I think about that often. The people who have the most kids are generally the ones who can’t afford them and have a harder time providing extra-curricular activities or those with more extreme religious beliefs who may opt out of scientific education. If your average Mormon has 3-4 kids and your average astrophysicist has 1-2, the population trend must eventually follow.
I also read it about being a reframing as being a helpful friend and claiming not to have any self-interest
Though it does give him an out to move the troops to Cuba at his whims.
That’s what I meant as well - we are saying the same thing. I think I misread your comment as that being the threshold to make it worth it. Don’t mind me, my brain is mush after work lol
If you scoured the world for the most punchable face, you’d surely come up with Sam Altman
We awkwardly completed her filling without speaking much. Just another shitty day in healthcare
Glad to hear - we don’t hear about it as much up in Canada lately. The news cycle is always desperate to keep up with whatever the orange buffoon is fucking up next
Unless picking up the bill stops someone from earning for some reason, most people should earn their hourly wage plus $100
No, but bagels are a lesbian food
The question remains - how hungry must they have been to still eat that?
They clearly had good cardio if they were agitating it that vigorously for long enough to make butter! Forget fitness watches, maybe I should wear a sack of milk at the gym to see if I’m working hard enough.
Right? And trees that leak, like pines, have sap that tastes like absolute ass. You’d think they’d avoid tasting tree sap at all costs
I’m fascinated by the existence of so many foods. Who decided to boil tree sap for 3 weeks to make maple syrup? Who agitated cows milk vigorously for 20 minutes to discover butter? Who saw cheese for the first time and decided to still eat moldy milk?
I thank those nameless humans for their service to society.
So I worked at a dental office, and in the middle of a filling, a patient jolted up and ran to the bathroom. She was in there for 20 minutes or so, and then walked out of the office.
When we checked the bathroom, there was shit everywhere - hand prints smeared on the wall, footprints on the floor, the entire surface area of the toilet. I don’t know what evils occurred in there, but she didn’t clean a thing.
But here’s the part that really stunned me. An hour later she returned and said she was ready to finish her filling, like nothing ever happened
I think of myself as a reasonable person. If I shat all over someone’s bathroom, I’d rather spend an hour cleaning it than leave a mess like that. But if for some reason I did leave that mess, I would never show my face at that office again. I would go to some new office and ask to fix my weird half filled tooth and never speak of it again.
Hear me out: enforcement via lions
Speaks to human selfishness that “nobody gets it” means to nuke it rather than turn it into a wildlife preserve or something…
It’s the challenge of parenting - trying to equalize the public expressions of love. Some kids run away from photos!
I also work in healthcare. The science was challenging, but achievable with effort. The hand skills took practice and repetition. But the people skills are truly never mastered.
I’ve been in my field for 17 years and it’s still a daily fire walk trying to avoid setting expectations too high, setting expectations too low, or somehow inadvertently inviting litigation with the wrong choice of words. The same verbiage doesn’t work on everyone, and you have about 20 seconds to decide which variation of unreasonable you have to sidestep on every person.
I feel like I am fortunate to have employment and not worry as much as many people about affording groceries and the mortgage. And yet, I really hope my children don’t choose patient care for their career.
I suppose you’re right, which is odd to me as the phrase “ChatGPT says…” automatically makes me question the validity of the information
I’m flabbergasted that they admit that ChatGPT said it, rather than copy-pasting it and pretending it’s their own work and hoping you don’t read it closely.
Even plagiarism has become lazy these days. At least do me the respect of concocting a lie.
I can’t describe how many patients I see in an average week who are taking homeopathic stuff for their dental diseases and ask me hopefully if it’s working. No, magic toxin water has not cured your gingivitis or rebuilt your cavitated tooth.
