You have to wonder if we aren’t just confirming what the Great Filter is. There may not be any space faring civilizations.

The irony that phenylephrine intravenous is actually effective at maintaining blood pressure in people who are trying real hard to die on ya. (Our ICU uses it sometimes.)

Preach. I hate the shit, it makes me feel shaky, but god damn does it work.
They can buy themselves a few years at best without a functioning supply chain. We all depend on society, no matter how much they like to deny it
They think they do. No amount of money will protect a person from the collapse of a civilization. Never has, never will. Their plans are very much predicated on the assumption that markets will somehow magically continue to function after the general populace has lost all faith in them
I always struggled to imagine what dodos must have looked like irl until I saw these things. They almost look make-believe! Happy to see them reintroduced.
Oh noes! If he pays more in taxes he might be just regular old dirty rich instead of obscenely-no-one-could-ever-contrubute-enough-to-the-world-to-justify-this-level-of-wealth-accumulation rich. I feel so sorry for him.
This was not a good year for me to pick up Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Ministry of the Future” book
Vivekananda is one of the most brilliant minds in modern India, contemporary with Gandhi, and only less well known because he died so young.
And “what that is” is that you’ve blindly accepted outsiders’ racist assessments of your people. You really need to question that shit:
“WE HAVE THE WORST GENETICS”
Holy SHIT, my dude. You need to take a SERIOUS step back and question the eugenicist colonial bullshit you’ve internalized. I would advise taking a look at Swami Vivekananda’s assessments of India and Indian people.
“nuke the unevolved savage freaks” is the most blatant example of standard issue online “it’s ok to say racist things about Indians” I have ever seen. I have no idea how anyone in 2023 could not have a single brain cell to make them rethink a statement like that before clicking the comment button.
Are you fucking kidding me with this racist shit?
But it’s also about cost. Nuclear is far more expensive upfront, more expensive to maintain, and more expensive to decommission. Cheap, agile renewables will be an easier option for the vast majority of the planet
(I mean, we’re talking about radioactive water from one nuclear power plant. I’m pretty sure the adage applies in this case.)
The solution to pollution is dilution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All of that as revenge for Saddam Hussein humiliating an insecure cowboy’s daddy, let’s be honest here.
It’s absolutely hazing. So is a lot of nursing school, though much tamer. I point this out to my colleagues frequently.
I mean, yes. That’s why medical residencies need to be reformed. There’s zero reason they should be paid so little and made to work so many hours. None whatsoever.
And, in fact, I often make the argument that the current structure of medical residency actively harms patients because it filters out people with disabilities or even just normal smart people. Because the types of individuals who can tolerate and succeed in long, drawn-our, deeply abusive working environments are very, very, very different from the populations that they are then tasked with serving.
We wonder why physicians are so often out of touch with the struggles of their patients, and I think the structure of their training contributes a lot to that problem
Same here. I worked overtime 45 out of 52 weeks in 2020. Only to come out of the pandemic and still have hospitals trying to push too many patients on us, understaff us, supply chain shortages… And they wonder why so many healthcare professionals have burnt out and quit the field.
There only being that one playbook is the exact reason why I have a patch on my backpack that reads: “Evil is boring”
