I had the same issue for years, and silly little thing that has helped me a lot is that I put a reminder in my calendar that simply says "Just because you stopped using a system, doesn't mean the system is bad". That's e

Guanfacine is a non stimulant med, might be worth talking to your doc about.

Asking because I am genuinely curious, if you are willing to share: What mindset do you have where you keep doing an activity that normally results in you coughing up blood? I know that sounds like a super disrespectful question, it's

That kind of comports with how the UI in windows has behaved from 98>XP>7>8>10. In 10, you get the windows 10 UI on most of your top-level interfaces, but once you dive into a sub-menu you get some legacy UI and if you dig down

Death rate from Covid among the vaccinated definitely does paint a picture that the vaccine does help prevent Covid deaths, you are right. What troubles me is the VAERS data.

Your example elides the fact that the vaccine situation was about risk-benefit analysis in many people's minds. A more appropriate example might be a situation where someone ran their car off the road because they perceived (possibly i

I do agree, it depends on the job. I can tell you that this kind of litmus test was not being applied though in many cases.

I don't work for the Federal government. The order(s) were very broad and reached far far down the chain so as to effect as many people as possible.

Good point, and now that we know the vaccines don't prevent transmission, the same goes for the vaccinated I suppose.

I don't think conflating childhood vaccines with the Covid vaccines is fair, to be honest.

It was due to an executive order, so I don't know how much more 'by the state' you can get. Just because you didn't see it happen doesn't mean it didn't happen. I saw it happen, and I saw it happen to a lot of

It sounds good, but I can tell you from experience that getting the exception on medical grounds is quite difficult, even with pretty incontrovertible reasons. Doctors were very much pressured to not put their career on the line and would r

Yeah, I definitely realize many people have had to deal with this sort of thing longer than I have. It was certainly eye-opening.

"Do this or you will be unemployable" doesn't sound like force to you?

>I don't think many would have argued that someone with a legitimate medical reason to not get vaccinated should be excluded from anything. That was not my experience at all . New York, notably had no medical exceptions for enterin

I think that's reasonable. It's a shame this viewpoint was almost totally absent from the discussion over the last few years. Incredibly disappointing.

Two doctors told me the vaccine may not be safe for someone with my rare condition (There's a list of medications and interventions as long as my arm that I can't take because they could literally kill me). In spite of this, neith

The irony here is that bloggers were a big part of internet counterculture not so long ago, and now we've got these long screeds written on blogs that exude a sort of boomer-ish "back in my day (6 years ago)...". The take

Yesss! I haven't learned how to play the game nearly as much as I want but it's so unique in it's scope.

It sounds hyperbolic, but I genuinely think this has a 20% chance to be great-filter level event.

Communication is extremely complicated. It's also not a solo sport. There are at least two people involved at all times. There are some specific skills that you can practice which I have found have helped me a lot with this problem. -E

The fact that at some point over the last 6 years, a huge bipartisan majority of people expressed doubts about the security of our elections (One party in 2016, another in 2020) and yet very little real change has been accomplished is prett

I could be wrong, but isn't it flat-out illegal for a company to refuse to remove/delete your account on your request? I'm pretty sure GDPR, at least, requires this explicitly.

A couple generations ago it was not uncommon for people in rural areas to buy old boxcars from the railroad for this purpose. My grandfather did it.

It's not actually clear to me that free speech (in the constitutional sense) is Elon's driving factor here. His calculus seems to be: 1. People will find a way to say what they think online. 2. If everyone splinters into their own

Domestic pigs will grow tusks and thick hair if left to go feral. Curious how much of the visual change in medieval pigs is due to the fact that they were free range, more or less.
