That shit was wild. It went on for so long and impacted so many people. At that point I have to think people were intentionally ignoring it. It ruined so many lives just to say “haha sorry, was a software glitch” when they could have investigated it at any point and definitely should have with the strange uptick in “embezzlement”.
They weren’t. Its just like today where they were steeped in propaganda. Thats no excuse. We should have crushed them after the war. Since we didn’t we have had to repeatedly deal with the traitors.
Even now we should be crushing Texas instead of playing their games. We are responsible for enabling their abhorrent behavior.
Except part of that response is because suffocating is uncomfortable. If I had to die id rather drift off to sleep. Your grandstanding here isn’t going to get rid of the death penalty in Alabama. It may as well be more humane. Unless you are for more discomfort to make a point.
There was a dude who used to sell kits for people to kill themselves with helium. Random people can manage it with a hood they put on themselves. Its less prone to error than other forms such as lethal injection where they have to be able to hit a vein and not blow it.
Biden absolutely should be fighting this battle. I won’t hold my breath as i assume the Supreme Court will butt in but he should at least be trying. I don’t see why he wouldn’t given that it would be politically beneficial… then again ive seen him get more raked over the coals for trying on other issues (like student loans) when others who do less dont get near the scrutiny so politically it might not be all that helpful. Its still the right thing to do though. People are dying and red states have decided they have no obligation to follow EMTALA.
Things can be emergencies before people are actually in the process of dying. They consider labor an emergency medical condition under EMTALA and the vast majority of the time people dont die from it. Many could even get by with no medical care at all (not that we should do that). If labor fucking counts so should dying a little more slowly than active dying.
Transferring patients out of the ER does not absolve them. Its disappointing and fucked that this is being allowed to happen.
I loved working 4 10s (and at that place it was more like 4 13s) because it gave 1 day to relax, 1 to run errands/go to weekday appointments, and 1 to clean the house/relax. Id much rather work longer 4 days a week and have an extra day off the workday is so long anyway especially with a commute that I can’t do anything after work anyway (and I was too tired to).
Yea sadly. Even just looking at israel/gaza Trump would do at least as bad as biden and probably worse.
Sadly seems like Christianity is the biggest culprit for getting on board with genocide
Lmao you underestimate the religious people in this country. Sure we have Muslims but they are far outnumbered by Christians. Christianity is a bloodthirsty religion. Their whole religion involved taking from others outside of their group. Their rules applied only to others like themselves, it was totally fine to fuck over other people. The other people are people who equate anti Israel to antisemitism and dont want to be accused of such things.
Not really. I highly doubt it will be rescheduled prior to election when they are just talking about it now.
Yea dudes like that either live with a bunch of dudes who accept the constant stale piss smell or dont even realize their partners are constantly cleaning up their mess. Its not like a puddle from people missing. Its collection from being misted. Dude can’t beat physics whether he thinks his piss is magical or not.
Urologists are awful. Even worse for women. I’m always joking that they are mens doctors as they seem not to know what to do with women. Blood in urine? Must be a period…
Anywhere they aren’t animals or who have partners/roommates that make them clean the base of the toilet/walls themselves because piss splashes.
My issue with the hate he gets is he seems to get raked over the coals more than people giving away nothing because he’s “exploiting” people to fund it. Im just so sick of people jumping on even slight improvement over the status quo because they expect perfection from anybody trying to do any good. Theres a reason everything is being enshittified. Theres no reason people benefitting from the system have to even slightly improve it because every idealist who probably hasn’t done shit to improve the world will be there waggling their finger.
Don’t let ideals get in the way of good. While what you say is true, he could literally help no one if he hadn’t followed this business model. He wouldn’t have the cash. His videos bring in more cash which can help more people. Yes he makes money too but its more distasteful to me to be someone like you who prefers less people get help if someone else profits from it than it is to be someone like him who helps more people than you are and also makes money from it.
A bit rich for you to be saying his way is wrong when you probably haven’t ponyed up your own cash to help even a fraction of the people. The world you want to exist does not. Everything has a cost. Id rather people do some good in exchange for that cost than wish everyone did everything for free which incentivizes no one to do anything.
I don’t watch him. His videos don’t really appeal for me but I recognize the good that can be done in such a format.
100 years from now? Atheism is its own religion in a way. There isn’t evidence there isn’t a God. That doesn’t mean there is one but also doesn’t mean there isn’t one. The absence of evidence is not the same as evidence. Militant atheists must have faith there isn’t one which makes them far more similar to religious people than they care to admit.
Might be superficially pro human but anybody who uses such a horrific book for the basis of their religion can’t actually be pro human. They can make their impact less by being decent but they are still a net negative by believing such horrific shit.
You’re right. The only difference between philosophy and religion is the cult aspect. So why are we rewarding the culty versions that indoctrinate children into being unable to think for themselves rather than actual philosophical movements? Its backwards as fuck. Religon is much of why humanity is so stupid. It requires faith. Faith and critical thinking cannot coexist when the faith involves meaning of life stuff.
How many of those businesses work people so hard/overnight so they are sleeping in their offices? Its Ohio so probably not many but its probably still happened.
Its the intent that matters though. They dont get a heads up because people show up trying to better their own lives. When they dont give a heads up to other states and drop people off in freezing temperatures, they are intentionally hurting people. If Texas doesn’t want to deal with it they should surrender the land a few hundred miles around the border. They won’t because land is a valuable resource. They have more of that resource than many other states, dealing with having a border is part of the price of it.
The other problem is the reason they are doing it is to intentionally cause conflict with other states. That is the act of an enemy. Its cold war behavior. There is a reason I think of Texans as enemies of the US. They identify as Texan first, American second. They only care about getting ahead even at the expense of the country. We should absolutely accept refugees from that hellhole but we should also absolutely hold them accountable for being hostile to other states. They also get federal money to deal with it. Other states do not. They are stealing if they are offloading that responsibility on states who do not get funding for it. They can’t whine about being solely responsible for it when they get funding and are also actively interfering with border patrol.
I must admit Texas is the best at propaganda and playing victim. It feels extremely dystopian stepping off the plane and immediately noticing the pictures of Texas on everything. It was so wild I couldn’t help but laugh at how up their own asses they are. Their propaganda is so effective people in this thread really think they dont get funding and have to secure it on their own. Its just another lie they spin to win support and apparently its quite effective.
And never intend to have children because emergency care is unavailable.
