My pleasure. I regularly put notes in my password manager about stuff like this.

Have a good day.

Can you maybe add a note to the account in your password manager to remind yourself of the limitation? I dunno, I’m just some guy

I would agree with that.

Hey, stop trying to be logical. These people don’t understand it, and that’s mean.

Ironic. Amirite?

There’s a whole subset of idiots that believe that you need to expose yourself to harmful shit to have a strong immune system. (See: all the people licking toilets and crap during lockdown)

There’s some credible science to it, in the way that, an immunization is literally putting “harmful” stuff in you to train your immune system. This is known science that I should be able to mostly hand wave around since most people already know this. Immunizations are usually focusing on a key indicator, eg, for COVID, it’s the protein on the outside of the vital cell wall (all the spiky bits in the illustrations) or whatever… I’m no scientist. For other viruses and bacteria, it’s a deactivated version of the virus… It’s essentially “dead” for all intents and purposes. It just resembles the virus so closely that it effectively trains your immune system to recognize it.

With all that being said, not all bacteria and viruses are something we can develop a natural immunity to, partly because some of them just kill us, partly because there’s something that is preventing it. Again I’m not a scientist.

Regardless, these idiots think that by exposing yourself to “natural” viruses and bacteria, you can strengthen your immune system. Bluntly, it’s possible to do that, and why the fuck would you want to do it that way? It’s literally a randomized version of a science we already have that’s tried, tested, and proven effective, called immunizations. With immunizations, you get all the benefits of surviving the horrors of some of the most nasty viruses and bacteria out there, without suffering through what those viruses and bacteria are going to do to you.

The whole thing is stupid.

If anyone argues about “good” bacteria, tell them to eat yogurt. FFS.

My pleasure. My dad had his flaws, but he tried to do right whenever he could.

He survived polio, and after he was told by doctors that he would be lucky to walk again, he not only was walking right up until he was admitted into the nursing home (and for nearly a year after too), but he also was able to drive, both a car and a motorcycle, and he learned to fly a plane, stuff that the doctors would have said would be impossible for him.

He was a teacher in a local highschool and taught computers in the 80s and 90s, into the 2000s, when he retired from teaching. Because of this, we always had a computer at home, which is how I learned, and I work in IT support now, in no small part because there was always a computer at home. Even back in the days of DOS…

No, but it would arguably make someone aware that a DNR exists. Not sure it would hold up in court, but it’s more than nothing.

DNR is more for unexpected death. Planned death, such as suicide (whether medically assisted or not), still requires a DNR.

The only way a DNR is applicable is if the party who is performing the life saving is aware of the order (generally medical professionals). Unless you have it tattooed on you or something, how could a random person know not to try to save your life.

If the green text in the OP is true, I have no idea what their lawyer was thinking. There’s no way to win that argument.

By the time paramedics arrived, the patient was alive by way of this passerby resuscitating them already. Even if the paramedics were aware of the DNR, it no longer applies because the patient is alive. So reasonable measures to keep them alive are appropriate. As long as they don’t flatline again, the paramedics are in the clear.

I’m any case, DNR has a place. Including for those that don’t want to die, but understand the aftermath of CPR is pretty unpleasant (broken ribs, for a start). So rather than suffer through the recovery from CPR, they have a DNR, so that if they go, that’s it.

They’re not in pain, nor seeking death, they just don’t want to suffer through the trauma and recovery of CPR and related procedures.

This is very separate from palliative care, though most of the time they overlap. Palliative care is basically comfort care for people near death. Often palliative patients have a DNR, but not always.

Additionally, on the subject of palliative care, anyone who is not of sound mind, cannot consent to medically assisted suicide, and nobody can consent for them. So in any case where there is a mental aspect, such as dimentia, Alzheimer’s, etc, such procedures are impossible. Even a power of attorney cannot consent on their behalf, one of few things that a POA cannot do on the patients behalf.

Beyond that, medically assisted suicide isn’t legal everywhere.

We don’t know where the poster is.

Palliative care, DNR, and medically assisted suicide are all parts of the equation, all with different purposes, frequently related, and often are administered together.

Source: my father died in January of 2022. He long started his desire to not become a burden like his mother was (Alzheimer’s). His most frequent statement on this was that if he were to go “that way” to simply “hand him a gun and he would take care of the rest”. By the time my brother and I realized he had “gone that way”, he was too far gone to be able to do that, and too far gone to pass the required psychiatric exam to be eligible for medical assistance in the matter. He had to be put in a care home and we quickly got him a DNR. He was in there for… I think 5+ years? Before passing away “naturally”. For us, he died a long time prior to his body giving out, and we would visit his corpse in the nursing home from time to time.

Where do babby come from?

It’s confusing since espresso is a type of coffee, and coffee (aka “drip coffee”) is a completely different type of coffee.

Coffee is both a class of item, and also a specific item within the class.

If you say coffee, it could mean the class of all kinds of coffee, or you could be referring specifically to the coffee item in the class coffee. If you say espresso, it’s still in the class coffee, but it’s a specific type of coffee that cannot be conflated with a different kind of coffee.

English sucks.

Based.

An Americano isn’t coffee.

It’s a watered down espresso.

The only reason it exists is because Americans visiting Europe would ask for coffee, and many euro coffee shops only had espresso, so they just added hot water to espresso and that was close enough for the tourists.

At least, that was what I heard.

Thanks for this. I like to be able to hop into games and save/quit at will. I have five minutes to play, I load the game, play for 4 minutes, save, quit, move on to whatever I have to get done next.

Works for single player stuff mostly, anything event/match based (TF2/CS2/fortnite/whatever) this doesn’t work super good unless the match timer is less than the time I have free.

There’s a good number of games that I have to intentionally make time to play, because I’m not waiting through 3-4 minutes of bullshit to play for 10 minutes. It’s just not going to happen.

So by eliminating the title screen/splash screen garbage, I might be able to have a quick session of game between tasks.

I’ve seriously considered buying MREs because I can’t be bothered to meal prep.

I’m not going to disagree with you. I just want to point out that if they manage to get their offspring infected when they also contract something… They have a chance of winning a Darwin award…

I’m not saying any of that is a good thing.

I agree with the idea of bodily autonomy. Above all, someone should have the right to do, or not do, whatever they want with their own person.

Whether that is to listen to doctors advice, buy pharmaceuticals and self-administer as prescribed, or even end your own life, and everything in between.

Quick disclaimer, suicide should still be evaluated by a psychiatric professional, and simply being suicidal shouldn’t necessarily mean that nobody can, or should stop you from committing that act. I’m mostly referring to medically assisted self termination, after the appropriate safeguards, checks, and balances have been cleared. Simply wanting to off yourself without being cleared as having sound mind should be something we, as a society, should address carefully, with the assistance of mental health professionals.

With all that being said: I probably would DIY some pharmaceuticals. Anything that’s an opiate or other restricted substance, definitely not. But if I can buy the ingredients without needing a special permit or license, I definitely would.

Something I’ve noticed with institutional education is that they’re not looking for the factually correct answer, they’re looking for the answer that matches whatever you were told in class. Those two things should not be different, but in my experience, they’re not always the same thing.

I have no idea if this is a factor here, but it’s something I’ve noticed. I have actually answered questions with a factually wrong answer, because that’s what was taught, just to get the marks.

I hate the mentality of “I had to suffer, so you should have to suffer too!”

And so many of them have that attitude.

It’s just gross
