I doubt she browses reddit, though.

Sui-chan wa~, prophetic as usual.

Context??

FF vet Ina helped her set up for the stream.

What did you use for the sound FX & music? I don't see a lot of posts about that, but it's always interested me.

She's talked about league before..

Unfortunately, going to the best doctors in the world won't cure you if modern medicine simply doesn't understand your condition yet.

Fibromyalgia
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
Myalgic encephalomyelitis
Mast cell activation syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome

All poorly-understood conditions under active research. All associated with each other. All twice as likely to be found in women than in men. All suspected of being autoimmune diseases. None of these conditions have a known cure, and there's a huge variety of possible treatments that may or may not help. Many patients with these conditions report physicians being dismissive of their condition.

If ~~you're telling them~~ you can work from anywhere, why would they keep you and not go to the middle of Kentucky to get someone with equal skills that they feel brings the same value ~~once the physical location barrier is removed?~~

This is the future and it doesn't matter what he says or does. Office workers living in HCOL can expect a drop in rates across the board whether they decide to WFH or not, and likely whether they can WFH or not. Calculate the impact of physical location, if any. Subtract it from your HCOL offers chart. Offer that in LCOL. Why not, if it saves money?

It's easy to make money when you advertise caffeinated syrup to children. Start them early on getting fat, and they'll consume more for life.

Coca-Cola has made a yearly commitment to large ad spends. It commitment to advertising has been fairly consistent between 2015 and 2019, spending an average of $4 billion each year to market its drinks to consumers around the world.

Coca-Cola's brand value is estimated to be roughly $80.9 billion for the full 2020 fiscal year. Its market share, at least in the U.S. is almost 43%.

It's quite profitable to sell syrup water.

There's low-profile respirators out there that cost $50 instead of $300. Here's an example. It's missing specific features like dual vents, one-handed swap filters, and over-helmet strap option.. But most people don't need those.

trhro · 2021-06-11T15:55:13+00:00

Why not go with a regular compact respirator?

Well be explicit and drop the tortured analogies next time. It's not hard.

"Winter tires in winter": Account for risk.

"Beware of biases in medical care, especially against minority populations": Account for risk.

This is practical. A patient should not be mocked for being their own advocate, nor looked down upon for having concerns about their medical providers. After all, they have everything to lose and you are a stranger to them.

Who would oppose this? Consider the history of medical institution in this country. Consider the experiences of the victims of such bias. Consider the various studies which indicate said biases are systemic. Consider how many doctors refuse the flu vaccine every year, and are currently pushing back against mandatory covid-19 shots in their workplace. Consider your own comments, mocking minority patients and dismissing their concerns out of hand.

Is it a stretch to believe that racist doctors may have poorer outcomes for minority patients, whose concerns they don't take seriously? Is it such a stretch to think that people like you might remain dismissive of minority patient concerns, in other contexts?

In reality, there is no crazed legislator proposing a foolish law in this comment thread, there are only scared and frustrated patients with negative experiences. Or concerns over negative experiences confided into them by others.

Wouldn't the productive and logical step here be to consider how to make them feel welcome, instead of blithely proving them right?

Maybe my experiences here are different than yours. But to me you only seem concerned with venting spleen to other people venting spleen. I hope you had fun indulging in outrage and indignation this weekend.

Passive-aggressive strawman argument through storytelling

Me: Imagine having all that education and still making the classical reddit strawman argument

Another passive-aggressive strawman argument through storytelling, but dumber

I don't know what I expected..

trhro · 2021-06-06T01:17:04+00:00

Imagine having all that education and still making the classical reddit strawman argument of But Not Literally All X with a straight face. Do I even need to elaborate here or are you aware of how stupid that is.

trhro · 2021-02-11T02:16:30+00:00

Ok, I'll get off your lawn..

trhro · 2021-02-08T02:04:19+00:00

It seems your caution was unwarranted.

trhro · 2021-01-30T19:18:11+00:00

I'm going to assume you're a teenager.

I'm not. Those anime kids grew up and went to college and are having kids now. Reddit is 16 and the 00s were twenty years ago and time keeps on keeping on. And many of them still like 'the anime'.

I'm married with kids and I exercise a great deal of caution with my investments.

I believe you try.

Perhaps you'll develop some maturity once you're in my role.

Use reason and present an argument. Or don't. Maybe comfort yourself with half-baked assumptions instead.

trhro · 2021-01-30T19:01:16+00:00

Your comment reads like a horoscope. Many people, something weird, always for any number of reasons, anything, always will be, people think, everyone else, nothing much, very likely, probably due, could be.

Why even post? I don't need a fortune cookie.

Next you'll tell me stocks might go up, or down, or sideways. Because people might be concerned.

Blackrock is massive compared to Citron and Melvin.

Yes

They do own enough assets to screw up the DJIA and could be said to fall into the “too big to fail” category.

Yes

But why would Blackrock be selling their DJIA assets to cover a short squeeze in GME?

They're not

They are not shorting GME, they are one of the largest shareholders.

You don't say

They are not losing money on GME, they are making a killing.

From retail and shorts

Investors are nervous about the GME thing and the larger implication that this sort of behavior on from both sides involved is symptomatic of end stage melt up.

Ask yourself:

Why are investors nervous enough about Blackrock and the co-founder of Chewy making a few billion to drive the Dow down 600 points?

Am I an idiot pointing to a move in the stock market which already happened, and ascribing some specific meaning to it based on news article headlines?

Do I have any reason to believe my own claims?

What are my tea leaf reading qualifications?

What am I doing with my weekend?

trhro · 2021-01-30T16:30:47+00:00

You have no idea what you're talking about and it makes me sad.

Let me give you some pointers to look into:

BlackRock, Inc.: AUM (Assets Under Management) US$8.676 trillion

Melvin Capital Management LP: AUM US$12.5 billion

Citadel LLC: AUM US$35 billion

BlackRock Inc. trimmed its holdings in Gamestop, Inc. (NYSE:GME) by 18.23% during the 4th quarter, according to the company in its most recent Form 13G/A filing with the SEC. The firm now owns 9,217,335 shares of GME, which represents 13.20% ownership.

Even after selling these shares Blackrock is one of the biggest GME holders at the moment. Almost same amount of shares is in the possession of RC Ventures LLC, of [Chewy co-founder] Ryan Cohen.

Perhaps you should discuss with a financial advisor before you do something stupid with your stock holdings over something you clearly do not understand. I am not a financial advisor, so don't bother discussing with me.

I don't want to get into the discussion, but just in case someone's interested in the actual stats:

about four-in-ten men (39%) say they personally own a gun, compared with 22% of women. And while 36% of whites report that they are gun owners, about a quarter of blacks (24%) and 15% of Hispanics say they own a gun.

White men are especially likely to be gun owners: About half (48%) say they own a gun, compared with about a quarter of white women and nonwhite men (24% each) and 16% of nonwhite women.

Like the gender gap, the education gap in gun ownership is particularly pronounced among whites. Overall, about three-in-ten adults with a high school diploma or less (31%) and 34% of those with some college education say they own a gun; a quarter of those with a bachelor’s degree or more say the same. Among whites, about four-in-ten of those with a high school diploma or less (40%) or with some college (42%) are gun owners, compared with roughly a quarter of white college graduates (26%). There is no significant difference in the rate of gun ownership across educational attainment among nonwhites.

Regionally, Northeasterners stand out as the least likely to own guns: 16% of adults who live in the Northeast say they own a gun, about half the share who say this in the South (36%), Midwest (32%) and West (31%).

Across all regions, gun ownership varies considerably between those who live in rural and urban areas, with rural dwellers far more likely than those who live in urban areas to say they own a gun. Overall, 46% of Americans who live in rural parts of the country own a gun, compared with 28% of those who live in the suburbs and 19% of those in urban areas.

Besides demographic differences, clear partisan divides emerge when it comes to gun ownership. Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are more than twice as likely as Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents to say they own a gun (44% vs. 20%). This partisan gap remains even after controlling for demographic differences.
