It’s more than theocracy, yes, but fuck theocracy, it’s a significant piece of the long game on this.

WIRE or Signal. Granted, convincing your people to move with you is like trying to get an act of Congress in play.

I think they’re shocked when people don’t believe the shit they’re trying to peddle. Trump more so because he thinks he’s the best salesman.

It’s kinda like this. Say you lead the most boring, law abiding, square life, top 20% of the bell curve in that zone.

Would you want strangers in your house, even if they couldn’t technically touch or take anything? Would you want them in your spouse’s closet? Your kid’s room? Looking in your fridge?

Creepy and “hell no”, right?

That’s what privacy is about. The right to lock your door against strangers snooping.

Working in corrections requires NDA signatures. You’re not going to get much.

Edit: referencing The States

Must be apartment complex bathroom signage.

This is great. She’s got a keeper there.

People are already annoyed at base that they need any 2FA at all and don’t want to deal with more info. They just tune out.

I’m not in IT but I followed the Michael Bazzell podcast until he disappeared. Guy was a bit paranoid but there was great info there. My understanding was browser saving passwords isn’t secure, that those passwords are open to scraping from bad players. Ofc I can’t reference this because the entire body of over 300 podcasts disappeared with him.

Agree on Bitwarden and such.

You forgot the part where it allows you to have a normal bowel movement without straining. It’s the path to hemorrhoid reduction, possibly annihilation.

What is that? Potatoes with a side of stew on a plate?

Yes they do. Did you know, in healthcare, they can do this with all the nurses in more than half the states? It’s about whether or not your state has rules against it. The ones who have restricted it recognize how dangerous it is for patient safety. Kids have died because of errors made in these scenarios. And that’s just the publicized court case stuff. I’m sure grandma, with a no CPR choice logged in her chart, gets swept under the rug or not noticed as an aberration.

Hospital administration is cheap so they’ll use it as a standard staffing strategy rather than call an outside, more expensive agency, to fill in, when the state lets them.

These are usually the same states that do not have lunch break laws.

So you can get a nurse: post-surgical, ICU, ER, or elsewhere who hasn’t slept in 24hrs. Hasn’t eaten anything in 15hrs. Maybe longer, because these people have kids and go to class. There’s no sleeping between call lights, they have to be attentive for the duration.

They’re tapped on the shoulder about an hour or two before shift end and told they’re staying. On penalty of abandonment on their license.

Idk about you, but I can’t read words at about 18hrs. Working tired is like working drunk. This is scary.

That’s what I want when I’ve been in a bad car accident and need to be hospitalized. My safety in the hands of one person who is in their 21st hour awake and hasn’t eaten for 10-12hrs because nothing that sells food is open at night, including the hospital cafeteria. Even the food prep crowd is screwed on this one.

Another fun fact. At night, hospitals run with a skeleton crew of docs. Normally, this is fine. You have competent help, read: nurses, who can see and predict the patient having problems and can then call the doc, or page an emergency overhead and get even more people for the patient. Enter mandatory overtime nurse. How well is he going to do on this while essentially working drunk?

But hey, if it saves corporate a buck then it’s worth playing this game of Russian roulette, amiright?

Fuck. Don’t give corporate America ideas. It’ll be the next shit spun through this travesty of a Supreme Court.

A more militarily active Iran is never a good thing.

Some terminal illnesses, I think I’d prefer this route. ALS, for example. No fucking way am I doing that.

If it’s not a play on eugenics, just giving the terminal choices in how they go out, I don’t see the problem.

In Oregon, you have to be able to administer it to yourself. It’s not something someone else does to you.

Some people get it as an insurance policy of sorts. So it’s an option during end of life care, but not necessarily one they take.

I am curious about what happens with the med if left unused. Like, do people tuck it away like spare antibiotic eye drops?

Also a bit how working in the office instead of from home looks like.
