Here’s an idea. Before the doctor proceeds with whatever procedure they ask is there any chance you might be pregnant. Instead of the first words out of their mouth upon seeing the patient is a woman being “what is your time of the month?”

That’s the thing they are not asking about pregnancy status. They are asking when their last period was. These are two very different questions, one treats the woman as a person and the other treats her as a walking incubator that you have to check the dials on.

Ok, so. Fuck Steven Tyler, he’s a POS and should be in jail. But she was 16, not 13. That situation is still amazingly fucked up though.

I also could not find anything on the fire other than reddit speculation.

They are clearly in the pockets of Microsoft.

What you are describing is what i like about it. And it introduced new songs often enough for me to not get bored with it.

There’s plenty of documented cases of women giving birth unknown in a toilet.

Name one. This doesn’t fucking happen.

I think the point there is that you knew that there was a possibility and so asked for the test when presented with the option. For a lot of women the test isn’t an option even if they say “no, there’s no chance I’m pregnant.” the doctor will often persist in suggesting one or asking about their last period like they are fucking Sherlock Holmes tracking down the case of the missing fetus.

Here’s an idea, instead of asking the very clearly annoying to women question of “And when was your last period?” Maybe ask “Ok, before we start the examination, is there any possibility that you are pregnant?” And, ya know, treat women as human beings instead of like a walking incubator that you have to check the dials on.

Fetuses are not special. Millions die every year without anyone ever knowing they existed. They get flushed away with a late period cause the conditions weren’t quite right.

If a woman wants to lie and pretend they are not capable, that’s her business. House is an asshole.

I have a rebuttal:

WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT A THEORETICAL FETUS? FIX THE FUCKING ARM THAT IS BLEEDING OUT YOU FUCKSTICK PURITANICAL ASSHOLE.

If you read the actual article there’s barely any evidence that any of what they are claiming is even remotely true. They talk about vague connections through certain words being used on YouTube that are, in their own words, inconclusive. And a bunch of anecdotal instances on reddit in which mods use “vibes” to detect AI slop comments and posts. And then finish with more anecdotes about some real world encounters that they think are written by AI.

I mean, no doubt that AI garbage is filtering into online discourse because let’s face it, people are lazy assholes who want easy karma and updoots. But this is hardly evidence that actual conversational language is being altered by AI.

I still use Pandora. I know they still lowball artist payments (not as bad as Spotify though) but I’ve never been presented with AI music on there as of yet.

I have no sympathy for a company that makes their employees work on Christmas Eve.

And now because of all of the media attention being generated he’s getting exactly what he wants. Millions and millions of views on his TikTok. He will likely be able to afford brand new glasses in less than a week.

Blaming Republicans is like blaming a wolf for eating a chicken. It’s in their nature, it’s what they do. So no, I’m going to blame the farmer for allowing the wolf into the chicken coop in the first place.

I 100% blame the Democratic party for this. They’ve been assisting the Republicans in their efforts to create this court for the last 40 years. Thomas should never have been confirmed to the court and Ruth Bader Ginsberg hung on at a time when she should have left while the “liberal” dems controlled both the presidency and the Senate and could easily have replaced her with a(n at least mostly) liberal justice.

And that board game is Settlers of Cataan.

Would be better if you called 'em a brit pop band. Cause they all look british AF.
