller:

Also, construction leftovers on eBay are a great way to get sink faucets, light fixtures, etc. for a house.

But it’s also about cost. Nuclear is far more expensive upfront, more expensive to maintain, and more expensive to decommission. Cheap, agile renewables will be an easier option for the vast majority of the planet

(I mean, we’re talking about radioactive water from one nuclear power plant. I’m pretty sure the adage applies in this case.)

The solution to pollution is dilution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, this is my takeaway as well. I’m willing to bet teens aren’t opposed to Android itself, but rather “oh your mom only got you the $200 budget phone lol”

Seriously, the handful of times I’ve checked back in on Reddit recently just made me think, “Wow I hate it here.”

I’m so much happier on the Fediverse.

Without this feature, I wouldn’t have known that Yeah Yeah Yeahs and PJ Harvey released new albums. So I’m torn. On the one hand, I’m happy artists I already love can still reach me; on the other hand, I hate that smaller artists I don’t know about yet still have to pay to play

Understaffing, penny-pinching, forcing medical professionals to take on more and more work with no help, to say nothing of increased pay. These working conditions hurt patients chronically.

That’s why doctors and nurses strike. Especially THESE doctors - the new ones who just graduated from medical school. They’re the single most exploited group of people working in healthcare when you account for how little they are paid in comparison to how much they’re expected to work and how much revenue they generate.

In the US we call them resident doctors. In the UK junior doctors. I absolutely support their strike

Hunga Tunga Hunga Ha’apai didn’t help either. Instead of just the usual global cooling sulfur dioxide, this particular volcano was under water enough that it launched massive amounts of water vapor into the atmosphere, which has greenhouse effects. Add that all together on top of the chronic climate change and you get this summer.
