I fall for fool's spring every year because I'm addicted to hope & believing that life will get better

@interesting_aIl Almost like an entire society constantly diminishing the "arts" get less good art because no one goes into the field anymore

The backwards progression of cgi needs to be studied, this was 18 years ago

@dumbtwt_ Men rape actual lizards. They don't gaf if you're hot. Sexual harassment can happen to anyone and any gender too

@ighaworth Not just tech. This trend is even hitting small companies in the Midwest. I've seen it first hand also. I watched two separate companies savagely exploit so many immigrants. I try to help them but they are so afraid of retaliation they accept the conditions to stay

I originally came to America on an H-1B visa to work in tech. You know the real reason tech companies love foreign hires? They practically own them, and can underpay them accordingly. It has nothing to do with culture, and everything to do with cost.

@jubunnies I wonder this too. I hear about body doubling and how it makes people productive but it never makes me productive

when there are other people in the house, i feel like i can't concentrate. constantly in waiting mode. for what? in case they need me? i have so much shit to do and done none of it. anyone have an answer or a reason???

@missj75 @k170man @WallStreetApes Women are disabled and killed at much higher rates per incident in crashes involving vehicles because their anatomy is different than "small men" they previously used. Is it really a party difference to try and improve that??

@k170man @WallStreetApes this is your party. we are not the same. x.com/joeroganhq/sta…

This American has Stage 4 cancer and there is no cure She has insurance but she just received a letter from her health insurance that they are not covering her treatment “One chemo session costs $15,000” “My doctor confirmed that I got approval from my insurance company before I started the chemo. I've been on it for a few months now — The insurance company suddenly decided that they're not going to cover the treatments anymore” She has to get this $15,000 treatment “once every 3 weeks” “Honestly, this letter feels like a threat. It feels like my life is being threatened and saying, we will not pay for your life-saving treatment feels like a threat on my life.” We need to share these stories because one day this could be any of us We need SERIOUS reform of our healthcare industry in America

@mushycrouton Living on the hope that this next strategy will solve everything. Is it a planner!? Great! An app!? Cool! A new work out routine?! That's just what I need. One day, we'll be right. We believe it every time

@theastroprint I think it needs to specified probably *white man*

@Tori_TLCR Because the road to that "level of success" is paved with jobs that have people forced to kiss the ground they walk upon. Office politics in their early career makes them think we actually like them

The biggest shock about the shooting of the CEO for me is seeing the ruling class be absolutely taken aback about how most of us fucking hate them. They really seem to think their shit doesn't stink and that we all want to kiss the ring.

@BNODesk Idk how but this kinda feels like scab behavior

@Nicole_Lee_Sch I fully support the idea that MAID has massive and disgusting faults, especially in the ableist society we live in. But why isn't the goal to reform it? Both extremes can be bad. There are cases where someone may want it unprovoked by a Dr's advice or any of that manipulation

Did anyone ever tell you theyd rather die than live like you? Did anyone ever calculate how much your care cost, and then deny you a form of care bc its expensive? If you havent experienced these, then its your job to just sit back, listen, and learn from disabled ppl about MAID

@elle_carnitine They said torture. They said for years it was living in a coffin before they got to die. I don't think we should force that life on people when they beg for death. Like I said tho, a Dr should never recommend it. That should be malpractice it goes against the hippocratic oath

@elle_carnitine As someone who watched several relatives die slow & painful deaths over years & decades, the only time I wished that for them was when they were pleading for Dr. Kevorkian. It shouldn't be so easy, & it shouldn't be offered. Ever. But there is a place. It wasn't kind for them

The comparison to cats and dogs really hit hard because I think all the time about the fact that if I was a pet, I’d have been euthanised long ago

@elle_carnitine If they had been able bodied they could have ended their own lives as they got to their desperation (if they wanted), but their bodies were failing them & they were trapped in a dying body living in "torture". It removed a choice. It's a separate extreme, but both exist

@madisontayt_ Thank you. I watched 2 and am slowly watching 1 more family member die slow, painful, infantilizing deaths where they all begged for death. For years even decades for 1. Marie's Ataxia is cruel, and watching them makes it hard to accept the idea of banning such help

@DuckieLouise @hoolie_r That seems like conjecture. Do you have a peer reviewed study, please? I can't seem to find one with my searches

@petrichorbean @hoolie_r Everything after omicron was more mild. Also viruses that mutate always mutate to become more mild bc killing the host isn’t a good strategy from an evolutionary standpoint.

Finally tried gently suggesting precautions to my pregnant non-CC friend… 🥲 I hate this place

@bethanypeabody @hoolie_r You know it's interesting, based on your take, both sides could be *trying* to help. One side is saying for your health just wear a mask and the other side is insulting the otherside with no advice to "cure" them of their fear.

@hoolie_r Except that masks don't stop transmission and you're insanely scared of something that it typically mild, and when it's not, it's due to other health issues or lack of proper treatment. It's insane people still live in fear like you do.

@DuckieLouise @hoolie_r Can you provide evidence of the mutations getting more mild please? I would love to see where you got this info from!

You sound like a sweet and concerned friend, and you still have to let her live her life. The new variants have long since mutated out of the egregious impacts of the first couple of forms of C19. If I were pregnant rn, I would absolutely not be restricting my airway with a mask as lessening oxygen to the placenta is detrimental to growing womb-babies.

@WrongsToWrite People are gonna study it in about 10 years or so for it's great benefits. It's been found to help reduce Long Covid Symptoms, too. The negative association to smoking is hard to navigate tho for now for many

You were lied to about nicotine. It's actually good for you (when used right). Give me 60 seconds and I'll blow your mind:

@sketching204 No better time to switch to being a DP girlie and dethrone Coke from the top soda spot 🤷🏻‍♀️

we really lost this for AI slop
