Yeah, I can call shenanigans on this right away. They simply do not use any of that stuff for LASIK. At most, they’d give you a mild sedative just to relax you a bit. The only anesthesia is an eyedrop, such as proparacaine, applied directly to the eye. No ophthalmologist is going to add the risk of putting someone…

Part of the blame lies with the ‘Safe and legal’ language used during the clinton administration.

Because it contains funny, game-related humor. You’d know that if you’d watched the video.

This is the best takedown I can imagine being made of all the phony, manufactured outrage over Joker.

And I guarantee you, of those who oppose it, few are doing so for professional reasons.

I’ve done accounting for a doctor’s office and I can guarantee you that if receiving payment meant one envelope with a single check and an itemized statement that came at a regularly expected time after treatment, most doctors would be ecstatic.

The healthcare industry in general would be crazy not to support M4A, considering that it would greatly streamline one of the more maddening and needless parts of the process by which they get paid. Everyone in the industry who has to sort out all the different kinds of insurance coverage fucking hates doing it. It…

NEUTRAL: I don’t rely on any of my safety features. They are just nice to have, in addition to ordinary defensive driving measures. This is particularly the case with something like Rear Cross Traffic Alert, where you really do often legitimately end up in the situation of being parked between two large, tall vehicles…

Shelving recipe components together by type—be it cuisine, culture, or common usage—is how you get better cross-selling. That’s why peanut butter, jelly, and bread are virtually always on the same aisle, for an example.

Let’s not go galaxy-brain here. The complete answer is “no.”

Nobody actually believes this shit.

Great, but then you don’t get to posture like you have actual standards.

It is almost as if people are trying to will a tragedy into existence.

Considering that disaffected white men have been major perpetrators in the United States’ ongoing gun violence crisis, many have feared that Joker could be a flashpoint for similar violence.

Is this the part where you pretend you won’t be giddily walrus-clapping for Biden in the general, just like you did with Hillary?

You’re starting to wake up.

Good, I’m glad they’re banning the press. It’s blowing my mind how much of a hard-on there is surrounding this movie, to make it seem—without any rational basis whatsoever—that mass shootings are somehow inevitable at future showings of the film. It’s almost as though you assholes want there to be mass shootings, if…

And yet, after I finished the demo, I walked into a nearby bathroom, stared into a mirror, and asked myself “Did it work? Do I care?”

Because a handful of woke types are resentful that a capeshit movie with a “bad guy” in the lead actually managed to get some critical praise. They’re on a “OMG not another movie about a ‘damaged’ mediocre white male” trip, so they’ve decided to manufacture a threat of violence from the reviled incels in order to…

God, this is fucking stupid. You people have no basis whatsoever to draw any of these connections. It’s almost as though you want violence to break out around this movie.
