- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 1 day ago:
But at least it’s a conversation you can work with “oh yeah it’s so nice we should go do X” or “yeah it’s crazy out there, we should stay in and watch a movie and snuggle” the point of small talk is to open avenues of conversation… I think people just don’t know how to have conversations anymore and chalk it up to “not liking small talk”

Generally a good thing to be attracted to the person you’re fucking

As a person who has had a double lung transplant, being “useful to society” isn’t one of the dozens of criteria you must have

I have cystic fibrosis so I’m a professional patient since birth. I don’t actually believe most doctors are sadist, maybe a good chunk of surgeons though… I think it’s more that med school is its own sort of brain washing, the worship of protocol and deep seated beliefs of the quality of their knowledge churns out doctors who have been through the ringer and can become self righteous because of it, it’s incredibly rigorous, you’re sleep deprived, you’re being fed knowledge for hours and hours a day… it makes you incredibly susceptible to accepting knowledge without question. A lot of them need to believe what their doing is humane, is correct, that thier knowledge is valid so it justifies their whatever is happening and their knowledge also already told them how much this hurts, they don’t get knowledge from patients just information.
The way doctors are trained is a huge part of the problem, the way patient care is approached is just as bad, it goes back to academia as well, most studies do not include women in any capacity so their experiences are not reflected in the knowledge doctors do have. I think most doctors are normal people with good and bad traits and approach medicine in the way they were taught to, medicine as an institution simply does not value the experience of the patient, only the outcome of the treatment on the physical body, as if the mind, where pain happens to happen, is divorced from the body.

I’ve literally never heard anyone say this and I have dozens of friends over the years dealing with these things.

I live in the PNW, it’s like nature conjures up clouds to place directly over any campsite. People here act like the rain makes it better and will tell you to bring your own blue skies, a blue tarp to hang over all your stuff
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 1 week ago:
All the President’s Men (1976)
A movie about the Watergate scandal and the men who reported on it. Beautiful, well shot film, gave me a ton of nostalgia to see the world be “normal” again as an elder millennial. Obviously the story is interesting. Absolutely holds up, looks good and it’s wild how much Robert Redford looks like Brad Pitt
I liked how the dialogue was shot also, slips of the tongue or partially misspoken lines were left in and it made it feel more real

Honestly if you actually accept and embrace this and start treating your body better because you realize it’s actually in charge and taking care of it takes care of you life gets a lot better

- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier." 1 week ago:
WFH enabled so many Americans who are disabled to actually hold a job, a job they wanted, and this is a direct attack on disabled employees and disabled people. WFH is inherently more accessible so you end up with more disabled employees, which cost your work sponsored health insurance to go up, which they do not want, so they erect this barrier of being in the office to prevent people who need to work from home from being employed there. Disallowing WFH is explicitly to get around the ADA
RTO is ableism
- Comment on Is andor still worth watching if I've never seen anything else Star Wars? 1 week ago:
I watched season one because I liked Rogue One and my spouse liked Andor a lot but I found it pretty boring. The children actors early on are terrible and there’s so much that should have been edited out/replaced with content to drive the plot. I personally don’t recommend it, I won’t be watching season two, after watching all of season one I still give zero fucks about any of the characters so I don’t care what happens

Women are just aware of status symbols as men are, except we appreciate different status symbols then men… you can use your money to, workout, get fit and ask your trainer these questions, for example

- Comment on Reality vs. male delusion 2 weeks ago:
To quote Marylin Monroe - Don’t you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn’t marry a girl just because she’s pretty, but my goodness, doesn’t it help? from gentleman prefer blondes. Everyone would love a partner with money, very few people are actively seeking a poor partner, like “be poor” isn’t really an attribute you see often on people’s lists, there’s nothing wrong with “liking money” if it’s part of building a life with someone right? I thought it was just calling the dude weak/ugly and his only hope was try to offer something else lol idk I didn’t see it as misogynistic, more like dunking on the dude by saying these women aren’t impressed bro, try something else

Almost like different countries are unique with unique people, places and problems… but that seems to be a nuanced idea so you’d probably reject it

- Comment on Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected for 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet 2 weeks ago:
So many tech bros on copium rn acting like their jobs will never go away, but their bosses have zero loyalty to them and will work tirelessly to replace them with AI. What does it matter if it’s a worse product, or barely functional, if that’s the only option it’ll just be the norm. Companies make and kill products and services all the time, it’s a revolving door, they buy good services just to cannibalize and destroy them. Once AI moves past “vibe coding” nearly all of these jobs will be obliterate over night, it’s only a matter of time on our current trajectory
