  I'm diligently reading up on medical cannabis laws and I keep seeing "strictly limited to ensure the sickest patients get it". ... Because of the finite quantity of weed in the universe? As "the sickest patients", I call bullshit. There is absolutely no relationship between getting the medication to me and limiting access for other people. That makes no sense.

  There's a thread of USA folks explaining to each other why they're all born around September (it's because everyone fucks in the cold). This is fascinating because just a few days ago my family was discussing why every australian is born in October (because everyone fucks over the new years leave period). Adjacent to the classic [when a user tells you it doesn't work for them they are almost always right. When a user explains why, they're almost always w...

  Me: wakes up to a series of "I'm not CWing this! I know it's shocking but people need to see it!" Also me: what am I even looking at? Is that the USA? Are those... Americans walking on the streets?

  Imagine being a young singer in 2010, going to a music school and having them spend more than half the class time on responsible use of autotune. You tell them you're not singing into microphones at all right now and you don't have a computer, you actually want to learn about scales, reading music, warm-ups, how to engage the diaphragm, voice box anatomy and building out a repertoire. They tell you that before any of that you must learn how to use autotune properly and how not to use i...

  I started animal lab tech training fairly young. A lot of what I learned was about how animals are and what we can do around them. Nature will be what it is, to achieve things involving animals we must know what they can and will do. It's useless to make a fence animals are capable of jumping then get mad when they do. It's silly to put an object that reacts badly to urine or chewing in any place where there are animals under your care and it's ridiculous to lecture the a...

  It doesn't "create the same output as junior staff" unless it's producing senior staff. Apprenticeship doesn't exist to create swept salon floors, it exists to create hairdressers.

  Loving LLMs and hating trans people provides insecure white men the same thing that The Selfish Gene did: a source of authority that makes them always right and everyone else ridiculous. Incidentally it's the same thing God provides.

  I've decided instead of becoming a better musician (which has been on the back burner for a decade) I'm just going to put together a repertoire so [The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All] that no one cares.

  I've heard so many versions of this story in my career: "We stopped for [another part of our party] so they could [pray, tend a memorial, do a ritual] and that's when we found the specimen we had been looking for all day and I just think that's so beautiful and cool" No field worker has ever told me they think this is any different from the classic [Take A Piss: Find El Dorado] effect. When you stop actively looking and do something else that forces y...

  My audience will likely know all of Tom Lehrer's work, anything that's been touched by the Muppets and the most obscure Monty Python. They're unlikely know anything rural and I don't think they know any dirty songs by women.

  Lake Goldsmith Steam Rally this year was wall to wall dickheads. -Confederate flag prominently displayed on the corner of the main oval -commentator on the loudspeaker talking constantly about how you better watch out because he's not politically correct, never gets around to saying anything politically incorrect, just keeps saying that over and over -kept getting that vibe when people were offended by my n95 and needed to loudly declare their insecurities. I wasn't wearing a m...

  Neurologists: when you get a migraine, simply lie down in a dark quiet room. People with migraines: I also have that other disability where I can't carry one if those in my handbag. I know, having both is a doozy.

  I'm going to start putting out the vibe that pensioner is the identity whereas UBI is the name for the payment. I live in a god's waiting room where 'pensioner' carries a similar weight to farmer: apparently it's embarrassing to be one so you have to go into every interaction blustering about how it's fine. You might have whatever feelings about being a pensioner or not, but qualifying for UBI is surely to be celebrated.
