Dealing with insurance with a nonfatal chronic illness can also be infuriating. You have to keep fighting the same battle over and over and over again.

Hey, don’t bring chowder into this. Chowder is delicious.
Are they, though? That number seems awfully low to me.
It was Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon. Heavily blue areas closely surrounded by heavily right areas.
It was a lot less rapey in the show than in the book. Still rapey, though, yes
I really think a gun safety class should be required to own a firearm. However, I also see how that would violate the second amendment (by making it harder for those of lesser means to exercise their right to own a weapon because they do not have the same resources available to take a class).
I think that as long as we have the second amendment, we should be offering taxpayer-funded firearm safety courses in all states. And requiring them.
Gun storage requirements vary dramatically from one state to the next.
As an American gun owner, I would not give them the benefit of the doubt. There’s no reason they couldn’t have secured their weapon or–even better–not had one in the house where their mentally troubled son lived. There’s absolutely no excuse for him having had access to that firearm.
I agree that the company shares some blame, but ultimately it comes down to the fact that they gave this kid access to a gun, knowing full well that he had mental health issues.
This is a really sad story, but it’s also a story of parental neglect. Why did this kid with mental health issues have unrestricted internet access? Why did he have access to his stepfather’s gun?
Those aren’t the fault of some chatbot.
Something is really wrong if you need to lock up your kitchen knives.
Also, in the books, her first night with Khal Drogo is him raping her.
That person was reporting their experience. It’s not false that they have not seen it. I haven’t, either.
I’m not willing to have to reduce my power usage so someone else can live in a desert. If it’s uninhabitable, people shouldn’t live there.
Shortly after I returned to the States from Fukushima (a little bit after the disaster), I was taking an emergency response course on radioactivity. Everybody there got to use a Geiger counter on themselves and their belongings and various things in the room. The only thing that set it off was the purse I had brought back with me.
Anecdotal, obviously, and it wasn’t highly radioactive, but I did get rid of the purse.
I taught a bunch of Gen Zers back when they were in high school. None of them knew how to type well, and it was a rarity that any of them knew how to type at all. I was supposed to teach them things like Microsoft Office, but we had to start with typing and basic PC usage before we could move on to something as complicated as MS Word.
This is what happens when people don’t use computers and instead just use cell phones.
Can someone explain like I’m five how Waymo has robitaxis without drivers behind the wheel and automated driving such as that offered by Tesla is not yet able to do the same?
Is it just that Waymo has mapped a small area really, really well? What’s the difference? Why is Tesla so bad at it but Waymo is able to do it?
You said you’re “not about to click on it”, which is implying that you think it is not a good news source.
Asahi is perfectly legitimate and one of Japan’s largest news organizations.
Just because you haven’t heard of something doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with it.
TIL Microsoft has a handheld gaming platform.
They’re already teenagers. The damage has been done, but hopefully this act will help them decide not to follow in their father’s footsteps.
