Lexapro, noted in the article, was literally life changing for me. I felt better within 3d and I notice severe issues if I miss ~3d of doses in a row, even though the half-life should support ~7d without according to my physician. That said

You have a worldview that’s incompatible with the reality of the current US legal system where things work the way you believe they should, rather than the way they actually do. Morality and direct commonsense interpretations of law do not

It’s $1800; they are applying trade-in and some sort of GoogleFi discount to get it down to $1100. Nearly $2000 after tax for a phone is fucking absurd.

Literally heard that someone wasn’t promoted to a VP role because they were too good at their job as a Director and promoting them would lose their competency. So; instead of having a competent VP leading a team of absolute incompetents and

Yeah; /this/ is the worst time to be a human. Right. We have the ability not to die of previously common disease. We are the most educated and wealthy population ever. We have arguably one of the longest collective lifespans. We d

Just like a mass wedding is fucking stupid, so is a mass layoff. You can have the fucking common decency to do a 1:1 Zoom call with each person. Or at least each fucking team. Firing 900 people simultaneously is not only stupid and callous,

Yeah we use it for auto-triage of incidents, attempts to auto-remediate, and escalation to human. But for actual development, it’s not a viable option for us.
