Imagine the amount of propaganda it took to convince millions of people that healthcare, food assistance, social programs, clean water, clean air, good wages, housing, equal rights, diversity, and a healthy planet for all people was somehow a threat to America and to Christianity.

Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.

Branson Reese, whoever you are, I keep your words in my heart all the time.
"branson reese, whoever you are" put some respect on the smooth sharks one fear man's name
we should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend
The worst-sounding piece of advice I've ever been given that does actually work is to frame your health concerns as coming from someone close to you, whom you do not believe. Tell your doctor that you've been having pain and your mom/friend/partner thinks it might be an ovarian cyst, but you don't think so because the pain is much more intense and it has to be something else. This gives your doctor an unseen third party to fight instead of you. They can't just tell this third party, who isn't present, that you pulled a muscle, they now need to prove to this third party that it is not an ovarian cyst.
At which point they will find an ovarian cyst, but they now get whatever fucked up satisfaction they derive out of proving you wrong, because you didn't believe it could a cyst at all, but guess what? They did find a cyst! It's such a good thing you didn't listen to your intuition and came to them to verify your lay diagnosis from that third party! Bonus? Doctor doesn't have to feel like they look stupid in front of a patient, which is really what all this is about. Not your health, why would you think your medical diagnosis is about your health? It's obviously about a doctor's potential ego.
And apparently this works. Apparently you just need to be able to always play 4D chess with your medical professionals in order to find an avenue of advocating for yourself and getting you medical needs met. Isn't that great?
I hate it here, actually.
I've had a lot of success with "It's very unlikely to be x but considering my medical history and previous medical advice it's probably better to be safe then sorry you know? I'm expecting it to be (something minor) but don't want to be reckless with my health you know?" It's important to act reluctant to be there and that you think this is low key a waste of your time but you are trusting doctors more than yourself
And usually doctors immediately take the "of course you need to be checked out! That's the responsible thing to do!"
If they don't order testing adding on "I know it'll probably be nothing but can I get (test) or something to double check? I'd leave it but I've had a doctor tell me this sort of thing needs that and id like the confirmationwhen (relative) fusses at me"

the tragedy of tumblr is you will inevitably meet people who you should be having a sleepover with. you should be rolling around on their floor and rummaging through their fridge and watching shitty movies with. you should be shopping with should be going out to a cafe with should be wandering through the aquarium with. people who you should be experiencing quotidian joys with... and you cannot! because they live one million miles away
âThe chaotic response to cyclospora, which has sickened more than 4,000 people in the US with thousands more thought to have also been affected, has been highlighted by the attempts to identify and halt the source of the outbreak. The FDA identified lettuce from Taylor Farms, a supplier to Taco Bell, as being linked to the outbreak, only to then backtrack. Taylor Farms has said that the FDA apologized to the company for this, a claim that the FDA has denied. The federal food regulator still maintains there is strong evidence connecting Taylor Farms, which has recalled its lettuce, to the outbreak. Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, said last week the outbreak was âunder controlâ, even as the FDA expanded its investigation into 7,400 potential cases across nine states.â

Stupid fucking MAHA and MAGA fucks are the dumbest fucking motherfuckers on the planet.
reminds me of
the shellfish allergy NO NO FUCKING S HRIMP OR HE D IE post
reminded me of this
at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you
at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.
at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly
at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.
at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.
At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.
Unless you speak whatever the language in this is (maybe Russian? It sounds at least related to Russian), you wonât understand exactly what theyâre saying
You will however, understand exactly what theyâre saying from the context of the video
And you will get to hear this personâs wonderful laughter
Sound definitely needs to be on
Sounds like German to me, but this is hilariously bad planning.
Itâs definitly not german, but god i need to know who planned this bathroom
it is 100% Russian, and i am wheezing in the same language now
going to attempt a rough translation because this is so funny to me
itâs not going to be very literal because trying to translate every mumbled phrase and conversational word will be Very Annoying
âSo hereâs yourâhereâs our hotel room. The door to the bathroom is clear, so you enter the bathroom, and everythingâs normal, you look at yourself, and everyone whoâs in the hallway can see you. And over hereâs the shower, itâs relatively private. You enter the shower, and like wash yourselfâ *breaks down laughing* Well okay okay, you decide to wash your hands, or sit down on the toilet andâ *another fit of laughter* Fine, fine, itâs actually all okay because you grab this and youâŠuh, and youâre like âI want some privacyââ, and you closeâyou close the curtain, and then you close this curtainâ *laughs* And you close that curtain too, and now you want to sit on the toilet and youâre like âOkay everythingâs closed, you canât see in", and so you sit down on the toiletâ *intense laughter*â
The Beholding
I took a bus to a conference today and the bus driver fully stopped the bus to identify and chastise a person who was playing music out loud on their phone. That is how you get me to actually complete the customer service survey specifically so I can give you top ratings
It's days later and I'm still thinking about this man. Full ass bus pulled over to the side of a state highway with the hazards on, stalking down the center aisle intoning "ALL RIGHT. WHO'S GOT IT. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ON SPEAKER." I want to commission a statue of him. a hero. a king.
