Well, they think the Magna Carta is relevant to a lot of things in the US in 2024, so I guess that all tracks.

I'm starting a job search today and dreading it. There are only like 5 positions open right now that fit with my skills and also pay even close to a livable amount of money, so that's not great. Deceased sounds like a great opportunity at this point - no commute and you don't need a living wage if you're not living.
The raw milk people are wild to me, because raw milk is disgusting even without the bird flu, and they're so committed to it. The more people point out that it's gross and unsafe, the more they want it. Drinking pus to own the libs, I guess?
My dog is like that. She lays in my spot in the bed until I'm ready to get in, and then I tell her "scooch" and she moves to her spot. When we cuddle in the morning, she knows that, "ok/alright," means it's time to get up and go pee.
I got my dog one because she loved being covered by blankets, and she did the same thing. And then insisted on having a blanket over her anyway. On the plus side, she loved the bed in her own way.
Oh I cry reading stuff all the time. I read a lot of historical queer fiction because I'm a masochist, and then I cry because it was so unfair.
Two weeks before the party, I say I'm totally in and excited, and then the day of, I remember I don't want to do that and say I'm pretty sure I'm getting sick. Then B.
Kind of. TSA Precheck is <$100 for 5 years, so it's significantly cheaper. That amount is a lot more accessible to average travelers than CLEAR.
No. Research tends to show that all patients have better outcomes with female doctors. It's not the knowledge of different conditions that's the issue, it's the willingness to listen to patients.
On the personal side, my mom has been a nurse for 30 years and a ton of the male doctors she's worked with are some of the most conceited, dismissive assholes she's ever met (and she was a paralegal in her previous career, so that's saying something). They've been treated like gods for so long that they can't imagine that they could ever be wrong. She had to stop one of them from giving a patient meds that they were allergic to not too long ago, and the doctor had the nerve to get shitty with her for, I guess, daring to question him.
Schitt's Creek is the same way. The first season isn't bad, it's just not great. Both shows were finding their footing, and then got super good but once they did.
American food tends to be way sweeter than anywhere else I've ever been, so yeah, probably cultural.
What exactly do you need to "be on board" with? Not being a raging douche?
