Not thinking is kinda their whole thing to be fair

Another listen and many tears later, the best I can do is like… this song is the essence of depression, and even though we had radically different lives, his lyrical descriptions hit me like a bullseye, the first time I heard it I was shocked at how I instantly and fully related to it. I’m crying bc I understand this pain and the deep tragedy of how isolating it is even though there are countless others who feel it too, and how the very nature of this pain pushes us away from the ones who would help us out of it. And this is lived all day every day by so many of us, not just talented artists…

The song is so overwhelmingly sad, there’s not much hope or positivity to take from it directly… but it seems to have touched the hearts of millions like me, and it makes me want to be better, as trite as that may sound

Desperately needing a good cry rn and happened to listen to Mac Miller - Good News… yeah that worked. Hard to process exactly how it’s hitting me… my demons aren’t the same as his were, but they cast the same shadow…

Biden warning us about the “incoming” oligarchy like a guy who got hammered drunk after a full day of eating USian fast food, obliterated your bathroom, broke the toilet seat, clogged the sink with vomit, then strutted out like “heh I wouldn’t go in there if I were you”

All good, no need to apologize. You have a valid concern, and I agree these examples aren’t the same, but IMO only by degrees of magnitude. I guess I’m just over giving a damn what others think about this stuff. Let me say sorry for coming off so prickly.

I think you understood the point I’m getting at, which, to your credit, you delivered more eloquently in your second paragraph than I’ve managed to do so in any of my comments in this thread.

Just curious, do you worry that wearing a mask in public to protect yourself might be construed as unprofessional to these same “corporate types?”

Yes to both

Alright then, you do you… I just spell it out real quick, takes about 5 seconds, and if they laugh it’s a great icebreaker to take another 5 seconds to plant a little seed in their head about taking back control of our digital lives. Some people are really receptive to this.

I’m not going to be giving people an email address that ends in Tuta or Tutamail, especially verbally.

You’re really over thinking this if you believe even 10% of the people you interact with give a single fuck about a silly domain name

Who’s your audience?

I haven’t kept up with him in a while but Dr. Glaucomflecken is /was good but seems aimed at other health care professionals. If that’s your intent, I don’t mean to be a wet blanket but Dr. G I think already has that lane covered.

If your audience is the general public then deal with topics relevant to them instead. Why you pay more for less every year. How to fight back, within the system and without. If I were doing it I’d point a big fucking spotlight at the leaders who have the power to fix it but refuse. They have names and addresses. Good luck.

Edit: reading comprehension failed me… other HCPs will already know about this… leaving this up, look upon my shame!

More on topic: If I were doing this I’d also highlight the extreme moral/ethical implications of healthcare being a “business” in the first place and how that will always lead to putting profits over people.

See if your dishwasher has a filter you can access. There may be detergent caught up in food or other gunk stuck on the filter. Getting it cleaned up might help.

Side note, if it does have a filter and you’re checking on it for the first time… I’m very very sorry for what you’re about to experience. Good luck.

I wanna make a docker joke but my brain is too tired to realize it

I caught the matinee with my kid. The screenplay was so bad I think for sure it was tongue in cheek. The film version of Poe’s Law. Plot holes that warp spacetime. I’m not sure there was one scene shot on location. Jim Carrey is funny as fuck though. The dance number got me so good too. My kid and I had a great time… but I never would have watched it on my own.

Wet Hot American Summer, if you’re into absurdist humor. The cast is amazing, including David Hyde Pierce, Janeane Garofolo, and a young Paul Rudd… a bunch of the cast and writers would go on to make a little TV show called Reno 911

The opening scene is one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched, rest of the movie fulfills its promise IMO

Thanks for the explanation!

Isn’t that literally what excommunication is?
