I'm just going to pretend the book review was posted as the OP instead.

For Americans and others only accustomed to for-profit care encountering this for the first time, the experience can feel vertiginous, like you’ve stepped into a film about the Soviet Union, except the doctors speak English and the building has running water. I do suspect there’s less phage therapy and more tea involved.

I've had this experience. It reminded me of being in public school. Everyone working there looks tired, the guy with almost debilitating tourettes is a security guard, the whole building is the color of oxidized beige computer hardware and maybe you can smell mold that experts have decided was totally nothing to worry about.

Was the Soviet Union like this?

Buying a bigger and better house in a nicer neighborhood, replacing anything that works okay but isn't perfect, paying for delivery instead of picking it up even when it's just 5 minutes of extra errand, furniture that matches, throwing away anything I haven't touched in a year.

The most audacious thing I did was having a matcha latte delivered to me by DoorDash when I was watching my kids at a playground.

It's still pretty hard. Money doesn't buy that much happiness.

I'm much more interested in living it up lately but I think it's better explained by my P(doom) being at 0.1 than going on a GLP-1

I was getting a colonoscopy the other day and right as the probe entered me and I saw how challenging it was for the doctor and nurses to get it up all of the way I thought "this job is safe from automation, robots won't be able to do this until like, 2030 at least"

What aren't you good at?

Definitely making shakshouka this weekend!

Elon is coming out in favor of Dario and it doesn't seem to matter? The e/acc types are ignoring their God and safetyism still codes left anyway.

I wonder if more safety types should conspicuously come out for Trump or if the issue is memetically poisoned by now.

Altman and others have tried appealing to Trump's vanity by proposing he win a Nobel prize if he negotiates the best Deal with China. He would absolutely deserve one. The only hard part is convincing the Nobel people I suppose.

I note that early groundwork for such a deal requires convincing China we plan to beat them in the arms race. A dose of copium perhaps.

I like your thesis but I would like to quibble with something else.

So I think for many it is shocking to see that both the legal system and a decently large group of women seem to be able to excuse this

Maybe I live under a rock, but I've only seen TheMotte and X (because that's where I hang out) claim women are excusing this. Does excusing mean they buy the postpartum psychosis story? Is this that widespread? Where? I worry we're reacting to especially crazy online women and fairly normal women are like "LC be guilty".

(I do think MA law is peculiar enough that if you apply it strictly enough Clancy had a strong case, and that's probably more MA's fault than women in the jury, but I don't expect most supporters to argue these points)

He had no legal expectation of privacy to begin with. But yes it's very chilling to harass a juror over giving the wrong verdict.

Also maybe raising $109k$175k in a GoFundMe will be enough consolation for the next holdout jurors.
