What happens when we shift the diagnostic concept of addiction from a yes/no permanent label (a la AA) to a continuum from abstinence to chaotic use? A thread 1/6

@guyinblackhat Just learning about his death. Just was at another funeral yesterday for another friend who died at his own hand. I thought of him often, as I was looking at maybe doing some work in Micronesia and he’s the only person I knew who lived in the us pacific territories.

Me, a huge nerd: you are going to need to be more specific

As much as healthcare loves to look to aviation as an amazing safety success that we should emulate, turns out they have a remarkably similar staffing and burnout crisis on their hands… via @NYTimes https://t.co/zkfEOMWYQB

If you can never agree with someone because you don’t like some of their beliefs, you will never get anything done. There is a reason we are routinely split 50/50 as a country - or close to it.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

Progressives: if you want to lose to conservatives, all you need to do is reflexively praise and support everything conservatives turn into a culture-war issue, without considering whether they might be right. Because sometimes...they're right.

@quality_nguyen $40,000 for vaccinating 100 kids? Clearly they haven’t seen how much we get for visits. Unless this is gross and not net, in which case, maybe it is about right. Vaccines add up.

@nathanwpyle B - nice work not declaring it wawa or sheetz. Also, it should be ice tea not soda in his hands.

The “only natural things” zeitgeist thrives off of an erroneous sense that everyone in 1,000BCE lived happy lives free of any disease and a lived until 200 years old when people only died because they wanted to or attained nirvana.

@WCInvestor If you make $500k a year and don’t understand how you could survive on less, you have completely forgotten how you lived on $50-60k/yr as a resident. It is easy to imagine spending more, hard to imagine spending less. Don’t cry about taxes, everyone’s first $60k is taxed the same

If there would be a ratio of how much trust we have in a group and how much power they have to ruin your life, I think IT professionals are at the extreme end of that scale.
