No no, you meant "democratic" I'm sure!

Fuck yes

Yeah, what does "tolerance" even mean if the Tolerant won't tolerate the Intolerant?? \s

I remember reading about how Cuba is leading the way with research and a modern understanding of ASD. This was about a year ago, I don't remember much specific.

What happened to Sam Bankman-Fried again?

His argument is that we need CEOs so that someone can be held responsible when a company commits crimes...

In what world do C-Suites ever face consequences??

From what I remember when this was a fresher story, Nex died shortly after being sent away from a hospital they were at after sustaining a head injury. The spontaneous death from an untreated brain bleed hours later is now being ruled a suicide?

Indeed

(In America, when we see Greek letters it's because we're looking at math)

Fight not because you hope to be victorious but because it's less effort than the self-supression you otherwise must continually employ to play along with this damned nightmare hellworld.

Fountain soda costs a few pennies per gallon, the lost earnings of which would ordinarily be counted as small beans compared to the wages saved by reducing the bodies you need to pay to run your restaurant. The pandemic taught companies though that you don't need a body for every job, you need only as many as it takes to keep the door unlocked. The single person whipped and frantic doing the jobs of eight people will just have to work harder and maybe next year they'll get a fifteen cent raise

I suffered a traumatic brain injury as a pedestrian who didn't look both ways. My answer isn't very fun but I technically qualify as I had to be resuscitated on scene.

I was in a coma for a few days and then--despite being conscious and over time regaining awareness, then vocalization, then even conversational speech--I wasn't writing any new long term memories for a couple of months. My experience of that dark period, to the extent that it isn't nothing, is pretty vague. The memories of months preceding injury are pretty blurry until the injury which I don't remember and then the next I remember is being tied to a hospital bed and chewing on the Posey mitts. I remember some hallucinating in that period, one instance is an ordinary piece of a day interacting with nurses and therapists but perceiving everything as if drawn in the Family Guy cartoon. I post-hoc interpret that memory as a vague basically dream state that got mashed in with a Family Guy memory.

So no, no afterlife experience or memories of the other side.
