What’s bizarre about the avocado toast thing is avocados were 2-4/$1 or a whole whopping $.79 ea then.

Because reading any news headlines is like drinking from a firehose of liquid shit.
Reading climate change news is like drinking from a firehose of liquid misery and hopelessness.
High odds people skip all that to go play games or read a book. Or even to go outside and enjoy it while it lasts.
Edit: Not endorsing it as cool, just stating basic human behavior.
Skinny tails on bell curves always exist.
A few very niche subs appear unaffected, but mostly the questions are all like someone shook a magic 8 ball and the same crap pops up over and over and over.
You know how your brain feels after being assaulted by a commercial? Reddit feels more like that now.
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.
I purchased Going Postal in an airport. I ended up laughing out loud on a plane.
Sometimes it’s shifting gears. Clutch leg can get annoyed in heavy traffic. So, foot off the clutch, out of gear at a light for a little sigh of relief. Probably takes an extra second or 3 to get going. No phone involved.
The choices are ending what’s left of democracy and not. That’s it.
Also, high odds you’re voting for Kamala, not Joe.
Waterproof Bluetooth speaker.
Ballot initiatives are Democracy. That’s about as good as it gets for us. It’s bullshit that they are not accessible in every state.
The lack thereof makes the state legislature into a variation of an autocrat.
It’s not about giving away money. It’s about an entity that grossly mishandled money on a large scale having the audacity to give advice to others on handling money.
Worse, they’re giving micromanagement level advice regarding the money involved with a cup of coffee.
