It’s not unrelated that the VP is Catholic btw.
Many Catholic churches in the US have dedicated Spanish-language Masses. And it's sad to think that Latino Catholics might be skipping those Masses today to avoid making themselves easy targets for ICE.
Catholics represent fewer than 20% of U.S. adults, however, they make up 61% of the population at risk of deportation. Trump’s immigration crackdown is disproportionately hitting Catholic communities.

this and Chinese food is *The* Jewish tradition for the 25th in the US
Besides the point that I am skeptical it can be established that going to the movies on the 25th is a specifically Jewish tradition it was mostly the way in which the original post talked down to an entire population about their religious minorities' relation to Christmas that I flagged.

tbh I don’t mind compromising at all, the issue is when you spend all week compromising and then people act like the one thing you ask for help with is unreasonable

I'd argue it's worse than a blank page, in the same way that garment pieces cut slightly off the grain are worse than not having cut yet.
When a thing is wrong, it will suck your energy into making it Less Wrong, which is often not the same as making it right.

Just a thing about this: a common statement in writing is that you can fix crap, but you can't fix a blank page.
I have heard AI apologists claim that this is why it's fine to generate a first draft.
Now, to be clear, fuck this.
But also: an AI draft is a fucking blank page.

I know I don’t talk about writing much. It is because I am writing so slowly.
But I want you to know that I am taking a part of this story that absolutely sucked and took me months to produce four of the worst chapters I have ever written and in the edit I figured out how to fix it.

The act of writing is *thinking*. If you do not allow yourself to think thoughts that feel wrong, you will never get a feel for what feels *right*.

The point of writing crap is not that you should barf out anything.
It's that you should be aware as you are writing it what the flaws are, and you need to get through it the first time, because the act of doing so informs you what is wrong.

so now my mom is being weird and passive aggressive to me because the pour over coffee maker fell in the trash can so I washed it before using it. She wonders why my most important qualification for college was to get as far away from her as possible and why I never come back

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own
America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities.
The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.

I think we’ve moved past the need for the word “ma’am” as a society. Maybe I’m projecting due to gender dysphoria but I don’t think anyone has EVER called me “ma’am” who hasn’t been the rudest mfer on the planet

this is why i avoid generics. they are straight up not the same medication
this is a wider systemic problem, but i will say her team was deeply negligent for not informing her so she could double-check her RX. the pill mill i got ADHD meds from in 2018 gave me better information about generics!

When Hannah’s pharmacy began filling her tacrolimus prescription with a generic version, the lung transplant patient didn't know something very important:
Months earlier, an FDA-commissioned study concluded that this generic was not equivalent to the brand drug -- and that her life was at risk.

Once for a job pre-covid, I had to survey multiple floors of a building that a financial firm built out as emergency office space in 2002. It sat forever empty but always operational in case another event like 9/11 happened.

had a dream last night that i took MDMA and i legit felt like i was on MDMA, which leads me to believe that I can do something to induce that feeling in my brain without the use of drugs. maybe i should try to use lucid dreaming to at least get that feeling while asleep

I don't get why parents still do the whole Santa thing past like kindergarten. Don't you want to start having a collaborative relationship with your children and preparing them to sniff out misinformation? especially if they start asking questions, don't you want to reward critical thinking?
