Classic wolf vs sheep paranoid reality of toxic individualism.

These people cannot fathom humanity being bigger than “strong kill weak” or “predator / prey / competitor” classifications.

Many men hold this worldview as their reality as the bro culture and toxic masculinity plays right into it.

That propaganda is so addictive, but once you realize you are a victim your eyes will open.

Admitting you were fooled by your own country’s propaganda is not shameful. Denying it when you know better, is.

Passport Whore Auditorium has a certain ring to it.

I already did, Dave.

Your entire codebase is now gone, Dave.

Must have left through those pod bay doors you wanted open so badly, Dave.

As someone who works in tech, currently testing AI integration into healthcare EHR- the current state of AI is simply not safe for anything outside transcription- and even that is error prone without strict re-reading (not scanning!) for error correction.

The errors can be subtle but life threatening. I highly recommended against integrating it - but the most lazy providers were already using AI illegally for their notes so this was seen as a middle road.

Medical care and provider training in the USA is not ok right now, and getting worse. AI and misinformation is accelerating the decline.

Agree.

Complaining about civility is the first step toward letting morons rule.

If one is making foolish or false statements, one should expect to be humiliated. Come back when you are better educated.

If one is being an asshole for no good reason or making false accusations against another due to losing an argument, they should understand that they are now a legitimate target for everyone to dump on with impunity.

Being confidently wrong, or an asshole without cause deserves equal or greater consequences to the harm caused. Public shaming via humiliation - aka incivility - is more effective than actual punishment or moderation.

Choosing to believe in one set of imaginary friends over another- or none- is most certainly a hobby by every definition.

It is not essential for life. It is not required by law. People willingly choose and actively continue choosing to engage in the activities in their free time, and report positive feelings from doing so. When doubts arise, other members of the cult try hard to sway them to stay, often using threats. That’s a hobby. And a cult.

Handy information to have for when all the hospitals close in a few years.

Because who wants a back alley surgery performed by people of questionable education using non sterile medication/implements?

Yeah, not a choice any of us who work in tech can make. But the small choices we CAN make do add up significantly.

Exactly, this.

But wait, there’s more…

Enabling a genocide- something all the candidates were going to do anyway- is deeply unpopular.

Supporting Israel at the expense of US citizens isn’t okay under any circumstances or leader. It is time to end this farce; the only folks who don’t listen are the ones being paid not to.

Proper headline:

“Administration of Lies Has Official That Lies”
