I get that being trapped in a tube that is essentially a tiny little bubble of habitable area in the vast, hostile, emptiness of space can already be super claustrophobia inducing and they are vetted and trained for that. But it seems once you are up there and you realize the world's leaders in space, and the people that sent you can't figure out how to get you home, that would trigger that panic in anyone. If there is an emergency you have no escape and there is no rescue coming.

Had a buddy who's last name was Richards, his dad's name was Harry.

Harry Richards... it had to be on purpose right?

I guess I work in the medical field and I know a lot of doctors are overwhelmed and are really only looking for the quickest way to get you back out the door. They aren't "lazy" ... I guess, just overworked. But also lazy. I live in a rural town, good doctors don't come here.

I do agree that if you are obese and have unrelated medical issues the doctors will very much say "you need to lose weight", and call it done. And that is x10 if you are a woman, for some reason. Yeah, these problems may not be so bad if I was not obese, and they may not have existed is I wasn't (bulging disks my back, in my case etc.), but the truth is, I am fat, I still need my problems fixed, go ahead and do the surgery to trim the disk that is pinching my nerves to fix my back because otherwise I can't move and I will just get fatter and my back will just get worse. Perpetually.

It is just laziness and they have a blanket scapegoat to use to get out of doing their job if you walk in and are overweight.

It's quite literally the medical term.... i... I am an obese man, I am an obese man mostly of my own doing, their might be some psychological or socioeconomic reasons, but it's mostly the fact that food is good, exercise sucks, and impulse control. I wasn't born this way, I wasn't treated as nonhuman for something beyond my control, and obese is not used for the sole purpose of being derogatory.

Those two words are very, very different. Even if you are obese because of a thyroid, or injury, or whatever, a doctor can, and will call you obese in your medical reports. And if you can't handle that because you can't handle that slight uncomfortability, no wonder you are still obese.

"We" aren't going after them for this because they all do it, Trump just said it out loud. Welcome to American politics. This will never get fixed because the people in power stand to lose millions of dollars if it does. People will posture, pander, and pretend, but they will never get a majority willing to take the pay cut and actually fix it. It's ~~the~~ a glitch in a capitalist republic.

Also in a republican stronghold so he can get that Feely good echo chamber going.

Please no, don't pander to the right. Pick up the people farther to the left and invigorate younger voters. We've had enough centrists and doing this unravels where your momentum is actually coming from. But I guess you have to appease the doners....

They literally have built their entire careers on baseless claims that even their followers know are BS, they just chose to believe because they just want to echo their hatred. All of their shit is baseless and they scream it from the rooftops until it sticks. It's just a shit post in a different form. Their entire campaign is a baseless shitpost.

So fuck it, JD Vance fucks couches and it's fucking WIERD. Let it destroy him. Finally we are fighting fire with fire.

Not too bad now days with SSDs and fast boot, but back in the day that may have been a 15+ minute mistake. Getting into windows took several minutes and you would still have several minutes of nearly unresponsivness as background processes booted, including your anti-virus. Usually you clicked the power button and waked away for a bit. And the trick to speeding up your pc was to dig into the startup folder and delete as many programs as possible so they wouldn't start at boot, because for some reason everything wanted to.

The killing of civilians elicits no response, however, taking out the leader of a terrorist group does?
