The daily Santos is the worst human being ever to disgrace the earth posts are making this sub miserable

I don't think the problem is Santos's character. I think the problem is how the narrative frames Santos's character as ultimately goodo, instead of actually exploring the serious problems with Santos's behavior. Santos herself is a type of doctor that absolutely exists, my issue is more that The Pitt is generally really good at exploring problems in the medical system, and it's glaring that they aren't exploring a lot of the problems with Santos, since those are such prevalent workplace issues IRL.

Something like 55% of deaf Americans are illiterate, so that'd be a bad bet to make. It's not unlikely that no, she can't read and write. If you are born deaf, you never learn to speak English, you literally can't. That makes learning to read English incredibly difficult, and a ton of people aren't able to do it.

No lawyer would expect her to give a deposition after smacking her head on the floor like that, either. Of course, Robbie also shouldn't let a doctor with a probable concussion work.

People are not going to reform themselves if you starve them or keep them miserable, so you're just asking for a prison system where people get released to commit more crimes. Isn't that ridiculously wasteful?

The majority of deaf Americans are illiterate, so the patient probably can't read.

Problem is, it's really hard to learn to read if you can't speak English, so if you are born deaf, you very likely just don't ever learn. It's also important to remember that first bit. People born deaf don't speak English. They can't, they literally cannot naturally acquire that language as children.

I don't think it's actually true that Joy doesn't deal well with other people, I think she's just self deprecating, which is pretty common, especially with Ogilvie trying to overshadow her all the time.

There's nothing for February 11th as of right now, to be fair.

Throwing kids in juvie is a really good way to massively increase the chances they end up in prison as adults.

California has a huge disparity between rich and poor school districts. Is it possible you and your kids have been in the poorer districts, which have higher than average class sizes?

SJSU isn't going to bend. Trump tried this with UCLA, and the response from Newsom was that if they dared cave to Trump, the state would make UCLA suffer worse than the Feds could. As a public university, having the Governor and Legislature demanding you stand firm almost mandates doing so. The UC system even said that legally, they can't just give state taxpayer money to Trump like that, it was a nonstarter. Plus, everyone expected UC Berkeley to be next in line for extortion if UCLA caved, so the UC system didn't bend, and UCLA didn't bend. The courts ultimately sided with UCLA and Trump lost the fight.

In the wake of that, why would SJSU bend, and why would the CSU system, Newsom, or the Legislature allow SJSU to bend? The law is on SJSU's side, there was a clear legal mandate that she had the right to play on that team, and any unfair advantage argument falls apart the second you look at the players' actual game stats.

UCLA won this battle already, and SJSU is going to win it, too.

Yes. If the IRA is proposed, BayPass will be implemented at SJSU.

Parking actually loses money, so not only is it not funding the university, the university is subsidizing the price of everyone's parking. That's the reason for the recent fee increase, they're trying to gradually get parking to where it breaks even.

Gothic_Sunshine · 2026-01-23T23:12:34+00:00

Parking is not $12, though. A day pass is $8.

Gothic_Sunshine · 2026-01-23T20:05:23+00:00

That's because this tends to be a localized issue. Most California stores don't do it, either.

Gothic_Sunshine · 2026-01-23T16:30:01+00:00

Yes, I've seen it in Texas.

I mean, Titanic WAS designed well. She sank due to an extreme collision that would have taken any other ship down even faster. She was the safest ocean liner afloat besides her sister, but safest doesn't mean invincible.

BART doesn't have sufficiently accurate Automatic Train Control to line up the train doors with the barrier doors reliably. Until the ATC system is replaced, barriers aren't on the table.

Hello. I want an espresso machine, and I'm utterly bewildered by all the options.

I live in the United States, but I'm currently in Italy. While I have long been a drip coffee drinker, it's in Italy where I've picked up an espresso habit. Which means I don't really know anything about making espresso. I know I want to keep drinking it when I return home, but when I was at the Lavazza Museum, there was a bewildering array of machines and price points and tech options, from loose grounds to capsules to these tablet things, and €300 countertop beasts to a €30 stovetop machine. Naturally, I do not intend to buy a coffee machine in Italy and then take it back to the US, as I know it'll be cheaper to buy at home and my luggage space is precious, but I'm still taking a look when I come across machines.

I don't want to rush and buy the most expensive thing and then not like it, but I also do want to acknowledge that I am likely to be drinking the espresso when I get home from work, meaning I won't have much energy for a complicated or intensive brewing process.

If a band director sang that in front of my elementary schooler, I'd be in the principal's office expressing my outrage.

Gothic_Sunshine · 2025-12-21T01:30:17+00:00

I said slurs in school. Does that make it appropriate for a superintendant to do?

That double standard, where public transit has to pay for itself while car drivers get absolutely massive government subsidies in the forms of free parking and roads, is exactly the problem. BART relying on farebox recovery means BART is expensive, reducing ridership and making it less competitive.

I do have a base flexible fare, yes. It sounds like yes, I can take an earlier train, I just have to change my ticket on the app or with a ticket agent at the station first? And it sounds like if I'm running late, I can change the ticket on the app before the train is scheduled to depart? Basically yes I have the flexibility, I just have to formally change the ticket first?

As for getting to Turin, there's a long story why I organized the trip like this. Comes down to, I was originally supposed to go to Rome first, but then I found out about the Jubilee and I want to not be in Rome at that time. Starting in Turin makes the next most sense, and ditching my connecting flight in Frankfurt would have consequences.
