- Comment on Medical Device Company Tells Hospitals They're No Longer Allowed to Fix Machine That Costs Six Figures 4 days ago:
America is the most litigious region on the planet.
You sure you’re carefully assessing the risk?

Wait. How rich are the residents?
- Comment on Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian prime minister - live updates 2 weeks ago:
our medical is mostly provincial
That’s intentional. And it’s precisely so Harper couldn’t fuck it up when he wasn’t signing away our rights to our own land. His people can only fuck over a province at a time while we can potentially show off better outcomes from places he hasn’t wrecked yet.
- Comment on Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian prime minister - live updates 2 weeks ago:
Well, up in Canada, we also have scumbag conservatives. Same as yours, they talk about the cost of everything and the value of nothing. And they work to convince the hillbillies to vote for tax breaks they won’t get to offset highwr costs they don’t mention. And American healthcare.
So now you’re up to speed. Rafael Cruz is half-canadian, apparently, and that’s the half he is.
Pretty soon we’ll have our own Kamal-eh to lose this next election, and hospitals will sell shares.
Would that I could believe otherwise.
- Comment on Moderators banning/censoring people arent oppressors violating your rights; they are customer service representatives curating the space for their intended costomers. All this to say, I see Karen. 3 weeks ago:
Do we count ‘nametag’ jobs of the late '80s? If so, then I’m in!

You missed a closing delimiter on the subclause. Is that still acceptable speech for you?
- Comment on Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave. 3 weeks ago:
But the story isn’t one of medical leave, as important as that is: it was about the incident and her experience, but not her recovery.
News articles follow a common format, and the detail about her shit boss isn’t one that fits the straight-line narrative of “survives horrible ordeal against madman killing with gun and truck but traumatized, child also safe”. With editing how it is, a ruthless editor even without an agenda may just as easily pruned that detail.
I’m sorry it wasn’t the thesis in this piece, but I’m glad it was kept in where it can be quoted later – like it is here, where we can add it to the buzz. This is really a best outcome for a piece based around a different narrative. I hope she gets a better job soon.

You say “secede” funny.
- Comment on is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs? 3 weeks ago:
Work relationships are built on trust. This is a rough time to be looking for work, but in your case please consider finding another job and only then quitting this one.
I peaced out of a job almost 2 years ago, something very toxic as well, and I’m 100% better for it. I hope you can find an environment that’s better for you.
- Comment on A majority of migrant workers employed with H-1B visas are paid below-median wages: Large tech firms, including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, use visa program to underpay workers 3 weeks ago:
As a former h1b worker, everything you said was absolutely wrong.
Like, all of it.
Not one bit of that is true. Where do you get this stuff?
- Comment on what is your opinion on mastodon and other fediverse microblogging sites?? as opposed to forum-type websites 3 weeks ago:
Compared to web-forum sites?
Half-dozen of one, 6 of the other, I’d say. It’s like they both don’t want to BE UseNET, but want the same federation and reach.
At least a few webfora tools work as mere WebUIs backing onto UseNET NNTP backbone, and that’s got the potential to use, preserve and extend the life of that protocol and interchange. But a federation that’s older than a few years may not get the love for shine that the neu protocols get.
- Comment on I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones. 3 weeks ago:
These days, they are ultra expensive glass rectangles that exist to serve you endless ads and harvest every piece of info about every facet of your life.
It sounds like you need to delete some apps.

Sure, I used to manage before Maps was a thing
Remember keeping a stack of bus route maps in your bag? Ha ha ha, dumb times.
- Comment on I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones. 3 weeks ago:
The ‘smart’ is the only part of my phone I like.
the good:
- wife can see when I’m running late because I chose to share GPS location
- I have maps
- I have zello
- I have messaging and asynchronous comms is so great
- I have email
- I have web so I can see my monitoring green-light
The bad:
- it would ring, if it wasn’t set up as a tablet
- if i installed IG or FB or Twitter, I’d have those, which are apparently toxic
So, yeah.

The audience can’t seem to differentiate commas from; well, every other punctuating mark. What are you hoping to achieve, here?
- Comment on How to avoid having cat hair all over my floor every 2 days? 2 months ago:
- Brushing them
- Some diets can cut the hair down
- Clothing that matches the cats
- Lint roller
- ’inside’ vs ‘outside’ clothes, even if “inside” just means that shirt and those pants are halfway through their wear cycle and they’re now promoted to take the hair hit for the team until they’re washed or their relief arrives.

Clearly. For science.
