Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Fucking Chemtrails. I have MS and one of the times I was in a physical rehabilitation clinic, relearning how to walk, I had a nurse who believed in chemtrails. She asked if I realized that my MS was caused by chemtrails. I was taken aback. I was actively playing civ with a friend who heard my side of the conversation. After she said that, I had a short conversation with her about how chemtrails aren't real. She said "Well I guess all those congressional hearings I watched were fake." To which I said that we are never going to agree on this and it's better to just stop talking so we don't have an argument. She basically agreed and thankfully she was gone by the time I needed my MS meds that evening. Chemtrails are BS and yet so many people believe they're real, even in professions that should understand they're not real, that it is genuinely depressing.
A lot of nurses are dumb as shit. I've also met M.D.s who were seriously fucking stupid people.
M.D. here and I feel like I should defend myself but all I can think of was this highly trained doc who fought the hospital administration about having to wear masks, in the hospital, during peak Covid. I mean he was actually one of many but what made him stand out was that his wife was in our ICU. With Covid. Yes he continued to fight masking even as his own wife was near death in the ICU.
So, yeah.
Well he can just fuck right off
…like, out of the hospital
…preferably out of his profession entirely, if possible
I say it all the time, you can go to school for a long time and learn nothing about empathy or compassion.

I hear stories like this and it's hard for me to accept the fact that they're stupid and not just truly evil
honestly dude the older I get the more I learn a lot of behavior that seems hurtful is just coming from someone who DOES NOT pause to consider what its doing to someone else. its not that they dont care, its just it never dawns on them that its hurting others
its just there are over 20 currently agreed upon "types" of intelligence, so people can be very sharp in some ways and utterly hopeless in others.
Most doctors are put together pretty well in my experience though
You are so absolutely correct about this. This gentleman I refer to is actually a very smart guy in many ways. But say it with me folks: You are not immune to propaganda.
This gentleman was drinking the Fox News tea big time and that’s where the anti-mask, anti-vaccine stuff was coming from. His training and years of knowledge just eventually got short circuited from the constant propaganda.
Weird having worked with them closely for almost twenty years in a hospital setting.
I can say for many I met. They're absolutely no better than the average person is "put together". The only thing they tend to be superior at is memorization and recall.
I had two CS professors who should NOT be asked about anything other than programing or math
If it was something other than those two topics then you will almost certainly be given a confident, yet incorrect, answer
Sys admin here for quite some time.
This is pretty typical in our field I've found, because that's what it takes to move up in this field.
Non-CS just believe the "oh you work with computers? So you must know how to hack Facebook" logic, so they have to either say they don't know how and look stupid, or just rattle off some absolute bonkers shit that uses acronyms and such above the non-CSs head.
This eventually bleeds into their reality and becomes a character trait.
It's more a human/culture problem than a CS problem but I get what you mean :)
Covid taught us that a lot of nurses are straight up batshit. It was sad.
