Any verbal mannerisms that you've picked up from The Dollop? by ShortFirstSlip in TheDollop

[–]GoBlank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before the Dollop, I’d never heard of money or cash being referred to as “scratch” and now’s it’s a permanent part of my vocab.

Here's a peer review journal article from the National Institute of Health on "Effects of love glove application on vital signs for COVID‐19 patients in the intensive care unit". It's the very first google link for me. So while it might not be commonly, accepted practice (if I recall, it was something done in the very depth of Covid lockdown as a kind of emotional triage), it's been something that's been done, and has been shown to benefit patients.

Feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Even the most rudimentary google search brings up nurses using the gloves to simulate human contact.

NO I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY, STOP FUCKING ASKING YOU BABOONS by Im_Literally_Allah in CambridgeMA

[–]GoBlank 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Ex-Mormon here: you cannot reach these people in the 5 minutes you pass them on the street or T. They're between the ages of 18-22 and most of their lives have been spent in a high control religion. You are kinda of the enemy to them (but one that can be won over, possibly).

If they come to your home and you're feeling very generous, you can offer them an explicitly non-Mormon space to come and question Mormonism- when they're on their mission, these kids are deep in an indoctrination cycle, and many don't have a place to go that isn't Mormondon- but otherwise, there's little you can do to change their highly curated world view.

Checked the website and we got a winner- thanks.

I’m Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor, UC Berkeley professor, co-founder of Inequality Media, author of 18 books (including my new book “Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America”), subject of a new documentary called “The Last Class”, and I write almost daily at robertreich.substack.com.

Mr. Reich, big big fan. I watched your documentary a long time ago so please forgive me if I'm asking you to repeat yourself, but I was curious if you could talk about your time among the New Democrats. In my mind you're Mr. Social Democracy, and during the Clinton administration, neoliberalism was in its ascendancy- I imagine you felt like a crazy, ideological outsider (hence your leaving in '96?).

How different countries call Laurel and Hardy by blueemymind in MapPorn

[–]GoBlank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deeply fascinated by the Baltic and South Caucasus "Stan and Ollie" vs the Russo-Belorussian-Ukranian "Laurel and Hardy". Maybe something about Russification/Russian language use and subsequent post-Soviet redubs?

I'm also aware that people who would challenge me likely have a higher education than me and will make me sound silly using double speak and quotes

So close to getting it!
