‘Sawbones: a marital tour of misguided medicine’ is a show about the history of medicine in the ‘smart person explains thing to funny person’ genre. Medical doctor Syndey Mclroy goes over the history of a disease or treatment at her Podcaster husband Justin.

I think I’m an unironic Dengist now.

The democrats are also a fascist, anti worker party. It’s pathetic that this good cop bad cop routine works on you every time. You have no ability to see beyond the one stage managed false dilemma put immediately in front of you, nor to remember the one before. It’s like you have no object permanence.

You blueannon dullards really think everyone you argue with is a bot huh? Its that hard for you to imagine someone not enthused for the diet fash party? And if I am real I bet I’m the one in the echo chamber too aren’t I?

Oh I don’t give a shit about replacing Biden at this late hour. The time for that was years ago, this election is cooked. And anyway anyone acceptable to me would be completely unacceptable to the DNC. Thats the fucking problem. I’m voting PSL to register my demand for a socialist and trying to find some kind of org in my suburban hellscape.

That’s the FDA that let’s them feed chicken shit with bird flu to the cows right? And the “build back better” that completely failed to build a chip fab in the middle of the desert? And the loan relief that was deliberately written to be as easily blocked by the courts as possible? And the planes that keep crashing? I’m real impressed.

Did you ever notice how as the Republicans get more openly fascist the Democrat response is always to also get more fascist? Why shouldn’t they when they can always count on the support of marks like you? The only way to break the cycle is to put your fucking foot down and refuse to vote for anyone who fails to meet standards. If that means the dems never win again and join the whigs then good goddamn riddance, they were a hinderence anyway.

What part of those three and a half years makes him seem effective to you? The genocide? Is it how food costs twice as much now? Maybe your a fan of still catching covid at least once a year?

Yes but not every time. I can get there just by fantasizing but sometimes it’s nice not to think about it. I also like written erotica more than most men seem to and I think it’s because of how vividly I can visualize it.

Most Americans can’t be trusted.

OK fair, I guess if your not planning to act on it anyway then the stakes are pretty low. I don’t agree that llms reliably get basic information correct. “Glue is not pizza sauce” seems like a common fact to me but Googles llm disagrees for example.

LLMs are stochastic parrots. They just repeat the phrases most often used together in their training data in association with the words on your prompt. It’s like seeking medical advice from the predictive text on your phone keyboard.

Don’t ask medical questions of chat gpt. You may as well shake a magic 8 ball. Your legs are probably fine. Bodies just do weird stuff sometimes

The “economist” (pretend fucking discipline) they talked to is a dumbass. Phones have a fucking clock they don’t need a proxy to measure the time.

I sure as hell do

You could. I agree that it would be a good idea.

It’s a question of what is meant by “bastard”. Does it just mean someone interpersonaly shitty or is it being used as a shorthand for a more specific political characteristic? In a capitalist society any cop is a class enemy by definition and therefore a bastard in the political usage of the word regardless of their individual character. Under socialism I would expect the role to still attract aggressive unpleasant people for the reasons you list but they wouldn’t be betraying us for our bosses just by putting the uniform on.

When I try to tie a knot it works maybe 12% of the time

This is scruffy slander

As the foremost socialist country China is where shit actually happens. This makes arguments around China more emotionally intense because it feels like there’s actually something in contention, as opposed to arguments about what western socialism should be like which are basically worldbuilding. Intensely arguing for a long time eventually leads some people to take strange positions and hold them passionately. Especially on so heavily propagandized a subject.
