If you think a pregnant person who wants to have an abortion wants to kill a baby, what makes you think it's a good idea to forcefully thrust onto that infanticidal person access to and control over a baby? It seems really weird to be thinking that.

Can we meet in the middle with Earth being a cylinder?

for client two, i have this large red banner on staging that says "this is staging: do not insert production data". and every time someone inserts production data, i increase it a few pixels. it's at about 20% of the screen now.

Answering your coworker's question from the bathroom is much more awkward if you don't use chat or email.

If Earth is flat can we get rid of timezones please?

Many wonder whether there’s a benefit to receiving the #HPV #vaccine past a certain age, like 45. Guidelines differ and have changed over time.

The “basic science” remains the same: vaccination will prevent new infections, no matter how old you are. But there have been reasons for an age limit that are important to understand. 1/8

Why does the #HPV #vaccine sometimes fail?

This question deserves a nuanced answer. It also requires an understanding of probabilities — that if a rare event is given enough chances to occur, it will eventually happen to someone.

Allow me to explain. 1/7

Absolutely wild how many companies are adopting AI notetaking apps for meetings.

Y'all'er just chill sending your planning, product direction and revenue details to some random third party in exchange for them doing the low value task of halfassing note taking for you?

This is a thread about photographer Shah Marai, democracy and women's rights in Afghanistan.

As the Taliban are trying to make everybody forget democracy and women's rights ever existed in Afghanistan, I will take every opportunity to remind everybody that democracy and women's rights in Afghanistan have a long history, and also share Shah Marai's photos. So it will be a long thread.

If you're short on time, after the next post you can hit the eject button before the slideshow begins, ok?

Just scoured my whole bedroom for the source of an unpleasant smell. Pulled all the drawers apart. Smelled everywhere. Turns out after some considerable time searching.... it's the hat I'm wearing. 🫠

Greedy bosses want workers to view each other as competition instead of allies because when workers realize they’re on the same side, they turn CEO bonuses into higher worker paychecks through the power of a union.

Nobody's talking about the rising price of extra-small condoms.

First rule of unit testing: not writing unit tests for a piece of code retroactively adds bugs into that code.

absolutely wild that people will rail against graffiti but are fine with advertisements being plastered all over everything. corporations have more rights than people

Any app or service that gives you a free trial and then doesn't ASK before it starts the paid subscription is effectively scamming you.

I have discovered the exact age limit for teaching counting in binary. (doing math with just 1, 0)

6th graders who are about 11 and 12 years old can do it-- 5th graders (age 10 or so) mostly can't. Math is still too new to them and though they've been adding two digit numbers for three years it's not ingrained enough for variation.

Anyway back to the drawing board.
