The Non-political ANGER THREAD

lol who would implant it? Those things are more annoying to put in than you’d think

edit: hahahaha

NOTE:: If you want this, do not hesitate. … Etsy canceled my listing for this item within an hour and eBay could do the same thing for any crazy reason. Political correctness, using AI, is starting to get out of control. These companies are using machines to do the thinking for them. The Matrix will be reality at some point IF we stay on this course. It’s happening. I even have an option to “Use AI description” to make a listing on eBay now. People … wake up. AI is an oxymoron. It is NOT intelligent. Don’t believe me? Then try reasoning with a machine . . .

there’s probably a youtube for DIY

Thing is with em is that there’s quite a few rare but super high acuity procedures I can do but only if shit has really hit the fan. Placing a temporary pacemaker is on that list lol. Things like c-sections are too.

A quick little YouTube hit before a weird procedure is pretty common.

It’s simple enough, you essentially place a central line (do that all the time), then kinda shove the wires towards the heart until it works. The hookups are known for being super annoying and finicky

Oh, I’m sure it is and I think it’s great they’re available. I watch tutorials on stuff I already know how to do all the time. But if I saw my doctor watching a tutorial on YouTube right before surgery I’d probably have a heart attack. Same deal with a pilot. We’re inclined to think of doctors and pilots etc as some kind of superhumans because that’s a lot more emotionally palatable than knowing they’re just people too.

I saw “my” pulmonologist today to check in after I started CPAP therapy. I’m a psycho and have been reviewing the granular data using Oscar, he was just going off of the basic stats he gets from the cloud. Anyway I easily knew way more about how it was going than he did. Which is totally fine and normal. If I was experiencing problems he’d have way more idea of how to address them than I do.

Check your state laws. I think you are still allowed to abort them.

Maybe he’s just down a YouTube rabbit hole?

I was reading some of questions for a high school quiz competition today.

There was a question about a president who “didn’t inhale” marijuana and had an affair with Monica Lewinsky. I got nothing but blank stares.

I’ve never felt more old in my life.

I’m sure Lewinsky would be thrilled that she has already become that forgotten.

Did you ask about ‘not a crook’ or ‘compassionate conservative?’ They may just be clueless

The first time I watched that Scrubs commercial I thought Zach Braff was wearing makeup to look elderly. :frowning_face:

The old beater I got for my 15 year old to drive only has a radio and CD player so I’ve been listening to a lot of older music lately. My son has/had never heard of the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, The Beastie Boys, Pearl Jam, the list goes on and on.

They certainly weren’t the best quiz team, but they weren’t the worst either.

When I talked to the other readers, there apparently many other blank stares to that question.

That varies widely by kid, though. I feel like at some point when he was 14 or so, my son locked himself in his room with Spotify for a few days and came out knowing every damn song released since 1967. Most of his friends are the same way.

Speaking as someone who grew up poor before high speed internet was really a thing there is almost nothing as different about my childhood and the current generation of kids. When I say that music for me, until I was 15 or so, was whatever was on the radio + like 6 CD’s (the best two and it wasn’t close were best of CD’s of the Beatles and James Taylor) + whatever was in school…

Kids today have all the music ever to draw on. I actually think this is going to be fantastic for music overall too. The really musically gifted people will have heard exponentially more different kinds of sounds than previous generations during very important stages developmentally… and I think we’re already seeing the impacts of that.
