Tell that to all the tech bros on the internet are convinced that ChatGPT means AGI is just around the corner…

Thank you for bringing this up. I’m a nurse on a cardiovascular progressive care unit, and we get a handful of young people (40-50s) who come in with “no prior history” having heart attacks or borderline heart attacks.

One of the things I’d note is that most of them have high blood pressure that they didn’t know about. High blood pressure doesn’t feel bad, so they never felt a need to see a doctor. But it is silently damaging arteries, particularly the delicate ones in your heart, kidneys, and brain.

The only way to know if you are developing high blood pressure is to get it checked regularly. Get an automatic blood pressure cuff for your house, or go to your primary care physician once a year. And when they tell you that 140/90 is putting you at higher risk of heart attack, take them seriously.

And you have to remember that there’s a difference between what some random idiot on the street thinks and what someone can actually be prosecuted for.

Jesus Christ, do the fucking CPR

Modern CPR training insists that you have to announce what the fuck you’re doing because that’s the standard of communication during an emergency. When we’re running a code in the hospital, we announce our actions to the room, so everyone knows what’s going on. That’s just how it’s done

I thought this as well (massive safety events being a pretty normal thing, after all) until last year when the wet market swab data was finally analyzed. (After apparently being leaked? Accidentally? Accidentally on purpose?)

“Both early lineages of SARS-CoV-2 were geographically associated with the market”

The real reason? Bad, old parking regulations: https://youtu.be/OUNXFHpUhu8?si=sv3Rdh15Q0k5UHKU

No really. It’s the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever learned about my country.

Yep, when Meta bought it, I warned my group friend chats that the second they start trying to monetize it, I’m going to whine until they all switch to Signal. Guess it’s time to start nagging

There are no rules when you are unruly

Shhhh… you’re not allowed to point out anti-Indian racism on internet forums.

Seriously though, it’s amazing how many people can’t see how they use the same fucking rhetoric talking about Indians that they themselves would immediately condemn being used against any other population.

India was systematically robbed by an industrialized, kleptomaniac regime less than a century ago. And today they are working to position themselves to be a major world power in the future and fans of colonialism and Western hegemony can’t stand it.

I only have one sibling and she has children. So that’s a hard pass from me, fam. Lol
