PST is a big place with a lot of variation. I have lived in CA & WA and found that in both things are way more chill than out east. However the biggest disadvantage of this is when you try to hire tradespeople to fix things at your home. Both states I’ve had lots of bad experiences with people who couldn’t give a shit. I know this can happen anywhere but I’m talking about a larger tend I’ve observed after living both places. Out west I’ve really struggled with finding someone to do a good job fixing anything at my home so I ended up learning to do a lot more stuff than I wanted just to get it done halfway decently.

I really want this story to be true.
Strongly disagree. The patient remains anonymous so not a breach of confidentiality. Beyond that, there is value to society in everyone seeing and contemplating the ethics of a situation like this. Because it is an extreme, unusual circumstance it forces you to examine your moral and belief systems to try and determine what you would have done and what you believe is “right.” Such introspection is critical for all of us to grow and hopefully do the best thing when we are thrust into an unusual moral dilemma.
The unexamined life is not worth living.
Ehh I see the url and it’s going to stay unclicked.
I’ve seen commercials like this before and this is always the thought in my head to the writers.
Not sure why you got downvoted because I had the same reaction when I read it. This is your spouse and treating her request for divorce and obvious associated emotional distress as something related to her gender rather than the specifics of your relationship seems incredibly dismissive and misogynistic.
It’s always worth the budget for this shot.

Whatever you do, don’t look up silicosis. Not a problem at all. Not relevant.
I was raised conservatively in a very Republican part of the country with Fox News and Rush Limbaugh everywhere I went. I totally understand what you mean. Propaganda works.
As I grew older and became more educated (in the university sense) I really began to question how I had been raised but still was unsure of everything. Would you believe that it was Elon Musk - of all people - who convinced me climate change was real?
This was 20ish years ago now when he wasn’t publicly fascist, transphobic, etc. I found an interview with him on the topic and the interviewer asked something like “What would you say to all of those who are skeptical of climate change?”
He replied along the lines of “Climate change is a scientific idea proposed from the analysis of scientific data. If you want to properly analyze and critique a scientific idea it should be using the language of science, which is statistical probability. In science few things are 100% fact but rather are analyzed in terms of the probability of something being true. So we should ask ourselves what is the probability that climate change is really happening as the scientists say. Even if that number is low - say it’s only 1% - that it a 1% risk of catastrophe to our planet and lives. Isn’t that enough of a risk for us to do something about it?”
I started looking at things very differently after hearing that perspective and was more open to looking at information with less of my previous bias and then suddenly I realized it was much much larger than 1% even.
