Ms. Breen expressed skepticism about their safety and benefits for pregnant women.
“Well, a doctor doesn’t always know best,” she said.
This is accurate, ma’am. On this topic however, a doctor does know better than you.

Yeah. You’re supposed to be aggressive as a journalist; you don’t have to be nice. But everyone was fine with him being in her face and asking questions; that’s his job. Then when he entered a physical contest with the cop to try to get where he was going, oh look! It became an issue.
- Comment on Canadian journalist arrested for dissent 10 months ago:
It’s easily possible that the cop engineered the whole thing by standing in a strategic spot knowing full well that Mr. Safarihat was going to walk right into him. Cop was still standing still at the time of the bumpage.
Also, I’m from the US, so I was floored by how polite the arrest was. Cop #1 was downright passive-aggressive about it. Down here that move of saying “What are you talking about? How am I under arrest?” combined with physical resistance meets with at the bare minimum getting slammed against the car and your arms manhandled around behind your back. Usually you get thrown face-down on the pavement with a bunch of people on top of you too.
I’m not saying it should to be that way, that’s just what I’ve observed. Up in Canada they literally let go of him for a while and had a whole conversation with him about it during while he got to keep his microphone in hand and wave it around at them.

*for pushing a police officer
In the video, the policeman is very clearly just standing there, doing his job providing security, and the guy walks straight into the cop and then tries to claim “you pushed into me.”
- Comment on "Bots temporarily blocked?" 10 months ago:
Ayyy, that’s wonderful! Thank you, that’s awesome. It still doesn’t work (my log says things like "failed: Failed to get chain object lemmy.world/comment/6479326"), but presumably that’s a problem on the kbin side, and I’m happy digging into it and seeing what I can find. If I have any questions or anything I’ll reach out, and thanks again for the quick response + resolution.
- Comment on "Bots temporarily blocked?" 10 months ago:
You saw that this isn’t a “bot” in the normal sense of the word, but just a kbin instance doing federation, right?
I mean I’m fine with however you want to limit access; I’ll leave it as “kbinBot” so it’ll get blocked, if that’s really what you want, but completely preventing a kbin instance from federating with lemmy.world because of how the user-agent looks seems like maybe not the right thing to do. (Assuming that’s what’s going on – kbin.social identifies itself as kbinBot also, and its posts seem like they’re going through, so maybe I’m just misunderstanding something about the situation.)

- Comment on They didn't go to the shop floor and say "Who here is a gun nut?" 1 year ago:
Your language in the comments are also very divisive for someone claiming to want to break idealogical lines.
Yeah, probably so. That’s how I feel about it though. I literally just posted it because I thought it was a really insightful and important message and one I wanted to share. It’s like a celebration of these victories that working people have been able to achieve recently, and an important insight into reasons it was able to happen and how to keep it going. Then I got this swell of disapproval about it. I interpreted that as stemming from people being addicted to their divisiveness and unsympathetic to the victories of anyone who doesn’t perfectly agree with them ideologically. So yeah I got sort of embittered about it with my response.
I think you’re right and I apologize about being combative about it, that’s probably not productive, you’re right. But it’s hard for me to be apologetic about the reasons for the reaction.

The exact kind of person I’m whining about would instead be going here and demanding to know what each person trying to upvote thought about trans rights, or policing in the United States, before they were willing to accept the upvote.
I think anyone who can watch this video and have a negative reaction to it has something severely wrong with their thought processes. If that’s whining, you better call the whaaaaambulance for me because I feel extremely whiny about it.

I welcome your downvotes, you short sighted fucks.
I tried to find this to send a picture of it, but I couldn’t, so I’ll describe it: There are some panels in “The Cartoon History of the World” showing some revolutionary movement, where the revolutionaries spent all their energy arguing amongst one another over factional issues, and it shows them getting led off at gunpoint still arguing their issues amongst one another, and then their little feet hanging from the gallows up above the frame, with speech bubbles still coming down from above showing them arguing with each other. And that’s the end of that revolution.
That’s you guys. Good luck.

- Comment on How the 'lazy girl job' took over work 1 year ago:
So… I’ve dealt with people who take this girl’s approach to their work, when their work getting done well was necessary for something I needed, and I definitely didn’t like it. I also think this girl in the article is extremely at risk of having her job replaced by an AI and winding up behind the 8 ball when that happens and the market gets that much more challenging.
That said, for as bad as it is, I think this is actually closer to the answer than is everyone working for Amazon and peeing in bottles and $26k per year and no health insurance.
