I wouldn’t have high hopes of that. Had relatives that “disowned” Trump after J6 and talked shit about him for quite some time. I don’t think they thought he’d be running again, so there was no harm in their talk. That lasted right up until it became clear he was going to be the R nominee. Then they were right back on the Trump train.

 

 

Well, yeah, the dems forced him to. It's all the dems fault.

I’d suspect there are a lot of folks doing the same right now, on the assumption that he won’t try to run again and they won’t be in the position to flip back (because reasons).

 

That is exactly what my dad did.  Absolutely hated him after J6 and now thinks he's a good man that we should support.

I had a neighbor that talked so much shit everytime I saw him about drump before he was the nominee the first time. He was insane about it and telling me all sorts of tinfoil level shit about him. Then he drank the fox news coolaid and went from hard anti drump to a flag waiving, yard full of flair, red hat. We have to understand we are surrounded by complete idiots that actively vote against their wants and needs over the currently promoted boogeyman. They are scared children. I am sorry if your kin are doing it, I hate to hear that this shit is tearing apart families. So avoidable.

This is exactly my current mindset on the "rise", which is almost certainly the case. I am just endeavoring not to be completely dismissive. Trust me, I am extremely skeptical of our current national mindset of pseudoscience and lack of critical thinking. 

There is also a challenge with the identification of ASD by gender.  Girls for example tend to be identified several years later on average than boys, in part due to masking, but also due to how it manifests differently.

Does doctoring not involve reading, understanding, and interpreting medical opinions and studies, and being able to discern a good study from a poor one from propaganda?

It should.  But we have a whole generation of boomer docs trained by the pharma industry.  The younger generations seem a little better at least.

I’ve worked with physicians for my entire career. I’ve been privileged to work with a lot brilliant minds who work to advance the field of medicine and achieve miraculous outcomes on a regular basis. I’ve also had the extreme frustration of working with and having to fire some of the absolute dumbest and most gullible human beings that think they’re geniuses that you can imagine. Your dad may fall into the latter and not the former group.

I only did it for a dozen years, and I still do, but not nearly as much.  I was responsible (and successful) for getting financing for our centers...construction, operating loans, equipment leases, etc. 

One of the members of our flagship surgery center asked me for help getting her financing for an in-office MRI machine.  Sure doc, no problem.  I can come to your office next Wednesday.  Please have your bank statements and other financials ready for me. 

She literally bounced dozens of checks every month.  I don't want to dox her, but, for a certain specialty of women's health, she's the premiere surgeon in Orange County, and arguably in all of So Cal. 

Just a total dumbshit anywhere outside of the O.R.

Why you think I have 1500ish doctors?  That’s my target audience.  Work for a doc over a giant corporation that will fuck you over.  Independent contractor and help you set up your practice etc.  But fuck, it can be really frustrating.  Insane how clueless many/most docs are at anything outside their specialty.

Apparently it is in Florida.  Insurance rates are skyrocketing and the flood plains are being expanded because of the continued effects of global warming.  Older houses are uninsurable and whole neighborhoods are in new floodplain zones.  If you pull a permit or rebuild you have to raise the foundation several feet to get insurance and even then it's through the roof.

90% of insurance lawsuits are filed in Florida and insurance companies are going bankrupt.  Add on top of that people not making premium payments.

https://www.newsweek.com/florida-home-insurers-worst-claim-payment-rates-2057407

Combine that with rising property taxes and people are literally and figuratively underwater in their homes.

Albert Harris | Who wore those iconic white boots better? Governor Ron  Desantis or Representative Anna Eskamani? That is the question of the  day... | Instagram

 

I assumed the plan was for Florida to become primarily corporate owned. 

Without insurance or insurability, the single family process will plummet. Businesses will buy those properties, redevelop them (because exclusions) and insure them at a corporate level while generating profits from the properties.

It'll be super rich only.

I often wonder is the hard swing to emphasis on STEM helped create all these stupid smart people. 

Not all STEM is the same.  Some of it, including medicine, includes massive amounts of memorization, in addition to analytical application of that information.  Most engineering, on the other hand, doesn't ask you to memorize shit, it's all analytical application.

One thing in common, though, most STEM reading is dense, hyper-factual stuff, nothing that asks you to accept or reject or criticize it.  It's pretty much 100% "this is it."  You rarely if ever compare and contrast histories, authors, philosophies, politics or policy.  Except in your 12 hours of electives, which most STEM people do well on.

So, you're still thinking, and actually in a way that's quite analogous to critical thinking.  But you aren't "practicing" it, so to speak, on subjective subject matter.

And, I think whoever posted about taking mental shortcuts on non-essential (ie non-work-related) information, e.g. news, is spot on. Probably a habit that develops during school.

From my experience, doctors really know how to doctor and not much else. 
 

This is why my first question every time there’s a small private plane crash is, “was the pilot a doctor?”

And there's the crux of it. Even the ones that can be convinced that Trump is a clown surrounded by incompetent buffoons who don't give a shit about you or this country...all of them, at absolute best, believe that Democrats want to steal all of their money and give it to lazy, poor people. Then take all of their guns. At BEST. That's as sane as it ever gets. The ingraining only gets much worse and crazier from there.

This is on point.

In the pursuit of my education, one of the required courses was a 3 credit hour semester long course wherein the curriculum was devoted to reading research papers across different fields (but mostly in the field of study) and assessing them in different ways (from very basic like origins of citations, i.e. was this a bad study based on a bad origin all the way to methodology, the math, and so on). It helped to form at the very least, a basic rubric for the upperclassperson on ways to overcome bias and mental laziness when faced with a tranche of information that might be misleading or even a massive info dump that makes the eyes swim.

One thing I picked up during my education was that while obtaining an undergraduate degree, memorization was an important component to build the foundation upon, so one could get caught up with the generally accepted knowledge at the time.  However, there were tidbits of information spread in there that helped a person see the limitations.  As one progresses in graduate school, some of those foundational facts lose what was previously considered ironclad status and are replaced by "this is the best information we currently have" and this goes for a lot of things.   For example, if you looked at a diamond under cathode ray lumination, you would see amorphous zones indicating this crystal developed in a plasma like environment and many of those zones were truncated picking up inclusions of other materials (e.g. garnet) before it solidified and was brought to the surface.   Yet, if you read the literature, there are some who base the dating of rocks/diamonds on the radiometric decay of the garnet inclusions.   When it is often observed that the dating of the inclusions will be wildly different amongst and individual diamond discovered (with multiple inclusions).   But both are correct in their assessment.  This is a weak form of evidence but sometimes is all that is available.  Critics may argues, just shitcan it, because it is so wholly unreliable it shouldn't be included at all.   Other's not aware of diamond dating issues, may defer to the data without fully appreciating the challenge and debate amongst the mineralogists, because their background expertise is in a different speciality (structural geology).   

Outside of STEM, this stuff is present as well.  When calculating the value of an organization, there is a formula for where the weighted average cost of capital (percentage) is then subtracted by the growth rate of the firm.  The problem is that this is in the denominator.  But this equation is not provided with a boundary condition beyond WACC cannot equal growth rate.   However, if you play with the math a little it is easy to see how this become silly as it can exponentially increase the value of the firm as WACC approaches growth rate.

The hard sciences and especially engineering (which treats the hard sciences as axiomatic) are objective. There is always a right answer. This can foster a bias for among engineers for black and white thinking.

Legal education emphasizes litigation. Students are trained to argue both sides of an issue. The goal is to identify the best points in favor of your (arbitrarily chosen) side, and to marshal them as persuasively as possible. This can foster cynicism among lawyers. Truth doesn’t exist as an objective reality so there is no point seeking the truth. Any one of many answers may be true, depending on how well you craft the argument for it. This is why I describe people like Ted Cruz as “lawyer smart.” He’s wicked smart and can advocate for any proposition, no matter how ludicrous or false. But if your goal is to understand the nature of reality, he’s a worthless resource despite his raw intelligence. 

 

I kind of recoil at the terminology of both sides, as it sometimes feeds into giving unequal legitimacy to bad actors.   The other part worth mentioning is that some poor communicators can be correct but unwilling or unable to express it or the audience may lack the fundamental background knowledge to understand the nuanced position.  In those forums, then the argument, and jury of peers may not be the best at discerning the most supported evidence, especially when the charm/charisma/beauty or other non-evidence based factors are influencing the outcome.   Heck, even here or in real life discussions with others, it can be challenging.  But the root issue may be that unlike the pawn stars who have a buddy who is an expert, the host or politician are playing that role.

At least she was a type of farmer who benefited from our international farm markets being destroyed. So she wasn't a total idiot like the soybeans guy.

But man...she was relying on a Democratic law to harvest her cherries and she thought Trump was going to enforce it? After he just reneged on everything Obama did in his first term?

If I read that correctly, during his first term he limited her competition. So with the same costs, she just raised her prices because she could?  Just pure profit taking? I can’t tell if her immigrant picker financial aid began in 2021 or just became funded a certain way at that time, so I can’t be sure if she was on the gvt tit as she gouged customers. 
 

or maybe she sells to a market at market price and didn’t raise shit and I’m overthinking it.

It looks like Ms. Carlson had a thing going on with that old man they called “Flounder” from back east. 

It seems to me that given they are so very concerned about the physical advantages of trans women in sports, that Carlson should be actively recruiting trans women to help bring in the crop.

Hard to say because it’s unsourced and only qualifies as “something I saw on the internet.” It’s not credible. It sounds true but it could just as easily be bullshit so it’s just noise.
