Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

Thiiiiissss. When the medical establishment gaslights people about real problems, people will seek out other solutions and degrades trust (with an addition of telling people with medical problems to “just lose weight” and it will fix the problem)
Absolutely this. I'd add that many conspiracy movements focused on women's health exist because the medical establishment has completely failed women. I know so many people whose doctors drove them to strange behavior in desperation.
Please hear me when I say that
1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements
2) they pre-date the age of social media
3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

The extent to which I was completely abandoned with pcos/endo is hard to quantify, and plenty of people tried to sell me WooWoo solutions for pain.
Doctors completely failed me on every front for most of my life, I am sympathetic to not trusting them. It is a hard convo.

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

I had deactivated my account because of all the nonsense going around on social post the Kirk stuff. I might still deactivate it again or change my username still. But I realized it did miss some of the local stuff I was hearing about here. Though my general wellbeing has been better.

Meta is building a data center in Wyoming that will use more electricity than all the homes in the state COMBINED.
This will cause electric bills to skyrocket.
Oh, and destroy the planet at the same time.

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Hinkley shot Reagan to impress Jodi Foster. Oswald was such a complete mess people just assume the CIA did it. Guiteau killed Garfield because no one would make him an ambassador.
