Perfectly fine for a boardroom to approve sending a low quality version of their baby formula to countries with low regulations and better quality to countries with more regulations. If the babies want the higher quality kind they should move to a better country!

Indeed, this post was inspired by a friend who spends an inordinate amount of time off the clock trying to get charts into just so shape so that claims go through. The exact way they want you to phrase stuff and what tests they need to see in the chart before approval changes regularly so practices basically have to hire a dedicated staff to keep up and let the doctors know about changes. Also results in small practices being driven out of business.

Once our neighbor’s cat Butter was hanging out and asking for food and wouldn’t leave so we called the neighbor who said Butter was actually at home. We named kitty Chiffon instead.

Agreed, OP’s post is what they WANT you to say— don’t help them out guys

Super interesting read! New frontiers for sure.

Primary elections aren’t democratic either (see party delegates). I feel like people who say this are rarely politically engaged in their communities. Same with the people who say to get involved in local city politics to make change.

Ultimately you’re supporting a facist system that is historically atrocious and currently financially supporting a genocide almost singlehandedly but go ahead and keep telling people that the best way to maintain some semblance of moral character is to vote in this sham.

For sure, and with even a teensy bit of reflection I think most people would agree that people are generally quite shit at expressing themselves with words. We say things we don’t mean or imply things we didn’t intend to all the time. A well written book or article takes hundreds of hours of re-writing and getting feedback and re-writing again just to try to communicate the author’s idea effectively. Snap judgments based on social media posts alone are pretty baseless.

Yes, best to assume you’re always misunderstanding, or at least not understanding completely, a conversational comment until you have a holistic understanding of where they’re coming from (ie you become familiar with them and how they think and what they value).

Sounds like aliens settled everywhere else to me—that’s the last human settlement

Yeah I use it to keep up with friends/family and have a private account— most people I know don’t post regular posts, only stories, so it’s actually quite easy for me to exhaust all the content I care about and then leave. The post feed is mostly ads for me since my friends don’t post. The ‘explore’ feed for me is mostly indian weddings and flood content for some unfathomable reason.

This does appear to be a functional workaround atm (the mobile website via safari app allows me to post photos to stories) but the editor is severely gimped so you can’t resize images and such. Desktop version doesn’t seem to allow you to post stories at all. If I NEED to share something perhaps I’ll use this.

Me when the dressage horse starts with the wrong foot during the diagonal part

Still drawing the line at genocide. Hate me.
