A few very niche subs appear unaffected, but mostly the questions are all like someone shook a magic 8 ball and the same crap pops up over and over and over.
You know how your brain feels after being assaulted by a commercial? Reddit feels more like that now.
Skinny tails on bell curves always exist.
Fuck. Don’t give corporate America ideas. It’ll be the next shit spun through this travesty of a Supreme Court.
Maybe so, but that doesn’t mean stay home on voting. Russia and China are allied, which is why Russia hasn’t failed in Ukraine yet. Iran is launching drones at Israel. (Neither are being great, but, a more active Iran isn’t a good thing.)
Do we want Trump or Kamala dealing with this crap?

You can feel the love when you play their games. I’m old. I remember Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale. Neverwinter Nights when it first hit, how big it was, how large the following was.
Playing Divinity OS was the first game in a while that had a love of RPG feels to it of yore. No surprise that they landed BG3.
It means OBGYN care in general is taking a giant nose dive. People don’t understand the terminology. “Abortion” is a medical procedure. Terminate a pregnancy: abortion. Expedite a miscarriage so mom doesn’t bleed to death: abortion. Remove a dead baby from the womb so a carcass doesn’t rot inside mom: abortion in the third trimester.
It’s all the same in a medical chart because medicine doesn’t make religious-political distinctions in their procedures, they’re just procedures.
Medical care should be private for no other reason than to keep this crap out of health care. Isn’t privacy what HIPAA was supposed to be about?
How do you even reconcile some of these state abortion laws with HIPAA, which is federal? Isn’t federal supposed to override state?
Looks about right.
For a while Google had the roadmaps to the property right but not Apple. Using your eyes it was easy. Following the app blindly, not so much.
Found a box at the back of the property clearly tossed over the back fence, no where even visible from the house. Compliments of UPS.
I’m guessing the nurse community probably has some outlandish stories to tell here.
Sex appeal in a name, so to speak. That's it. That's the answer.
I like meat too, but this is silly. Just had roast chicken yesterday. I also have a freezer with two door shelves lined with tubes of Impossible Sausage. It's a pretty damn good "sausage", and without those hard/random bits of gristle you'll encounter with the real thing. Think there's some Quorn chicken nuggets in there too. Just buy as you like.
And soy was a lovely mitigator for menopausal hot flashes. Dosed myself with soy on the daily for those weeks, no flashes (awful random surges of heat, head to toes, such that you sweat into your hair, behind your knees, awful.) Miss a day, hot flashes. Although, when you think on it, this fits with Florida, really. Fuck women's health, amiright?
This is correct.
Settlement management can get tedious and be a large time sink. Sim settlements 2 is actually not bad. You can off the most annoying ones on “mayors” to control. Show up later and add things if needed.
And there’s no link to tap to figure out those logistics.
Dammit, no. It needs to be a live squirrel not a knick knack.
I’m so disappointed.
That’s not scary as fuck.
Theres a strangely loyal following around the man. But let’s say he has an aneurysm and drops dead after taking office on these terms. Now what structure is the next unknown candidate moving into? Who is moving into it? It could be Bernie Sanders 2.0, which sort of defeats the purpose assuming this is all about Trump himself, that all of this is even happening simply because Trump is involved.
It’s like everyone is forgetting how fucking old Trump is. He’s old, fraying at the edges like he has Dementia (in and of itself, not in a degrees comparison to anyone else), and doesn’t appear healthy. I say this as someone who has spent decades in health care.
So they want to rebuild this infrastructure for him while dismantling base functioning of the country. The man isn’t immortal and he sure as fuck isn’t healthy. And no VP he chooses will ever have the chops to be anything, especially President, because it’s too much competition for his base hubris.
So they pave the way for dictator. The chosen dictator dies of old age and bad health. Now what?
What’s the punchline? Who is this for? It’s bizarre to think there really is no long game here, that it’s happening in the name of that one guy, but that appears to be what this is functioning on. It really is all falling apart, isn’t it?
We’re a larger melting pot. In fact, that’s kind of our schtick. In spite of the racial shit, it swings entirely the other way as well. It’s a big country. England doesn’t cover a lot of surface area. 68million vs 341.5million.
Regionally there’s dialect nuance based on immigration. We’re a country of immigrants. If we’re discussing Poland then let’s talk Wisconsin. You can’t throw a stick in any direction without hitting a “ski” last name. People actually say shit like “borrow me your car Friday” or “borrow me a pencil”, instead of “lend”. My understanding is borrow and lend are the same word in Polish, context telling you what you need to know. All without identifying as Polish, just Midwest American, as far as I can tell. Even though we’re younger as a country, we’ve had time for that to happen.
A more militarily active Iran is never a good thing.
In Oregon, you have to be able to administer it to yourself. It’s not something someone else does to you.
Some people get it as an insurance policy of sorts. So it’s an option during end of life care, but not necessarily one they take.
I am curious about what happens with the med if left unused. Like, do people tuck it away like spare antibiotic eye drops?
Exactly.
This is terrifying for married women. Conceiving a child in marriage is very dangerous in these states.
This fringe group that wants to target “sin” is really just targeting any woman with a functional uterus who is still firing eggs from her ovaries.
Some terminal illnesses, I think I’d prefer this route. ALS, for example. No fucking way am I doing that.
If it’s not a play on eugenics, just giving the terminal choices in how they go out, I don’t see the problem.
Outfits, weapons, junk is worth real money.
I think Bioware itself got rid of those god awful beige 70s supervillain pajamas.
Exactly.
Yes they do. Did you know, in healthcare, they can do this with all the nurses in more than half the states? It’s about whether or not your state has rules against it. The ones who have restricted it recognize how dangerous it is for patient safety. Kids have died because of errors made in these scenarios. And that’s just the publicized court case stuff. I’m sure grandma, with a no CPR choice logged in her chart, gets swept under the rug or not noticed as an aberration.
Hospital administration is cheap so they’ll use it as a standard staffing strategy rather than call an outside, more expensive agency, to fill in, when the state lets them.
These are usually the same states that do not have lunch break laws.
So you can get a nurse: post-surgical, ICU, ER, or elsewhere who hasn’t slept in 24hrs. Hasn’t eaten anything in 15hrs. Maybe longer, because these people have kids and go to class. There’s no sleeping between call lights, they have to be attentive for the duration.
They’re tapped on the shoulder about an hour or two before shift end and told they’re staying. On penalty of abandonment on their license.
Idk about you, but I can’t read words at about 18hrs. Working tired is like working drunk. This is scary.
That’s what I want when I’ve been in a bad car accident and need to be hospitalized. My safety in the hands of one person who is in their 21st hour awake and hasn’t eaten for 10-12hrs because nothing that sells food is open at night, including the hospital cafeteria. Even the food prep crowd is screwed on this one.
Another fun fact. At night, hospitals run with a skeleton crew of docs. Normally, this is fine. You have competent help, read: nurses, who can see and predict the patient having problems and can then call the doc, or page an emergency overhead and get even more people for the patient. Enter mandatory overtime nurse. How well is he going to do on this while essentially working drunk?
But hey, if it saves corporate a buck then it’s worth playing this game of Russian roulette, amiright?
Escapism, man. It’s on the up. Gaming is just that.
They’re both too fucking old. So if it helps you think about it, you may be voting for Kamala, not Biden, given his mental presence in the present.
This lackluster shit helps no one. But Trump would be disastrous beyond the 2016-2020 thing. He won’t leave this time. And he’s not the guy to deal with this Russia China alliance.
If ever there was an endorsement for mail in ballots, like some states have, this is it. You register to vote at the DMV. And your ballot shows up in the mail. No effort/extra time needed, large turnout.
Because reading any news headlines is like drinking from a firehose of liquid shit.
Reading climate change news is like drinking from a firehose of liquid misery and hopelessness.
High odds people skip all that to go play games or read a book. Or even to go outside and enjoy it while it lasts.
Edit: Not endorsing it as cool, just stating basic human behavior.
Also, SCOTUS is dismantling the last of democracy in favor of the corporate authoritarian state and there isn’t a damn thing a single one of us can do to stop it, so, might as well enjoy the immersive distraction.
They’re geared up for the authoritarian state. Corporate rule. Gutted EPA, FDA, etc. No privacy. Moderated online content. Increase the “domestic supply of infants” (read: work and military forces) by making women more brood mare like (see: Roes fall). And now a president is more like a king and can do anything. All of it points in one general direction.
