There would already be at least two factions fighting tooth and nail: pro Harris, and pro every other potential candidate. Do we want to risk PUMA and Bernie bro type division with only four months to reconcile?

I can't believe the number of people that think the DNC is cohesive and organized enough to find an entirely new candidate everyone agrees on before the convention.

If one could get past the ego, that's got to be some of the best free advice there is.

How do they think that would elicit sympathy? And not disgust?

I've been clearing a large tree that fell in my yard. Bits and pieces at a time. Buying a chainsaw, axe and splitting maul was a third of the cost of having it done professionally. And I'm really enjoying it! Force me into a desk job at your peril!

Other nurses I've worked with were/are antivax. Otherwise intelligent. But often education doesn't beat team politics. And often nurses just learn enough to pass the test, do the job, etc without really understanding the concepts that make medicine work.

In RN school, we're taught how vaccines work, but there's no critical thinking regarding antivax BS that surrounds it. There's such a broad base of medical info to cover, even hammering the nursing process (the scientific process) doesn't teach how to think critically about the info we learn.

That's crazy, because as a dialysis nurse, I've got a lot of patients who've had covid and/or the vaccination. And the patients that have had covid multiple times have a lot harder time with their access or the machine clotting. Especially while they actively have covid.

I would argue that oppressing people turns them into oppressors, not wordplay.

This is not a serious question. This is not a serious person. This is someone who goes to great mental effort to troll for a living instead of providing anything of value to society.

Peter David wrote stories that permeated my young life and well into the present. He's had a run of bad health and luck in a society that really doesn't pay him what he's worth. Give anything, if you can. And/or spread the word. gofund.me/9bb4120f

Given that Ross thinks people should just roll over to bullies, can someone just threaten to punch him until he shuts up?

It's kind of perverse, "No Shave November" is for prostate cancer awareness. Yet NNN can't be good for your prostate health.

It turns out you can play a bari sax (badly) with a tenor mouthpiece and reed. Ask me how I know!

Just stroll into his office at Twitter and advise him he's going to relinquish any control he has over the system or live the rest of his life in a black site.

It's because he's unfortunately just what enough of them want. I live in a red area. They aren't coherent. They don't actually care about the economy and how anyone actually governs. It's team politics, and Trump is the flashiest player on the court.

Well. If full restrictions become necessary again and Biden doesn't, or this genius just ignores them, it may very well wind up being over his lifeless body. But he will have learned nothing.
