The entire point of, OK, my phone really wants to call it Anastasia so I guess we’re doing that? The entire point of Anastasia (as administered by a board-certified Anastasiologist) during sugary. Sugary? Haven’t I suffered enough? The entire point of Anastasia during augury. Jesus Christ. Hold up. You know what, augury is preferable to sugary. Augury is obviously performed by an auger (makes sense if you give it a think) whereas sugary is performed by…? A sugardaddy? NO THANK YOU. Anyway. The entire point of Anastasia is so that you don’t know what music your sturgeon. Fuck right off. Was playing. While you were under. You’re not supposed to wake up from Anastasia and immediately realize you managed to get earwormed by Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” during your sugary.
you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

A prosecutor once asked for bail on my client because he had like 63 convictions and I was like judge... 63 convictions sounds like a man who showed up to court at least 63 times. And the judge was like yea you right /end description
“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”
Dear Mother,
I expect you will see in the papers that I am wounded. It's not really so at all. I was going down to some new trenches we took over at Hill 60 with my Company, when a stray bullet at its last gasp went through the flesh of the inside of my thigh. I coulnd't feel any exit wound and though it had just gone in and stuck there. So after we'd finished the relief I went back and got the doctor to tie it up. We found it had just gone through and I found the bullet inside my breeches, so I'm sending it home for you to look at.

I’m simply tired of people’s unwillingness to hold more than one thought in their heads at a time. Trump being an asshole to Italy’s PM doesn’t mean she, herself, isn’t a huge right-wing asshole. Trump launching an illegal war against Iran doesn’t mean its government isn’t an oppressive theocracy that has brutalized women, murdered its own people, and funded terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas to oppress and kill other groups of people in the Middle East. The Israeli government being really terrible doesn’t mean Hezbollah and Hamas aren’t terrorist groups and that terrorism isn’t bad. You really don’t have to repost le epic memes supporting any of these people or entities. I would say that the average user on here has the mind of a child, but that’s an insult to children.
Here's the problem: Students are increasingly finding that accommodations near college campuses are substandard or unaffordable. Meanwhile, older people in care often experience social isolation, which studies demonstrate adversely impacts both their mental and physical health.
Here’s the problem: Students are increasingly finding that accommodations near college campuses are substandard or unaffordable. Meanwhile, older people in care often experience social isolation, which studies demonstrate adversely impacts both their mental and physical health.
What’s the solution? Humanitas Retirement Village, a long-term care facility in the city Deventer in the Netherlands, offers free accommodation to students in exchange for 30 hours of their time per month to help the older residents. Currently, six students are residents in the village. This arrangement provides a mutual benefit: rent-free accommodation for students and a younger demographic to help support the care of, and foster interactions with, older residents.
As part of their volunteer agreement, students teach residents various skills — such as using email and social media — and provide companionship. While these exchanges are important, it is living in such proximity that helps relationships and connections develop, eases loneliness, and makes a positive contribution to the mental health of the seniors.
Results:
Two more senior care homes in the Netherlands have adopted the Humanitas model.
There are similar intergenerational-living programs in other cities like Lyon, France, and Cleveland, Ohio, in the U.S.
this is such a good idea. not just good for the elders, either! if i’d been hanging out with grandpas during my attempt at college, rather than floating rootless among party boys, there’s a chance i would’ve stuck it. and now that i’m middle-aged, i’m looking at my future and really hoping i’m not going to end up lonely and bored in a residential hospital, or stuck among no one but other old folks whose only common experience with me is being old.
segregating people by age is so artificial. the natural state of humanity is for elders to live among us and teach us.
i don’t agree with the emotionally charged assumptions a lot of people make when writing about this problem, that we put elders away out of sight because we fear mortality or something; i think it’s an unintended side effect of the fact that modern people are too busy and broke to take care of elders at home. since we’re not about to go back to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, we need to find a different solution to the isolation of our elders.
this is a really, really good one.
