Can we just stop putting these people in charge of health systems? The hubris is astonishing.

Right, like, who did you think you were making surveillance tools for? Because it wasn’t Mr. Rogers.

Also, sometimes people can catch something without being aware of it.

Not just sometimes, a lot of the time. STD’s are often asymptomatic, especially in men. The majority of HPV infections have no symptoms, but they can cause cervical and other cancers (and warts!). Even with HIV, an estimated 13% of people who have it don’t know they have it (per hiv.gov).

The only computer software I specifically must use at work runs on Java, so it would run just fine on another OS… Even so, there’s not a chance in hell I’ll be able to use anything other than Windows :(

You’ll get no argument from me!

Both of whom are old enough that they wouldn’t be drafted. Barron happens to be the right age.

Why would you not both be able to take both names? Is there some archaic, patriarchal law getting in the way?

Look up the McMahons. There are several stories about accusations/investigations of their being directly and indirectly involved in sexual abuses, including of children. If they’re not in the Epstein files, it’s simply because they already had their own thing going and didn’t need him.

I have mixed feelings about zoos. The ones with tiny cages made just for ogling at animals just should not be allowed to exist. The ones which exist to support conservation, research, and educational efforts (and thereby go to lengths to ensure the animals are treated well) I think have a reasonable place in a reasonable society. Although, a reasonable society wouldn’t be creating the conditions which make conservation efforts necessary, but here we are.
