"moist owlette" 🤣

My hospital bought us pizza. Yesterday. On my day off.

Or "y'all"

Saying "chat" to address a group or room full of people isn't different at all from addressing them as "y'all"

I don't find this sensationalist. I find it narrative for members of the public who don't know about this kind of medical care.

I'm just quoting what's actually in the news article, which I didn't find to be sensationalist at all.

1. Lmao NO. Disabled people work. We have this whole law about it and everything in the United States where employers have to provide reasonable accommodations and allow you time off work without compromising your job status.

I'm disabled. I work full time. I could not fulfill these exercise requirements, but I can hold down a job. That is not a rare category of human being.

We should have universal healthcare, not this nonsense from a private employer.

We know for a fact that around 50% of people with RA will not respond to TNF inhibitors and there's a blood test that can identify those people with about a 60% success rate, except insurance companies won't cover it?

That's not a non-story. That's clinically significant.

And the article mentions two other drugs in addition to Orencia, which are not t-cell signalling inhibitors. This is not an ad for a drug. It's a good article.

The patients were forced to take a drug that had a high likelihood of being ineffective without being permitted access to a test that has a high likelihood of detecting that ineffectiveness.

Yes, it was too short! Important plot moments had no room to breathe. It got confusing a couple of times, and the really good emotional moments went by too fast.

That's the kind of decision making that just mystifies me. I have no idea how the studio can screen that movie and think pushing it out with such a short runtime was a successful strategy.

I agree with others that I don't think superhero fatigue is real. Through this whole bad quality slog, I've still watched every MCU movie...once.

I've kept hoping for them to stop and reassess the production problems the pandemic caused, and I was shocked they just kept pushing out all those half-assed projects even though they clearly knew the problems.

I really had high hopes for The Marvels. It had the look, it had all the pieces in place to finally be the return to greatness, and it just wasn't.

So I really hope this break is the full reassessment and readjustment of how they want to handle diversifying creative styles with new directors and things like The Eternals while still maintaining the level of story and character engagement we got through the Infinity Saga.

I still completely believe they have it in them to do something else great. They just need to stop and make an actual plan before steamrolling ahead. It's not all just gonna take care of itself and I hope they know that now.

I'm in Massachusetts and I heat my house primarily with a central electric heat pump and supplemental mini-split heat pump. I do have a natural gas backup just in case, but I haven't needed it this year at all even down to 18⁰F

"Self-medication" is a synonym for maladjusted coping mechanisms. It's a euphemism. They used the term correctly.

I'm a nurse in a hospital. We absolutely do NOT consider uninsured people seeking healthcare to be theft.

Would we prefer that people have Medicaid and seek primary care services elsewhere? Of course. So one of the things we do when people come in is get them signed up. Should that be our responsibility? Of course not. But here we are.
