Red states are brain-draining people fast enough, blue cities are where all the hospitals and infrastructure are, and that's all being defunded rapidly. Can you imagine what it would be like if droves of medical and other professionals just left red states - shuttering hospitals and colleges and the like.

When conservatives say "I wish we could just split the country and then we'd prove how our policies are better" I always picture the scenario of them wandering around, trying to get cancer treatment or an MRI.

The majority of people I know with dental issues couldn't afford to have minor things fixed so they turned into major things.

Dental insurance is a joke and lots of people don't even get that joke.

This is how the Democrats communicate their values and intentions. And 30, 40, 100 years ago it would have worked, because the public looked for alternative solutions to problems. Today, the public wants a bully to assertively stand on camera and yell at them. The Democrats don't do that, and it's to their detriment.

But the time for all of this has passed, they're rearranging deck chairs.

So happy when people can make the transition into decent paying, clean work like this. Yeah we all bitch about it, but if you've ever done real hard and dirty work, you know it's actually pretty great to sit and deal with IT problems all day long. Good luck to you.

I'm in the Deep South, I bet by end of week I see a place charging "Fuck China" surcharges.

I did turn off my Amazon renewal for next month, I don't really care if it makes a difference in their bottom line, but my money doesn't support this shit if I can help it.

Now in damp!

Seems dangerous, it's a breach of the ToS I assume so they're opening up to possible liability if Reddit got pissy. I'm actually surprised this kind of research gets IRB and other approval given you're violating ToS unless given a variance from it (I used to conduct research on social networks and had to get preapproved accounts for the purpose, and the data I was given was carefully limited.)

Usually wise to avoid trusting the people you see in mirrors as well, never know what they're doing when you're not around.

Money addicts will risk their half trillion dollar fortune trying to save a small fraction of it

This really feels like Reddit in the first couple years. It went to shit so gradually I didn't even notice although I can remember big events. I remember when "downvote ≠ disagree" and the place felt nicer.

Yeah nowadays Reddit has not just every sub, but every meme version of a sub, and that's neat, but at what cost? I don't like being on it, and I've been um, banned an awful lot of times lately. Not really worth it. So I will have to try to build the top few communities I am missing here, like centuryhomes.

He said at one point he'd never stop on his own accord and I think we see that playing out.
