This comment is for anyone who is experiencing nuclear-phobia, kinda like I do, to which I strictly mean living with a state of fear or dread about a nuclear apocalypse, this development does puts the world one step closer. It’s okay to be scared by that, I know I am. It doesn’t mean the world is one step away from a nuclear apocalypse. The world has been closer to the brink of nuclear war before and we’re all still here. It’s okay to breathe.
While I do agree that it, at times, definitely stepped into ‘dumb femminism’ as you put it. I also acknowledge that it was a movie and to do a discussion on feminism justice it would require a lot more than 2 hours. So a lot got simplified, sometimes too much. I disagree with you that it was a constant attack towards men. The movie went wayyyyy out of its way to make it clear they were attacking patriarchal systems, not men in general. That’s Ken’s whole arc, he’s suffering under patriarchy too. He just also gets the benefits of the patruarchy while he’s suffering. If I had any criticism about the film it was how much it tried to avoid criticizing capitalism and corporate culture’s role.

It really reminds me of all those static and velocity pressure calculations I had to do in undergrad, until I got the degree.
This might have been acceptable 20 years ago but it’s not a strong enough policy today. Data theft happens all the time and it’s in the interests of a company who’s security has been breached to not tell you that your data has been taken. You should assume that at anytime someone has several examples of your login credentials, not just one. You should use a password manager that isn’t Chrome, Firefox, Safari, ect.
‘Capitalism is the worst from of economy, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.’ - modified Winston Churchill quote. While I know how I use the quote in my head isn’t how Churchill intended, to me it means don’t settle for something just because it’s the best option that’s currently available.
They, right now, are comparing Marxists to Evangelical Christians and are circlejerking about it, lol.
In what way are they comparing the two? Doing a comparison of Marxists against Evangelical Christians could be valid depending on the context of the comparison. Marx had a bit to say on religion’s role in the class struggle.
I was talking to a business owner the other day, and she offered me a wearhouse job out of the blue. Talking about how she can’t find good help, and how everyone slacks off or stops showing up on time. I refused but before I left I asked her maybe she has been looking for employees in the wrong place. If they’re all dumb and lazy, the common element is either her or wherever she’s looking. Needless to say she did not agree with my analysis and then called me dumb and lazy, but hey sometimes it’s just a failure to communicate. Some men, you just can’t reach. So you get what we had here last week. Which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it! And, now I don’t like, it anymore than you men.
The only reason why cats aren’t hunting us down right now is because we’re too big to be prey. I read somewhere a long time ago that domestic cats have one of the highest predation success rate in the mammalian class. Meaning once they choose to actually try to hunt something they usually get it.
Working from home is also considerably safer. The most dangerous part of most people’s work day is their drive to and from work. If that time had to be covered by workplace injury insurance, management would be begging for as many people as possible to stay home just to keep insurance costs down.
Tipping my landlord, hell no! I did tip a live in superintendent at one building I lived in every Christmas. Dude lived a rough life but somehow found his way to maintaining an old building, and he was great at it. If you saw him on the street you’d assume he was homeless, but infact he kept a building housing many people running. He was very friendly, kind, and respectful. He was an exception, I’d give him a small gift, usually chocolate and a small gift card. He was a very good dude and that deserved to be acknowledged.

"For those who don’t know, In the US, the two political parties basically switched sides at one point. I only skimmed, but here’s an article about it:

But I’d rather look at what modern people are doing and saying, than muse about what older generations would have wanted or done."
What is your benchmark for success? A brain chip that can augment reality? In my opinion the real potential for a brain chip is more of a technology to expand accessibility to people who can’t control their bodies. Also in my opinion, no one should trust Elon Musk or anything he makes so Neural Link I don’t think highly of. The potential to provide people with severe mobility challenges another means to interact with the world is something worth developing. That I can see happening in a decade or two. A general purpose brain chip, yeah a hundred years plus, if ever.
You like living in the danger zone don’t you?
While your idealism is enviable, it’s also very nieve.
Where are you talking about and comparing to what? Cause I see a lot of people dying in the streets because of mental illness or drug addiction when I take the subway to work. We don’t throw them away like ancient Sparta but we definitely don’t come close to providing the services they need to the things they need to begin to get off the street. Cause the solution now is put the homeless in prison and that’s going just fine right? …Right?
I think people misunderstand this and that you explained it well. It wasn’t a court that struck down the video, it was YouTube. I’m not sure though what American law has to say about monolithic platforms like YouTube and hosting public domain content.
I have never found a skateboard shoe that’s lasted more than a year regardless of price. A solid pair of walking shoes however is very different.
I’ve always had a pair of these laying around for decades. I use them for walking my husky and they last about two years. They don’t look great but honestly I don’t care how my shoes look when I’m walking my dog.
So do not say to them I’ll talk to you when you’re acting like an adult. Patronizing a patient or family member will always end up badly. Just like it is not your responsibility to go into a burning room to save a patient, it is not your responsibility to endure physical and sexual abuse. Unfortunately, physical and sexual abuse is rampant in the healthcare sector and is something that every health care professional needs to learn to work with. That said, your facility should have a policy in place for just such an occasion. They should have educated you on it and you should never have any worries about when you use it. You should talk to your supervisor, the senior nurses, or your union rep so they can show you what to do. You shouldn’t be making decisions when that happens, you should be just following protocol.
