Oh, it was so much worse. It was everything from an antivaxxer Facebook page just sat there blabbering next to you.

Oh, remembered another one. So I have a dragon grandmother who lived about 2 hours away from where I grew up, so we’d drive up for Christmas most years. When I was 15 or so, there was a snow storm forecast for the 24th, and we intended to get out ahead of it, but my little sister made us late for some no big deal…

This surely won’t be the worst, but last year I had a company Christmas lunch in which the secretary explained to the director (a qualified veterinarian) and me (biomed r&d at the time) how cancer was a fungus that could be cured with baking soda and clean eating. For 15 minutes. And how her doctors had been amazed.…

The only good take on reboots.

While I have to agree with you about Twitter, Vox (or was it Slate?) covered the same thing months and months before the “cop” meme really took off and basically came to the conclusion that while she was certainly not a vindictive Republican, she wasn’t part of the new wave of progressive prosecutors, which, like,…

o...kay? I don’t think anyone’s unaware of that, but going around writing essays about how nothing matters is not exactly helpful.

You asked where the idea is coming from, I answered. Seems to work here pretty damn great. Wallow.

Per the above post and everything in this thread: from every civilized country that isn’t America.

ah, did I forget a routine trollhandle?

For saying you’re not defeatist, you’re not really making any suggestions for either recourse (effective or not) or hope, and you’re sure making a lot of noise about it in this thread. Are you sure this is a productive thing to do? I’m not in disagreement with your assessment, but your approach sounds like you…

Yes, private insurers are definitely doing a bang-up job of being much better
