The irony that phenylephrine intravenous is actually effective at maintaining blood pressure in people who are trying real hard to die on ya. (Our ICU uses it sometimes.)

Preach. I hate the shit, it makes me feel shaky, but god damn does it work.

I only have WhatsApp because I have so many non-American friends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I dragged my mom and sister over to using it, and everyone has been warned that the second I see Meta trying to monetize it, I’m going to whine until they all move to Signal (which has pretty much identical functionality.)

You say as if it weren’t always like that. Because it definitely has always been like that from the dawn of civilization, sadly.

These corporate instruments are quite efficient. Unfortunately you and I just happen to disagree with the rich and powerful about what we should be efficient at doing

Yeah, I sort of feel like something like this would be a horrifying death process followed by an afterlife of “yeah, ok, that was a pretty funny way to go out.”

You can only hope that the end arrives quickly with something like this.

This kind of checking in with yourself during activities is one of the foundational techniques taught in some kinds of therapy as well, like cognitive behavior therapy and dialectic behavior therapy

I just use the kbin mobile web app and it’s fine for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same, every time I see those posts thinking, “Kbin does that.”

Ernest is kinda the best, gotta say. Everyone should buy him a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin

This is the answer. If declining the raise could somehow increase the pay of other workers, I’d be all for it. But it won’t.

You can hate the game and still play it well, OP

Collectively advocate even! Some sort of group, a “union” of like minded employees we could call it

I also recommend the Hybrid Calisthenics channel. He focuses on low impact, easy to get into training options.

“If families were detained, they would be held for short periods of time, perhaps just a few days, and their cases expedited through immigration court”

Not concentration camps. You don’t get to leave a concentration camp after having your day in court. Are detention centers ideal? No. But neither is leaving people in the desert without food, water, or shelter, (or worse, leaving them prey to local vigilantes).

Yes, the Trump administration was keeping people in horrific conditions, forcibly sterilizing women, and separating children from their parents without cause and without tracking. If you have some specific evidence that those abuses continue to this day under the Biden administration, please feel free to share.

I know the question is in bad faith because these are not concentration camps:

Also yes. Aka genderfluid (in my case). Aka it depends on what day it is and which direction the wind is blowing.

Hey, here’s the funny thing about the internet: No one is obligated to engage in questions posed in bad faith.

Here’s what the climate bill contains for anyone actually interested:

Lmfao, completely ignoring the long history of Republican obstruction, deregulation, tax breaks for the rich, and systemic dismantling of the American middle class.

Completely ignoring the accomplishment that was the Affordable Healthcare Act before it was gutted by the Republicans. Ignoring the historic legislation passed by the Biden administration like the Climate Bill and the Infrastructure Bill.

But yeah, Democrats have been the real problem the whole time…

Stop parroting this propaganda that only benefits the right wing destructionists.

Why does no one making this kind of dumbass comment ever acknowledge the very obvious role that Republican obstruction has played in stopping any Democratic attempt to fix this shit in the past 40 years?

Stop gerrymandering, implement approval voting (easier for most people to understand than ranked choice), watch good legislation actually get passed.

In today’s news, people can think about more than one thing at a time. Border policy doesn’t negate the fact that the Climate Bill and the Infrastructure Bill were objectively good, historic pieces of legislation.
