I’ve noticed this in primary care
A lot of the questions I get are almost too dumb to answer effectively and am certainly not prepared to answer in the moment bc I never would have thought of it being a possible question
Humor us with some dumb patient questions , perhaps in a new thread “Dumb shit my patients/clients/customers said to me because of social media brain rot”.
 
Thanks for posting this. I've never closely looked at a map of the Yucatan. I didn't realize it was that big, which is to say that I thought Belize extended further north than it does. I learned something here. Probably not what was intended, but hey -- positive externalities are good!

We need a SMDH emoji.
 
But godalmighty I just can't get past the absolute idiocy of the people who voted for this scumbag. What were you idiots thinking?
They weren't thinking - they voted for him precisely because of shit like this. They see him as endlessly entertaining, are convinced that nothing bad will ever happen to them because of anything Trump does, and love that he upsets other people (thinking people - or as they call them, snobs) so much, especially liberals with college degrees. "Look at all those people getting red-faced over him threatening to just take Greenland or the Panama Canal! Ha ha! All those snooty liberals losing their minds over this. Oh, I'm loving this!" He's "blowing up the system", "turning over the applecart", "disrupting the status quo" or whatever the hell they want to call it.

The fact that he's also causing very real damage to our relationships with our allies and doing the bidding of people like Putin doesn't bother them in the least, or matter to them at all. He's fun, he's entertaining, he hates the people they hate and makes them mad, and so they love it and want it to continue. Until, that is, his bullshit and idiocy and antics gets us into a war or causes a (at minimum) severe recession or leads to lots of Americans getting killed here or abroad, or something he does starts to affect them personally. But even that won't change their minds - they'll just somehow still blame Democrats and liberals and their usual suspects rather than Dear Leader (or themselves for voting for him).

Humans learn much but integrate little from the historical outcomes of disastrous political behavior. Recently been brushing up on my Mussolini. Your quote, above, is a near verbatim description of how a historian described the Italian pop circa 1922 (at least the black shirt supporters). I.e. ignorant of the historical precedents, ignorant of their inevitable own demise, and placing higher value on political entertainment than their own rights or the moral fabric of society.

ttump's playbook has a stunning number of parallels to Mussolini and inevitably to Hitler (I didn't know until the last couple of years how closely Hitler copied and pasted Mussolini).

We need a Smedley Butler.

 
What we really need is a congressional investigation into why someone would name their child "Smedley." I suppose that name isn't Donkey Teeth bad, it gives Trashelle Owens a run for her money. I still cannot to this day understand how someone could name their daughter Trashelle. Even Oscar the Grouch would pass on that.
 


Ah, so there IS plenty of money out there in this “broken” economy. It’s just that Republicans refuse to spend it unless one of their own is POTUS. Got it.


Well, do you think MAGA and the Trumplicans are blaming Trump or the GQP for anything?
What I think is that MAGA is gonna have to sit in the corner with a dunce hat on and their thumbs up their asses in 2028. With total control of POTUS, House and Senate, there is no one else in power to blame. The Callatoroys of the world basically have four years and carte blanche to prove that their way is the right one. If (read: when) that doesn't happen, they own it. No one else.
 
I think the Left had a good chance at truth, but they ruined it with their excesses and lost this one just like they lost the common voter and lost the election. Now X is a sewer. Look for more lunacy on Facebook.

If you control the language, you control the story and I think the average person just got tired of forced words like Latinx, or changing master bedrooms to primary bedrooms, man hole covers to person hole covers, heteronormative, BIPOC, etc. Unfortunately, we are going to pay a high price.
I think that is a silly, silly idea.

But if we got fascism due to a few terms folks dislike, then we deserve to have our country fall apart because we're too stupid to continue to exist.
 
0%. Trump couldn't pull off a military invasion even if he wanted to. This is all theatrics to troll our democratic allies. It arouses his base.
and it arouses libs. Sends them into hysterics. Not as much as the election did but not a bad follow up to the election.

Why did you decide to become a troll? Seriously. You had potential. It's sad to see you throwing it all away.
 
Also covered in the fire thread but may have disappeared there since Musk apparently deleted this tweet.
