Yes! Sometimes I notice myself doing it irl as well and it kills me. My husband points it out after the fact sometimes like “wow, the customer service voice really lept out there”

I think “customer service voice” is another extension of this. When I’m performing customer service my voice is several notches higher than my resting bitch voice. I know there’s been some controversy about hijacking the phrase “emotional labor” and applying it to personal relationships but I feel as though I have to…

How did no one in her circle figure out that wasn’t her voice until she got pissed and spoke in her natural voice. Two minutes into the documentary, I thought, this gurl is speaking waaaay below her register....it’s so frickin’ obvious. I wonder if she still speaks that way. BTW the book...soooo good.

I’d also argue that Elizabeth Holmes’ trombone/Cookie Monster voice was trying to achieve the same result: being non-threatening to men she wanted money and power from. And it worked with some help from conventional beauty.

I mean, slashing CDC funding, not guaranteeing access to a vaccine, breaking a quarantine to bring people known to be infected into the US... 

It’s only hard to figure out when your only focus is how to grift more money from the American people.

“But we can’t control that price, because we need the private sector to invest. Price control won’t get us there.”

Hmmm, Trump (impeached) has fucked the FEC and since federal govt has jurisdiction over the national elections he could just shut it all down due to pandemic scare.  I can guarantee you that Mulvaney, Miller, and other admin shitheads have some Liberty U. interns gaming this out and running it by Trump’s (impeached)…

Even if it’s not the virus - anyone who has lived through the last 3 years and thinks for a hot second that Trump and his team are going to allow an election to proceed if it looks like he is probably going to lose is not paying attention.

Wired just published an article about that: https://www.wired.com/story/opinion-coronavirus-may-disrupt-the-2020-election-we-need-a-plan/

They’re gonna “work to make it affordable”? How hard you gonna work? How “affordable” are we talking about? How are vaccines not just free?

hmmmm, gotta wonder if Super Geneeeius and his HHS jackassed director haven’t thought about how a Covid-19 lockdown could help delay or cancel out the Nov election. How much chaos & panic can they cause to play out that scenario?

I’m a guy on the internet; I pretty much just talk out of my ass.

Not sure of your medical credentials, but I can assure you that face masks do next to nothing to protect the wearer of the mask from anything. At best, they may prevent the wearer from spreading their own germs, but even that is limited.

Doctors wear face masks during surgery so that their mouth germs won’t get into the patient’s open wound. Not to protect themselves from airborne viruses. If they’re dealing with patients with certain dangerous contagious diseases, they wear filter mask or respirators so that they won’t get sick. A simple face mask…

This is the second story I’ve read in the last few days about people on the Right searching for their very own Greta.

His thinking is probably something along the lines of “the gun lobby needs a Thunberg.... Here’s my grandbaby!”

Wonder if this guy gripes about how the libs use that Thunberg girl to further their climate change hoax.... 

Don't be so blind. These folks know them deers are all radical Mooselims. Vigilance! 

Yeah we’re all very unreasonable to be concerned about a small child carrying deadly weapons around.
