  1. "Only one epidemiologist remains in the program's team to investigate outbreaks, one official said, and was still in the early stages of their training." Investigating why a literal boatload of people have diarrhea sounds like a pretty shit gig baseline, much less when you're by yourself and don't know what the fuck you're doing.
  2. The only silver lining in all of this is that my wife and I have gotten closer with my sister and her husband as we deal with all this nonsense.
  3. The hookem2010 family feud is about to enter its next stage. After not talking for the last couple months, my parents are back in town and ready to get together to see if/how we can salvage our relationship. I can't say that I'm particularly looking forward to spending a weekend evening attempting to get them to recognize reality versus whatever world they believe they're living in, but whatever. Meanwhile, my sister, who is married to a man but considers herself LGBT+, and is a small business owner getting screwed by tariffs, also told my mother that she needed some space. This was followed by an apparently accidental audio message sent to her by my mom of her breaking down to my dad about their children not wanting to talk to them. So now my sister is going to have a big sit-down talk with them a week before me. Little Bro definitely had the right idea by peacing out to Cali almost a decade ago. Tearing your family apart to own the libs!
  4. It seems so long since Roe v Wade was overturned, but here is a reminder of how evil that shit is. Remember how the anti-abortion freaks would put up those giant billboards of aborted fetuses in front of Gregory? Well, I just saw the reverse. A baby that should have never been born, with a condition incompatible with life, due to the mother being unable to get an abortion. In addition to being financially ruined, the mother will be forced to watch her horribly disfigured, mentally non-functional child suffer until what is hopefully an early death. I can't share the inage but it's fucking nightmare fuel. Republicans just out there protecting women and babies.
  5. Speaking of poop nuggets, my 2 year-old just shit in the bathtub as I was getting ready to respond with how much I enjoyed La Brea.
  6. Barrett has obviously had a lot of really shitty rulings, but it seems like I've seen her as the only crossover with the Dem-appointed judges a handful of times recently. Not that losing our rights 5-4 instead of 6-3 is much comfort.
  7. Hooollly shit, I haven't checked this out since the first couple pages. It appears I have some reading to do.
  8. Sun Tzu sounds very DEI, as does the word 'Art'.
  9. Curing cancer is woke. https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025/04/06/nih-firings-cancer-immunotherapy-treatment/
  10. It was a paid gig, more work involved than smoking weed. Probably could have though. I really did it to fill time after the oldest started daycare and my wife was pregnant and I knew I was going to be staying home for a while again.
  11. Hey! That's my close family you're talking about! But honestly, they can get fucked. I don't give a shit.
  12. Sex Panther. I'm not an amateur.
  13. It gets you on the edge of your seat, does it not? I miss being bored.
  14. So what's the point in terrorists attacking if it doesn't garner any outrage? He Made America Safe Again!
  15. Heard talk that this would devastate children's cardiac programs, possibly causing them to shut down, as much of the very specialized equipment is produced in Germany. Killing kids to stick it to the libs!
  16. I probably shouldn't be considered for the mere fact I couldn't scroll down one more inch to find the job hunting thread.
  17. I'm a former medical professional (PA) who left the profession when my wife finished school 4 years ago. The plan was to have flexibility to travel and to stay at home for a while if we had kids. We now have 2, and the 2nd is approaching the age where we'd feel comfortable sending him to daycare. I've started to look at medically adjacent non-clinical jobs recently. During the last 4 years, I had a couple part-time stints (6-12 months) as essentially a local park ranger. My question is should I include those on the resume to fill in some of the unemployed time gap, or leave them off and just explain that I was caring for my children during that stretch, with the intent to eventually return to some medical role? Thanks!
  18. I'm at about 2 months of not speaking to my parents outside of letting them know that I did not die on I-35 when they asked. They're back in town after being in the Valley and want to meet up with my wife and me to hash things out. Should be fun. My wife dropped her best friend for being a Trumper recently, and she now holds my parents in extremely low regard. I can't blame her.
  19. I think they are very stupid. I also think that many in the administration are truly evil. No reason they can't be both.
  20. This is idiotic. You think we'd be putting tariffs on our closest allies over in Mordor?
  21. My congressman, John Carter, used to have someone at least answer the phone and take a message that was predictably never responded to. He has suddenly become more relatable in that he now does not have anyone answering the phone and his voicemail is full. What a worthless piece of shit.
  22. Can any fucking mainstream media comment on the invalidity of Trump's dumbass chart? It seems like it would be really easy to do.
  23. Is he sleeping in today, or something? I'm ready to be liberated!
  24. 8.3% with 82% reporting. 30+% victory by Waltz. Yay?
