Reply to Math is important because I was radicalized about insurance when I learned math by twovests
Great effortpost. This is exactly why I feel no remorse whatsoever for the United Healthcare CEO getting shot. Zero.
This comment on the nursing subreddit also made me laugh.

Congrats! This was pretty much how I felt leaving one particularly dysfunctional tech job. And not just because it was PHP.

I'm so sorry :S if it's feasible, I think taking a break would be a good idea. It doesn't sound like it's a healthy place for you to be.

I know! I miss being able to press a button and instantly hear jazz. Now I have to press a button while I have a Wi-Fi connection to get instant jazz, and that's just a smooth jazz internet radio station. I miss my jazz fusion.

why should I listen to you if I'm not supposed to let others tell me what to do?

This was going to be my question; I couldn't remember if the introduction of oxygen caused one of the 6 great mass extinctions. At least we have the cold comfort of knowing we aren't the only species to trigger a mass extinction event.

Man I'm envious, our local jazz station turned into a variety station a few years ago, and it's not as good. Our local classical station is almost always playing NPR when I tune in. Everything else is crappy commercial butt rock, crappy commercial pop, or christofash talk radio. I have to use internet radio if I want to hear good music, and even then, most of those stations play ads.

Reply to tried asking my primary care doctor about getting my tubes tied, was discouraged by skookin
The childfree subreddit on the other site used to have a list of doctors on their wiki page that wouldn't give you the runaround about getting your tubes tied. I'm not sure if it's still there, but if so, it may be worth seeing if your city / a nearby city is on the list, and reaching out to one of those doctors! Don't let one "no" hold you back.

I haven't seen it in person either, just something I've heard from other leftists.

Some nazis have also been known to booby trap their stickers with razor blades, to cut the fingers of anyone who tries to remove them. Covering them with tape or your own stickers is better for more than one reason.

Every once in a while, I'll imagine thousands of people from the future sending reassurance and encouragement back through time to people in the present. Things like, "It sucks to be ahead of your time, but please don't give up; our future won't be possible if you don't keep fighting the good fight. We love you and appreciate everything you do!" It's not much, but it helps a bit.

I always put some edamame in my ramen, it fits the flavor profile and fills me up more.

Reply to comment by twovests in Anyone ever been rightfully criticized for something, but you just weren't ready to hear it yet? by cowloom
Yeah, I get that. It's unfortunate to me that dishonest tactics can sometimes work better than honest ones in the court of public opinion. But, I suppose that's just another variable to be considered.
That said, I can't remember the last time I was criticized and unready to hear it. I think I've always been able to see that people can say useful or correct things, even if they're dicks about it or are incorrect about a lot of other things.
That's a rare gift. I wish more people thought this way.
