A cranky biologist who means well. My hobbies include long walks off short piers and anything science related.
Yeah, you get it. I aim to trivialize the oligarchy. The idea that we can make the world better at nearly zero cost. The only cost is the therapy bills of the former billionaires, as they work through their butthurt at being reduced to mere opulence.
I cannot un-hear this.
I need to listen to it but i think adding ‘again’ at the end matches the original cadence better.
I’m going to learn to sing this. It will come in handy for comic value certainly.
The satisfying plop of a placenta hitting the floor really makes the night shift more enjoyable.
Sometimes a person is both.
The only reason I still have any normal friends is that my raspberry jam is freaking amazing. But I use that as an excuse to expound on the class war. It’s how they pay me back for the jam.
I can attest from experience with a parent who eventually died of Parkinson’s disease. (The usual cause is finally choking on food.)
It steadily erases one’s ability to project their humanity. Even more cruelly, it gives occasional respite so you can’t forget there is a complete person suffering in that quivering shell.
In summary, fuck Parkinson’s and all other neurodegenerative diseases.
They are high-key copaganda. It’s overt and blatant.
What portion of these documentaries talk about false convictions, for instance?
What fresh hell is this?
I use this whenever my supervisor tells me she has news for me.
For me, this is making things much much less nuanced.
Drawbacks of EPIC
Super expensive - only large outfits can even afford it.
Poor design - a multitude of modules that often use different design principles so knowing one module doesn’t help much with another.
Extreme vendor lock-in - EPIC is very similar in business model to Microsoft in the first decades, basically a mafia.
Lack of interoperability - EPIC interfaces poorly with lab and diagnostic equipment, EPIC actively fights development and adoption of interoperabilty standards.
Dictating Clinical Workflow - EPIC is designed primarily to assist billing, not record keeping for patient benefit. Thus workflows are highly constrained and significant time must be spent clicking about to get the system to let one do normal things.
I mean, EHR is inherently complex so any EHR, but EPIC makes it much worse than it needs to be.
I’m don’t love the chart and hate forced and false dichotomies.
Both ‘conservative’ and ‘liberal’ are over-loaded terms, meaning that they can be used to mean too many things, some definitions almost directly contradict each other.
So I stick with the term ‘assholes’, which has a more universally agreed meaning.
We seem to have a suppressive person in the chat.
(JK, yes, it is. I mis-read the question and gave an example of culty stuff that is a hobby.)
Auditing pre-clears.
Can you explain a bit more, please? I don’t quite follow the meaning here. A small group already has most of the power ( money is power and a few have almost all of it ). What is your preferred way to see progress?
We are always at war with Eurasia
I prefer the second option. That means he is alive and can still find love as a wiser but sadder monkey. There is more room in a broken heart.
Yes, they do. Sitting alone in a room, creating video content creates a self-centered and narcissistic worldview. It doesn’t matter how many followers you have you are not really interacting with a single one of them. Get out of your house and meet people in your neighborhood, share your work with them then I’ll be impressed
Zuck owns more than Facebook, too. ANY big social media platform is similarly toxic.
These people have co-opted our social discourse for evil causes. And they aren’t the only way to share work online.
Creative people do not have a right to my admiration if they provide fresh bait that the oligarchs use to degrade democracy and civil society
Having worked in two different global corporations with email lists numbering in the thousands of members, well…
Let’s say it did provide occasional comic relief as various vice presidents would reply to the reply-alls in an attempt to get the cascade of (often intentionally) idiotic replies to stop.
Good times.
