No, I think this goes to show that the whole idea that people will cry if prices are raised to increase wages is a lie. People who buy products and services want the people who are tasked with delivering those products and services to make a good living. They are willing to pay more in the form of tips; they will be willing to pay more in the form of prices. Just give people raises already ffs.

(And that’s not to say that prices will actually increase all that much if wages increase because that’s also mostly a lie told to protect corporate profit margins.)

The First Amendment means nothing to these people

I mean, this is literally a prime example of why people insist (correctly) that ALL cops are bad. Because if they’re good for 3 seconds, they get fired or chased out.

Christ, he’s so young to die of a treatable cancer.

Dear Google, stop trying to make YT Music happen. It’s not going to happen.

One of the big Boston hospitals tried to recruit me for their transplant team once. They wanted to pay me $15,000/year LESS for the privilege of commuting into Boston five days a week and paying for my own parking. Fuck that noise. I’ll stay at my little community hospital, thanks. Prestige ain’t gonna pay my mortgage.

Reducing access to more lethal means of suicide reduces deaths by suicide in a population. The data on this is unequivocal.

That’s because the majority of suicidal crises are spontaneous and of absurdly short duration, on the order of around 20 minutes. If you interrupt the process between decision and action, people survive. And 90% of people who survive a suicide attempt never go on to die by suicide at any future point in their lives.

Usually I mulch mow my leaves. This year I just left them whole. We’ll see come spring how much the anti-leaf doomsayers are correct or not. “It can kill grass!” they say. Well, I’m not trying to make my yard look like a golf course in the first place, so maybe let’s start there.

Actual regular people haven’t accepted it as normal. Fascists in our country continue to hamstring any efforts to fix the situation because they want the rest of us to keep being reminded that the fascists can and will murder us at will. Standard issue stochastic terrorism.

What about this woman?
