Main Paineframe posted:I didn't say that all criticism of Biden sounds completely insane, I'm saying that right-wingers are having a difficult time finding something to criticize about Biden that doesn't sound completely insane. Even people with legitimate criticisms often add on, or even focus on, insane things. Either to add spice because they feel the legitimate part feels like a boring point or doesn't carry enough weight on its own, or because it's easier to work up a good head of righteous anger when your opponent is not just wrong about something important, but fractally wrong about everything on every level. And both of those impulses know no partisanship. The problem with that is that the insane stuff both discredits the real argument by its proximity to bullshit, and makes the speaker seem less sincere and more like your chud relative trying to legitimize an Islamophobic rant by talking about how the Saudis treat women and gay people or something.

Couldn't any wacky nurse or doctor stir up poo poo over IVF and sue? Isn't there still a ton of liability and risk here for providers?

KillHour posted:Florida did a good thing!? What the hell. Hatred of mainstream social media companies is relatively bipartisan, although the reasons for it vary between the parties. MAGA Republicans are super mad at social media companies because they think that the entire tech industry is run by rabid socialists who are censoring conservatives and destroying free speech to impose a woke agenda, so they're generally open to heavily regulating social media companies.

Ignoring the stupid age verification for porn thing above, regulating features that are known and designed to be addictive is a good thing. Social media companies use the exact same psychological tricks that f2p games do, except they're monetizing your eyeballs instead of your wallet.

Young Freud posted:The doctors probably recommended them to sleep it off, the absolutely worst thing you can say to someone with a head injury. While the doctors clearly should have done a evaluation and ordered imaging to rule out a bleed caused by the head trauma, It's a myth that sleep in the acute phase of a TBI is actively dangerous. The main danger of going to sleep is that you're delaying seeking appropriate care. In the chronic phase of a TBI, sleep quality is often disturbed and restoring proper sleep function is becoming increasingly clear as a main factor in recovering from a TBI. Sleeping after a concussion is exactly what you want to be doing as soon as you've confirmed you're not bleeding into your skull. Patient guidelines from the CDC stressing the importance of rest following an mTBI: https://www.cdc.gov/headsup/pdfs/providers/fact_sheet_concusstbi-a.pdf Some scholarly literature about sleep disturbances and their links to TBI and its prognosis: https://jcsm.aasm.org/doi/full/10.5664/jcsm.5598 https://academic.oup.com/sleep/article/41/10/zsy147/5057802 If you hit your head, go get checked out, if you're not feeling fully aware, press for a CT. But after you do that, go home and sleep as much as you need and use your waking time to ease back into your life until you need to sleep again. Repeat. That's the best treatment we have for concussion basically.

Houstonian here. The only time I ever see anyone wearing cowboy hats/boots is at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, where probably 75% of the crowd does. For most of those folks, it's the only occasion throughout the year where they do it.

Okie here and in this state, we don't need to import chuds. In fact we probably have the chuddiest non transplant population in the country. The suburbs are infested with giant polished Ford f-950s or whatever, and the rural areas are even worse. OKC itself is pretty tolerable though. Overt displays of chudditude are pretty rare.

I've enjoyed, from time to time, looking up the "lives in" location of someone on FB who tells me or someone similarly situated that we "live in a bubble." Invariably it's someone living in a town of 2,000 in a county of 20,000 (98% white, obviously), speaking to those of us who live in a metro area with eight million.
