Every time I see a post like "Workdays should be 4 hours" and someone else responds, "But that won't work for childcare/hospitals/retail/grocery stores!" I have to wonder if that person legitimately thinks that 24-hour fast food places actually have employees who work there for 24 hours.

and, look, I’m not complaining, not at all, but this is why it’s very important to be abundantly clear and specific with your Etsy witch.

Gen AI is nothing special I can also draw / write badly, help you with math inconsistently, answer you dubiously, and consume amounts of water you would think are physically impossible

it’s insane to me that some women think taking their husbands surname is romantic like i’m not changing my name that’s my name it’s literally a crazy concept to me to legally change a name for a man like girl that’s witness protection stuff wdym you’re just changing your name???? one day just like that? all the paperwork and for what?? it’s sooooo stupid as well as regressive. sorry

If you think this article was interesting and you want to know more, check out Chasing Aphrodite: the Hunt for Looted Antiquities at the World’s Richest Museum, which is all about the Getty and the Met and how very many looted artifacts they have purchased. It’s quite gripping, and enraging.

I think at bare minimum all medical professionals need to make sure they are treating patients with more kindness and respect than grifters. if you go to a doctor and they treat you like shit, humiliate you, and send you home without any information on your body or access to treatment, then health-grifters' offers will start to feel more tempting by simply giving the most basic performance of taking you seriously and caring about your well-being. grifters should be condemned for manipulating and exploiting sick people, and doctors also play a role in whether grifts thrive or are successfully identified and rejected. genuine baseline human respect, and beginning a relationship with a patient by earning (rather than demanding) trust, goes a long way.
