  It’s true. There are various witnesses of the Shoa who absolutely did testify this happened. I actually spoke to one of them in school - during highschool two survivors of the holocaust did come to my (German) highschool and talked about what they went through, extremely nice people with extremely horrible stories.

  One of them explained how they hid in an abandoned building and how the mother of the other family hiding with them choked their 8 week old baby when there was a official patrol nearby and they had to stay quiet. Didn’t help, they got caught shortly after and as far as we were told none of the other family made it.

  The worst thing? It’s one of the “less gruesome” stories the whole Holocaust has…

  Oh god yes, so much.

  I do disaster response planning, mostly for healthcare. “No, your OR really needs electrical power!” “No, you can’t still run your outpatient clinic during an active shooter situation!” “For fucks sake,NO,you will not use a diesel generator indoors to power the ED!Not even with a open window. Your windows are 30cm x 1m”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did you get your job?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and no. Old job was more IT and process related, nowadays I work more in disaster planning , public health policy and process planning in healthcare, spiced up with a bit of medical intelligence.

  Basically hospitals, large companies and government bodies are legally required to have plans for major incidents (from “hey,there has been a train collision, you get 30 severely injured in 20min” to “shit,we lost all power” or “IT outtake”) - we do the planning and training, including life exercises for you. You want to update your healthcare system/the placement of your prehospital resources(ambulances, etc.) as a state or government body? We do that that for you.

  You need to know which hospital in a random African country is the right one for a tourist with a sudden rare disease or your insurance wants to know how safe it is to send on of your staff members someone right into the current emerging disease hotspot? We do that for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did you get your job?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I got fired from a very stupid company (who would have guessed that healthcare companies needs more assistance instead of less during COVID? Not them.) when COVID hit.

  Started my own company from the severance,so basically I hired myself and created my own job…and a few more.

  Couldn’t be happier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can easily kill yourself with a water overdose (and it’s actually fairly common),so yes.

  Nutmeg was already mentioned - high doses can easily kill someone, sadly even without hallucinations simply by killing off ones liver and dying an agonizing death a few days later. The same goes for cinnamon, but with a much lower dose.

  There are a few more, but I don’t want to give people too many ideas.

  To make it short: Yes, possible,but it’s mostly a very slow death over multiple days that fucks you up really bad and is a horrible way to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly the hallucination effect does not correlate with the toxicity,especially the hepatotoxicity with nutmeg… You can absolutely kill of your liver and die an agonizing death a few days later and have no hallucinations at all.

  Reminded me of the company a friend worked for. They had little parking space but the price one had to park was reasonable - and most people used public transport anyway.

  Then they moved their office to a commercial area with no public transport within a few kilometres. And multiplied their parking prices by 10.

  … surprisingly the staff retention and recruitment rates dropped.

  Surprised Pikachu face Leopards ate my face

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it OK for a baby's head to be rolled all the way back on its neck?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As you correctly wrote newborns/very small babies heads need to be supported urgently - the head to body ratio of babies is very different from older kids and sadly the neck muscles are not that developed in utero. (Dark note: One of the reasons it was not uncommon - and still happens extremely rarely with underqualified healthcare providers- that newborns were sometimes decapitated when trying to facilitate a forceps birth 70+x years ago) Failing to do so can lead to various injuries, from muscular overextension (painful,can lead to chronic issues), ligament or nerve damage (can paralyse) or even vascular damage. I have seen a kid who suffered a fatal vascular damage from a sudden “falling back” of the head after insufficient support was provided and two more with rather complicated injuries - while these cases are super rare,they happen. (And kids are not all the same. My own kid came out and lifted its head 2h after birth and tried to roll onto its belly before we left hospital. Others take months just for the first thing)

  When they get older this becomes less of an issue, but they are still suspectable to another thing: External force and exhaustion. It’s a big difference between a kid sitting in a stroller or being on a flat surface and holding its own head and a kid being forced to stabilise its head against external movement by the carrier moving around, especially over longer periods of time. This can,in some rare cases even lead to the classic “shaken kid” syndrome (where repeated acceleration and deceleration rupture small vessels within babies brain,leading to a often fatal haemorrhage within the skull). I am fairly sure I read a case report once that reported about a case of a kid who suffered this while Mom was jogging with a unsuitable backpack like carrier, but sadly as PubMed is down at the moment (thank you,Orange and Elmo) I can’t find it.

  Yeah, that’s the problem - none has. Sadly I also only read about it here in a previous post about discord a few months ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Layoffs every 2 years⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me off a friend who was made to lay off his entire team. Himself included.

  He basically got his team in a meeting room, told them that everyone in this room is being fired. People of course were shocked and some shouted at him how he could do such a thing to them. “Again: Everyone, I mean literally everyone in this room is being fired.Understood?”

  He rehired half his team soon after for the company he created with his severance package.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pudendal Nerve Block⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The Pudendusblock,as mentioned before, is used to block the nerves of the pelvic floor. It is actually not that uncommon but I have never seen it being done on someone with a penis - it’s sometimes used for episiotomy or to stitch up tears that already happened in woman that did not get a epidural. The old,non sonography based method is actually used quite often in countries with less accessible modern healthcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think billionaires fear losing their fortune and becoming "a poor"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t speak for actual Western billionaires but I had the chance to speak to a few Arab billionaires (member of the ruling families) and a few Western multi-millionaires (as in hundreds of millions).

  In terms of the western ones: They don’t have a fear for their money,they have enough hidden accounts and real estate around the world that they will never run dry… They fear for the same thing: Their lifes. Basically in two ways: Partly they fear that some random leftist or a terrorist group like the Italian Brigate Rose or the German RAF will simply shoot them in the head or kidnap them so they can make a point. (Which is quite strange as none of the people I spoke with was even out of elementary school when these groups operated - but they were really afraid of them,not of some common criminal)

  The other thing is that they all were really really afraid of ending like the Romanovs - that there would be some kind of political turn and all of a sudden the “masses” stand in front of their estate with pitchforks and torches and hang them. (That’s literally a quote from one of them) Funny enough: None of them were afraid of the right wing - even though their families sometimes literally once lost almost everything to the fascists, etc.

  Personally that explains a lot of the current state of the world. Money will always gravitate towards right wing politics as the right wing is always fixed on a strong leadership structure - which makes it easy to identify who you need to “befriend” or bribe if you want to keep your money. And people who have seen political turmoil in a role where they felt unable to control their own social standing anymore also have a tendency to gravitate towards these structures. Et voilà you have a armchairs psychologists explanation for Elmo. Well,if you add in a LOT of ketamine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have diarrhea and you hold it in will your body retain some of the water?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No,no,you misunderstood!

  That is a complicated procedure that should only be performed by specialists,it’s not comparable to what you do at home.

  You get prior clearance from the buttfucking department of your insurance (they are always available and really good at this and also enjoy their job a lot) and then you get an appointment for a specialist within your network to buttfuck your doctor. If your insurance is good it can be ‘Vlad the impeller’, but most people only get ‘Norman needledick’ covered, but some choose a higher copay to afford ‘Redneck Randy’ at least.

  Unless of course you are one of us Eurofilthys, we all get the same ‘Pierre Puckerwrecker’ to buttfuck our doctor after waiting for three years, but at least it’s free

  Send them over the pond. Here the freelance/travel nurses make 2-4x what the normal nurses do(and with no real economical risk as they still are employed at the agency). And often have far better working conditions.

  Funnily enough, my toilet has it’s own app.(“Japanese style” shower toilet by a German company)

  It’s non-cloud, Bluetooth only, all functions work without it,but it tells you when preventative maintenance is due and enables you to configure the user profiles easier.

  So there’s that.

  Wouldn’t have bought it otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did Yoon lift martial law if he had the support of the military high command?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are dozens of photos that most of the military unit who were active at the parliament did not have magazines in their guns and often had blue training guns in their holsters or blue training pins in their assault rifles.

  This is nothing you do by accident - especially not in a highly qualified military like the SK military. It is a very good way of making sure that for starters none does something stupid like kill a MP, but also to show other units (and people) that you are not really on the side of whoever commanded you to do what you do. And it mak sure you look favorable in court if things turn against you.

  Considering that this was not a singular occurrence but happened amongst all types of units someone has ordered them/coordinatated this.

  How high up that was? Who knows. But it was a pretty strong sign, especially towards other units.

  Who knows, in theory it could also be a valid scenario that the military was “faking support” to motivate Yoon,knowing that he will be impeached after that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Donald Trump Team Plans to Cancel Biden's $7,500 Tax Incentive On EVs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tesla, according to Musk,can keep the prices due to their insane margins. Musk actually wants these subsidies cut to destroy his competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Donald Trump Team Plans to Cancel Biden's $7,500 Tax Incentive On EVs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Musk actually has stated multiple times that he is all for abandoning the subsidies as his own margin is big enough to sustain prices but it will “destroy” his competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Donald Trump Team Plans to Cancel Biden's $7,500 Tax Incentive On EVs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No. They deal with the fact that they didn’t start the technological race until it was too late (and haven’t fully committed themselves even nowadays) and that they strongly build their sale strategy on the Chinese market - which nowadays is basically an EV market and one where German cars are now seen as either preposterous or “Grandfathers car”.

  This comes together with a price hike (not only on EVs but also across their fleet - starting long before EVs were common and affecting the combustion fleet as well; see the price of the Golf or Passat compared to an average worker wage over the last 20 years + it’s resale value), a major lack of quality control since COVID and a lack of financial planning for this upcoming storm.

  In other words: Their problem was not the end of the subsidies (which basically only affected the ID3 anyway as neither VW nor BMW or MB had any other models below the maximum price threshold for the subsidy) but their lack of management flexibility in time with a rapidly changing market.
