re: USPol: Cops & 2A
I do find it somewhat ironic that some of the values and experiences growing up in rural Georgia and definitely partly instilled from my definitely racist poor, redneck side of the family helped me recognize why things like gun control laws are tools of the oppressor.
But also somewhat sad that they (rural, poor white) can't make the leap of understanding that the people they direct their hatred and racism toward are trapped in similar circumstances and the same forces are working against them and culturally they have far more in common than apart.
I kinda strayed from the topic but only marginally tangentially so.

@mawr Definitely looks worth a read!

@mawr Those first two paragraphs describe the root of so many problems in the US today.

re: USPol: Cops & 2A
@wobblewuffess Marin Luther King Jr. was so right about this. (You've read excerpts from his Letter from Birmingham Jail, right? http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/45a/060.html)
I wish his later years of activism in which he (previously an integrationist, which is now seen as a racist concept) and Malcom X (previously a segregationist, which is def racist), both working together essentially realized what has now become the more modern anti-racist movement, and the US Gov assassinated them for it.

Scary non-white people with scary looking evil black bang-sticks! Can't have that.
They will pass it and then pat themselves on the back about how they made everyone safer.
Hell, the CA legislature couldn't stop itself from passing another assault weapons ban that was written by a State Legislator who went to fucking prison for GUN RUNNING! Fucking SB 880 was literally word for word copy of the bill written by Leland Yee in 2013.
FBI nabbed him on gun trafficking among other things and he ended doing 5 years after pleading down to racketeering and flipped on some local major Triads members.

re: USPol- Cops & 2A
@nowak I've been saying it for a while now: This is one of the biggest reality-disconnects on the US left. They claim to stand on the platform of scientific fact and protecting minorities, and yet their gun legislation often demonstrates precisely the opposite (eg: cops enforce these laws exclusively against minorities, high cap mag bans will _never_ keep high cap mags out of the hands of mass shooters, or banning only "scary looking" guns to win political favor)
re: US Politics: Police and the 2nd Amendment
@mawr Yup, it is intensely frustrating that a majority of mainline progressives don't seem to grok this but doing so would require them take off their privilege blinders and see a world were involving the police gets people killed and the justice system is little more than a replacement for chattel slavery and a system for grinding down the poor and keeping them little more than meat for the corporate machine.
Of course, that brings comparisons to other countries which have much more intact social safety nets, access to mental and physical healthcare decoupled from wealth on the whole and with smaller, less impoverished populations.
I guess I hate mid-upper class white Liberals in the US.

US Politics: Police and the 2nd Amendment
The 2nd Amendment seems superfluous to those with the privilege to feel safe within their environment.
In reality, the 2nd Amendment is the last remaining line of defense against the US becoming a total police state. Those who can't trust the police rely on the 2nd Amendment to keep them safe from the police.
Gun laws only serve to give the police more power to do what they already do best: Oppress and kill Black, Indigenous, Trans and other Minorities.

meds griping
One problem with having separate specialists for separate conditions is that each one of them is adamant that the most important thing in the world is to take their medication exactly as directed, regardless of everything else in your life.
This is deeply annoying when I am basically nonfunctional until the caffeine or Adderall kicks in but my general physician is very adamant that I should take levathyroxine separately and before everything else - ideally an hour before everything else, but half an hour will do - including breakfast and especially caffeine.
My psychiatrist thinks it’s fine to take Adderall XR at the same time as levathyroxine. My GP doesn’t. I’ve spent the morning trying to figure this out myself. I am pretty sure my psychiatrist is right. I also can’t find *any* citation on the caffeine thing - it keeps coming up in instructions to patients, but I can’t find any studies or documentation or known food interactions explaining it. I’ll follow that anyway because the caffeine is less important than the Adderall.
Makes me appreciate the push for “evidence-based medicine”. Rumor and tradition account for more professional medical advice than I’d like.

She laughed out loud at the joke, and all saw her fangs.
"Are you some kind of monster?" another pupil said, smiling widely. "I thought I was the only one!"
One by one, the kids revealed hidden horns, tails, claws, and fangs. All but one.
"Are you normal?"
"No, I think you are."

When you look and sound so bad in a zoom call your boss and team members are like "Fuck, go back to bed and get some rest." Day 2 of Covid Vaccine. D:
Stage 1 of Covid Vaccine completed (Pzifer).
It has been an hour and some change.. and my body is already getting unhappy. All my usual unhappy joint and tendon spots are already getting achy and fucking hell fatigue D:
Exhausted after 4 hours of back to back meetings because I don't know... people are assholes...
Then every single thing I needed to do today requires logging into Azure.. Azure Auth Services have been down for 2 hours....
Maybe I'll just take a fucking nap.
