I mean it would actually impact my ability to hydrate certain patients under certain circumstances if there really ever 0 plastic straws anywhere ever.

copying @mbm@lemmings.world in case beehaw defedded them too:

"Love Is All You Need?" We watched it in class and the ending really hit me hard.

Fun fact for why you can't see the other reply: it's from a beehaw user, and beehaw doesn't federate with lemmy.world. Completely forgot that was a thing.

Oooh yeah I forgot. I thought about joining beehaw way back but for me they went a little too far on the controlling end of the free speech spectrum. They came off as kinda joyless to me (I read a book recently {algospeak} that actually discusses the way censorship can make it difficult for marginalized communities to joke about or even just meaningfully discuss their lived experiences).

I'm also not completely opposed to interacting with world (as opposed to say hexbear) but I'll also avoid posting on their comms if there's a similarly sized one elsewhere. and ml I avoid the comms if I notice but I'll usually interact with the users. I'm not perfect about any of this but I think defeds should be a pretty serious thing overall and beehaw seems to do it every time another instance sneezes.

I think the other replier got it but I wouldn't know where to find it to watch.

The worst part is that it's not just that it's a position of power, it's that there's also very little else about it that's desirable. Your entire job is to show up places and tell people to stop doing things they want or feel that they need to be doing, and often that they're willing to physically attack you for interfering with. The pay is also pretty mediocre overall. So if you want overall pleasant interpersonal interactions or a decent wage, you'd have to go elsewhere. If all you want is power over other human beings, that job will be a great fit for you.

we were actually taught in nursing school that sense of taste fades with age and that sugar / sweetness receptors are pretty much all that holds up after a while.

I think so.

well clearly all used products must go to the landfill after the original purchaser is done with them, regardless of how much or little they were used since purchase.

ok but why is my husband this fucking funny:

entering the workforce as a young millennial I had a lot of older coworkers talk shit about the young kids wearing their unprofessionally fashionable jogger scrubs but they certainly don't drag through spilled bodily fluids like flared ones do!

I remember watching a short film as a teenager where homosexuality was the norm and being straight / having reproductive sex outside of deliberate family planning was seen as sinful / socially irresponsible. A young hetero girl makes an attempt by exsanguiation. I don't remember the name of it though.

chatgpt aside this is a much more realistic way to look at it than left / right.

well honestly it's the creation of high attention / judgment tasks with high risk to human health and safety then making many of them either a part of daily life (driving) or making them jobs you have to do 8-12h straight 3-5 days a week (health, public safety, public transportation, etc). Train companies in particular are basically famous for making their conductors functionally unable to use sick hours, and medical residency is famous for 48h+ straight shifts. Personally I'm finding I have to do about 4-5x12h shifts (48-60h weeks) to stay solidly in the black, but me and hubs are considering how we want to cut back for a little more wiggle room. If we really valued human health and safety we'd keep those tasks much more specialized and make sure the people who do them have way more downtime to decompress but alas the capitalist wheel must keep turning.

I've been on an extended tolerance break from substances myself. In January I'll have two years off alcohol and I'm August I'll also have two years off THC (I used it to quit the alcohol but wound up with CHS). Supposedly at the two year mark a bunch of your neurochemistry has mostly reset itself so once I've done that AND have a sober-only hobby I think I'll be safe to reapproach occasional drinking. And I'll also know that I have the coping skills to take another tolerance break if I need to. I too find the self flagellation of addict culture to be both highly performative and ultimately counterproductive.

JUST TALK TO YOUR LOVED ONES ABOUT HOW YOU WANT TO DIE. It shouldn't be this taboo, we literally all do it!

beat me to it

barnyard was such an underrated movie

I've gotten callbacks within 12 hours for applications I didn't even finish and submit. It's hard work but there'll never be too little of it.

and I actually really like that one particular use-case of ai because less required human interaction gives the blind user more independence. The remaining issue of corporatization and private ownership of something that should be a publicly owned resource (as with many other assistive technologies) is a society-wide issue and framing it as a futurist vs Luddite discussion is a powerful misdirection.

...and that's how I converted to Gnosticism.
