Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

I have the same issue. Any time I get labs (or an IV) I ask for the ultrasound. Usually they listen, some lab techs think they know better ('you have such fat veins!'). Ya asshole I know but they don't like getting poked. My personal record is a tech, 2 nurses, a phlebomtomist and 6 attempts.

I think the fraud stuff is hitting with low info voters (who vote in large numbers in MN!). That plus Tafoya's name recognition and her seeming affability is probably playing a role. Unlike Demuth who is running blatantly racist ads, what I've seen of Tafoya's have been dishonest but have less 'ick'

The end of 2.0 and all the other expansions is dozens of hours of narrative followed by a couple quests and another raid, pretty much non-stop until you get to the next. Getting to new content from lv 1 is a slog but it is incredibly well written.

Reacher (book) kills white supremacists (fictional), but Reacher (streaming) hasn't yet despite Alan Ritchson (Reacher (streaming)) wanting to because of studio fear of white supremacists (actual, government).

Am seeing a lot of takes and also responses from actual victims. People can be trafficked into any abuse situation and if the FBI doesn't want to punish survivors of trafficking that is a good thing, actually. If we didn't have an assclown for FBI director the actual nuance might be more evident.
