Wait

In the US, 8% of women undergoing cesarean section procedures experience partial or total anesthetic failure and feel the surgery

The media gushing that a "deal" has been struck with Japan, is annoying.

This isn't a "deal"

Agreeing with a foreign manufacturer on how much you will tax your own population for buying from them isn't any kind of "deal"

Tree beard is alarmed

May it please you to know that the song "Lola" came out in 1970, and "Walk on the Wild Side" in 1972.

Over fifty years later and America is still struggling to accept LGBTQ+ and is, in many ways, regressing.

ICE agents be googling what jobs SS guards could find after the Reich collapsed, because man, this shit looks unstable

And so begins the routine of drugging the dogs, creating sleeping spaces that are cool are dark and insulated from noise, and helping to round up animals that have freaked the fuck out and bolted in a random direction, because some arsehole needs to set off fireworks imported from China and purchased illegally

This is the fifth consecutive month of decreasing Tesla sales in Europe

@evan
Ok, now I understand your reply. The only thing is that your reply, while well articulated and meaningful, is entirely unrelated to what I said.

I am pointing out a very real and persistent problem that the slightly more than half of the people who voted, and voted for this guy, would have groused all day and every day about Kamala winning, and a good % of those who voted for her would still have complained about this, that, or the other, because they would not have known THIS reality

@evan
?

@evan
yes, both cynical and amoral, but deeply rooted in realism.

Here's a central problem with quality & safety science - if you make a change that prevents a failure and saves lives, nobody knows that but you. People won't say, "gee thanks for this improved safety step, now I won't die next Tuesday when a shard of metal goes through my eye". No, they will cuss you for the extra work and discomfort.

No matter how much we told people how this would suck, they voted for it anyway.

Wait ... so is Kristie Noem demoted now?

@godofbiscuits
So the kids are better off after her resignation?

@godofbiscuits

Again, are the students better off if the teacher resigns than if the teacher uses malicious obedience against administration?
You raised the issue of student needs, so now answer your own question, or fuck right off

@godofbiscuits
Last chance, Jeffy, either play this straight or I will block you and you can go get fucked.

You said "well-being and trajectory of kids’ lives"

I am asking you, in the context of your question, whether resigning yields a better outcome for those kids than malicious compliance with the administration would.

Now again, either offer a useful argument, or fuck off

@SnowshadowII
Not everyone is so enlightened as you, sadly.
I had at least one sergeant major throw me in the clink in exasperation

@SnowshadowII
The watch officer usually kicked me out again after a bit

Let's say, more than once
