Yeah doctors largely want to help people... Scrubs did a great job of portraying the human side of doctors and how they get squeezed in the middle of wanting to provide the best care and the healthcare industry's desire to profit at all costs.

Uhhhh where are you getting this idea from? The left is mostly against the genocide and crimes against humanity that Israel is commiting. A lot of Jews are against Zionism. Antizionism and anti Judaism are two very completely different things and I'm worried you don't understand the difference

There's a conspiracy that Jews basically hold most of the power in the world and have done so for a long time which is the perfect Boogeyman because Jews are ethnically diverse and ambiguous, indiscernible from a typical "white person"... It's not about hate, hate has to be targeted. It's about fear. Fear is the real center, the emotion that justifies hatred.

Not a Republican but a lot of notable right wing figureheads are speaking up about it publicly. People with actual power are making noise. Turning point USA which is basically the nonprofit PAC that the runs their local and national media circus has spoken against it. I think they're all realizing the idea is bigger than the leadership. They might be ready to cut ties

My immediate reaction is that the owner probably took the picture himself trying to go viral and immediately took it down. Nothing gets solved in this country anymore unless there's a dollar to be made and looking like a good person is somehow more important than being a good person. Why would the person even read it on the front door? Why not discretely package some food and put it next to the dumpster with a note stuck to it? Nothing about this makes sense when you analyze it. The few real heroes of this country are unsung, the rest is just virtue signaling.

Dude I'm fucking wheezing while having hotel breakfast. What is this style of humor called? It's like a perfect combination of all my worst fears somehow made hilarious.

It used to be a way bigger deal when computers were very memory scarce, if you needed to say, represent 1024 values, that means you'd use 10 bits or 2 bytes, the remaining 6 bits could be used to store other related information like flags but more often than not it would be waste (unused values that still have to be represented as 0s)

These numbers are pretty arbitrary nowadays but they still show up a lot in computing. They didn't choose 256 so they could represent it in a byte, the real reason is probably that groups larger than 256 can't realistically be managed by users.

That's my 2¢ anyways.

That's awesome, I love hearing stories like this. I was lucky to have access to a PC since I was about 8 years old and computer literacy is probably the most useful skill I have. Nothing teaches PC literacy better than pirating software with complex readmes lol or having to fix the family computer because you infected it with a virus. Had me stressing, looking at the task manager and searching for the origins of every .exe to find the culprit

I probably wouldn't let my son install a GPU until he's a bit older just because of the cost lol but it is simple enough for a teenager to do, I think.

The real take is to get kids into PC gaming from a young age. Kids are super patient with each other and now my kid is doing things like installing mods for games that he plays. It's also massively improved his reading which is mostly how I learned English myself.

At a certain point, money is not about wealth or what you can buy with it but rather about power. And in life's twists, those who amass a decent amount of wealth and power come to believe they are "chosen" because of how society treats them. The poors worship the rich. if we were living in a sane society, these amounts of wealth would be looked at disgustingly by society. Shit is beyond fucked and I don't think anything can unfuck modern society.

if these people were any kind of Christian they would be worried about the end of their mortal lives. Instead they are speedrunning everything Christ taught us NOT to be.

Is it though? Just kidding of course I know it is. You measure ass to tip right? Right.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar. I'm a 30yo M and I didn't really speak English properly until I was about 14 years old. By that time, teachers just assumed I'm an asshole or being intentionally difficult. When I was younger, teachers told my parents I was likely ADHD and that they should take me to a healthcare processional, but being Hispanic in the early 2000s, to my parents, that was akin to calling me mentally disabled, so they just told me there was nothing wrong with me and that I just needed to apply myself.

I've went to primary care doctors over the last few years and described my symptoms, high peaks and long valleys when it comes to my mood and energy and my inability to focus. Unfortunately, I think I've been masking for so long that everyone I talk to about this assumes I'm depressed. Even took some depression meds for a while, gave it an honest try and couldn't stand the side effects.

Not sure if I should just resign myself to this reality. I've failed upwards enough through enough very painful trial and error to land myself a solid career, but my energy and motivation is getting really hard to manage, despite the fact that I'm doing everything I can to live a healthy lifestyle(exercise daily, good sleep, etc)
