65% of Republican voters are ages 50 and over, these people don’t really care about anything except their retirement accounts. So long as Republicans can keep the stock market growing they don’t give a shit.

I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation…for the most part the majority of chiropractors are harmless. If the patient believes a chiropractor is helping manage their pain, I don’t really care about the efficacy of the practice. Plus, most chiropractors are risk adverse enough to know not to work on areas where hardware has been installed.

If we’re sticking to the format of items or activities that are a reason for a lot of our appointments… Ladders, motorcycles, bad drivers, trampolines, and electric scooters and diabetes are probably the top contenders.

We had a local shop owner killed when airing up a tire with fix-a-flat.

How? Was he working on an industrial tire or something?

Yeah, we had a few of those types at our hospital as well. Our state was the epicenter of some nurses suing their hospitals for mandating vaccinations.

They were always the shittiest nurses to begin with and never stuck around very long anyways. Though I can’t really think of a better way to isolate yourself from your fellow coworkers than being a antivax healthcare worker during a pandemic.

Yeah… I wasn’t a fan, but that’s mostly jealousy talking. As an introvert working in healthcare, it was painful to have to go to work everyday and deal with the dumbest patient population in the history of the country while everyone else got to work from home.

It was like summer school for adults, but even dumber.

One of the reasons my friend is in the position he’s in now is because he built a really good relationship with a couple people from the university of Tokyo when he was a grad student in Hawaii.

I mean, the Soviets didn’t offer them any guarantees. But I think that’s more of a byproduct of how they held leverage over the specialist, and more of a difference in how the two cultures choose to motivate employees.

Despite this, the affected specialists and their families were doing well compared to citizens of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Zone, apart from the suffering of deportation and isolation. The specialists earned more than their Soviet counterparts. The scientists, technicians and skilled workers were assigned to individual projects and working groups, primarily in the areas of Aeronautics and rocket technology, nuclear research, Chemistry and Optics. The stay was given for about five years.

Yep, my buddy is finally on a tenure track at a really nice school and it’s the accumulation of like 15 years of stressful work that might have never really paid off.

You have to be good at getting published, attending conferences, creating conferences, building relationships with different universities and that’s just to keep up with the competition. I think what seals the deal is not only getting funding for yourself, but showing universities how employing you would actually be a sound investment.

Does the circuit not know that or am I thinking of something else?

They just don’t care. It’s just like what they are doing with federal workers who can’t use strikes as a collective bargaining tool. The MSPB was made to pacify federal workers and offer some sort of protection from partisan politics.

So trump just fired the board members so they couldn’t make a quorum, and of course the supreme Court allowed it. They are relying on the fact that most Americans are too comfortable to risk jail time to stand up for their rights.

The US is all about realpolitik

Not to excuse the US’s history of foreign diplomacy, but I think it would be naive to believe that there exists any major power who doesn’t treat geopolitics with the same level of pragmatism.

The Soviets hated the Nazi even more than the US did and yet they still had their own version of paperclip. Operation Osoaviakhim brought almost double the number of Nazi scientists into the Soviet Union.

The reason it isn’t a huge threat is isn’t because we’ve gotten so much better at treating it, it’s that our hygiene has improved so much.

I mean our hygiene has gotten better, but the actual reason it isn’t that much of a threat anymore is because it’s a bacterial infection and we now have antibiotics.

Bacterial diseases are still worrisome due to some strains adapting a resistance to certain antibiotics, but they are much more manageable than viral outbreaks.

Goodish news… You wouldn’t be eating the poop. It’d be thrown in a blender until it reached an enema appropriate viscosity.

You have plenty of non-profit newspapers. ProPublica. The Guardian. The Colorado Sun. The Salt Lake Tribune. Mother Jones. Le Devoir. La Presse. Mediapart

And how much of the market do these networks control? Just because there are non profits available doesn’t negate their claim.

Also, if a journalist writes total bullshit, they lose their job. It’s career suicide. Their articles follow them for their entire career. So they have to be careful.

Depending on what network they are submitting their work to… It’s not like “journalists” on Fox News are being shamed for submitting fake stories.

Breaking News: Jefferies a former corporate lawyer and current corporate stooge, doesn’t like the idea of socialism! How fucking surprising…

If America wants a chance to avoid violent revolution, they really need to kick out any Democrat who has the stink of Thirdway politics about them.

Yeah, give me the “I want to see your manager” in the front and “I am the fire starter” in the back. Thanks.

apply a monthly inflation rate of 2.7

I don’t think the inflation rate is supposed to be compounded on a month to month basis. 2.7 is supposed to track changes in the consumer price index over the course of the entire year.

This is the only reason I own a pair of cut resistant gloves. Makes the mandoline actually a useful and safe kitchen tool.

I think that it’s more that we’ve commoditized all aspects of community, and at the same time have stopped offering any sense of financial opportunities to young people.

Social groups are now built around expensive hobbies or membership subscriptions. There aren’t even really any free spaces for people to organize around. Even the alt right groups preying on lonely people are usually just trying to sell supplements or merch.

am saying that when Russia went fucking around folk at Lemmy judged whole nation, but now that US stepped in the same direction, suddenly they remembered that state is not same as people

Ahh, that is not what I would have guessed by your original statement. Yeah, nationalism is a bitch. I thought you were saying that Russian and Korean people were inherently evil because they didn’t instantly overthrow their governments when the governments “started doing evil”.

I repeat myself…what are you talking about? In your first statement you said Russians and Koreans “figured things out” but we’re just too evil to do anything about it.

Are you claiming modern Russians are evil because they aren’t revolting as they’ve done in the past? What Korea are you talking about? There is more than one, and both have historically participated in a revolution.
