That’s super cool

Female psychology understanders will be like, “buy my 40-hour course on negging and how to do it”

According to a study published in 2019, nearly one in five trans people in China reported being forced into conversion therapies.

This and the phrase “electroshock conversion therapy” are burning holes into my skull. This is wild. Also, is it normal for the signs to be in English?

Physician pay only makes up 7.5% of healthcare costs in the US. So while debt relief and elimination of tuition coinciding with a reduction in physician compensation could be a reasonable reform, especially to bring specialists in line with PCPs, there will also have to be protections in place to prevent that downward pressure from creating yet more fertile ground for private equity to consume even more practices.

Is this really the narrative they’re going with? Second time I’ve seen this bullshit about comparing their backgrounds.

I’m glad that you’ve never had a job search take longer than a couple months and that you can’t imagine a situation where someone doesn’t have a traditional support system. Really happy for you. But I don’t think you’re genuinely curious. You don’t get to openly criticize someone’s actions out of an admitted place of ignorance and then end it with, “feel free to correct me” to save face. You’re not entitled to know anything more about Angel’s situation than what they share freely. This is not charity. It is not means tested. It is not stigmatized. And the people giving are not naive, nor do they have any reason to distrust Angel. This is mutual aid. If you’re annoyed by it, just block the community.

Lunch is for wimps. That’s why I make my unpaid intern bring me filet mignon around noon every day.

I’d feel safer in a room with Luigi Mangione than I would in a room with Brian Thompson. And not just because Thompson is dead.

Add it as an emoji and it can be a tagline

I’d be so embarrassed if thousands of people were going through my github repos. That place is a graveyard testament to my inability to finish things.

feel free to ban me if you think killing CEOs isn't cool

Big “loser says what” energy. Good to know we’re operating at about a 3rd grade level.

Even this explanation may be extrapolating too heavily. I think we’re going to have to wait for the trial to really see what happened

I don’t know the one

TIL evolution is bad at deleting legacy code

Yeah one time I traveled to Europe and everyone was just running everywhere. Very efficient.

More! More!

That document is a fucking plague

We all know he would have been a moralist. We don’t need confirmation of this.

Good. More pizza

How do you define what a Nazi is?

This is an odd question in the context of the USSR and WWII. It’s not like we’re debating about Milo Yiannopoulos on Twitter and whether it’s correct to call him a Nazi because technically he wasn’t a member of the party from the early 20th century. “Nazis” here refers to members of the Wehrmacht and the Nazi party. It may also include, as a shorthand, people who were not formally party of the Nazi party but provided material aid to the Nazis. That’s treason in any country, especially during wartime.

Do counter revolutionaries deserve to be sent to worker camps where the conditions are so bad many die?

No. To the extent that imprisoning people is necessary, they deserve humane conditions. The goal should be rehabilitation, but that’s not possible in all circumstances. It’s my understanding that the harsh conditions of Soviet prisons were largely due to wartime scarcity and improved as time went on.

"Send people who don't agree with my world view to worker camps" Doesn't feel like a good thing

“disagreeing with my world view” is a weird way to say “stealing vast swaths of wealth” or “enslaving people” or “invading a sovereign nation” or “committing mass murder of Jews, Romani, queer people, and socialists”. I’m not going to pretend that 100% of Soviet prisoners deserved to be there or that everyone who died deserved to die. For example, the USSR was very progressive on queer issues at its inception, but Stalin later criminalized homosexuality. That was clearly wrong. But to act like the entire system was a systemic way to imprison people for thought crimes is disingenuous. Probably not your intention, but rather because that’s the framing of decades of propaganda surrounding Soviet prisons.
