Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.
Show what measles looks like.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life.

I'm attempting a trip up the mountain. Every time the beginning is like this; harder than I remember it. I think it's because all the trips in my memory were completed. This one has barely started. I know very well that it's just a matter of one step after the other. Times 18 000 or so.

Because now we get chronic conditions instead of DYING OUTRIGHT. This is actually fantastic! It means we get eczema and arthritis at 65 because we didn’t die in childbirth at 25!
60% of Americans have a chronic condition. Among people over 65, it's 95%.
Saying most of our health care spending goes to chronic conditions is just another way of saying it goes to health care.
