A common enough mistake :) Re. your other comment though, I'm not sure the NYer has ever cared about worrying what conservatives will think about their contributors, at least not in my lifetime. I just read a lovely new Zadie Smith essay yesterday where she talked about her commitment to socialist ideals!
Which is ironic compared to the NYT, because I think the New Yorker tends to slip under the conservative media's radar, whereas the NYT has conspicuously attempted to appeal to conservatives but in doing so has only alienated some more liberal readers while still catching a whole lot of conservative ire.
Given the cartoons and references to fact-checking, I assume this is about the New Yorker (and not the NYT as another commenter suggested), but I'm a bit surprised because the New Yorker has been one of the most vocal outlets speaking out about the plight of Palestinians, even prior to the current assault on Gaza. Which obviously doesn't preclude the possibility that this guy's coworkers were weird and shitty to him, but like, the NYer has not been shy about discussing civilians casualties in Gaza and settler violence in the West Bank, or featuring guest pieces from Palestinian authors.
Chotiner alone has done at least a few dozen interviews in the past few years where he's made his opposition to the war in Gaza very clear, and (famously) made its supporters look very stupid and callous by letting them trip over their own words. But... Chotiner himself is a white guy (or at least I assume?), so there is that. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes. Could very well be some ugly office politics that this author is right to be upset about, even if I'm skeptical about his commentary on the effects of those politics on the NYer's reporting.
They do talk to conservatives a lot though. Many recent episodes interviewed Trump voters and sent reporters to Republican rallies to hear those "good points" from the source...
Some stuff would definitely either slip through the cracks OR tarnish the reputation of legitimate users. What happens when someone's device gets compromised by a botnet that silently clicks ads in the background or turns that device into part of a DDoS army?
There are prescription-grade NSAIDs that make Advil look like candy, but they're admittedly still not as heavy-hitting as bona fide painkillers. Great for inflammatory pain though.
^ Likewise if certain foods set you off and those foods are actually "good for you". If you feel like crap after eating a ball of grease, that's one thing, but it turns out leafy greens aren't supposed to give you a nuclear-level stomachache.
It could very well not be that, but I always feel compelled to mention it just in case I can spare someone else the same "three years of confusion to figure out what was wrong" fate that I suffeed :P
And even more broadly speaking, if your immune stuff does progress, the good news is that treating the biggest baddest one (in my case, the Crohn's) usually treats the myriad smaller ones with it. So if you ever end up arthritic enough to get treated for that, the treatment should knock down your psoriasis and other stuff too!
At first, a mix of mesalamine and oral steroids; then I graduated to Remicade and a low dose of methotrexate to stop my immune system from creating antibodies against the Remicade. And that's basically it.
I should also note that even when I was only taking mesalamine (a drug that works in your GI tract and basically nowhere else), my arthritis pain improved drastically, so it wasn't just the result of steroids having a general anti-inflammatory effect. Treating my intestines alone was enough for me to stop walking with a cane.
Hey: do you have any stomach problems? Because that was me (up to and including the arthritis part) and then my "IBS" turned out to be Crohn's disease and once I started treating that 90% of my other shit vanished. Things were so bad back then that I was seriously considering a hip replacement to make the pain stop, but today I just hopped off the exercise bike and feel totally fine.
I had the same experience trying to search some medical-ish* questions last night. It would be a shame if adding "reddit" to searches stops being an effective method to find non-SEO human content.
* Medical-ish as in trying to find out if people with the same condition as me have had good/bad experiences with a particular OTC supplement. Certainly not looking for treatment or diagnosis via Reddit (or any online avenue) :P
Wirecutter helped me find a brand of toilet paper that doesn't turn my bathroom into a dusty wasteland, so for that alone I'll always at least entertain their recommendations. Have yet to be led astray by any of their picks.
