One of the most frustrating things about the current US administration, is I keep having to side with China. wtf is going on when we can no longer even get together to hate on an external trading partner? When the enemies are not at the gate but in the keep? When I have to agree with actions to punish my own country as well earned and expected?

I also hope Harvard does the right thing but they’re being shaken down for a lot of money. Doing the right thing is not financially prudent.

My personal stake is the hit to Children’s Hospital. My kid survived cancer, where federal funding supported a long term study by Harvard that reversed the odds of surviveability . Over more than a decade of improvements to care, the odds went from 90% fatality to 90% survival. We can not afford to lose progress like this over some old man’s spite and vanity

It’s like vaccination: spending money on something that hadn’t happened yet causes autism or something

The decline came despite deep discounts, zero financing and other incentives

And we’re only two years past “50% growth every year”, so that’s a huge difference from their forecast and despite them trying to fix it

While in normal times that would makes sense as a likely possibility from what little we know, today it seems equally possible he’s in Guantanamo as an illegal immigrant hardened criminal who is clearly a member of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. I’m sure he’s responsible for half the Fentanyl in the US

The problem with your example is you could read it as cars cause effectively zero wear on roads, compared to a truck

Right wing evangelist installing bollards so no one can corrupt his penis?

I totally missed that but now can’t unsee it. Before your comment I was in team “sword fight”

They were practicing his signature. It’s a new version of auto pen, with child labor

Here’s a similar one from my fathers generation

I do tend to be suspicious about that these days …… I live in a very blue area but over the last get years we’ve had town halls disrupted by chants to stop protecting our kids from diseases. From people out of our town, including out of state

They should have included a picture of beer, instead of a couple cans of piss water and diluted piss water

wtf, are they really expecting one guy to make up for the governments abandoned commitments? Why don’t they put that Nazi toady right on it?

Don’t lose sight that you are committing a crime, you are destroying an innocent persons property, and you really have no excuses if caught by either the owner or the police

Thanks, Lemmy, now I’m “that Dad”. After reading this, I went to dinner with my two teens and one of their girlfriends, so of course I had to bring this up. All three have started working after school and will need to file their taxes this year so they need to know.

But holy crap is that a seriously uncool conversation

What? Is this the onion?

The written article also doesn’t say it would be better if everyone got measles. I listened to the interview long enough to see the article is quoting him accurately and fairly. At least for that.

Then he spent probably too much time talking about vitamin A, and I didn’t listen to the rest

It’s really just a lying outrage headline - from the written article

If you default on your mortgage, you’ve got a problem. If you default on Twitter, the bank has a problem

Maybe but you can read a lot of negative impact on overnight shifts. At one point I considered it / working for a startup where we were all doing insane hours - my manager actually demanded I be both first in and last out. Good riddance to that toxic place but working overnight would have been the closest to a sane choice.
