glad there are politicians out there promising us we can preserve this healthcare system, where we have hardly any idea what's going on or how much anything is going to cost at any given time and almost no power to stop it. i love freedom https://t.co/KcojOYRPpA

Fully fuck anyone defending this abusive bullshit. “Richest country in the world” means nothing if health care is a RICO violation.
one of the things that's always just murdered me when it comes to complex tasks on computers is when i make a mistake and don't realize it for hours so it's just there, lurking, ready to cause tremendous amounts of rework I don't have the energy for

This whole thread describes why I am not and never will be a programmer — that’s basically their life. While I have deep respect and admiration for what they do, that is just not for me. To me, it’s perfectly miserable and I figured that out very quickly.
If Warren and Sanders keep up the wokester posturing bullshit, they will both lose in 2020. Since they show no signs of stopping, they are doomed.
So Trump most likely, followed by Biden or Bloomberg.
Moira has me, my podcast and the producer of my podcast blocked even though we’ve never once interacted with her so I can’t reply but if I could I would say: imagine tweeting this knowing the last victim to come forward was wearing an Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself bracelet pic.twitter.com/QeYwwxC0Dr

Only utter chump-ass motherfucking morons think Epstein killed himself. Donegan released the Shitty Media Men list because she wanted to become a part of the media establishment and was blocked, so of course she’d toe the mainstream narrative line fully and not wish anything more to be examined.
<100 IQ: not believing in science because you don't know how science works
100>129 IQ: i fucking love science™️
>=130 IQ: not believing in science because you understand how it works

This is bitingly true. Once you discover some of the ideas (on your own, as I did at first) that Nancy Cartwright discusses in her works, trust in science decreases and suspicion of experts goes way, way up. I still think science is the best tool we have to understand the universe, but one must realize that understanding is only a lens, not a revelation of absolute truth.
I wonder how many of the articles about “rejecting diet culture” and the like are directly written by food company representatives. I’d guess quite a lot. If not, their paid shills.
I too reject diet culture: I eat the right amount until I am strong and my muscles look fucking awesome.
it's my birthday, but more importantly today marks the 10 year anniversary of that time when I was working at a data center & discovered a new client that had racked about 3 tons of servers (like $300k+ of hardware) on top of $24 worth of soda cans from our vending machines pic.twitter.com/lH47WpA8QZ

Why, why, would anyone even contemplate this for a single second? Customers will do, though, just the absolute strangest things I’ve found.
I wish that all of those smug entitled shitlibs could sit and do a 12 hour triage shift with me in any damn ER. The absolute devastation and costs in suffering, health, (and death!) from postponing the unaffordable care people need until it's a crisis is just damn criminal.

People with gold-plated health care plans (10-20% of the population) would prefer not to sacrifice an iota so that many, many other people don’t die. It’s the real sickness.
