  • Got a good friend of mine from college. He's actually from Cuba. He was a Ted Cruz stan but he thought ana was hot and became a progressive. He loved cenk too because he's an immigrant and related to him at the time. This was 10 years ago.

    He's going back to being a Republican thanks to Ana and I fucking hate it.

    Yeah, sometimes I am quick to go to maliciousness as the reason; I've met some incredibly fucked people in my life and had to file a protective order recently.

    I'll try to be better.

    People like the author scare me. Letting people go through immense pain of not having anesthesia just to make money is some psychopath shit. Or worse, botch a procedure to save time and leave the patient permanently scarred if not dead. All for money.

    I can see why people think journalists like this are in some child sex trafficking ring. I mean there really isn't much lower to go than this.

    I have met someone like this in life and he would rip out your liver if it means getting a promotion. He gave me some very dangerous jobs.








  • I had a barber in the pearl district. Super nice guy that got a data scientists job and was able to propose to his wife. When he left his replacement was the typical portlander redditor; did nothing but talk shit about everyone, including me because I drove an hour to that place because I liked the prior guy so much.

    I get my haircut in hood river now.

    Portland is an awesome place, but man is the reddit base their fucking dumb and hateful. Like even dumber and more hateful than the average redditor.

    I literally have to use direct primary care (pay a subscription fee out of pocket to a doctor) on top of my health insurance because there is no PCP that isn't a NP with availability anywhere within 150 miles.

    My sister is a doctor in a major city and the average wait time is two years to see a doctor with her insurance plan.

    The have and have-nots in healthcare are determined if they can afford concierge medicine or direct primary care.



  • What especially pisses me off about this take is that I am a test engineer for safety software. I sign documents saying that the software I test is safe to use. If it kills someone and I signed off on it, my ass is going to jail. I am upper middle class at best being single; I could not afford a stay at home wife and kids with my student loans.

    If you don't have time to read fucking paperwork that can put you in jail, either your priorities are fucked or the industry you have has fucked priorities. Zero excuse.

    This is what I hate about management consultants that eventually become CEO's like this. They lie like we breathe and are rent seeking vampires. They spend more time sabotaging each other than getting shit done.


  • I dated a girl whose father was very wealthy official in a country that was dealing with ISIS (they emigrated to the US to escape terrorism). Her dad put kidnapping insurance on her.

    As inequality rises, these risks will become higher and higher and there will be fewer places to run.

    The bourgeoise do not have a sense of self preservation; they will do anything but improve standards of living.

    This will come back to bite them.
