It’s not. Trump is quite vocal about his plans to “reform” healthcare.

Is this a thing people say unironically? It’s as dumb as saying “just go be a movie star”

In my experience, this highly depends on the college. Mine really didn’t do shit for me as far as networking goes. And what connections i did make didn’t end up helping anyway. Maybe it starts mattering more once you’ve got some experience?

I’ve heard there’s an enormous demand for experienced tradespeople, but apprenticeships are pretty much full up…

Kind of a nobody-wins situation. Money to be made, just not by anyone on the ground floor.

Doesn’t help if students manually type the assignment requirements instead of just copying & pasting the entire document in there

I mean, presumably he isn’t just taking them to the junkyard… Someone out there is probably still driving those cars

Metal. A lot of people kinda freak out when they hear you like metal of any kind. And not in a good way.

Unfortunately, from what I’ve heard, there absolutely are weird old dudes who will notice and comment on it

I’m not sure he fully grasps the concept of his own mortality

Depends on your goal. If you genuinely think you can change their mind then… Maybe. Otherwise, why not stick up for trans & intersex folks?

Damn, he was almost close to making a valid comment about how wildly overpriced funerals are today, then instead went full bore into super racism

Yikes. We’re all thinking about how covid disproportionately affects the elderly, but it also disproportionately affects people who live in denser population centers.

I don’t like talking about pandemics in terms of which political party they help, but I guess the dems may have been hit harder in the end…

Rachel sounds like a fun hang. Kinda like a reverse Karen.

Wow, looked it up just now; apparently the US is only #15, after a bunch of Pacific islands, and a couple others

Stupid people think they’re both caused solely by laziness

If it’s all a truly random selection, which I believe it was, then half of all people would cease to exist, leaving half of their gut biomes behind, still alive (albeit briefly). I guess the end result would be the snapped people leaving behind a mist of gross intestinal bacteria which would itself mostly die out without a host. Meaning much more than half of all gut biome bacteria would be killed as a result.

Of course it would make more sense to consider a person and their gut flora as one being, but the joke is about how stupid the initial conception of Thanos’ plan is, not creating an academically rigorous argument.

Yeah, I guess in their minds it’s preferable to entirely exterminate a local population than to assimilate with them

For conversation about various subjects with broad appeal and a left wing slant, sure.

For tech support or info on niche topics, not at all. Lemmy is not big enough, old enough, or easily indexed by search engines.

The porn is also pretty mid tbh

I’m from GA, and I never understood people calling all soda a coke. Giving someone a Pepsi when they asked for a coke is enough to start an altercation around here – they are not at all considered interchangeable

You’re not going to hear from men who actually do this because they don’t have a good reason and aren’t typically comfortable with the kind of introspection the question demands.

Some people are exclusionary pricks who look for excuses to judge others. They don’t have or need a reason. It’s bullying.
