They’re just a troll. I recommend reporting and judicious heckling.

I haven’t seen this much angsty preteen energy in a comment since being on Reddit. Do your parents know you’re on Lemmy?

They just don’t care. They know the administration is going to back them, so they say anything that isn’t totally self-incriminating. I expect they’ll eventually stop caring about that too.

But they’ve fixed the issue of discrimination by now being hostile to everyone.

They just cycled a key figure out of public view. This is PR strategy - when criticism against a particular organization or any of its key figure(s) reaches a certain point, replace some key figures.

Tr;dr: the frogs in the pot all cheer as the cook is replaced and their replacement turns down the hob a touch.

People tend to see key figures as representative of entire organizations, e.g., there are so many people who see removing Trump as being a solution despite him being a clear symptom of the problem. Letting some take a fall is a PR win grab bag: many people interpret the “punishment” of a few people as being applied to the whole organization and it suggests reform and atonement without actually changing anything substantial. Then the new figures start and optionally say they’re changing strategies for future improvement - “it’ll work but it takes time, just trust me bro.”

As long as this round of musical chairs tells a story that enough critics want to hear, enough mounting critical pressure is reduced for the cycle to continue a bit longer.

I really hope you’re high as fuck right now.

I’m certain Stephen Miller has already assumed other wifely duties for Trump, so this wouldn’t be a stretch.

You need to ponder that orb more, wizard.

The “in matters of taste” line is misinformation started in the last decade online by people who repeat things without looking up if they’re true or not.

That worm really changes the meaning of “fuck the earth”.

If you’re old as shit, then I’m older than shit, but I’m not old so you’re not old either.

More like ArseTechnica, eh?

Almost any large capitalist company, especially those that are publicly traded, will devour its own in the name of higher Q3 profits.

Any they police? Are these American children with toy guns? If yes to either, then daycare is out. Forever.

They don’t care what it means, they just use it to bludgeon people into doing what they want.

A bubble? In 2025?! Inconceivable!

You read what they wrote correctly, it’s just not true. That’s nothing to do with you.

It’s that a properly administered epidural or spinal anesthesic wouldn’t work that way.

NERDERY INCOMING

An epidural injects a numbing agent just outside of the spinal cord. The intent is to numb the nearby nerves as the anesthetic slowly diffuses into their roots and their corresponding section of spinal cord. It should not go into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

What they’re likely doing is an intrathecal injection for a spinal anesthesic, which does go into the CSF. That intensely numbs a portion of the body and is more common for surgery while conscious. The reason it’s done is it’s very effective while also using extremely small amounts of anesthetic. In other words, you barely feel it locally, much less systemically, because so little is used. That’s the point.

You might ask how I know all of this. I’ve had three. The account in the original post is full of shit.

This comment made me a hard man.

Depends. The classic dilemma of big, thin, and floppy or short, thick, and stiff.
