Forty years… forty… years… I wonder if there was something *new *that our liberal democracy started forty years ago, where the focus shifted towards expanding economic growth at all costs.

New and different but still liberal. Neo maybe.

National flags are jingoist nonsense. Patriotism is a social disease.

I’d call it the Slop Bucket

Anti-trust is not about seeking perfection, it’s a defense against abuses of power. That’s a good thing unless you like to be abused by the powerful, in which case lick some more boots.

Feels like an ad

Such a strange thing to celebrate. This kind of service should really be run by the municipality. Like, my city has a dozen eco-stations for dropping off some chemicals, electronic waste and furniture or other household stuff that can be broken down for scrap. E-waste is always free.

Won’t somebody please think of the petite bourgeousie.

Everything I know about liquid containers I learned from the TSA. Any liquid could be a secret explosive, so Israel had to blow it up to be sure it was really water. Destroying the water was an unfortunate and necessary measure to ensure the safety of all Gazans.

And, if anything, EV’s are more dangerous to cyclists. They’re significantly heavier and quieter.

I’ve smoked so much weed in the years since legalization. I was a regular smoker before, too, but my consumption habits spiked after - especially during the COVID years. As in heavy, chronic, daily use.

I started cutting down drastically late last year, and I’m quitting for good now. Cannabis hasn’t had a positive effect on my mental health.

Chronic and heavy use have definitions, for anyone who doesn’t know. Regularly consuming cannabis twice or more per week is considered Chronic use. Heavy use is anything more than two times per week or ten times per month. Almost all of my friends are heavy, chronic users.

Definitely some. I’m sure they’ll be building housing for the staff on site at the “Arctic satellite ground station” and “northern operations hubs”.

Just join the army. Free room and board.

And the rest overestimate how much they know.

I assume you’ll be using Dragon Medical One. Nuance is a well established organization, with users in a broad range of professions, and their medical product is extensively used by many specialists. The health system where I live has been in the process of phasing out transcriptionists in favor of it for a decade or so.

The only potential privacy concerns a hospital would care about would be if they are storing your transcripts on their servers, because that will contain sensitive information about patients. It will be impossible to get any administrator to care about your voice data.

This tide is unlikely one you will be able to stem, but you could stop dictating and type it yourself.

Most Christian politicians carry the bible metaphorically, in their minds and with their actions, not literally on their person. Makes for an easier time claiming they don’t want to institute a theocracy. Sounds like your methodology here can only result in furthering Christian hegemony.

That’s how my parent served it, and they were wrong.
