  • behind the scenes of lung transplants - discussion with a ICU nurse and a neurosurgeon [Interview]

    Jump

  • What is the point of this framing?

    I didn't watch the video admittedly I read the summary, but is it really a dark secret that a major operation like a lung transplant has complications?

    Why present this as a conspiracy to prey on lung recipients?

    There certainly is something gross with the organ donor system. That people should be aware of, but its not clear if that's the concern of the video.

  • Why do you use/choose Linux?

    Jump

  • I swap PCs regularly and I hate how long it takes to install windows.

    Also windows borked a games drive once and I never forgave it.

    Then I learned all the privacy stuff.

  • My university charges $27K/year and I still had to teach myself everything from YouTube at 2 AM

  • Let me guess

    Engineering or CS?

    I know I sound like an incel, but is there any race that biracial women go with besides always being with white guys?

    Jump

  • Also, I guess that if your country is predominantly white you'll end up mostly with white people.

    Despite what the great replacers think, America is still mostly white or at least passably white.

    Poor homie is probably both lonely and horny. A terrible combination.

  • Mullvad is apparently the main financier of a Swedish far-right party

    Jump

  • So long as Daniel is paid from Mullvad, Mullvad financially supports the far right by proxy.

  • Where to start researching topics online

    Jump

  • I'm a fan of academic and Pop-academic sources.

    Pop Academic is usually the much easier to read version of a proper academic quality book. I'm a fan of Bart D. Erhman and a lot of his books are pop academia, but they reference his academic works.

    The process I was taught for this kind of source finding is 1) Search for a broader topic 2) Find a well referenced book on the broader topic 3) Read book reviews of the book to determine if it has the content you want 4) Read the book or skim the book looking for mention of the idea you want to know more about 5) Check the relevant sources of that section.

    If there are no sources listed (or they don't exist because they're hallucinations), its probably not a good book for information.

  • it's all about the insulin - hypertension edition

    Jump

  • Alright you got me here. 3 redbulls today, even sugar free, kinda fucked me up.

    But importantly I met my arbitrary corporate deadlines! No I won't be recognized for my sacrifice! Why did I do this to myself?

  • Carnivore is the fastest, easiest, laziest way to eat

    Jump

  • I'm not living to eat.

    I guess that's fair. That's probably our biggest difference since I enjoy the whole cooking process. Tweaking seasonings as the process continues to make something complex and delicious.

    But if that was never interesting then I guess it wasn't a big loss.

  • Do you enjoy eating?

  • I know this is more Historiography than history, but roll with it

  • A Plato ass move

    Context: Plato's conception of gods was that they couldn't lie because they were actually necessarily good.and things that were wholly good have no reason to decieve. They don't even shape shift!

    In the Republic, Plato says we should rewrite myths so that this truth was pushed and not the slander of poets. Further we should restrict what poets can write in his ideal republic (though this is more of a metaphor for how to live a good life than a literal outline of his ideal republic, its still kinda shitty of him and I'm not really sure if there's a better interpenetration).

  • Damn I wish

  • Anon on looks

    Jump

  • I once knew a guy who was overweight and had his face fucked up in an ATV accident who was constantly cheating on his various girlfriends.

    Looks really don't matter.

  • Reading how he came up is like watching Johnny Rotten advertise butter, if advertising butter was as bad as debasing currency

    Jump

  • To consider debasement of currency as bad I must first respect the concept of cash capital.

    Therefore, Diogenes is based.

  • Cats are the best

  • I love my cats, but I'd rather my neighborhood have birds.

  • IF you got wide feet, Lems and Zero do pretty good. Lems I know goes to 15, but I'm just a 12

  • I could have told people "I know that I know nothing" too

    Jump

  • That was Plato and Socrates's secret

  • I could have told people "I know that I know nothing" too

    Jump

  • If Plato is accurate then I don't know if he didn't talk out of his ass.
