Whoever says “but echo chamber” doesn’t realize that the opinions they want you to find fresh, exciting, and challenging are actually the same stale bigotry we’ve seen a thousand times, and can dismiss on sight.

Seriously. I’m not automatically hostile to NEW ideas, but I think it’s pretty reasonable to be hostile to the old, very very bad ones.

JFC. Any security advice that requires abortion-seekers to become Jason Bourne is not advice--it's just opsec masturbation. Keep it simple. Keep it actionable. Keep it directly relevant to existing threats.

Are you “burned out” or are you having a reasonable reaction to a never-ending barrage of bad news which you can do very little about.

The Supreme Court voted 6-3 today that you don’t have to file that Jira ticket, you can just send the problem over Slack

Come ooooon :) you don’t want to miss an opportunity for another superspreader event, do you 😛 and perhaps they have an Indian pizzeria in Philly, too 😂

ME: please show me the files that are newer
COMPUTER: thats too hard. heres some files i think are good. Do you like this

Felt spicy this morning when our property management company sent an email telling people not to crowd the (8) racks in the bike room (for a 40 unit building).

The facts that all of our human rights are held up by precedent and not codified laws should be the largest indication this system is a farce.

The other day I added up that a “typical” video takes somewhere between 17 and 20 hours from start to finish.

Very few free products would make that amount of time worth it.

A free product to make a video!
Sweet, just gonna plan the video, write everything down, spend time shooting the b roll, shoot the talking head, reshoot some stuff, spend a bunch of hours editing the video, shoot the thumbnail, do the SEO, and then we’re done!
Is it worth it?

There should be a single word indicating “not surprised, but nonetheless disappointed”.
How about Nichtüberraschtnochenttäuscht 😛

Just a reminder that you’re not reviewing a product if you’re getting paid for it. And calling it such is not only a massive disservice and misleading to your viewers - but to all the other reviewers whose jobs you make harder by muddying the waters.

Just got off a video visit with Elisabeth's rheumatologist. Because of today's ruling, his department is taking all their female patients off any meds with teratogenic risks, because such medicines might result in the miscarriage of any unplanned pregnancies they might incur. 1/

people on here going "oh honey of course they'll make exceptions for abortions where it's /necessary/" and meanwhile in reality they aren't making exceptions even for people who aren't pregnant

Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.

note to self: do not start arguments with lakes

OMG

The 49% that have never had to take care of a baby, let alone babysit.

Imagine being SCOTUS and rolling back a constitutional right, and then every major medical society has to come out and be like “we condemn this.”
