Never been more satisfied than reading hundreds of replies roasting this guy

That’s great, but I would sure appreciate someone calling me to discuss. You didn’t allow me to retrieve the keys with my drone after park hours. I am a professional, licensed drone pilot. All I need is your permission. But there has been no help.

I’ve driven in 43 of the 50 states and the only two times I’ve ever been stopped for speeding were in Ohio.
Where you're most likely to get a speeding ticket.

Why are so many people so clueless? It’s standard practice for restaurants—and artisanal ice creams shops especially—to develop recipes that work for their equipment, clientele, overall vibe, local ingredients, etc. It happens every day in every eatery in the world.

AI is so popular because it gives uncreative people the illusion that they are creative. It lets them skip right to the part where they get validation. It’s not only parasitic, but extremely narcissistic.

this whole "should a prof be allowed to ask you to come to office hours to defend your ai flagged work" debate just highlights how a sizable portion of students think their tuition pays for their diploma and not the opportunity to get an education at that institution

Wow. This really underscores for my misdiagnosed autism was definitely not GAD. Everything I was/am anxious about is rooted in reality.
In a study of people with generalized anxiety disorder, only 8.6% of recorded worries actually happened. The most common outcome: 0%. Not a single worry came true.

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.

the "blah blah blah" being the pollution of Black neighborhoods, exploitation of the global South, neurocognitive effects, creative theft, replacement of human interaction, superheating, climate collapse... don’t be agonizingly unserious if you don’t want anyone pointing it out!

Things have just got real in Tel Aviv, and Israel. The actual pain and destruction have begun. Earlier today, Iran targeted a train station in the center of the country. I didn't want to draw conclusions from it, and waited to see if it was the onset of something new. Now, there's confirmation. Iran has just destroyed one of Israel's largest train stations in Tel Aviv, and potentially incapacitated a major part of train movement in the entire country. Israel is a tiny country and has just one major north-south railway, with the biggest stations situated in Haifa and Tel Aviv. Cutting the train movement there means Israel has no mass transit (the roads are heavily jammed routinely). These are also major transportation hubs, with Israel's busiest and most strategic roads going nearby; breaking some bridges along these roads puts the entire center of the country at a standstill. This also has far-reaching military consequences: the train is the main transportation solution for IDF soldiers. If what I suspect is taking place becomes reality, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will not be able to travel to or from home with any measure of efficacy. More importantly, it's going to become extremely more difficult for Israel to move large number of soldiers north or south when a major call for reservation is announced. A logistical nightmare. The economic implications of the train being disabled are astronomical: hundreds of thousands of Israelis travel to work each day by train. This could all be foreseen in advance. A year and a half ago I wrote an article titled 'Iran can end Israel in a few Hours', where I anticipated precisely this scenario. - Iran has started the strategic destruction of Israel.

You all think merely apologizing = restitution and accountability and frankly I’m worried for you and your relationships in the future

If Frank Langdon were actually a changed man, he would recognize and accept that he is not entitled to anyone’s forgiveness and friendship nor to a workplace that is the same as it was before.

He would have immediately gone to the new attending to say, I caused significant harm to Santos and for her sake I would like you to avoid making her work with me until she is able to indicate whether or not she feels safe with that.

Those of you cooing that Langdon has redeemed himself because he offered a few self-serving apologies show that you do not understand the realities of restitution, professional workplace behavior, or medical ethics.

Do not compromise on supporting trans women. Give no ground. Do not give nuance, because in the face of genocide, there is no nuance to give. The state is trying to make it uncomfortable to support trans women. We must make it more uncomfortable not to.
