me, a software engineer: *sits up straighter*
My dad is only in his early 60s, but he learned today that 40 years as a programmer has given him such a bad case of tech neck that his spinal cord is compressed and his joints are fused to the point where even a minor car accident could cause paralysis from the neck down.

came back to say I've been making mint lemonade for about a week now, and I am hooked.
Mint with chocolate is bad but mint with lemon is a God-tier flavor combination.

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls.
If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

To answer why didn’t we put the hammer down on Trump, et al, for January 6 — it’s because the U.S. flinches when it’s time to hold power accountable for treasonous or destructive actions. Rs giving up Reconstruction to win a prez race, Ford pardoning Nixon, no trials for bankers in the 2007 crisis…
We don’t have say it’s like Nazi Germany or be surprised at presumably strong leaders who knuckle under. Selling out the masses for power or oppression is a long US tradition. Example: election of 1876, explained on a marker at the site of the Democratic convention in St. Louis (text in alt text)

The vaccine autism thing is bullshit but even if you believed it, it seems incredibly fucked up to then believe that raising child death rates is some sort of worthwhile trade-off to reduce autism rates
BREAKING: CDC announces an unprecedented overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule, a significant shift that recommends fewer shots for all kids.
CDC overhauls childhood vaccine schedule to resemble Denmark in unprecedented move
The new U.S. guidelines recommend all children get vaccines for 11 diseases, compared with the 18 previously on the schedule.
