yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no
  • Fine. It’s not even a concession to say that people are a mix of nature and nurture. But people assume that saying there exists such bell curve for intelligence is the same thing as saying that people’s worth is on a bell curve, and no one is suggesting that (or at least I’m not).

    It’s ok to say that there exists natural differences between people.

  • Trans youth will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers, NHS England says
  • You can feel about it however you’d like, but the term provider was purposely used to justify different care without patients being aware.

    It’s not a matter of a 30 year PA vs a resident, experience certainly matters. But I take issue when you claim medical knowledge because you’re a “provider”, and especially because you work in a pediatric hospital. The role of a pediatric endocrinologist and an ortho PA almost don’t overlap, and the background schooling almost don’t either.

    That’s not to say I’m particularly qualified either (it’s outside my specialty) but you infer that you’re qualified to comment when you and I both know, frankly, you’re not.

  • Arterial, tiny bubbles cause strokes. Venous, giant bubbles cause air emboli.

    Sometimes there’s connections that shouldn’t be there that can cause venous bubbles to cross over and be a problem.

  • Emotional outburst on live TV from Gaza over death of reporter encapsulates collective grief
  • It’s an interesting article, but it’s not an exhaustive look at the situation. Look buddy- the article is from the point of an American, and proscribes American actions that should be taken. While that is interesting, it doesn’t touch nearly at all on what the current parties should do (vis a vis Hamas and Israel) and it doesn’t apply ANY scrutiny to Hamas or suggest any actions they should take.

    It’s not that it’s not an insightful piece, but it’s POV is limited, and can’t be applied generally.

  • Emotional outburst on live TV from Gaza over death of reporter encapsulates collective grief
  • Fundamentally it comes down to who is more at fault for the death of a human shield, the one who is using the human shield or the one who is attacking.

    Clearly Hamas is more at fault. If you want peace tell Hamas to surrender and return the hostages.

  • Emotional outburst on live TV from Gaza over death of reporter encapsulates collective grief
  • It’s naive to say that kindness is going to stop violence from a group who in their founding charter call for the death of the opposing group. Hanas isn’t a good faith group and no amount of kindness will change that.

    Any solution that will be durable requires that Hanna’s is not a part of it.

  • Gaza says Israel's strikes on refugee camp kill more than 195 people
  • A loss for words is still a loss.

    It’s a shame, really. Not that the herd here will care- but I have always been a liberal. For 20 years I’ve voted democratic and pushed for understanding. But things are changing- have changed. We’ve polarized to the point of absurdism, arguing that one atrocity is ok and the other is not solely on the parties involved. We’ve bathed so much in the incestuous pond of cable media and internet misinformation that anything that isn’t exactly “party line” is dismissed and derided.

    Currently, the line is perceived power is ultimate evil- that everyone with it is by definition a victimizer everyone without is by definition a victim. In this paradigm, the Jews, ironically, are the colonialists and can do no good, while Hamas can do no wrong. Reality is rarely so black and white.

    This is no justification of Netanyahu administration. But equivocating here is wrong. Hamas started the war with capturing, raping, and murdering innocents, and wants to avoid repercussions by hiding behind their own civilians. We should be able to denounce evil where it lies- with those who caused the war. Want to end the war? Call for Hamas to surrender.

  • Gaza says Israel's strikes on refugee camp kill more than 195 people
  • Don’t be an ass. Your claim was I was spreading misinformation because hamas never said that 500 people died, and was a product of western media. This isn’t what your article argues, rather that dead might have been mistranslated from injured. The core thrust of my argument remains the same- data supplied by Hamas is suspect, at best.

    Again, if you’re able, explain your argument.

  • Gaza says Israel's strikes on refugee camp kill more than 195 people
  • Your response is nothing but theatrics and exaggeration. The US worse than North Korea, where no free will or choice exists? Or how about china, with ongoing Uyghur concentration camps? Or nazi Germany and the holocaust?

    This is not to say the US is blameless- it’s to say that there are degrees of evil- and founding your organization on the death of someone else puts you at bottom of the barrel, by default.

  • This is not a one sided situation. Hamas is diverting fuel from hospitals to store for their war needs. If Hamas didn’t take civilian fuel the hospitals wouldn’t be out of it. This makes them at least partially responsible, no?
