I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. I understand that the comment is not based on science and speaks of neurodivergence in a negative manner. By removing the initial comment, I believe it would take away the effectiveness of the commenters below. People vote with the down button and the user can see how unpopular his/her comment is. I don't wish to overly moderate a community if there is no active harm, especially when others have meaningful sub-comments that can help other casual readers understand the different aspects of what gender affirming care entails, hopefully enlightening others to see it is more than just for trans persons. I respect everyone's thoughts on the matter, even the ones telling me I am wrong for not removing it. I am still sticking with this decision. Thank you for everyone's input.

I agree with this analysis of the reported comment, and chose to leave it as it has provoked a constructive conversation. It does not appear to be malicious in nature. I will keep an eye on this post to make sure things remain civil. Thank you.

I actually like it as much, if not better than last season. I agree with the commentary on the fact that I wish the episodes that are based upon older trends/events would have been better if released more concurrently with those events.

I am less fond of the Bender-heavy storylines.

Though many of the jokes are a bit predictable, it still tickles me. I don't seem to find as many quotable lines, but maybe I have overly and repeatedly watched the other seasons so much they are stuck in my brain.

In any case, I still think the pizza analogy holds up. May be bad, good, or somewhere in between, but it is still pizza and I will eat it every time with some semblance of enjoyment.

Didn't get to watch it until after work. As far as the episode went, I enjoyed it. So far IMO better than the previous season. I do agree with your analysis on the subject matter but still got some laughs out of those moments that are in the background or random elements of humor (Zoidberg's main moment in this episode). Sorry trying not to be too vague while keeping from giving away spoilers.

I was aware of the lab tests GFR and GFR AA but didn't know how or why African American kidney functions were calculated differently. After reading the article you posted, I searched a bit more to find out the history of these labs. For anyone who might be interested, please check out this link: https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/race-and-egfr-what-controversy

It is unfortunate it took this long to investigate and attempt to rectify the situation. I say attempt because regardless of the current efforts many individuals and family members were gravely affected by not being identified as having kidney disease and treated sooner.

At least it is sounding like awareness of racial disparities in healthcare are becoming more recognized, yet how long will it take for all these changes to take into effect on a broad scale? Sadly, I doubt there will ever be total equality in healthcare within our society.

@drawerair per community rules, please include an original description context of video next time.

Will not be removing this post, but just reminding all members that posts with only links to videos are generally not accepted in this community as it has been a problem in the past.

Thank you for your understanding.

 

Found this interesting. I never saw the updated version, but I am guessing I probably wouldn't have noticed the change. Just a random article I came across thinking you might enjoy. Or not. If I die, tell my wife hello.

 

Quote from the article

One page of the company’s website compares a human nurse’s $90 per hour salary to an AI agent’s $9 an-hour running costs. Hippocratic claims its AI nurses outperform human nurses regarding bedside manner, education, and narrowly miss on satisfaction, according to a survey.

I don't know of any tele-triage nurses that get paid $90 an hour. Moreover bedside manner does not equal telephone/video demeanor.

You wake up in your cryopod, urgently use the restroom, get probulated, and have your career chip implanted. On your way to your closest living relative's place you pass by the Head Museum. Which person's head from the year 2023 do you expect most to see there?
