Catoblepas , to aww in JFK Airport. I'm not taking their advice.

AFAIK they don’t use those in airports, at least not in the domestic flight area. I could see it being used at customs or something, although I think even in customs they usually have dogs sniffing for agricultural concerns like plants and seeds rather than drugs. The dogs you see near security theater checkpoints screening areas are all bomb sniffing dogs AFAIK.

It’s probably for bomb sniffing dogs, I’ve seen those at JFK and LAX along with those signs in the past. Like right near the cordoned off walkway they have set up for them to walk near everyone in line.

I wasn’t trying to say anything cutting, just a Watership Down reference 🐰

The world as General Woundwort imagined it.

Catoblepas , to Work Reform in Saw this and thought it was fake until I googled. It's real.

Only a slight step up from asking for volunteer workers (you did not misread that).

Catoblepas , to aww in I held a baby squirrel today!

Catoblepas , to U.S. News in FTC bans noncompete agreements for workers

Jesus, real love for essential workers there. I might be confusing it with district court rulings, either way I’m glad it’s getting addressed!

Weren’t noncompete agreements essentially unenforceable before this because of court rulings? Forcing employers to notify employees of this is definitely good, though.

Catoblepas , to Men's Liberation in Despair makes young US men more conservative ahead of US election, poll shows

‘Went towards freedom slower than other groups’ isn’t the same as ‘trending towards control’ 🤷‍♂️

Catoblepas , to Men's Liberation in Despair makes young US men more conservative ahead of US election, poll shows

I don’t think you’re reading it correctly. Men 18-34 were the only group that trended towards the control axis compared to 2014. Both women and men 18-34 went much lower on the despair axis compared to 2014, but women still moved towards the freedom axis instead of the control axis.

Catoblepas , to Seattle in Seattle driver runs over tents on downtown sidewalk

Officers pursued the Seattle driver but abandoned the chase when they learned the tents were empty and no one was injured.

Useless fucks.

Catoblepas , to xkcd in xkcd #2907: Schwa

As a native English speaker and Spanish learner, consistent vowel pronunciation is so incredible. 🥺 Just looking at a word and knowing how to pronounce it… amazing stuff. Kind of wild that in some languages you don’t have the ‘curse of the self educated’ (randomly mispronouncing words you’ve only read, not heard spoken).

Catoblepas , to U.S. News in A drugmaker’s feud with the DEA is exacerbating the ADHD meds crisis

I looked into this a bit but it seems like the reputable ones don’t ship controlled substances even with a prescription, unfortunately.

Catoblepas , to U.S. News in A drugmaker’s feud with the DEA is exacerbating the ADHD meds crisis

My husband has been looking for a refill since Friday but no pharmacies in our area have any. He has a different medication left over from when his psych switched meds for him so he’s been using that, but it’s eventually going to run out if more shipments don’t come in. He switched medications for a reason too, his old one has side effects he really doesn’t like.

It’s just so fucking frustrating. I feel like people don’t understand this can literally kill people. Many people with ADHD drive and being off your medication is a risk factor for being in a wreck because, surprise, driving requires attention! Even for those that don’t drive, most of them walk and will do so near cars. People with untreated ADHD are more likely to die for a reason, there’s just too many ways that being momentarily inattentive can kill you.

ADHD is still viewed as a moral flaw by many, consciously or subconsciously, along with the belief that you can/should just will yourself out of it. But it’s a developmental disorder. The parts of the brain that are supposed to be responsible for all the things people with ADHD struggle with didn’t fully cook. You can’t just self manage yourself out of your brain not being fully cooked. These meds are necessary and I could peck the eyes out of the stupid fucks at the DEA that decided to crack down twice as hard to make up for their fuck ups with the opioid crisis.
