protist

This is terrible advice lmao

"I'm always open to legitimate feedback, but trying to make me do things exactly like you do is not helpful. If you see a problem with my work, please let me know how it's a problem and what the consequence may be. If I hear you and disagree with you, you need to hear me and let it go."

What's tough here is you work in healthcare. Open communication and feeling comfortable calling someone out for an error are key to avoiding patient harm, so it's probably in your best interest to maintain open lines of communication with her, even if you're having to constantly assert boundaries

Yeah I get that, and could have expounded more. He is just like Jesus in that one way, but he actively encourages bad behavior and is basically the anti-Christ in many other ways

The tariffs on Chinese goods, not super opposed to that. It's probably more like 2%, or 0.5%

Lmao you literally said "both sides are the same"

He's the red team pick, so the red team likes him. No different from whoever the blue team pick is for the blue team.

You're arguing against a straw man. I'm not voting for Biden because someone else is telling me to vote for Biden. I voted for Bernie in the '20 primary, but he lost and threw his support behind Biden. Biden got the most votes in the Democratic primary. Rather than view that as someone "telling me who to vote for" I recognize that is the reality of our primary system and first past the post voting system.

Now the choice is Biden or Trump. I agree with Biden on 80% of issues, and agree with Trump on maybe 5%. I don't think anyone criticizing Biden is "an idiot," I think anyone saying "both sides are the same" is an idiot, because the difference between their political positions is incredibly stark

Lmao please, there are political conversations literally all over Lemmy. There are only so many times one can type out a response to some troll repeating the demonstrably false line "both sides are the same." You assuming your tired thought is worth more than a downvote...the vicarious embarrassment is painful

Enjoy the salt coma

If the mattress is included, it's a deal!

Sure, but really from the Louisiana border to the New Mexico border along that route is 1419 km. This morning it says that'll take just over 13 hours because you'd hit rush hour traffic in Houston

He lets people who "believe in him" let go of all guilt, shame, and self-doubt. It doesn't matter if you're racist, sexist, or homophobic, it doesn't matter if you commit crimes, perpetrate injustice, blaspheme, or maliciously harm others, as long as you believe in Trump, he forgives you. It's intoxicating to some people. He's like the opposite of Jesus. Some kind of "anti-Jesus."

As far as why Trump even brought it up, he's a narcissist who has never had boundaries or been held accountable for anything. He just says and does whatever he wants in the moment.

The Louis Prima Orchestra's cover of "Whatta Ya Gonna Do?", by Sunny Skylar. One of my favorite songs, a perfect blend of New Orleans and New York in the 40s. The link above is the only version I can find on the internet, which is instrumental. The version on the record I have has vocals and is cleaner. I hope somebody works to preserve Louis Prima's catalog from the 40s digitally, there's so much old music at risk of being lost!
