You have to wonder if we aren’t just confirming what the Great Filter is. There may not be any space faring civilizations.
That’s a nice looking Nebelung you got there. They’re such beautiful cats
I always struggled to imagine what dodos must have looked like irl until I saw these things. They almost look make-believe! Happy to see them reintroduced.
This was not a good year for me to pick up Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Ministry of the Future” book
Oh man, let me introduce you to my absolute favorite used book seller:

Also, construction leftovers on eBay are a great way to get sink faucets, light fixtures, etc. for a house.
If the shareholders want the corporation to blatantly violate the law, they don’t do that. They don’t have to do everything that shareholders want. Shareholders are perfectly free to sell their shares, if they don’t like what a company is doing, or to vote out members of the board, if they don’t like the way the company is being managed. The idea that corporations have no other choice is a myth perpetuated to maintain the status quo
"In 2014, the United States Supreme Court voiced its position in no uncertain terms. In Burwell v Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., the Supreme Court stated that “Modern corporate law does not require for profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else”.

Never. Leave. This baby. Again. Lol
All of that as revenge for Saddam Hussein humiliating an insecure cowboy’s daddy, let’s be honest here.
It’s absolutely hazing. So is a lot of nursing school, though much tamer. I point this out to my colleagues frequently.
I mean, yes. That’s why medical residencies need to be reformed. There’s zero reason they should be paid so little and made to work so many hours. None whatsoever.
And, in fact, I often make the argument that the current structure of medical residency actively harms patients because it filters out people with disabilities or even just normal smart people. Because the types of individuals who can tolerate and succeed in long, drawn-our, deeply abusive working environments are very, very, very different from the populations that they are then tasked with serving.
We wonder why physicians are so often out of touch with the struggles of their patients, and I think the structure of their training contributes a lot to that problem
Same here. I worked overtime 45 out of 52 weeks in 2020. Only to come out of the pandemic and still have hospitals trying to push too many patients on us, understaff us, supply chain shortages… And they wonder why so many healthcare professionals have burnt out and quit the field.
Find a country where medical residency doesn’t work like this. It’s an archaic holdover from the 1800s era when student doctors were trained by apprenticeship
This shit right here. We need to completely overhaul the medical residency system. Corporations are literally killing these workers for profit and the hazing culture of medicine continues to ignore that fact.
Haha, I have a blanket burrower too. Bedtime = “you’re letting me explore the blanket cave now, right?”
Seriously, the handful of times I’ve checked back in on Reddit recently just made me think, “Wow I hate it here.”
I’m so much happier on the Fediverse.
Without this feature, I wouldn’t have known that Yeah Yeah Yeahs and PJ Harvey released new albums. So I’m torn. On the one hand, I’m happy artists I already love can still reach me; on the other hand, I hate that smaller artists I don’t know about yet still have to pay to play
Sadly the cat summoning ritual only works on half of the cats in my house. Which is one. It only summons me one cat
We have to pay for the services we use somehow. I’d rather it be cash than the details of my entire life. But the money to operate those services has to come from somewhere
