I thought about investing the effort to construct a Drake meme, captioned with "overpaying for real estate" "campaign contributions" "consulting fee" "fuck it here's a briefcase full of cash" with all of them set to the "accepting" Drake. But I lost my motivation before I accomplished it.

Wait until they learn what it's like in the places the cows live normally 😢🐮

I get that if you're a respectable newspaper you can't just put a footnote: (*) because it was money laundering

But it's weird that say the whole thing with a straight face while standing so specifically placed so they're blocking the writing on the wall that says "MONEY LAUNDERING"

My point was that nobody in government said anything about banning IVF or coming after IVF doctors. That was just extrapolation from what the court was talking about, in the course of making ultimately to me a perfectly sensible decision about the facts of the case they were looking at. Right? Like I say, unless I missed something.

I don't think the hospitals "had to" stop performing IVF. I think they came up with that as an extrapolation from this one ruling.

I do think it's "sensible" in the current political climate for the hospitals to stop IVF until things are clarified, and I do think it's an indictment of the general anti-abortion-to-the-point-of-negligent-homicide feeling in the Republican party that they felt they had to do that. But nobody actually wants to ban IVF, as far as I know. That was my point. I think the state is probably backpedaling hard now to try to figure out how to undo this shitstorm and make it clear that they support IVF without looking "weak" on abortion somehow.

I'm not trying to take them off the hook for anything. Just trying to clarify, that's all.

It's honestly like living with a teenager.

Texas: FUCK YOU we're our OWN SOVEREIGN NATION and can KILL MIGRANTS IF WE WANT TO AND WE'LL SECEDE IF YOU TRY TO STOP US

Also Texas: Can I have some money pls, this is upsetting what's happening

(And yes I know the city officials and first responders are not the same people threatening to secede. I'm not even saying they shouldn't have the money to try to provide good services to these additional victims of the carnage. I'm directing the sarcasm at the teenager-minded higher up officials who would be FUCKED without the aid and support of the wider US government they rely on so heavily, while at the same time they're constantly shitting on.)

A published paper about it which sounds sort of anecdotally pretty convincing, although I will admit that it's one of the weirdest papers I have ever seen in an apparently-peer-reviewed journal.

Some pop science articles about it from Vice and Psychology Today.

A paper specifically examining the question of, is this a real thing or just a statistical artifact to be expected based on the individual rarity of the two conditions. The results are inconclusive either way unfortunately.

I won't say that that somewhat-less-than-airtight collection of links somehow proves that it's real, but it's also not just something that this weird random web site came up with.

Not just cool: An actively good thing, to be encouraged.

The IVF thing.

Personally I think the whole thing is overblown. Unless I missed something, nobody said anything about banning IVF; they just put some scary biblical language into an otherwise very reasonable decision about damages for a guy who broke into a clinic and accidentally destroyed some embryos and now is on the hook financially. Pro-choice people saw the language and flipped out, a little understandably given the current political climate, and the media ran with the story, but I think it’s pretty unlikely that anyone is actually trying to ban or regulate IVF in any way. (maybe just 1-2 total wackos who just saw the story and jumped to ban it just from being wired for anti-woman-ness and not knowing IVF from IUD)

Sitting in front of a screen living in this faraway world of functions and pointers all day every day was making me a weirdo. There were some other factors but that was the big one.

Ethanol is drinking type alcohol

You have misunderstood. No, it wasn't an existing thing. This is the code that implements it. That's the point.

The change to fs/namei.c is the code to handle not following symlinks; the rest is some necessary code to create the option and expose it to userland.

(Edit: Rereading I do see a little better what you were saying - I actually looked it up and the code that “originally” implemented not following symlinks, that you’re saying we're now adding an or statement to activate, was 2 lines to expose the option, 2 lines of white space, and 2 lines to implement not following symlinks).

So if another person from another country located in the Western hemisphere, would want to work remotely in this country, needs a permit?

A lot depends on the country in question and the details of the employment, but if this person is telling you that you need a permit, you probably need a permit.

They the person tells me to send them my resume and I don't even keep an updated resume because what would I keep on it, so just fucking say you don't wanna give me a job!

I have no idea about you as a person, maybe you're just frustrated at this moment, which I get. Anyone can get pissed off in a frustrating situation. But I have to say if a potential employer says send me a resume and your response is to get frustrated "I don't even keep an updated resume" instead of "Hey I updated my resume! Here it is" I think you can look forward to a lot more unemployment in the future.
