What’s “universal” is that it’s fast if you have enough money and connections

I don’t hear it often in conversation, but we do use the word. “Scrounge up a snack” or “some change” sometimes being cheeky about it
- Comment on My mom an old school nurse will stop at traffic accidents and try to help if no one is around, my new school sister nurse won't. Saying everyone is sue happy thesedays. Who is right? 2 weeks ago:
I always stop if no one is around or if everyone is just standing around looking uncertain. I couldn’t stop myself if I wanted to, I feel compelled to go help. Lawsuits be damned, just stick to within your scope of practice and you’re fine. Or if you’re really that nervous, stabilize them and call EMS, and then leave… don’t just do nothing.
Broken ribs with CPR? That’s in your scope of practice. They were a DNR and you didn’t know? Doesn’t matter, EMS is gonna do the same, it’s not worth risking a life because you’re not sure. They have DNR tattooed on their forehead? Still doesn’t matter, it doesn’t count (though I may personally make a judgment call on that one)
The fear of lawsuits is just a little overhyped, there are laws to protect against them. Just stay within your scope and help

What triggers your spidey sense that you can tell it’s slop? I can see it after it’s been called out, but I feel like I’m not catching it instantly (like an uncanny valley)
I can now see that:
the yellow dick is the only one with a urethra, the hand around it fades from green to yellow, the faces look like caricatures instead of photoshop (too smooth), and the green dick is the only one slightly obscured by a face
But I hate that I don’t (almost) instantly notice, so maybe I need to pause for a second and consider if it’s slop… because it’s so rampant? What sticks out to you that you can call it?

- Comment on Subtitles 1 month ago:
I just can’t freaking hear. Audio processing issues cause too much of a delay, while I’m also trying to follow the plot. Subtitles ease the burden for me, or else I have to blast the volume and don’t talk to me

- Comment on Loosing my religion 2 months ago:
You get it. Insidious “mustard seeds”, if so needed. You can’t always logic someone quickly, it takes a lot of time to even consider changing any core beliefs. But I really value my time. So it’s either worth it, or I’m taking the path of least resistance… aka, “your family’s the devil and you didn’t even know. Sorry, God certainly loves YOU though. And maybe we woulda worked in a different life, but until then; bye and god bless”

Some of us do hold this stress because of ptsd from having to deal with it so directly. Idk that person’s back-story, but I’ve seen the same type of reaction plenty in my field. They want to eradicate any sense of misinformation that they feel is being said, because of their experience with it. It’s visceral, unfortunately
I also know exactly where you’re coming from and that you’re legit kinda just talking about a beard (and you’re being friendly on a public forum). Try not to take too much offense I guess; and I personally appreciate the amount of chill you have towards that much reaction. I hope a lot of us can heal one day. And I hope you can continue being as calm and kind as you seem, to those who are still hurting about it all
Source: I saw too many people die horribly, rapidly, and several times a day for months (and then often times, for years)… while trying to protect myself and loved ones— and some people acted selfishly, according to the mis/disinformation they were fed. It’s still visceral when I think about it, because of the amount of fear/stress it produced. But I’ll never give up on healing myself, just as much as I tried to help those we lost. It’s just hard af dude, but not impossible. I’m sorry for all of us ngl, and truly appreciate you hearing me about it
