“flashing her bare bum, screaming at total strangers, and shaving her head”

So, behaving like half of my college students. Behaving like a young adult. None of these things rise to concerning self harm, rather, they’re mildly embarrassing and risked the income of the industry that was Britney Spears.

Even if you are right, that might partly be because she has been treated like a child for decades.

She’s lived in a bubble sine she was a teenager. She never had anything close to appropriate social interactions throughout most of her life. And she’s directing her anger at real people who caused her real harm. Cut the gal some slack.

Correct. Cruelty is a the point. “Triggering” is what they call when reasonable people understandably react to it.

Yeah, I don’t know why folks still get this after the past 5+ years, but lib triggering is the entire point of...all of this. 

Wait, he’s supposed to quit his job because his coworker has shitty opinions? How are we doing coworker math?

Agreed that Omicron, at least so far, seems to be more transmissible but less lethal.

The only reporting I’ve heard has been along the lines of “There’s a new variant, we know it’s more transmissible than Delta, but it’s too early to say whether it’s more deadly or vaccine resistant.” I wouldn’t call that fear mongering, exactly.

Personally, being vaguely connected to the health care industry, I think overcaution with omicron can be a good thing. We’re already straining the limits of our urgent care and hospital system with COVID issues, and until we can get more information about omicron I’d rather deal with temporary quarantines and…

“Be kind to each other, don’t be an asshole”

I don’t know about edgy but I think it’s okay to hate your job even if it does pay millions of dollars. I don’t feel obligated to love anything no matter how much it pays. 🤷‍♀️

I’m a male nurse, and I stick urinary catheters up the penises of men in the ICU with Covid-19. If we could somehow show that to every American man, we’d get 90%+ immunization. Also, any man who is admitted to the ICU, intubated, put on steroids, for more than a week, is almost guaranteed to be impotent for an unknown…

A few notes:

There have been “zero long-term studies” about *anything* vaccine-related, because, well, the vaccine hasn’t been around for a long time. That’s just not a valid argument. There aren’t any truly “long-term” studies about COVID-19 itself, either, but some of the potential complications we’re beginning to see are…

“To my knowledge there’s been zero long-term studies around sterility or fertility issues around the vaccine so that was definitely something I was worried about,””

To my knowledge there’s been zero long-term studies around whether the vaccine makes you swell up into a giant blueberry just like Violet Beauregarde so…

If you are declining the Covid vaccine because you think it will make you sterile, you shouldn’t be reproducing.

The big thing about Dune (and sadly the thing most copied) is that the society Atreides (and Harkonnen and Padisha, etc) live in is basically medieval feudalism. The characters are Lords, in charge of kingdoms called Houses, and alliances are usually cemented through marriages.

But *pushes glasses up bridge of nose* Jessica, not being a Reverend Mother, would not have had regular (or possibly any) exposure to spice in her Bene Gesserit training, and Paul was obviously new to Spice in the film, even though he had similar psychic abilities to Jessica (which meant that she wouldn’t have needed…

I have not read Dune!

Wow, get a grip. First of all, she has a docuseries where she frames the history of colonialism through an art history lens. Secondly, I am sure you listen to female white comedians right? You know, descendents of American colonialism resulting in indigenous people genocide? Pathetic take that punches down on someone…
