These two women would have been able to access abortion services much earlier in the pregnancy, if they were in Europe instead of Oklahoma. This case is the kind of thing that restricting access to legal abortion early in pregnancies causes. This is the fault of the Oklahoma abortion bans

Oh fuck you, stop lying. The vast majority of Americans agree on reasonable abortion restrictions.

“When asked about the legality of abortion at different stages of pregnancy, about two-thirds of Americans say it should be legal in the first trimester (69%), while support drops to 37% for the second trimester and 22% for the third. Majorities oppose abortion being legal in the second (55%) and third (70%) trimesters.”

Lmfao

Herd animals gonna herd animal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They’re game devs, not an acquisition and mergers team. “We signed contract to do business with xyz terms” should be plenty reliable enough for conducting business. Not “Lol, whut? You didn’t read the fine print? Psyche! We’re changing everything.”

Unity deserve to get sued into oblivion for this

Does this person think working shifts are just magic? You show up at 4am on a Saturday unscheduled and they just pay you with no complaint? People just get as much unauthorized overtime as they want?

I understand that’s not the kind of work he’s suggesting, but it is the kind of work that the vast majority of us do. Stop trying to normalize the hustle. We need to go back to RESPECT for the 9-5 working person and pay them enough to have comfortable lives

Oh no, phenylephrine definitely has effects. It’s just that decongestion isn’t one of them. Intravenous phenylephrine is sometimes used in critical care hospital settings to deliberately raise a person’s blood pressure:

The irony that phenylephrine intravenous is actually effective at maintaining blood pressure in people who are trying real hard to die on ya. (Our ICU uses it sometimes.)

Preach. I hate the shit, it makes me feel shaky, but god damn does it work.

Oh man, let me introduce you to my absolute favorite used book seller:

Also, construction leftovers on eBay are a great way to get sink faucets, light fixtures, etc. for a house.

No this is different, actually. The other event is the hypothesized genetic bottleneck triggered by the Toba supervolcano eruption only 74,000 years ago as opposed to 900,000 years ago for this newly proposed event.

Oh that’s wild. I recognized your username, and never realized it was suddenly coming from a different instance

Oh, almost nothing gets pulverized when galaxies collide! Our Milky Way galaxy is currently colliding with a couple of small satellite galaxies. There’s so much empty space between stars that almost none of the stars themselves impact.

It’s more a matter of the gravitational orbits of the stars inside the galaxies changing dramatically. But those changes caused by a galaxy merger take millions of years. Plenty of time for life to adapt.

The biggest danger to life would be the possibility of getting blasted by radiation, if you ended up too close to a supernova or something like that.

For me, it’s the wholesome bro moments in Lock, Stock like Fat Tom constantly, sincerely falling for his nickname. I also think at least once a day at work, “Can we lock up and get drunk now?”

So the official GOP position is that parents should be notified if a 14 year old expresses any kind of gender non-conformity, if the 14 year old seeks medical care for birth control, but not if a small business owner or large corporation wants to exploit that child’s labor for profit.

Completely logically consistent.

I’m really surprised no one has mentioned Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels because I think it’s actually the better of the Guy Ritchie movies in this style. It’s stylish, perfectly-paced, and has the perfect “I think we…won?” type resolution at the end.

Lock Stock is one of my favorite movies

This is my comfort movie series. When I’m tired of dealing with the real world for a while, I’ll watch it in 40 minute stretches for a couple weeks like a TV series

Without this feature, I wouldn’t have known that Yeah Yeah Yeahs and PJ Harvey released new albums. So I’m torn. On the one hand, I’m happy artists I already love can still reach me; on the other hand, I hate that smaller artists I don’t know about yet still have to pay to play

Understaffing, penny-pinching, forcing medical professionals to take on more and more work with no help, to say nothing of increased pay. These working conditions hurt patients chronically.

That’s why doctors and nurses strike. Especially THESE doctors - the new ones who just graduated from medical school. They’re the single most exploited group of people working in healthcare when you account for how little they are paid in comparison to how much they’re expected to work and how much revenue they generate.

In the US we call them resident doctors. In the UK junior doctors. I absolutely support their strike

Literally my life for six hours yesterday. Finally got the guy through the generic scripted responses so he could escalate to someone who could actually fix the problem…
