SOME GUY: "this must have happened because the entire sport is somehow bad"
this is bullshit. Claudia Conway's mother actively enables politics that are unambiguously harmful to her. it is entirely appropriate for Claudia to cut her off and establish boundaries.
@claudiamconwayy
I donโt agree with your mother politically, Claudia, but sheโs still your mom. I promise you your life ahead will be better if you handle your issues with her privately. Iโm sure sheโd go to counseling with you, if you donโt already. Love has got to trump politics. It just has to
smug Walgreens pharmacist just told me I was part of a pattern of drug abuse because I asked him to fill the prescription for 25mg XR Adderall I've been on for 10 years. very cool interaction!
@SxarletRed
also because a tremendous number of permanent changes happen in puberty without intervention? (this is the point, obviously: forcing trans kids to suffer because That's How It Should Be)

"also? if someone ever steals your meds or you lose them, which is something you totally will never do with your neurology? we'll treat you like a convicted felon :) :) :)"
Counterpoint: fuck off, you don't get to tell people they should be comfortable with gendered words because you're comfortable making masculine words the default
promotional shot for Good Omens 2 in which David Tennant is wearing a t-shirt reading "LEAVE TRANS KIDS ALONE YOU ABSOLUTE FREAKS." unfathomably based, nothing but respect for MY Doctor, etc.

"Don't date your students" says, very specifically, *YOUR* students, as in "the ones you have right now, and thus have a very imbalanced power dynamic with."
I don't understand why you think this is "unnuanced."
"we have a new policy, we will not fill any prescriptions unless there is a record of being seen in person in the last 3 months"
"that doesn't go into effect until the fall. why now?"
"mmmyeah, you may have heard about rampant abuse of dangerous drugs like Adderall"
Can't help but wonder why
@JoyAnnReid
can't just say "hey, I said a lot of ignorant shit on here a number of years ago and it sucked. Sorry about that."

data management. scientists' labs are full of piles of hard drives with data from 20 years of history on them. if they use network file space no one remembers how it was organized before Bob/Jane/Jordan left. problem is recapitulated at every level, down to personal iPhones.
so the question of What To Do About COVID comes down to "how do you face the fact that you have to live with/next to ~20% of the population who truly do not give a shit about anyone not like them."
@SyntheticPol
@ContraPoints
this flies in the face of a well documented history of children participating in their own healthcare decisions for no other reason than your hatred of trans people

idk who these dudes are, but I've definitely taken women out to a good coffee shop on a first date just because it was good. especially in winter when it's cold outside and coffee is a cozy thing to have!

they're both wrong of course, the right answer is "sure, automate whatever you can and force the benefits of that to redound to workers instead of trucking company bosses"

We have very solid evidence that performance declines after about six hours a day and it is basically counterproductive, even if you think you're special and it isn't.

neither one of you has an ounce of self-awareness and your societal understanding is at the level of a ten year old. moreover, you struggle desperately to keep it there. it's awe-inspiring, really.
@SpiritofLenin
it's very funny watching everyone in these replies take you to school on a matter regarding possibly the most easily justified just war of the past 30-40 years.
the Gulf War bears almost no relation to the completely illegal and unjustified 2003 invasion of Iraq.

a thing I enjoy is that essentially no one is replying in solidarity with your naked attempt to farm clout off a man being murdered
@canderaid
this is a pretty shitty tweet, man. getting hired as a writer is nigh unto impossible right now, to say nothing of the fact that saying it's a person's "fault" they can't get healthcare is pretty fucked up.
