New comment by jsilvers in "I was recently diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis"

Back in 2007, I was diagnosed with Churg-Strauss syndrome, renamed to the pithy Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA). It affects about 3 out of every 100,000 people, so rare. At the ER, I was told maybe I had tuberculosis. Then they thought it could be cancer. Then they thought maybe HIV. A few weeks later after being hospitalized because it had become progressively worse a pulmonologist correctly diagnosed it. Autoimmune diseases seem notoriously hard to pinpoint. Churg Strauss is a syndrome, meaning it's a constellation of symptoms. Some organs were permanently damaged, but I'm doing well and haven't had anymore flare ups. Glad this author shared his experience and that he's doing better.

New comment by jsilvers in "Train ferry"

Had this same experience many years ago traveling from Hamburg to Copenhagen. I had no idea there would be a boat involved in the trip. "Gee, this is a long stop... and where are we?" only to realize we the train was actually parked and still moving.

New comment by jsilvers in "Facebook reportedly discredited critics by linking them to George Soros"

jsilvers — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 17:44:52 +0000

Google updated their sexual misconduct policy as a result of employees taking action and speaking out. The policy is a good iteration, but moreover, symbolically it means a great deal for a company of that size to show it listens. I don't work at Google but can only assume that these changes have changed the culture for the better.

New comment by jsilvers in "How the Finnish survive without small talk"

jsilvers — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 17:06:18 +0000

It's funny because often the stories about small talk in the US center on how vapid it is. People ask, "how are you," and most people are conditioned to say, "good, thanks" (or some variant) and leave it at that. Then you're trained to say, "and how are you?" and often it's the same reply. Then it's onto the weather, news, sports, or other topics. Despite that it's formulaic, as an American, it's comforting and within the norm.

RadioLab ran an interesting episode about the person behind this lawsuit and other lawsuits against affirmative action in schools. His activism a double edged sword. https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/more-perfect-plaintiffs/
