Anecdotal but man has speeding on the lodge gone down a lot since gas prices spiked

@romlib_ I don’t think we disagree on value, we both clearly value life and dignity in it. The question is simply should MAID really be an option to begin with in society or is it a symptom that we as society are treating the sick/disabled so poorly they would rather kill themselves.

@2WordWisdom The idea that she was raped by migrants, or that she was pressured because her organs were promised to others, or that she chose MAID due to mere depression appear to be lies from what I read about this case.

95% of these are terminally ill and the rest suffered from incredible pain in other ways. Preventing their torture is a black mirror episode apparently because you read one story online about maid being improperly recommended. Let's ban all medicine until malpraxis is 0%.

@romlib_ If your opinion is “since they are disabled and society isn’t helping them cope with their disability then we should allow them to kill themselves” instead of “we should work on turning a society that more readily assists them” I don’t think we’ll reach an agreement between us

@romlib_ I didn’t speak on how she got injured or if she had a disability. I am saying she had doubts at the end and guilt was used to convince her to move forward. Disabled people deserve to live and suicidal ideation in these communities are common and shouldn’t be held against them.

@Millionsofmarks @TMZ He did the NPC natural open and novice. So he actually was best on stage there. Based on his build he really isn’t juicing

@TMZ In what category? I'm sorry but that body looks so average. Did he win just because he's related to Arnold or genuinely win because of his body? I think it's the former or it's a very small or low level unknown competition event.

@romlib_ It’s a topic in Europe now because Spain just approved and enacted maid on a rape victim. With reports saying she had doubts and got convinced because “her organs already got promised to people who really need them” which is very morally dubious use of sympathetic guilt

@2WordWisdom If that's a real problem in Canada I could be more sympathetic towards canadian maid-skeptics talking about such things. I feel more frustrated however by americans/euros like DHH that seemingly just mindlessly fearmonger about this.

@2024dion I do this in my emails already. I disabled all of words auto transform of -- to —

I think there's going to be a trend where writers who have long loved the em dash will lean into writing it as a set of en dashes (--) to demonstrate that they're not using AI. To the non-discerning reader (ie the espn dot com audience of this article), any use of the em dash is an automatic signal that the text is ai generated.

@romlib_ But there is a major frustration in the anti-maid camp because the Canadian government has been taunting maid as a success and pushing more money into it. The “fear mongering” is a response to the govt not being open to discussion. They are providing unreasonable responses

@2WordWisdom I understand the concerns and I think reasonable discussion on this is great, I wouldn't want people to feel pressured into this god forbid. The main issue I have is this mindless fearmongering that makes reasonable discussion impossible.

@romlib_ Since RFND has no medical definition we are seeing the track 1 qualifier expanding in practice. That is something to be concerned about.

@romlib_ Hey, I just wanted to inform you that it’s not terminally ill people. The definition is reasonably foreseeable natural death which is not a medical definition. Inside of that subset using terminally ill definition we get closer to only 30% of the 95.5%

@jonbrooks Every march they say this. Let’s wait, there are some strong headwinds

Pipelines are drying up. I’m talking to lenders. Brokers. Top agents. Everyone is saying the same thing: It’s slowing fast.

@catholicpat Lib cath. Today was no king’s protest day event.

Lib cath or far-right integralist call it

Offering euthanasia to depressed people is state-sponsored murder. There is no ambiguity. It is murder.

@bankertobuilder We actually are working on spec designs for a project not too dissimilar to this.

Pleased to announce the world’s first mixed-use data center AI data processing on the first floor, luxury apartments on floors 2-4, and a spacious parking garage for tenants Breaking ground on this just 50 miles outside the city center of Olathe, Kansas A peaceful paradise for commuters!

@ParagonRadio @2024dion lol, okay

@2024dion That baby is gonna forever change the way you look at everything, the safe and sanitized suburbs are gonna shine like a city up on a hill

Six month appointment yesterday. The baby is in the 10th percentile for weight but the 50th for head circumference. She’s like a cartoon character.

@2024dion My daughter was 12% in BW and 67th in height. But she was always growing on trendline so never a concern. Cutest noodle that has ever been Kids be like that

@pipelineclub100 When I call people and the give me attitude, I just say I’m doing my job and you’re going to be doing yours anyway. So I can call you again and we can schedule a time or we can schedule a time now and I don’t have to call you again. Commercial construction so it flies more

A lot of sales people are way too nice The first coaching tweak I make with any AE is almost always to stop being so nice. - profusely, thanking people for their time - being extremely gracious when they reschedule or no-show - saying nice to “e-meet you” - not standing by the product early in the process When you are too nice you lower your status from peer and advisor. You become perceived as a commodity rather than a valued resource. Someone without options or other prospects you are working with.

@2024dion The content is slop, the writing is good. Prime example

@2WordWisdom Is he? I remember skimming through his first popular book as someone in its target demo a while back and rolling my eyes

It’s so annoying that Jordan fucking Peterson came up with one of the most memetic aphorisms of the decade. The briefest consideration of the marvels contained in this dull utilitarian scene should bring tears to your eyes.
