That's a yikes

"tolerant left"

Disappointing to hear.

Yet, I suppose, not surprising. Current mods aren't doctors or scientists, after all. They're just people that go with what they read, believe or both. Unfortunately it seems a few got trapped.

I'm sure it is just a minority viewpoint. I mean, it's not like topics are getting deleted left and right just because people are, say, encouraging vaccines.

Are Democrats in power actually screaming "But Trump" all the time?

Yes

Not in words but in actions

"January 6" = "But trump"

Meanwhile, global politics moves on

Yikes

I hope that's not true. Sad if someone that represents the site is just making BS up. Makes the rest look bad. What was actually said?

He's great political ammo

Like Hilary's emails were to GOP

"But donald!"

"But emails!"

And nothing gets done

is that pre or post tax? that's like $7 an hour full time, which is obviously as low as it goes.

It's basically both

the first 10k isn't even taxed and the tax rate on the next 6k is negligible

So it's both pre and post tax lol

I would argue if you have zero expenses that's good

because it's just $16,000 that flows into your pocket with minimal tax burden. Against zero expenses that's just spending money.

whats your opinion on guns

dgaf

Not an incongruent philosophy, only an acknowledgement of reality. If all pitbulls were banned current ones would all be dead in 10 years

If guns were banned...there are still over a hundred million of them floating around. We dug that grave too deeply to reverse. They last longer than dogs.

No one wants to pick a fight with China. The allegations are horrific, especially if you review the sudden increase in availability of organs for organ transplant that magically appeared within the last few decades.

Many reasons to give it more attention. Yet when you do, suddenly you lose a major trade partner.

In the eternal struggle of ethics and balanced trade, most of the world chooses trade.

Useable fusion is still decades away. However they are getting more and more efficient. The goal is obviously to make a fusion reaction where more energy comes out than what is put in. Right now it's the reverse.

The sun is an excellent example of this. It's a perfect fusion reactor, which is why it will run for billions of years instead of just a bit.

Considering Im the only one in this topic to post a picture of an actual pitbull Im going to continue assuming yall dont know what youre talking about.

That's because I can't post pictures of the irreparable disfiguring damage pitbulls do to children here without getting suspended and banned for posting offensive content.

They ruin lives.

RaptorLC posted...

Your argument that we should not punish those responsible for the worst terrorist attack against America since 9/11 because it might offend the terrorists is pretty fucking stupid, all things considered.

What the hell are you talking about?

I really don't understand. I am fine with capturing individuals responsible but are you implying going to war in iraq and Afghanistan was worth it? I'm confused.

Not one person involved in 9/11 was from either country and the funding for the attack was by other countries. Neither had anything to do with 9/11, we just needed to lash out like an angry gorilla and saddam was in the crosshairs.

And wecould have done it without mass murder of a country. Hell, Afghanistan has the taliban back in power! All we did was waste money and human life.

Well pitbulls are one of the most common dogs in the US. Of course the numbers are gonna be higher.

Weirdly I've never seen, in the last 10 years, a viscous corgi attack

Yet I get a pitbull like once a week

There must be 1,000,000 pitbulls for every corgi

DOG OF PEACE!

Umbreon posted...

I wonder if Nightingale believed in appeasement during 9/11?

"Guys I know they attacked us, but do we really want to risk a war by punishing them?"

You....do realize that invading afghanistan and iraq killed millions of people for no reason, right? It was a reaction that gave haliburton a lot of money and contracts. I don't think many historians are going to side with you on this, that the subsequent invasions were really productive.

We could have gotten the specific individuals responsible through special ops in the same way we did without killing millions that were just trying to live out their lives, unaware of america or why why drone struck their weddings.

Pepys Monster posted...

They should have thought of the consequences before attempting a coup.

You're terrible.

You are 110% convinced of your viewpoint.

You fail to understand there are others that are 110% convinced you are wrong. So if you had full power you would go out and punish everyone involved with the full might and fury of government.

Doesn't this sound familiar to you? Haven't you heard of this before? It's the middle east, where a minority is attached by a majority power. There is a war going on for thousands of years between two sides that will never agree. If the entire country had your shortsightedness we would quickly descend into two groups fighting to the death because neither can see the other side. All that matters is you're right and it is everyone else that is wrong. You'll never stop, even for a moment, to think that others think the same about you.

The end result is no reconciliation occurs.

Pepys Monster posted...

Trying to overthrow the US government is treason.

Sure.

Well, let's imprison everyone involved, Put Trump behind bars, his whole family behind bars. Or just execute them like we did in the old days for treason. Punish them all, punish everyone hard and severely.

That won't come with a civil war, right? You think people will just sit around and watch that? Just wash their hands, hug each other, hand out flowers and sing?

You need to think of the consequences of actions before just saying PUNISH EVERYONE, I AM THE HAMMER OF JUSTICE

Aggravating people into violence is never the answer. De-escalation is half of my job, especially when I work in the inner city. Constantly telling people they are wrong without even listening is the fastest way to end a conversation.

Being an adult is difficult. It's more important to find common ground than to be right.

DarkRoast posted...

It doesn't matter how much it costs.

That sort of thing should be an immediate zero tolerance disqualification for office.

Sure

let's play that scenario out

He is impeached and convicted

Then 20% of the craziest people in the country literally start a civil war

Hey, at least you got your point across!

Consequences are important. Sticking to your beliefs until it offends someone into action is childish.

Trump was an idiot. However idiocy is spending any more time on him and not current issues facing the country. Too many people have been radicalized that would be personally offended if what you said happened. Jan 6 was bad enough, reactionary actions would have been even worse with conviction.

I'm not saying I support anything he did that day on at all, I'm only saying an eternal focus on it is a pointless distraction for dem points like hilary emails for 2016 campaign.

DarkRoast posted...

Ok NO FUCKING OFFENSE

But hear me out

A president who SERIOUSLY THOUGHT HE COULD DO THAT and ACTUALLY TRIED TO DO IT should have been immediately condemned by his entire party and prevented from ever running again (through conviction from impeachment).

Sure

but how many years and millions of dollars do you spend pursuing it?

Keep in mind, this flows both ways. Any time Trump had a bad day in the polls it was HILARY EMAILS HILARY EMAILS

Now any bad day for Biden

JANUARY 6 NEVAR FORGET

What pisses me off the most is that it's a tactic that gets used because it works. People take the bait and stop caring about shit like, I don't know, Russia taking over europe.

My place actually had a shit ton of Blantens over the holidays.

I'm not happy with how buffalo trace aliquots things. We get shipments of blanton's, Weller SR and 107 ALL THE TIME. We never get Eagle Rare. Other parts of the country are completely reversed. I don't know why they do this.

DarkRoast posted...

Or you could be like the Right and just try to literally throw out the election via claiming your VP magically has that power.

Pointless post

Nothing came of that, it may as well have never happened. If Trump DID throw it out then you have an argument. Otherwise it was a manchild crybaby move and Biden still came in and did nothing to improve anything.

However it makes for excellent distraction and theater while the country falls apart, great move by dems. They can talk about Jan 6 for years to come anytime anything bad happens.

TyVulpine posted...

Blame Congress for being paralyzed due to 3/5ths rule in Senate.

I know...I'm just tired of the "blame everyone" mentality. It's a circle of blame that leads to only more blame, not progress.

Left blames right

Right blames left

nothing happens

At this point I just want a pure dem party to take control or a pure GOP party. Pulling it two directions is not working!

Terrible president

gutless pandemic response

toxically moderate to the point where he does nothing at all, because any action will irritate dems or GOP. Any decision at this point is better than spinning wheels.

It's a lottery where you are? It was just a random store drop where I live.

I have the 2020 release, didn't get 21 or 2022.

Terrible dog breed

Half my maulings of kids in the ED have been pitbulls, probably closer to 75%. Each time, the owner says it's "so out of character."

She's a moron anti vaxxer "scientist" who sells "brain boosting" pills.

Somewhat oversimplified but generally accurate.

I despise her advertising herself as a "neuroscientist." By qualification, yes, but not action.

I haven't been a mod for years, but when I was I had no problem overturning a moderation. I'm not all ego, if you can give me a cogent reason for the message to not be deleted, I'll overturn it and just move on with my life.

Often this would involve the user explaining a context that changes what I perceive the message as indicating. Or would reference some post like 30 posts away from the originally modded one.

Now from a user side, I don't even see a point in contesting a moderation. It's a battle I don't need to win.

But the point is that monkey research is essential to understanding the brain.

I'm not sure you can rail against his statement unless you think it's an unneccessary sacrifice (or "exploitation" if you prefer).

You're trying, but you'll never connect. He's a muggle (term used for people that do not understand medicine or science).

It's always good to try, but unless they have your training and knowledge, all science is

1) useless
2) fake
3) unnecessary

The muggles make up their own science, just like they do with vaccines. It's easier to believe your own lies than it is to research the truth.

Also he had a big day at his meeting yesterday. Was so cool seeing the speech in front of the stack.

The person that wrote that has three options

1) Bitch forever

2) get a better job

3) live below quality of life of his mother but still better than most of the world

I mean seriously, "crime scene photographer." That GM factory job probably pays more anyway.

I would put it all into Lucid right now

I dump a lot of cash into it when it dips under $30

Let's stop drilling into monkeys' brains. These experiments are horrific.

You must not want neurosugery to exist, then.

How do you think the field came into play? If you have a brain tumor, will you just accept death in an alternate reality where animal testing is banned?

Animal testing gave us most medical things we use today. Without it there's no minimally invasive surgery or most drugs to treat anything

Not sure what to say about this

You want to advance

Or you want to pet the monkey

He won't publicly specify, but it's obvious. He wants property values to go up in yellowsprings. Affordable housing brings them down.

Not going to comment further but that's 100% his motivation.

I hate commercials but those I like only because they are accurate.

I guess, well, you'll see.

People get blazed and come to the ED all the time

It's so annoying to listen to them ramble about shit then tell me they think they're gonna die

I sedate them, turn off the lights and hydrate them. When they sober up two hours later I tell them to stop doing drugs and kick them out.

Guys

come on, it's easy

He has a bandaid on his arm

He got the covid vaccine

artist is saying it caused a heart attack

Fauci comes along and sprinkles covid on the body

Message is that vaccine caused the death and fauci said it was covid

Obviously, as a doctor, this is wrong. But still funny.

"drive to succeed" also doesn't really have any bearing on success

capitalism necessitates the existence of an exploited underclass to function. if everyone were skilled and driven to succeed, there wouldn't be more successful people; there would just be a lot more unsuccessful people who are also skilled and driven.

it's functionally a gigantic pyramid scheme. whether or not "anyone" can succeed is irrelevant -- "everyone" can't. the system cannot sustain that

wow

You know, there are two types of people in this world

Those with an intrinsic motivation and those with extrinsic

If you want to correlate success, intrinsic folks are usually the most successful. You are clearly extrinsic.

Extrinsic people take zero accountability. The universe "happens" to them. They are a bystander.

Intrinsic people "make" things happen. Hawking was very intrinsic. He drove his success.

Extrinsic people succeed only through chance and lottery. Otherwise they wait for good things to happen and usually die in the process, cursing others who succeeded the whole time.

You're immediately assuming that somebody that's "intellectually disabled" (whatever the fuck that means) doesn't have any skills that a "genius" might not have.

I mean in a strictly medical term. As in, severe mental mental debility. Not used as an insult. They have zero skill. They are wheelchair bound, fed through a tube in the stomach and breath through a tube in their neck. They do not have thoughts, at least any they can convey, and simply wait to die.

They are the saddest patients I see.

That's "whatever the fuck" I mean.

HylianFox posted...

Yeah, it's not like one of the greatest minds of our age was wheelchair-bound and unable to speak or anything
*cough* Stephen Hawking *cough*

My specific example was wheelchair-bound from intellectual disability :P I see a lot of this at my ED. There is an entire nursing home next to my shop that houses these poor souls.

Hawking was truly amazing. Yet, he proves me point as well. He had an inner drive to succeed. Drive is extremely important. Most people in his situation would just give up.

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

This is some ableist shit right here frfr

Reality is neither ableist or otherwise

It is only reality, and it does not care for advantage or disadvantage. Time and entropy will move on without you.

averagejoel posted...

success has nothing to do with skill

Not a cause and effect relationship, but c'mon man

If you take someone so profoundly intellectually disabled they are wheelchair bound and nonverbal and a genius and let them run amok in the wild, one will succeed and one will quickly die.

There is a spectrum that exists in between those two. Varying success will follow that spectrum. Your take is a bitter one.

I never read it, but I heard it's really good.

I know details of his health history though, at least in broad strokes like you mentioned. His best writing seemed to be from the blackout drunk stages. He hit a lull with garbage like the Regulators but his mercedes work is back to form.

Huge variation in his quality but I suppose when some of what you've written is the best fiction of all time it's a high bar to consistently cross.
