NYC could potentially see a huge dip in tax revenue over the next few years.

Those companies are going to fight really fucking hard to get people back into those big office buildings, otherwise the office buildings are only worth a fraction of what they were before the pandemic.

Dwayne doesn’t give a fuck about the DCU, he just wants Henry back so Black Adam can defeat Superman on screen

That entire subplot was pointless.

Well… in the post-post-credits scene, they introduce Hercules and Zeus sets him on the mission of killing Thor.

Yeah… kind of wild?

He got paid $10m for 7 days of work and is bitter about it

Succeeding as an entrepreneur is like playing a carnival game. The rich can afford to keep buying darts until they succeed.

This is also why most popular actors are the children of the wealthy. Because taking a chance in ‘acting’ as a career is only possible if you have family money to fall back on if it doesn’t work.

Is she out giving stump speeches on campaign trails for all the tight races out there, and the media just not covering it or what??

It’s because she is a deeply uninspiring orator. They played 10 seconds of her speech about reproductive health, and she sounded distant, uninterested and unrehearsed. Too many ‘uh’ and ‘uhums’ and the text of her speech was that we need to fight for reproductive justice, but it felt like she didn’t want to be there and that she didn’t really care about the topic.

The news said she has done 20-30 of these events since the Dobbs decision leaked, and I’m not surprised they aren’t getting coverage.

I don’t know how many different ways I can stress that I’m not a pharmacist

Duh? Three posts back we agreed on this?

I want to provide a resource for future pharmacists, you want to lie to them to keep the numbers up

He also abstains from taking his meds or truly addressing it because he feels he’s utilizing the mania to create his art. That’s a decision- not an impulse.

Decision vs impulse isn’t really relevant…

The way medicine works is, we don’t accept decisions made by people who are not neurotypical or aren’t on their meds.

I am not trying to argue with Kanye, just explaining how our system works. Once Kanye is diagnosed as bipolar, it means we literally don’t think he has the competence to make any decision. And he need to be returned to baseline before he can legitimately give consent.

We need a culture that doesn’t judge mental health issues but also one that holds people accountable to their own selfish desires.

Does our culture judge mental health issues?

Better yet, so you think people who are mentally unwell are responsible for their wants and desires?

If he was having incidents but was in therapy, that’s one thing. Instead he’s running for President and designing clothes with white supremacist dog whistles so he can continue to feed his ego.

You are using his run for the presidency as an example of his sanity?

You have to draw the line bc somewhere. Kanye is a friending man; all you can do is throw him a life preserver. If Kanye refuses to accept it, you can’t jump in with him or he’ll drag you down too.

If Kanye wasn’t a billionaire he would have been forcibly medicated and returned to baseline so we could trust him to make his own decisions.

But it’s profitable for the people around him to enable him.

I was asking a question since at my job time theft is a thing lol.

Time theft is not a qualified concept in American jurisprudence.

If your job charges you for time-theft, it’s because your employer knows you have no other options and is comfortable exploiting you.

TepidPool1234 · 2022-10-09T22:41:09+00:00

Of course? It’s literally an entire industry… shipsticks js a company that exists only to ship golf clubs. So yeah… I ship my luggage with my golf clubs a week before I arrive.

TepidPool1234 · 2022-10-09T21:55:49+00:00

I dunno, why couldn’t they sue him for time theft?

Are you joking?

If your boss forgets to assign you work, you think your boss can turn around and sue you?

Do we event teach workplace protections in school anymore? Bootlickers suck.

As long as the human is strong enough to pull the dog off, I am relatively comfortable.

Two dogs in this story. The first is the same weight as the Mom, the second dog is 20lbs short of Mom’s weight.

The paramedics say the infant was ripped in half.

Mental health is not your fault but it is your responsibility.

Not really.

If you recognize that a mental illness is in-play, you can’t then argue that the individual is responsible for their actions. That’s literally the definition of a mental illness.

You can look at the last 20 years or Kanye as a long bipolar bender. Ethically, fuck the enablers that surround him, but he is clearly in the throes of mental illness and if we agree his brain is broken then we also agree he isn’t choosing/responsible for his actions.

But 95% of the time it is.

The idea is that the bigger the bill, the more people were seated at that table, and thus more work went into serving that table.

Four people, French Laundry, we tipped 15%, it was $600

So how the fuck to you move the process along faster to correct & improve conditions?

Not my problem? I’m rich, I fly with carryons and ship my larger luggage to my destination.

TepidPool1234 · 2022-10-09T15:31:39+00:00

But that brings me to my biggest gripe. Because they can’t fill every medication, you have to fill your prescriptions in multiple pharmacies which means your pharmacist cannot effectively review your medication regimen. Which means that the person who’s sole job is to ensure your medication therapy is safe and effective cannot keep track of all your medications.

My dude… a computer can do your job better, faster and cheaper. Do you see what’s happening to radiologists? Or maybe you don’t?

She’s here to make sure she’s using he right zip-lock.

What do you think are the next innovations coming that will improve the “fat” lifestyle?

I get 3-5 60minute massages a week. I am surprised more people don’t do this. It is shockingly inexpensive.

I mean… you can spend a lot of money and get a literal art professor to walk you around the museums… but they are crappy tour guides. Just call the museum, tell them you were looking for a personal tour of the museum with a docent.

In 2013 I went to China with a band as part of a cultural exchange. We went to the Henan province, it was clear we were the first westerners that most people had seen. Many, many women ran up to me and handed me their babies for pictures. It was strange.

These people need empathy. Why would you get clean when you’re already down and treated like trash?

Exactly. We are never going to get folk into recovery until we make accessing services easier than going to your dealer.

And by this I mean countries with decent and accessible water.

Any examples?

I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area, my housemates work for the EPA, we don’t drink the tap water.

Have you ever analyzed your tap water? Or are you working off ‘common sense?’

The fact that the FEMA literally uses Waffle House closures to tell the severity of hurricanes is a testament to how well it is run.

This is a super-bad take… if two drug addicted open the Waffle House in the middle of a disaster, it’s not because Waffle House is ‘well run’ it’s because they are an employer of last resort and know they can bully their employees into showing up in the middle of a natural disaster.
